Like what the other reviewers said, please don't buy these crap tires if you value your life. After having almost lost my life in a skid on wet road, and the tires could't even grip a carpark hump .. I decided enough is enough. One of the worst tires I ever used, and it was installed as stock tires by dealership.

Came fitted with my new car. Start getting noisy at 25000km. Very poor in wet. It slipped often when going up steep slope from standstill.

I'm running these on a 2015 Lexus RX450H and crikey, these are dangerous in the wet. I would expect this from a cheap budget tire but not from these. These are vague at the best of times and after 7k they are also perishing and wearing unevenly. I have had the tracking done a couple of times so I know its not that. they are coming off asap. I'm not a fan of putting myself at risk so please, before you consider these, give them a wide berth.

Although it is said to have "improved wet grip", in practice it is not really the case.
I have skidded a few times in the wet at low speed!

The tires came as OEM on my Chevy Captiva. Contrary to other driver's reports, I have not experienced any problems when driving in the wet but I tend to be extremely careful when driving in the rain. However, after 30,000Km, I am having to replace all 4 tires. I failed to rotate the tires and the wear on the front tires is excessive. One rear tire got a puncture (nail) and the repair leaks (not a tire fault) and one of the front tires got a deep sidewall gouge which looks potentially dangerous. Therefore, of the 4 OEM tires, only 1 rear tire is acceptably driveable.

We had the SP sport 270 on our Captiva as we bought is brand new. After 27000k the first Front tire is down to the limit. Absolute redikulous! Do not buy this tire!!

Bad tire! Driving in wet condition can be very dangerous! I have to switch to Eco mode in order to stop excessive wheel spin/ understeer! Just to save my life and other driver...

I've driven around 8000 miles on these tires and the wear is rediculous. Performace reasonable, but I won't be buying these again due to the excessive wear.

I too drive a Lexus RX450H (F sport). The wear on these tires (came fitted on new car) is appalling. They are ok in the dry, but not solid in the wet. I would rather have had Bridgestone or Yokohama.
