This was the worst tires I ever purchase. Word of warning NEVER EVER buy this model of tires, if you value your life or your family, never purchase this tires. Since my car was turbo R34 GTT skyline, rear wheel drive. This tires make the car more dangerously to drive. Since I got this, the tires was so slipper even in dry road make the car traction control system goes crazy. Can you imagine what it would be like in wet condition. I guess what you pay is what you get.

If anyone think about purchasing this tires all I can say is please think again, you been warned.

My size is 235/45/17. Car weight: 1650kg. Rear wheel drive. Very good value for money tire. Lasted 65000 KM. Still not reached the TWI. The inside of the tires were wearing more due to my car's setup, so I had to replace them. During the last 10000km, the tires became slippery in the wet.
