Result: Would you buy again? Probably not
Comment:
A decent all-round tyre in most conditions, but lack of grip at motorway speeds makes them feel unsafe. I had to over inflate by about 5 psi to counter the poor grip in the dry. Performed well in the wet, and they displace standing water without a problem. Car was fitted with 4 new tyres, and they have worn quite quickly compared to Michelin and Barum previously fitted. Will probably go back to fitting Barum, as they are cheaper and give more confidence.
