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
71/100From 25 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptionally quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Strong wet and dry traction with reliable handling
- Good balance of everyday comfort and long treadlife
- Improved fuel economy compared to stock tires
Cons
- Soft sidewalls can lead to less responsive or wandering handling during aggressive cornering
- Develops temporary flat spotting when parked, causing morning vibrations
- Poor winter performance, particularly lacking traction on snow and ice despite being an all-season tire
- Durability issues reported by some, including sidewall bulges and premature wear
Worth knowing
- Users driving luxury sedans like the Lexus ES 350 and Lincoln Continental noted specific comfort and refinement benefits, though flat-spotting vibration issues were also highlighted in these vehicles.
