What is good?
First 10,000 miles on these tires with my Honda Civic, and they're performing great. The wet grip is excellent, much better than my previous Michelin Primacy 3. On dry roads, they handle superbly, and they're very quiet. The only downside is they get a bit noisy at high speeds.
What is good?
The ride is comfortable and quiet, a big improvement over my old tires. Would definitely buy these again
What is good?
Switched to Continental UltraContact UC6 on my Mazda3, replacing the old Dunlop Enasave EC300... and wow, what a difference! These tires grip the road much better in both dry and wet conditions. I can now hit 100 kph without even realizing it. Surprisingly comfortable for a performance tire. They cost a bit more, especially being made locally here in Malaysia, but the handling and comfort make them worth every cent. Haven’t had them long enough to comment on wear, but so far, so good!

Highly recommend for those looking for a balance of handling and comfort.

Using these tires on my VW Golf, and they are fantastic! They grip well in both dry and wet conditions, making my drives smooth and secure. They are a bit pricey, but worth it for the performance. Haven't tested them in the snow yet, but I'm optimistic.
