So I've had these tires on over the winter since September. Neither do they seem to excel in any particular situation, nor do they fail in any either, which I guess is what you get in an all season tire. Very wet handling is good, no aquaplaning and good braking. However on damp greasy roads they do slide a bit. Dry grip is good in a straight line, however in corners there is a bit of jelly like feel that I have experienced before for example in goodyear efficientgrips. It does hold on, but doesn't give you confidence. Snow handling was marginally better than summers, but no way what I was expecting given the hype by motoring journalists. Wear seems reasonable so far, as others have mentioned little stones do get stuck in the tread. It is a quiet tire. Would I buy again, probably if the price is right. If you like a nice motorway cruise this is probably a good choice. If however you like an enthusiastic drive through the bends its probably not for you.
