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
68/100From 1,120 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and noticeably low road noise
- Great value for money and affordable pricing
- Impression-worthy tread wear longevity and slow wear rate
- Good dry grip and stable straight-line handling for everyday commuting
Cons
- Unpredictable or sub-par wet weather grip, leading to occasional sliding or hydroplaning concerns
- Soft sidewalls that can compromise sharp turn-in response and cause tire flex during hard cornering
- Reduced performance and hardening after extended use (over multiple years)
Worth knowing
- Frequently fitted on small daily drivers, hatchbacks, and classic cars where owners appreciate the refined noise levels and economy.
- Drivers using XL versions on vans or heavier commuter setups note stable load capacity, though softer sidewalls remain a factor during spirited driving.
