Driving on
a combination of roads for 5000
spirited miles
This is an updated review after 5000 miles. I have the 6Q variant of this tire fitted to my car. After 5000 miles, the tire is still very comfortable and quiet. Dry grip is quite good, and dry handling is okay. Not great but adequate for daily driving. Wet grip, on the other hand, is horrendous. I encountered aquaplaning quite a lot in the rain, so I had to slow down quite a bit. Driving 60 mph in the wet feels really unsafe and jittery, and that’s in the straight. Wet braking is terrible. ABS kicked in a lot even at relatively low speed. For that reason, I will not be buying this tire again. I would gladly sacrifice a bit of comfort for safety. If you live in the area that rains a lot, avoid this tire.
