Do not buy! After only two seasons on these tires, I will throw them out and replace them with something better. Dangerously low wet grip which lead to me almost losing control of the car in a simple corner, understeers super easily. Unbearable road noise. Vehicle inspection (TÜV) said they wouldn't have given my car a pass with these on at the next inspection.
