for 15,000
average miles
Driven 25000km's (15.000miles) on these tires so far and the first thing you notice is how good the tire is on wear. They still have more than half of the thread left on all 4 tires.
They're pretty good in the rain, car feels stable but with standing water, it feels a bit like the car is floating.
Dry grip isn't bad, long corners are no problem for these, but under rapid and continuous direction changes, the tires start to show their limit. But this isn't a sports tire anyway..
A major downside for me is noise. At halfway through their life there is a very consistent noise (that might also be because the car is very silent). Almost as loud as the Bridgestone winter tires.
I'm probably gonna switch to Yokohama Bluearth ES32 when these are worn, but i do recommend the E51 for drivers that seek comfort and longlivety from their tires.
