The worst tyre I have ever had to use in cold weather and snow. A danger on this vehicle.

I like these tires, but when I'm due to replace them I will probably switch to the non- run flat version and get the spare kit for my car. Mostly becuase the run flats are not only expensive but also hard to find.

Comment:
VERY HARD... Strangelly you can feel more bumps and road imperfection, but not the tyres itself. Doesn't grip as good es the non RFT. If flat, it behaves FAR BETTER than the OEM 80Km/h bicicle tyre so yes i do recomend them. I'm a stressed driver so i drive fast all the time. If you drive normally, them it's one of the best tyres you can have. Just expect comfort degradation and shock-Absorver usable-life reduced.
