Replaced the rock hard Bridgestone Dueler OEM tires with these. Much softer ride which is what I was looking for, nice a pleasant on smooth roads but harsh over uneven and bumpy roads.

Wearing pretty fast and overall a very average tire.

Replaced factory fit Kumho's. Firmer ride, but much improved handling, especially in dry conditions. Great value for money. Coped with long motorway trips well during hot weather, bit firm for poor urban surfaces where there are potholes and speed bumps. So, far after 5,000 miles wear has been acceptable. Needed about 1,000 miles to soften as very firm ride at first. Recommended.
