- Drivers of lighter, lower-powered vehicles (e.g., Ford Fiesta) generally report high satisfaction with the tire's performance for standard daily use.
- Performance-oriented drivers in vehicles like the Alfa Giulietta Veloce report significant dissatisfaction, citing poor braking and unpredictable handling limits.
