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.

Pros
- Good dry grip and dependable braking performance
- High level of ride comfort and smooth absorption of road imperfections
- Long-lasting tread life reported by several users on standard hatchbacks and saloons
- Reasonably priced for a premium eco-oriented tire
Cons
- Inconsistent wet weather traction, with multiple users finding wet grip disappointing
- Soft sidewalls that can diminish sharp steering response and cornering precision
- Some complaints regarding high noise levels from specific fitments
- Accelerated tread wear observed by select owners on heavier executive cars
Worth knowing
- Performance-oriented vehicles like the Honda Integra Type R suffered from the soft sidewalls, resulting in an indirect, marshmallow-like steering feel.
- Owners of heavier executive sedans like the Audi A6 reported rapid tread wear, requiring replacements after around 10,000 miles.
