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

Pros
- Effective hydroplaning resistance in heavy rain
- Adequate dry grip for standard daily driving
- Reliable performance for basic commuting needs
Cons
- Poor traction during low-speed acceleration leading to wheel spin
- Premature tread wear and sidewall perishing
- Inconsistent wet weather performance causing safety concerns
- High rolling resistance despite being marketed as a fuel-saver
Worth knowing
- Owners of smaller, low-horsepower vehicles like the Fiat Punto and Ford Fiesta reported frequent traction loss during standing starts.
- Long-term users noted that while tread depth may remain, sidewall integrity can fail after several years of use.
