Comment:
These tyres have lasted a long time in a heavy nosed, torquey FWD Diesel with 175BHP and 300lbs of torque. They get spun quite often and driven hard yet keep on going - with rotation they will have lasted 20000 miles a set. Shame theyre so dire in the wet - terrible understeer and a twitchy rear end, not good. Theyre actually OK in the dry - they dont emit any squeal when theyre on the edge however, they will break grip very quickly without warning. Road noise is also quite bad. The tyre walls are strong so the wear stays very even which is good for a heavy car, not very comfy though! Generally a bad tyre but if your on a budget, want one that 'looks sporty' and its always dry, it might be for you... If you value your car and potentially your life, dont skimp on tyres and get some T1-R's or GSD3's!!
