Pros
- Highly competitive price point
- Satisfactory dry road handling for casual driving
- Acceptable performance for light-duty, paved road use
Cons
- Significant lack of confidence in wet-weather traction
- Inconsistent tread life with reports of rapid wear
- Perceived lack of grip during cornering and acceleration
