Imperial All Season Driver Latest Reviews
What is bad?
After about 30k km, two of the tires became oval-shaped, leading to annoying vibrations and noise. This happened despite mostly motorway driving at steady speeds. It's quite frustrating as I expected more durability from these tires. The deformation has really affected my driving experience, and I won't be buying these again. They simply didn’t hold up as I hoped.
What is good?
What is good?
Impressive grip and durability, smooth ride, and good performance in various weather conditions.
Comments
Swapped out my Michelin CrossClimates for these on my Peugeot 306, and after 15,000 miles, Im impressed. The Imperials have proven to be grippy and durable across different conditions. They handle well in both wet and dry weather, and the ride comfort is top-notch. Although the snow performance isn't exceptional, it's adequate for my needs. Considering the price difference, these tires offer great value without sacrificing much in terms of performance. Definitely sticking with these for future replacements.

Comments
I've driven about 1,500 miles. These tires handle well in the rain, offering good grip and control. They are a bit noisier than my previous summer tires, but that's expected with all-season models. The ride comfort is quite good, and they manage city driving conditions smoothly. Although we haven’t had much snow to fully test their winter capabilities, they’ve performed well in heavy rain, providing confidence and stability. Overall, I’m pleased with their performance so far.
