The tyres are excellent - quiet and the wet grip is very reassuring. They also provide a good level of grip on muddy roads as we live in a rural area.

The new tyres are great, I drive 14 miles a day down wet country lanes and they have been superb in the wet as many time I have to stop quick when someone comes the other way. They are quiet too.
