Driving on
a combination of roads for 8000
spirited miles
Had these on my daily Clio 182 since April now, they have been utterly fantastic. Mine are the 180 tread wear rating.
The dry grip is superb, but not too much as to stop you having fun. Can still make the car very playful when you want it to be ;). I have given them plenty of abuse as I like to drive my car hard when the roads allow and they have never let me down, they can probably grip much more than my driving ability allows.
Had zero issues using them in wet weather, used them on a run up to Scotland in torrential rain and again, no issues whatsoever, in a lot of standing water they aqua plained a small amount but so did the Michelins and Pirellis so they are perfectly fine to use in wet conditions.
The rears still look like new after around 8000 miles and the fronts have another month or so left in them. The tread has worn evenly across the tire, I am running -1.5 camber on the front. Tire pressures up front I run them around 29 which allows them to warm up nicely.
I will have no doubts about purchasing these again when they are ruined on the front, this time I may buy the 120 tread wear rated ones and put them on the rear and put my current rear 180s on the front.
Overall, excellent tires and I much prefer using these over the normal high performance road going tires, especially for the price.
