What is bad?
Theyre also noisier than my previous tires, which is disappointing

The handling isn’t as good either, and they feel a bit plasticky

Not as satisfied with these as I was with the previous model

Bought these thinking they were made in Korea but got a Chinese version instead. Theyre quiet and soft, which is nice but they balance poorly. Ive had issues with alignment and balancing, making them a bit of a disappointment.
Comments
Not sure if Id go for them again, especially since they weren’t what I expected.

I have been using tires for six months, which gave me the opportunity to test them in various weather conditions. Very good price / quality ratio. For people who do not drive aggressively, I can recommend it with a clear conscience.
