Roadstone CP661 Classe Premiere review
The Roadstone CP661 Classe Premiere is widely regarded as a budget-oriented tire that offers exceptional tread longevity at the expense of wet-weather performance.

Pros
- High durability and slow tread wear

Cons
- Poor grip and handling in wet conditions
- Increased road noise and harsh ride quality

Worth knowing

- Some owners suggested the tire may be better suited for utility vehicles or 'bakkies' rather than passenger cars due to its hardness.
