First impressions after around 2000 km of drive.
City and highway experience.
Very good tires. Very reliable feel, great response, low noise, steering wheel on a stiff side (I like it), safe.
Comfort: very dependent on the pressure inside the tires. My 215/55/r17 tires had 2.4-2.5 bar after they were mounted. The ride was on the "hard" side and would not call it as very comfortable. Checked on the car manufacturers recommendation for my tires size- it was from 2.2 bar to 2.4 bar. I made it to 2.3 bar and the ride comfort became superb, very enjoyable. Pay attention to that (jus the change of 0.1 bar in the tires pressure can make significant difference in comfort).
Dry roads: no complains. Low and high speeds feels very reliable, accurate and safe.
Wet roads: very good at lower speeds (up to 80-90 km/h). Great handling, stopping, great road feedback and safety. On higher speeds (up to 140-150 km/h) on heavy rain I would call the tires as adequate and predictable. However at such conditions the driver should be mindful.
Overall: very satisfied with these very well balanced tires.
