No complaints, I recommend to buy.

Here, tires are honed to the highest standard for handling (as opposed to comfort). The first thing you notice when you put them on is that they lift the entire fraction off the road, especially at first, pebbles knock on the arches. However, after a few thousand kilometers, this effect fades, which is caused by the softness of the tire (the treadwear index is only 280 or the fact that they were shod in cold weather +6) I can't say, but after a few thousand (or how warmed up the effect became less pronounced). They are also sensitive to the road surface (every joint is felt and there is a rumbling from coarse-grained asphalt, but it relies on pumping - if you literally blow it off by 0.2 atmospheres, it goes away - as an alternative, you can blow off simply the front axle). And that solves half the issue. However, everything is insignificant in comparison to the grip and control that are completely exact and precise. The clutch is designed such that on a 2-liter chip concentrate while starting from a standstill with 2 pedals, there is not even a squeak. The car rulitsya almost standard and subjectively add auto sportiness. Additionally, because I shod them early, the tire slipped only once at the beginning (in snow and rain). On wet pavement, they plainly and predictably slow down while maintaining control. Everything seems to have been planned for this; the steering is so precise that comfort is now secondary; it is not ice to drive on tiles. Would you suggest buying these tires? Certainly, if handling and dynamism with a focus on sports are your top priorities. You won't detect little joints if you use a Bridgestone Turanze T005, in my opinion, if there is no comfort. Due to this tire's flexible sidewall and high profile, it appears as though it is lowered at 2 atmospheres. Since there was only one accident with a curb, I am unable to determine how strong it is, but there was no sign of it. Lowering the tires will solve comfort issues, but there won't be any precise handling. To make it simpler to drive through the joints, you can also just lower the front. You don't even need to pump up the word; tires keep pressure quite well.

Pros
  • Outstanding, nearly standard handling on dry conditions; extremely short braking distances on wet surfaces. Pedal reaction and road feedback. hold the pump perfectly. a rapid beginning in a location.
Cons
  • Comfort (as in the absence of noise and irregularity, such as people throwing rocks into the arches). Tires are sensitive to temperature; at +7 oak, it's one thing; from +20, it's another. Consequently, premature wear can harm the suspension.
