Comment:
Terrible! Needs high road temperatures to develop grip. Braking is OK, probaly due to the higher tyre temperature. Grip in the wet in the summer not Ok but not really poor, but in the Spring and Autumn very poor. Grip in snow not present. The tyre it self is a very hard compound which gets even harder in winter, no grip at all. Due to the hard compound it's not really comfortable and not very quiet.The only good thing is that theres almoast no wear at all, I drove more than 40 000km before I replaced them and it seemed that they could do 40 000 more, but as said they develop good grip only with high road and air temperatures. Avoid at all costs as well as the successor the XT1.
