I had this model of tire under a 2004 Fiat Panda MJT; these tires, in the 155/80/14 size, were great: lasted 54000km, very quite and amazing on a wet road even in the emergency braking. I never ever found another tire that communicates a safety feeling like those tires.
All these benefits have a cost. The Price.

Original tires on a Vauxhall Corsa and finally after 9 1/2 years later they need changing due to cracks on the outer walls but the tread is still fine after 36,500 miles.

Also noticed around 34,000 miles that the rubber started to crack around the tread which made it noisy at speeds of 70 plus.

Amazing tire but now purchased Continental Premium contact 5's. Lets hope these are as amazing as the Eco EP's

+ Very economical for gas consumption, no punctures, very good grip in the dry. After 8 years and 28k miles they started to develop small surface cracks, the rubber being old and exposed to the sun every day, but the creases are still adequate in depth
- Iffy handling on snow, little road feedback
