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.

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.
