Compared to other tires I have ever used: These are absolute carbage. No wet grip at all. Useless tires.

I purchased Antares ingens A1 last spring and really surprised how well they work. Solid in wet & dry conditions and been wearing very well. Should easily get 60k KM out of them. Pretty pleased for the amount of money I spent. Beats paying twice that for premium brands.

These tires are for dry tarmac roads. That's all you need to know. Ok, they are noisy, road feedback and wet grip are practically nonexistent, and their quality-price ratio is poor. Never again. The worst set of tires I've ever had - and I've driven over one million kilometers during 35 years.

I really can't explain why anyone would leave bad feedback for these tires. We paid $350 tax included + install for four of the 205/55/16 for our Corolla and were blown away by the value. After 35KM the tires barely looked like they were worn. They worked great on dry or wet roads, but took them off before the snow came so can't comment on that.
