Excellent

For a peaceful, comfortable journey

Unbelievably easy in all respects. The brakes are amazing, it holds perfectly in corners, and the steering reaction is a 5. And it's like this on any road and surface! I've already hit a few potholes, but as long as you're not trying to be friends with your head, there won't be any hernias, and if you're not speeding into them, everything will be fine!

PLAIN BAD TIRE:
1) soft shoulders - fell off twice while driving over a 45-degree angle asphalt drop. After 6 months of use (one season) all treads developed cracks.
2) noise level - already after 80 km/h, it's quite loud, tread pattern is a large lateral tread blocks. Bought hoping it would help on a dirt road in the rain, though...
3) got stuck on a dirt road

Generally, a good tire, performed well on both dry and wet asphalt. Handling at high speeds. BUT! When exiting the driveway, got stuck on the rear wheel on the edge of the curb. After a few hours, I had to put on a spare tire. Drove about 100 meters, but didn't notice it at first as it was raining heavily, and the rear wheel was damaged. In short, they installed a camera at the tire shop and removed the tire - it was worn

Road - stone ripped the sidewall of the tire (lateral tear + micro-cracks along the cord, had to thoroughly patch at the tire shop) + both leading wheels started to knock (checked on the dynamometer) - had to replace. But the tire itself feels great. Will probably buy it in a set....

In terms of driving qualities - it's quite good, but the sidewalls are really weak, they burst very easily. Plus, I was driving on the highway in the summer, during emergency braking from 150 km/h to 0, both front tires ruptured to the cord, although they didn't deflate at that moment.

Very good tires. A bit hard, so very durable, but also a bit noisy on some roads. Also had Conti T780 winter tires, so actually don't know about snow performance. Great tires BY THE WAY. very quiet!

Very good grip on dry and wet roads, (on wet roads, the car becomes simply a bit more understeer). A bit noisy. At 28,000 km, the front tires seem to be only slightly worn, so I can expect a very good life for them. Don't expect miracles on snow, it's obviously a summer tire, but that's completely normal!

These are the same tyres as fitted to the new Ford Mondeo. They are, without a doubt, well worth the money and better than the P6000s that Ford used. You can chuck it into a corner at any speed and they just grip and grip. My bottle runs out before the tyres give up.
