These tires came with the car when I bought it and they were pretty much new. In the dry these tires were alright, they provided a reasonable level of grip. You could get them to spin a little and squeal when you needed to get going from a junction, but it wasn't too bad at all. The dry stopping distance was okay, but it was a bit below average in this regard and any mid range tire would be much better. The handling in the dry was okay, but it didn't feel too precise or grippy. So overall the dry performance is okay for normal driving, but I'd want something a little grippier for sure.
Now for the wet. The grip is not good at all. The tires would judder at anything but very gentle acceleration, even then they'd struggle for grip. The car felt like it was really lacking grip. If you set off a bit swiftly from a junction the tires would squeal loudly and cause the car to judder hard. The handling was poor, with a lot of understeer and traction loss at modest speeds. The wet stopping distance wasn't great. If you live in the UK like me, wet grip is absolutely a must, we spend the best part of 300 days being rained on!
These tires are very noisy and the fuel economy was noticeably worse with these tires fitted. The general comfort these tires provided was alright, however my Toyo's are much comfier and very quiet! The wear on these wasn't noticeable at the maybe 2.5k I used them for, however I can imagine they'd be relatively average in wear levels.
I decided to sell them and change to some Toyo Proxes CF2s, which were far superior in every regard.
