The tyres have been great, felt a noticeable difference how the car handles, much better and feels a lot safer and may be a placebo effect however the fuel consumption has also improved.

As expected these tyres are handling very well in all weather conditions so far. As i live in a city full of roundabouts the wear and tear is quite harsh on the tyres from constantly going around them but I have tried cheaper alternatives in the past and they just don't cut it for durability. I'll definitely purchase these again especially if they're on offer.

There is a noticeable difference in the loading of the steering especially on cornering and a distinct difference in tyre sound on the road
