Volkswagen Polo 6R 1.6 Tdi Bluemotion Tires

Initial thought on these on my little eco box Polo 6R. Wanted something good in the wet and never owned Vredstein so gave it a go.
Quiet and comfy overall, grippy in the dry. In wet haven't had the change to test much but seems stable and grippy.
They look deflated even in XL in my dimension so I inflated do +0.2 bar.
Not impressed nor disappointed for now.
But surely better that anything most people are buying these days - the brands I've never heard of in my life :/
I actually replaced these from Kenda (China) that came with the car.
Even though new I'm not driving a tire that says made in china - even though only 1 year old and looks new - they span me out in the wet couple of times that I was shocked and instantly took them off for a EU known brand in the mid range like Vredstein.

Been fitted on my Polo for more than a year now. The grip on dry road is exceptional, way more than I was used to with my old Goodyear efficient grip perf. even when these were new. The car is planted and stable at cornering and aggressive inputs to the steering wheel. Dry braking is also very good. I've pushed these tires hard on twisty mountain roads and I can tell you these are very good performers.

In the rain they perform well and with no surprise. No aquaplanning noted but always driving safely when wet.

Wear seems a bit much, they appear to be at 75% life remaining after one year and 15000Km. This was to be expected from the good dry grip. You lose some you win some.

I'd buy again for the price and performance but I hope the new pattern will be available on my size when I change these.
