THIS REVIEW IS FOR THOSE WHO ABUSE THAY TIRES ON DAILY BASIS
-Quick recap:
I drive mostly spirited on countryside beautiful tight technical and open fast roads.Tires are very good just slightly to planted rear (might be due to my current setup not being compatible with this tires as much). Dry/wet grip and handling is good (best in cold wet mornings becaus rear unlocks more so it becomes alot of fun power slideing in a FWD) better grip at -5°c than at +30°c after few hard corners especialy.. best heat resistance tires i had on my car to this day but still not enough for prolonged abuses of canstant hard cornering.
Wear is actualy very good for so much performance thay wear out at about 5.000km front 10.000km rear like any other tire.
-Longer version with better context
So my Alfa Romeo GT Q2 200hp
Is FWD with limited slip diff and passive rear steering, high double wishbone front and multilink rear suspension geometry.
Runing:
Front -1.9 camber, 0 toe
Rear -2.4 camber, slight toe IN
225/40r18x8J
Tire presure 2.4bar
Upgraded 19mm rear ARB
Strut brace on front suspension towers.
H&R springs
This tires are overall jack of all trades good comfort, handling and grip all year round from -10 to +35 °c (basicly under 5°c grip starts slightly droping but after -5°c grip very noticably drops off to the point you lose some confidence) Thay are slightly to prioritizeing to stability but still playful and agile so thay are very comfident at the limit and over the limit as resault, quit composite any any scenario.. i expected nothing but good quality from tham but i was mostly surprised by thair wear.. the wear is identical to any other tire but with noticable better performance so it looks like this are good with abuse and have good and high temperature tresholds but will become spongy after realy hard cornering for few minites.. so wear to preformance ratio is too good to be true i can comfortably make 5.000km on fronts and thay will look like picture below the outside edge has slight tread left (about under 1mm) while inner edge is geting to the rods.. and that wear is very even for such static camber i know double wishbone gains almost twice more dynamic camber compared to MacPhersone in corners so this wear is impresively even also on rears thay wear evenely witch that camber too. The sidewalls are stiff enough to stay stable during hard driveing if you do tight hairpins you will have some flex marks on the sidewalls but im not experiencing such extreme rollover to start geting wear marks on the letters and numbers on the sidewalls. But if you realy provoke it hard thay will roll over. I can create very progresive trailbraking rotation to the point you can feel the rear tire starts deforming and rolls over at peak forces if it doesnt slide into again very comfodent rear yaw... so as i sayed good allrounder for fast daily driver who loves abuse, great feedback, progresive break away especialy rear, front grabs for days into and out of corners car can rotate very well but for me i would love to have it more eazely provoked. Thay are the forst tires that i boight again.
