    Comment:
    The garage fitted a new set of these when I bought the car. The first few thousand miles seemed OK with good grip and cornering ability. As they have got older they have got not only worse but dangerous. Noise level increased and I found them very figity. Even in a four wheel drive car they will totally let go in the ice or snow. They almost pitched me off the road twice this winter (at very low speeds). I found them a poor choice as an allround tyre in the UK.

    Comment:
    Tyres are dual compound and the outer 1.5mm is very very soft and grippy, this scrubs off in about a month and you have to live with the hard as toffee rubber below for the rest of the tyres life. a complete cheat, I swapped for Pirelli P Zero 1000% better, Toyo proxies were another popular swap
