Tires feel fine on dry roads but on wet roads they fall off. Snow grip is good, ice grip is non-existent. Tires wear pretty evenly and probably have another 20-25 thousand miles on the road. Tires are noisy, especially in the wet. Bumpy roads are a nightmare. Would not recommend as you can get something much better for a few more bucks.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
It's nice product and affordable and pocket friendly and also worth every penny you spent.
Have a pair on front of my Alfa 145 1.8 tspark, which were fitted when bought car. Have to admit been pleasantly surprised, as they give good dry and very acceptable wet grip with good feedback and so had no moments, even though i push car somewhat at times in wet and dry!! Can't comment on life as not done enough miles but seem ok so far, therefore recommended as a good budget tire!
For the money, not bad at all. Were fitted when bought car but been through some serious rain downpours pressing on and never felt there were any grip issues. Compare very favorably with more expensive makes i've tried and therefore can be recommended. Not sure of wear rate, as not done loads of miles yet but looking good so far! Also seem quite quiet so far for low pro tire.
Seems to be a fairly good budget tire, I only have one fitted, but it's on the front driver's side. Been using it for a year and a half, 10000 miles, and it seems fine. Havent noticed anything bad, it seems to be wearing quite well and the compound doesnt seem too hard.
avon azzaro, slow to warm up, low traction under load.
ok, if your a slow rider.
