So far these have lasted twice the distance than the previous Uniroyal 550 tyres and they still have some life left yet. They have gripped better in both wet and dry and cost roughly half the price. The only problem was when I hit a broken bottle just after fitting the tyres, the fabric casing is not as strong as a "premium tyre's" metal one so did not survive where the premium might have. Even with 5 tyres used up Vs 4 for some other make these have still cost about half, in fact when you take into account the wear they have cost about a quarter of the Uniroyals. I now have these fitted to both my Volvo 850.

Pretty good grip in the dry but dangerous in the wet. Tyre is not expensive to buy, but it will be worth money spending more and getting a better tyre. Its a Chinese tyre, almost all of them are poor.

Rather happy with the tyres, however after one year of use cracks appeared on the tyre side wall. As under warranty they will be returned for investigation.
