Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

These tires fall in between the HP and UHP classes, making them "sportier" than their primary rivals, such as the Primacy 4/Turanza T005/EfficientGrip Performance 2, however this comes at the expense of reduced comfort and mileage, as well as an increase in fuel consumption. Because of this, if you prefer to ride quickly and relatively aggressively but do not want to fully enter the sports rubber section, leaving moderate comfort for every day riding, then this is an ideal choice for you. If you favor convenience and don't put a lot of miles on your vehicle, you might consider shopping around for a more affordable alternative.

Pros

1. Excellent handling, including the ability to pull through tight corners; 2. Short braking distance, both on dry land and in the rain; 3. Predictable and understood behavior in any and all weather situations; 4. Price. In 2022, they were the most affordable (4200 for a 205/55 R16 wheel), coming in lower in price than T005 and being significantly less expensive than EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Primacy 4. However, in 2022, it appears that the situation has shifted, and Goodyear is now the most affordable option.

Cons

1. It wears out quickly; I'm afraid that after 20-25 runs, it will already have thousands of wear markers; 2. It's loud, and all of the big competitors are quieter; 3. It's harsh, but this is the price you have to pay for your dignity.
