Top 3 Platin RP 420 Reviews

Given 67% while driving a BMW 520i (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,000 easy going miles

Fitted on front axle only. My driving style is absolutely normal. On dry surface they are very good and quite good on wet as well, despite the tarmac of the roads where I live is not water draining at al. Handling and steering are not very precise because the shoulder of the tire is not stiff enough, despite it's XL rated. Even if inflated at max load pressure and XL, the tire feels the weight of the car. But the BIG downside is the noise. They are extremely noisy, even more than previous Riken that I replaced because old and noisy due to too hard and cracked compound. I would by these Platin only if much less noisy, because I like the grip they have on tarmac.

Given 87% while driving a Alfa Romeo MiTo (195/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles

Really good value for this price category. Good handling in wet and also in dry roads. Maybe a bit more noisy..
