Pros
- Affordable price point
- Acceptable dry road handling
- Satisfactory performance when new
Cons
- Significant loss of wet grip over time
- Poor performance in snow and ice
- Rapid degradation of safety characteristics after the second year
Worth knowing
- Users operating heavier vehicles, such as the Fiat Scudo, noted that the tire's performance limitations become more pronounced as the tread ages.
- The 215/60-R16 XL specification showed initial promise but failed to maintain safety standards in winter conditions as the tire reached its third year.
