Tire were used on a 470 HP RWD 1.7 t car. For the money, this is a very good budget tire for spirited driving and even occasional track use. The tire offers decent grip, a stiff sidewall, and responsive handling that gives you confidence when pushing the car on twisty roads or during a track day.
What impressed me the most was its durability. Compared to some other performance-oriented tires, the tread lasted quite a long time, which makes it an attractive option if you're looking for a balance between performance and running costs. Wet weather performance was also perfectly acceptable. I never experienced any unpleasant surprises and always felt comfortable driving in the rain.
However, once the tire reached around 60-50% tread depth, its characteristics changed noticeably. Dry grip dropped significantly, and the tire no longer delivered the same confidence and performance it had when new. This was especially noticeable during more aggressive driving, where the reduced grip became quite apparent. For my application I did not mind as first half of the tire I used for track days and fast road driving and second half was used for doing skids and enjoying RWD car as you should :D
Noise levels were never an issue and remained low throughout its lifespan.
Overall, I would recommend this tire to anyone looking for a budget-friendly performance tire that can handle spirited road driving and the occasional track day. Just be aware that its dry performance deteriorates quite a bit once the tread wears down to around half of its original depth.
