Tires have very poor water evacuation, and aquaplaning occurs even at low speed. The sidewalls changed color and turned brown just one month after purchase.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Fitted to a 2020 RAV4 hybrid with aftermarket alloy wheels. They have been a great tire and I have had no issues with traction wet or dry. I live in Auckland, NZ which has mild weather but can be very wet. Also I have had no issues with the occasional gravel road that I drive. They have lasted just over two years and are down to the final 2.5mm of tread. I do roughly 110KM a day, mainly motorway. Fuel economy has not been affected.
These are without a doubt the worst tires I have ever driven on. They came brand new on a used VW UP! That I bought and unfortunately are incredibly poor.
Even in the dry they offer very little grip and often slip on inclines or sharp turns. In the wet it’s even worse, the car feels so unstable and doesn’t feel connected to the road at all. They have also worn very rapidly compared to the Michelin Primacy 4+ on my other car. I cannot recommend these tires ever or at all.
