i bought the car with these tires already on but the previous owner had these fitted so the car could pass its mot so really i have used them since new. i have done 10,000 miles on them and the tires are now deformed they are cracking in between the tread and on the side wall the grip in wet weather i find is not the best as it likes to wheel spin with out trying grip in the dry is ok but there are better tires out there that will give you more grip. overall would i buy these tires no i have now replaced the 2 front tires with lassa tires and what a difference .
