Pros
- Acceptable performance on dry road surfaces
- High tread longevity and durability
Cons
- Extremely poor traction in wet, damp, or muddy conditions
- High risk of hydroplaning in shallow standing water
- Dangerous handling characteristics in light snow
- Lack of driver confidence due to unpredictable grip levels
Worth knowing
- Drivers of mid-sized sedans like the Ford Mondeo reported significant wheel spin in lower gears, indicating poor torque management on wet surfaces.
- Users in high-precipitation climates, such as Vancouver, noted that the tire's wet-weather failures outweigh its long-wearing tread benefits.
