Dry grip is good, but not good on wet especially Hong Kong. we have to replace it around every 24000KM.

Apart from the tires being difficult to balance well and needing a good bit more weights added on the wheels that the string of Bridgestones (B530,So2,RE-050 & RE-050A) never needed or had problems with, and they had more road noise, they provided a good bit more grip and for spirited driving & the car was nicer to drive with an absence of tire squeal when cornering. Would buy again if the quality control could be improved re. balancing issues.

Had these fitted as a mid-ranged (price-wise) performance tire. The tires gave very good to excellent grip on most road surfaces in most conditions even when the car was being driven hard. Versus the OEM Michelin Pilot tires there was a slight decrease in road noise, improved handling, gip and feedback. The only downside was wear out more rapidly than the OEM tires (and also versus other performace tires which I have used on other cars) However as they cost me significantly less than the Pirelli P-Zero/Goodyear Eagle F-1/Bridgestone Potenzas that I also been considering it was a reasonable trade-off.
