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
42/100From 24 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Excellent fuel economy and low rolling resistance
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality when new
- Predictable dry and wet traction for conservative daily commuting
- Good initial value and OE fitment integration
Cons
- Significantly shorter tread life than advertised or expected
- Develops loud whining, buzzing, and increased noise as the tread wears down
- Stiff ride quality or harshness over rough pavement and cracks
- Low limits for handling and grip during spirited or aggressive driving
Worth knowing
- Owners of hybrids and high-efficiency vehicles (like the Toyota Prius and VW Jetta) heavily appreciate the fuel economy benefits.
- SUV and crossover owners (such as the Mazda CX-9 and Ford Escape) note that the tires reach their performance limits quickly and suffer from premature wear under heavier vehicles.
