Initial Impressions

Installed these tires on my 2002 Nissan Micra K11 to replace old worn ones.

They mounted balanced pretty easily.
First impressions on city roads, slightly damp : holy Jesus these are bad. I spun the rear of my car at 25-30kmh in a wide roundabout.

Blamed it on them needing broken in, but I've driven 1000km with them and I can say with confidence they're the worst tires I've ever driven on.

To be fair, dry weather they're OK, grip enough to be safe but don't think about going faster than the speed limit.

Wet weather they're worse than 15yr old dry rotted Hankook all seasons I had before. Braking distances horrible, almost like driving on ice, and I can spin the wheels in second with a 60hp grandma mobile.

Definitely never buy these.

Initial Impressions

A vizes úttal vannak gondjaim, fékezésnél azonnal csúszik persze útburkolat függő is. Négyévszakos, 4 éves gumi, de le kell cserélnem mert nem tartom biztonságosnak. Az autó is könnyű a tapadáson nem segít. Már két éves korában is ez volt vele a probléma csak akkor nagyon ritkán mentem vele mert az Apámé volt a kocsi.

Decent tires, but watch out for road holding in the rain. Braking is not optimal, even in dry weather
