Comment:
these tyres took a while to bed in ( around 4-500 miles ) and seemed ok. without any agressive driving, they wear very quickly in my opinion, having to swap front to back after only 6000 miles ( fronts down to 3mm. ) like some tyres, if the car is stood for a few days, they seem to loose shape/ balance. road noise is terrible. dry grip is good but gives before any serious limit, wet grip is ok but had some scary moments. these may be ok for a medium car/saloon but on a convertible with an already "live" chassis, i would NOT recommend them. 8/10 to sumo for trying 5/10 for performance 7/10 for value for money.
