What is good?
I'm the experienced driver and have had a lot of brand tyres but these are the best! They provide great winter grip and do great work in the other conditions and areas. I'm extemely happy with them and especially with the price.
What is good?
Comfortable ride.
What is bad?
Comments
Bought these tires about two years ago. The ride was comfortable but a little soft in the corners. I was very pleased, but now they are worn out after only 22,000 km. Good performance but the tires aren't durable. I wouldn't recommend.
