Simply no other rival. My car now feels like it has powers steering.

Grip levels are incredible, tires squeel very comfortably and giving amazing feedback. Stick like glue in dry and wet conditions

Significantly reduced my braking distances and fuel consumption. After buying these for my car (first car) i will, from now on, buy the top of the range tires and these are just that. 10/10 for almost everything and definatly recommeneded
