Comment:
After reading all the reviews I could find on the net and only finding 1 tyre with marginally better reviews (at much higher prices) I thought I would give these a try. We did not have much snow this year, but when we did I had better grip by a LONG WAY than any other vehicle around, including 4x4. I overtook lines of creeping cars with ease and confidence and total control, on even the best "Branded" all season/summer tyres I struggled to get away (435 lb torque) and get up hills before. I am pleasantly suprised by the overall performance (I have only got the back end to break away slightly once, fully controllable, on the exit from a busy road junction in drizzle after a long dry spell. Even the best "Branded" tyres I have had on this car have not performed as well in the wet. I must admit that when temperatures have risen much above 7C that the car feels a little nervous in light rain (mild understeer when pushing on) but again very controllable with never any nasty suprises.
