Tires came fitter with the car from the car dealer. Already at that time, I mentioned to the dealer I was quite skeptical with the tire brand, as I had never heard about them and I wanted some "proper" tires. I was able to drive around 30.000 kms with these tires driving with caution, and although they had a reasonable grip in the dry, they are simply TERRIBLE in the wet.... Driving in a country/area where it rains a lot, it's really a NO GO for these tires! No proper grip in the wet, car kept "sliding" when going through a round about if you drove a tad bit faster than the usual "Sunday driver"! Tires always felt quite stiff, quite hard and never felt really confident about them. The only positive thing was the wear rate (after 30.000 kms there was still a lot of tread left) Definitely it's a tire that I will never buy again, therefore I can not really recommend them to anyone, as there are much better alternatives in the market
