    Got sold these tires as a cheap alternative to big branded tires. They were decent for the 1st year, lacking a bit though. After 10k miles they went to shit and the handling was incredibly poor. I started losing traction on corners I had previously never had an issue with. These tires are cheap for a reason, they do the job for cheap but if you do a lot of driving I would never suggest them. If you drive to the shops round the corner they're cheap and fine.

    I put a pair of these on the front of my wife's 2018 Audi A1 TDI after the Bridgestones were looking tired @17k miles. I was dubious about using mid range tires for the first time ever but the Continental ownership of General reassured me. The tires are rated B/C in respect of wet weather and rolling resistance.
    Having now scrubbed in for a thousand miles the tires are very impressive, it's a nippy little car with bags of torque for such a low kerb weight but the front grips well in the wet and seems to pull up well under moderate braking. So far, so good, it's difficult to comment on the wear rate but @ £75 per they're looking good.

    Very comfortable drive, great handling and much improved breaking.

    There are a step up from the Altimax sport at the same price point. Great value for money.
