Very good tires for the price, I road about 25.000 miles and they are in a good shape. Could be better in wet, very good in dry. I live in Brazil, so, the tires must me very strong because we have roads in bad conditions and so far, this tires have no demage.

I have had these for 4 years now, but had to replace the front tires last year, so now replacing the rear tires (that went to the front). I've done about 30000 miles on those, so not too bad. They handle well in wet condition, not so much in icy conditions (I usually have winter tires for winter). Would probably buy them again, as they are pretty good tires.
