Comment:
Sidewalls are very soft. This makes the car feel like it is breaking away on cornering. Great grip below about 10C, but still give decent grip above 15C. Tyre wear seems good so far, still plenty of tread left after driving all winding country lanes Previously had Vredestein Snowtracks on the car, and they were excellent all year round

Comment:
Exceptionally quite, soft ride - reckoning on leaving them on all year as reviews suggest that it could be used as an 'all seasons' tyre without excessive wear. Shame there was no snow to test tyres to the full.

A mild winter, so I was unable to test how they perform in snow.
