The tires hardened within two years. When I brake at low speeds, the ABS engages immediately and I can't stop. Because of this, I've had two minor accidents. I can feel everything on the road. They've become incredibly hard. I reduced the tire pressure to 22 bar, but it's still very uncomfortable.

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 Opel Astra J Sports Tourer drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I bought these tires in 2019 two and I am very happy with them now I will buy them again also 2 all recommendations
Satisfied with the performance. Not sure how many miles it did, surely more than 40k, first in the rear, after in front.
Never felt the car slip in dry or wet, even if pushing a bit. not much.
Strong points i would say price, performance both in wet and dry, and wear.
Not so much in confort, felt a little bit hard on the road.
Satisfied with the buy.
Chose these after reading a lot of reviews, and taking into consideration that my local tire shop had a good enough price for a set of 4. Initially they were rather hard, every pothole and crack could be felt. Turns out it was the shop who overinflated them to an absurd amount, so after correction: these are quiet and iron out bumps nicely. Drove them for about 2400 miles since, no noticeable wear. The Astra J is NOT a lightweight car, being a diesel adds additional weight to the front, that said these are more than capable of dealing with the torque produced, which cannot be said for the Firestones they replaced. With those, constant ESC was the name of the game whenever a few drops of rain hit the road. Overall, am very happy with them, and will fit a new set once the current ones have run their course.
This is my second review on these tires. Although it is most important how well do they handle snow (and they are not so bad on snow) the wear is terrible. Huge chunks are falling off after just two winters. Mileage I did was low. As long as they are turning you feel secure on snow, but as soon as you lock them (even when you actually completely stopped on a incline!), they slide out of control. Twice there was real drama as they couldn't cope with small incline.
Mine were made in Russia. Took them back to seller, hoping that warranty covers excessive rubber tear.

A pleasant surprise these pnues, both dry and wet. Nice bearing. Would buy again, no doubt. Highly recommend.
My driving is mostly in town and my style now having 2 kids in the car is very slow. The speed's i've testet the tires are maximum 80miles and at these speeds the tires want give you any trouble on dry or wet...
If you are looking for a cheep tire to do your job i believe is one of the best choises you'll make.
The only noticable bad characteristic is the very, very, very soft sides that want let you make quick changes on lanes. It's realy bad when you have to avoide something on the road and you don't feel comfort to do it.. You need to be very carefull!!!

Much better than the Michelin Primacy3 and the GoodYear Efficient grip Performance. Feeling of driving and exemplary duration.
good tire...Replaced the original bridgestone potenza(after 46000 miles)low noise and very confortable
good reaction but you can feel the side wall rolling when you go hard in the corners (because of high side wall)
reccomended

Cheaper alternative to premium brands that actually work very well. We had lots of snow here (15 cm or 6 inches) and temperatures up to -11 celsius and tires did quite good job. Breaking on snow is very good. Cornering with great confidence. Extremely quiet and comfortable tire. Only downside is little spin almost everytime when starting from standing, even on gently/moderate acceleration. Cannot comment on wear, since i did only 1.000 km.
