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 30 owner reviews found online.

Pros

Excellent dry and wet grip, often inspiring confidence in wet conditions
High value for money and lower price point compared to premium alternatives
Strong steering response and exceptional road feedback/feel
Good longevity and wear resistance for an ultra-high-performance tire
Aggressive, visually appealing tread pattern

Cons

Soft sidewalls reported by several users, which can affect heavier vehicles or require higher PSI
Increased road noise and harsh ride quality noted by some drivers
Can feel slightly 'greasy' or lose peak performance during prolonged hard driving
Polarizing wet performance compared directly against top-tier options like the Michelin Pilot Sport series

Worth knowing

Heavier vehicles like the BMW 5-Series require higher tire pressure settings to adequately support their weight due to the tire's softer sidewalls.
Well-suited for lightweight hatchbacks and sports cars (e.g., Honda Integra, Mazda MX-5), providing sharp turn-in and predictable handling in twisty sections.
