Great tyre, good in all conditions including heavy rain, cold, also summer conditions. Very good grip, good fuel economy and reasonable tyre wear. Survived a track day without visible wear. This tyre does it all. 235/35 19’s.

Comment:
I bought these for my car to replace the Goodyear Assymetric 2 runflats which were fitted when I bought it. Fitting these tyres has improved the ride quality dramatically as run flat tyres are very hard. However in terms of wet grip these are a step backwards compared to the Goodyears. They are predictable and safe, but they lack traction when pulling away in damp conditions and the car just doesn't bite the road on wet corners like it did with the Goodyears. In terms of dry grip, comfort and wear they seem good so far but as they are not much cheaper than the Goodyear Assymetric 5's I would probably buy those instead next time. Overall a good but not exceptional tyre which has left me slightly dissapointed.
