About 30,000km driven on a heavy FWD-biased AWD Hot Hatchback, these were great when new (see initial review) but have lost their touch when worn. This is fine and to be expected, but they are almost at the wear indicators after 30,000km. Granted, this is with plenty of spirited mountain driving thrown into the mix, as well as a gravel autocross for good measure.
Not really any noisier than new, but this may be due to the extra sound insulation in my car. Dry grip limits are quite good still even when worn, and the tire will let you know audibly before you break traction; However, wet traction has suffered quite a bit, I'm able to get heavy wheelspin in an AWD launch in the wet, whereas they had no problem before.
Overall, a decent buy and great in the wet when new but wish they lasted a bit longer (being touring oriented tires) and wet performance falling off strongly when worn. Will probably move to something more performance oriented now.
