The tires came fitted on the car when I bought her second hand a year before. The tires were almost new and were advertised to be at 90%. I drove them about 10 000 km. My driving stile is a little more sporty then averege and I tend to corner harder so there is no supprise that the tread wears out quckly but with these tires the wear is a little too quick. At last, I think, the tires ware worn down to about 60%.
One summer night on a dry hiway I had a terrifying incident trying to avoid a high speed crash. I was forced to make an abrupt manoeuvre that made the car skidding several times from side to side. While there was no damage to the car itself, later I notticed the tires started to wobble a bit at low speeds, and that gradually started to go from bad to worse. Finally I had to replace them as the rear wheel tires were internally damaged and out of shape. While the tires didn't broke apart I don't think it's a good idea to buy the same model again.
