What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
76/100From 66 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptional value for money compared to premium brands
- High tread longevity and durability
- Reliable wet and dry grip for daily driving
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
Cons
- Occasional reports of difficulty with wheel balancing
- Soft sidewalls can lead to a less responsive or 'flabby' steering feel
- Some users report increased road noise in specific sizes or batches
- Performance can drop off in extreme, high-performance driving scenarios
Worth knowing
- Users with high-torque, front-wheel-drive hatchbacks noted that the tire manages power delivery well but can feel soft during aggressive cornering.
- Owners of heavier, rear-wheel-drive sedans (such as BMW 5-series and Jaguar XF) frequently praised the tire's ability to handle high mileage without significant tread loss.
- Drivers using low-profile sizes occasionally reported a firmer ride and increased noise, though this is often attributed to the vehicle's suspension setup.
