This tire is fitted to a 5 door A1. The purpose is a year round everyday tire legally capable of ski season road trips to the Alps. Consequently, a very safe tire for UK conditions year round. For non-spirited driving, the tire is excellent, quiet, efficient. When driven calmly, the tire performs equally well in dry, wet and on long road trips to the Alps. When I am driving faster, I feel the snow bias limits handling speed in UK conditions and I cannot drive the A1 as quickly on a greasy UK B road as I could something like the TS870 winter tire.
For me in a faster car, it isn't a tire I would choose.... the search goes on for the optimum tire on COLD, greasy roads in cold ambient temperatures for fast road use.
However, for my wife in an A1, excellent and safe, all year round. I think it is an excellent price, often discounted, well stocked and I would recommend it for anyone that isn't spirited in their driving.
