Overall good. After the 4th year they degraded heavily however, more noisy and less wet and dry grip.
Age killed them before I could wear them out.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Kia Motors Ceed drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Wet condition are very good, little weaker on breaking, but handling and aquaplaning in wet are fantastic.
Snow performance are excellent too, no significant difference between them and premium winter tires.
Ice is a bit tricky, they are usable but notice special, most midrange winter tires are noticeably better on ice, but in the same time if ice is smooth they are neck to neck with best winter tires (neither of one is really good but manageable, while some winter tires absolutely suck on smooth ice)
Comfort, they nailed it here, a little noisy but ride comfort is excellent especially when consider good response and accuracy on steering along with fact that they absolutely tell you where limit is and still have excellent control after passing that limit (their famous understeering).
Are they sporty, not really they are not made for that purpose.
Wear is excellent after 14k km they lost only ~1mm (±0.1mm),but don't expect them to last this long in summer
The only downside is the little cracks that appeared with time, I've seen the same on a very similar Kormoran tire, it's just the rubber getting old. 100% would buy it again.
It's a great tire if you don't care about comfort and noise.
They've been replaced with Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance2.
I'm using the 91H verison and no the V rated version because I really want the best comfort available, and H speed rating is recommended in this size from KIA.
100% recommended if you want a tire focused on comfort and noise and also performs really well.
