Comment:
After only 2000km I noticed a bleb (lump) on the sidewall of the nearside front tyre, so basically a brand new tyre had to be binned. Then a few weeks later exactly the same thing happened to the offside front tyre. I have never had this trouble before with any tyres so I would put this down to poor quality tyres.

Comment:
Terrible, the dealer fitted these to the car as a "cost effective" alternative, they were ok in the dry, but as soon as it rained they turned from passable to terrible. They always struggled with grip and the TC was constantly kicking in. DEFINATELY AVOID

Vibration at high speeds,no grip until it get warm,be careful at wet,very high internal noise. But very very cheap and no tyre wear
