I got one of these for my E Class Merc , it was a rushed purchase due to needing MOT. I usually put Continentals all over my car. My car is a rear wheel drive car and has a powerful 3.0 engine. In the wet the tire will not maintain grip and it freaks out the cars computer which will flash , low traction warning, then it can place the car in low boost ( limp home mode) until you stop and restart the car. Tires on the rear no longer match and that seems to be very bad, also this tire does not seem to perform well. It seems ok in dry condition's though and cant really complain..

Tires are not to bad when just driving around town but give them a open road and do not expect much Very low on grip in the rain and in the dry there below par on previous tires I've owned around the same price Comfort wise they have quite a soft sidewall so gives more of a smoother ride and noise is also low Have done around 5500miles on the tires and they have not worn much despite being quite a soft tire
