I’ve used these tyres in most driving conditions and found they handle well. I like to feel safe and know I will stop in a hurry if need be, these tyres have proven they are quality.

So these are standard on my car. But at 30,000km I just replaced the fronts with the same tyres. The rears are still more than fine. Under normal conditions these tyres will last past 30k but I'm an ex-karter so like roundabouts too much. When the tread is good, these things are VERY VERY grippy. Give excellent handling in the dry, and with controlled acceleration they're good in the wet also. Road noise is minimal. The ride IS a little on the rough side but I drive my Giulietta QV in Dynamic mode almost all the  time so everything is in sports mode usually giving a stiffer ride anyway. I can pick these up far cheaper than Pirellis
