Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

These tires are somewhere between the HP and UHP classes, so they are "sportier" than the main competitors like the Primacy 4/Turanza T005/EfficientGrip Performance 2, but this also entails disadvantages in the form of less comfort, mileage and higher fuel consumption. Therefore, if you like to ride fast and moderately aggressive, but do not want to completely go into the sports rubber segment, leaving moderate comfort for every day, then this is an excellent choice. If you gravitate towards comfort / do not drive fast, then you would look at competitors if they are cheaper.

Pros

1. Excellent handling - and pulls to write turns; 2. Short braking distance - both on dry land and in the rain; 3. Predictable and understandable behavior in all weather conditions; 4. Price. In 2022, they were the cheapest (4200 for a 205/55 R16 wheel) - cheaper than T005 and much cheaper than EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Primacy 4, but in 2022, it seems that the disposition has changed, and Goodyear is now the cheapest.

Cons

1. It ends quickly - I'm afraid that it will reach thousands of wear markers by 20-25 runs; 2. Noisy, all major competitors are quieter; 3. Harsh, but this is a retribution for dignity.
