Very happy. The previous set lasted over 30,000 miles, and I only changed them as a precaution because it was winter time. My car is a 1.5 Nissan Note diesel. The tyres are quiet and ‘comfortable’ to ride on. I feel confident with the tyres on wet roads and generally happy with the good grip. I will be replacing the rear tyres soon, and they have lasted over 37,000 trouble free miles. I will use the same brand and type. Very happy with y choice

Purchased these tyres as recommended for EV cars, since being install the tyres do not get traction. They wheel spin when pulling of, when driving the skid round corners and have no grip. And the worst is when driving and speeding up the traction control has to kick in. These tyres are not suitable for my EV, and just to add to the poor grip and performance I got a puncture from a 5mm piece of flint and the tyres haven't even done 700 miles.
