Ideal for driving in urban environments, but not ideal for driving in rural environments and down country roads. These tyres have a marginally slight improvement in grip for driving through water covered roads and surfaces than the Continentals, yet are difficult to balance and feel wobbly over 55 mph. My wife only drove in the city with them, and for long drives we used my Subaru Legacy Spec B with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Now, we have changed her car to a new Fiat 500x, which is her own choice. Since the tread was almost gone, we decided to put on budget tyres, and since the car had to last a few months, we decided not to go for a long term option. Considering that, they are perfect for the city driving that is all you need and they are less than a single Conti replacement.
