I bought the tyres as a stopgap. This vehicle is used exclusively in summer and, over winter, is parked on old winter wheels to prevent flat spots. As the new car I ordered still cannot be delivered, the Saab has to step in. The tyres make a good impression and have now also proven, in wintry conditions, that they really can cope with the demands as all-season tyres. They also run very smoothly and comfortably. On dry roads, you always feel safe as well. Of course, there is no experience of using them in summer temperatures, and there certainly won’t be any, as the summer wheels will be fitted again then. Conclusion: For the price, and as all-season tyres, an unexpectedly good overall impression.

The tyres meet my needs. Very good value for money.

For low-priced tyres, they do the job.

Ideally, assess reliability after 3 months or more.

Perfect, I will definitely buy.

This tyre was pretty much the cheapest all-season tyre I chose, as now that I’m retired I do significantly fewer miles per year than I used to and mainly drive locally. My vehicle isn’t particularly heavy and has 75 hp, which is sufficient, so I don’t need sport-oriented tyres. My experience with the tyres so far—only in late autumn and winter—now spans just over two months. Conclusion: wet grip is good, as is grip on cold, dry roads. Cornering stability likewise. Thanks to an emergency stop on a wet road, I now know that the braking distance is absolutely within acceptable limits. Road noise is basically negligible, and fuel consumption is no higher than with my old Goodyear summer tyres. I can’t yet judge durability or summer performance, but I’m curious. The only thing I’ve noticed is the relatively shallow tread depth in the centre of the tyre compared with the tread depth at the sides, but that doesn’t really bother me at the moment; of course, I’m curious how many miles this tyre will last. All in all, in my opinion the tyre is worth the money.

Very good all-season tyres, reasonable price, no issues so far.

Excellent tyres, pleasantly quiet. It takes a very short time to get used to the lighter steering, but the road holding and traction are genuinely good. This seems like very good value for money. As for wear resistance, I can’t say anything yet.

Flawless! I’m very satisfied with the tyres. Quiet, with very good road grip. After the change, the average fuel consumption dropped from 6.2 to 5.8. I got very good tyres at a very good price, I can confidently recommend them to everyone! I can’t comment on the lifespan yet, as I’ve only just started using them.

The tyres are fairly okay and an alternative. What’s annoying about them is the road noise at around 100 km/h.
