Comment:
Average to good grip in the dry, although i cannot understand why these are getting a good review for wet weather grip, theyre absolutely rubbish. Not quite Budget tyre levels of uselessness but theyre quite happy to break away in the wet with NO warning. Aquaplaning resistence isnt great which is odd considering the design of the tread. they offer very little feedback in the dry and none in the wet. If you plan on driving enthusiastically with these in the rain then i suggest you fit a roll cage first. The only plus points i can think of are the fairly good wear rate and that theyre cheap. Also 1 of the tyres i had was completely out of shape and couldnt be balanced properly. My advice is spend a few more pounds and live a lot longer.
