Pros
- Low initial purchase price (often cited as the primary reason for their presence on used vehicles)
Cons
- Extremely poor wet weather traction, frequently described as feeling like driving on ice
- Severe lack of stability and sidewall support, leading to vague handling and swaying
- Reported structural integrity issues, including sidewall delamination
- Unpredictable loss of grip during moderate acceleration and cornering
Worth knowing
- Users driving performance-oriented vehicles like the MG ZT 190, ZS180, and Nissan 350z reported that the tire's lack of grip makes the vehicles feel unsafe and unstable.
- Drivers noted that the tire's poor performance is particularly evident at motorway speeds and during routine cornering maneuvers.
