These tires have lasted almost twice as long (20,000 miles)on the front two wheels as some other similar premium brand tires and have much better wet weather grip.
They do give quite a firm ride which can mask the road feedback a little at times although they are quiet, but they are the tire I've been most happy with so far.
They don't give fantastic forward grip in the snow but they are not a winter tire.
I have also tried Goodyear F1 GSD3's and Vredestein Ultrac on the front of this car (Seat Leon TDi Cupra 150).

expensive but the absolute best all round tire in the world
