Degrade quickly. The more worn the louder. On dry quite OK

205/40/17 in the Nissan 100NX. With such a profile there’s no space for a comfort (+ stiffer springs), but before the roundabouts you do not have to brake. Lateral support is very good, when starting it didn’t happen to me to squeak tyres (but that’s the tip of the clutch) and I can’t complaint for abrasion. After a few thousand miles I do not really see any difference. For this price, I expected something more, even a lot more, but I don’t complain. With some of the 205/40/17 tyres to buy these are sensible.

I decided to add my two cents, because the opinions of some Internet users should not be taken into account. 1. It is difficult to assess the values of a tyre in moderate driving – the chinese rubber is enough for that. Bridgestone RE050A work very well, but they are better. 2. Grip on wet roads also depends on the width of a wheel - the larger, the more carefully you should ride - wider sizes (over 225) require skill and caution. 3. Sport tyres are not hard, as some ‘smart guy’ wrote. Achieving a better grip is a price for faster usage. These bore one season driving fast, powerful car, so they are good. It’s a good compromise between hardness and abrasion. Overall, they are very good tyres, although currently I’m looking for something better. But we have different requirements and for calm drivers I do not recommend more expensive tyres - you will feel no difference.

Runflat tyres. Unfortunately, this is not a tyre for our ‘’wonderful’’ roads. It’s hard itself and also additionally hardened by runflat. And there is the effect - bubbles on the sides show up by sliding up a simple well or a small hole. Already two tyres with bubbles on the sides. BMW probably only thought about the German roads by fitting them as a standard. Generally, the lack of comfort is an understatement. If I had a choice I would not buy it. On the wet it’s only average, I’ve had better - at least Continental Premium 2.

These tyres for sure it will never pile. When it comes to handling properties, especially in dry conditions without reservations, on wet also pretty good, though are better, but the fault of the tyres, which at the same time for me disqualifies these tyres is teething! Friends had similar stories with these tyres. We strongly advise against it.

Maybe just a little practice, I'm driving bmw, these tires on the back, I think maybe a little steep, but no worries in the same purchase.
