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
- Exceptional wet and dry traction with strong anti-aquaplaning capabilities

- Low road noise and very quiet, smooth ride quality
- Predictable handling and progressive limit feedback during cornering
Cons

- Rubber compound can harden over time, leading to reduced performance as the tire ages
- Softer sidewalls can occasionally result in slightly less precise steering feel
Worth knowing
- Drivers of smaller hatchbacks and daily commuters note great daily comfort and confident handling on twisty roads.
- Higher-mileage highway vehicles and heavier sedans experienced mixed results regarding longevity, with some noting rapid wear on rear or high-mileage fitments.
