while driving a
Alfa Romeo 155
(205/50 R15 V) on
a combination of roads
for 5,000
spirited miles
I bought an Alfa 155 1.8 16V with these fitted. Immediately, I found them to be remarkable for being about the worst tire I have experienced. Brands like Fate, Autogrip, Event spring to mind but these are probably worse. Incidentally, the Riken Maystar 2 B2 is exactly the same tire so be aware.
Even the rather worn Nangkang EX500s on the other end were significantly better in every respect. The good points of the Tigars are fairly reasonable ride comfort, not the noisiest and they don't tramline too badly. The only plus point is that because they were always drifting, they only lasted 5000 miles (6 months since fitting).
Minus points are megre grip, abysmal in the wet, lack of adjustment so not controllable, poor feedback so corner speeds were a bit pot luck and traction and braking were predictably rubbish.
I replaced these tires with Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tires which are the anthesis of every Tigar I've ever had the misfortune of trying. These tires are only useful for mobile chicanes or people tired of living.
