Great tyres. Have used them for a few years now and don't have a reason to change. Not cheap.

Comment:
This is a fantastic tyre. But on my car the rim-protection does not cover the edge of the wheel (Ixion). This is probably peculiar to these wheels. These tyres are superior to Sport Contact 3. Tyre pressures can have a MASSIVE effect on noise/comfort and grip with my car. S60 seems happiest at 40psi. 38psi and you'll think the dampers are shagged.

Comment:
Unfortuatly both tyres suffered sidewall damage that meant the tyres had to be scrapped. I would say these tyres are at more risk form sidewall damage than others.
