Pros
- Low initial purchase price
- Acceptable tread longevity for the price point
Cons
- Extremely poor wet-weather grip and traction
- Significant and intrusive road noise that increases with mileage
- Concerns regarding structural integrity and safety
- Lack of lateral grip and poor performance on highways
Worth knowing
- Performance-oriented vehicles, such as the Mazda RX8 and BMW 118d, show significant instability and loss of traction, suggesting the tire is ill-suited for vehicles with higher torque or handling demands.
- Noise levels are reported to be particularly disruptive at cruising speeds between 50 and 60 mph.
