Comment:
Cheapest tires available in Germany at EUR47+montage. Was very curious, so far no problem on dry surface 230km/h. Feel some vibration when driving past 190km/h not felt with Bridgestone ER300 94W. Feel a bit stiffer and less smooth - Bridgestone felt 100% safe at 230km in Autobahn sharp bends, feels a bit less so with Sunny - but maybe just imagination. Tested on snowy road (no visible asphalt), fresh snow without ice - and amazingly car seemed to have no problems at 90km/h. However on pure ice/hardpacked snow, uphill traction is lost - while downhill driving/breaking works. Drove 300km under black ice conditions with rain freezing to ice 130km/h without any problems - amazingly good summer tires...in winter. Sharp bends, like roundabounds, drive slow when wet or slide (same as with Bridgestone).
