The tires came with the car out of the factory and let me start with saying that they are OK, especially at the price point. I have driven better tires, however.
Dry grip is adequate, however, the rubber compound is extremely soft, for a summer performance tire and they squirm a bit under hard cornering. On the other hand the carcass is rather stiff on W speed rated tires and it rides badly. Comfort is pretty mediocre, both ride quality and tire noise are, well, bad.
Wet performance seems to be better than dry - I guess the soft compound is better in the wet when temperatures are lower, which again is strange for a summer performance tire.
Tire wear seems to be normal so far - about 1 mm of wear in 12 000 km, which is about what I get with most tires.
Overall the tire is decent for how cheap it is and it's certainly far better than some chinese ditch finder, but don't expect best in class performance for 1/3 of the price.
