I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

Tires are honed to a premium level here for handling, rather than comfort, as this aspect of performance is at its maximum degree. When you first put them on, the first thing you notice is that they lift the entire fraction off the road. This is especially noticeable at the beginning, when pebbles will knock on the arches. After a few thousand kilometers, this effect will diminish, which is because of the softness of the tire (the treadwear index is only 280 or the fact that shod them in cold weather +6) I can't say for sure, but after a few thousand (or how warmed up the effect became less pronounced). They are very sensitive to the road surface (every joint is felt, and there is a rumble from coarse-grained asphalt, although it depends on the pumping; if you blow it off literally by 0.2 atmospheres, it goes away; as an option, you can blow it off only the front axle), and they have a limited range of motion. And with that, we've solved half the problem. But when compared to control and grip that are both completely accurate and precise, all else pales in comparison. The clutch is so good that on a two-liter chip focus, when the vehicle is started from a stop with two pedals, there is not even a squeak to be heard. The car's rulitsya practically standard and auto sportiness is added subjectively. Because I shod them so early, the tire barely slipped once at the beginning of the race, despite the fact that it was snowing and raining. On wet pavement, it is very obvious and foreseeable that they will slow down by a margin while still keeping control. For the sake of this, it would appear that everything was created; the control is so precise that comfort has been pushed to the background; driving on tiles is not like driving on ice. Would you suggest purchasing these tires instead of another brand? If handling and dynamism with a focus on sports are the most important aspects for you, then you should absolutely go for it. If there is no comfort, I believe that some kind of Bridgestone Turanze T005 is better suited. With this tire, you will not notice any little joints. Because this tire is soft and has a soft sidewall, the tire appears to have a reduced profile when inflated to two atmospheres while having a high profile. Since there was only one accident with a curb, I am unable to comment on how powerful it is; nonetheless, there was no sign of it thereafter. The tires can be lowered to address the comfort concerns, but this will result in a loss of the vehicle's responsiveness. Alternately, you can choose to merely lower the front of the vehicle in order to make it simpler to navigate between the joints. Tires are very good at maintaining their pressure, so there is no need to pump them up at all.

Pros
  • Excellent, very near to the standard, handling while driving on dry surfaces; very low stopping distances when driving on wet surfaces. The feedback from the road and the responsiveness of the steering. Maintain a steady grip on the pump. A speedy beginning in a particular location.
Cons
  • Relaxation (as the movement of irregularities and acoustic, including the act of tossing stones into the arches). Important: tires are temperature sensitive; while they can be used at temperatures as high as +20, they cannot be used at temperatures below +7. Because of this, wearing them out too quickly can result in damage to the suspension.
