Great SPORT tires. Made in Japan now replaced by V107, I believe. Oldie but goodie and still great tires.
Had them on for about 3 years. Stiff sidewall gives your great handling and a stiffer ride, with direct steering. Not much in the way of rim protection tbh. These tires shine in wet and dry and give a great feedback through, just make sure you have the chassy to enjoy it, along with the steering precision.
These tires are rated under UTQG = 240 AA A
People don't mention this metric in Europe, sadly, because its a more USA thing, but its an important one. Even some reviewer such a tirereviews rarely mention it????
Grip is AA highest. Temp is A highest and thread life is 240....errrr..... That's the bad bit on these tires, that's not far off track day tires. Wear is not the best. If you are looking to get 20K miles on these, forget it.
These babies will give your car a stiff, grippy ride in any condition. You will enjoy driving, with control safety and grip.
If only for about 14,000miles - 16,000miles.
Noise is average due to grippy compound. EU rating for rain is A and economy is F, which is a bit poor these days. Again due to sticky compound.
Would i buy again? Hell yeah if they are on offer, sadly currently, they are not.
