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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 11 owner reviews found online.

Pros

Long-lasting tread life and slow wear rate over thousands of miles
Good value for money
Quiet operation and low noise levels
Predictable and progressive handling limits

Cons

Subpar wet-weather grip and a tendency to slip in heavy rain
Prone to wheel spin during hard acceleration in dry conditions for some vehicles
Mediocre performance on loose surfaces

Worth knowing

Users driving moderately powered hatchbacks like the Honda Civic reported traction loss and wheel spin under spirited acceleration.
Owners of compact diesel hatchbacks, such as the Peugeot 306 HDi, experienced improved braking, lower cabin noise, and impressive longevity exceeding 20,000 miles.
