Schöner klassischer Reifen mit guten Fahreigenschaften - leider auch mit guten Verschleiß. Passt gut auf Oldtimer, da er noch eine Scheuerleiste hat.

Sehr guter + ausgewogener Reifen. Ideal für Youngtimer- Fahrzeuge, da Dimensionen lieferbar, die es heute nicht mehr gibt (oder nur teuer). Die ersten 2 Jahre sehr guter Komfort und Eigenschaften, welche nach dem 3.- ten Jahr leider etwas nachlassen, aber irgendwann härtet ja jeder Reifen etwas aus - bei günstigen ist das natürlich schneller der Fall. Trotzdem sehr ausgewogenes Preis- Leistungs- Verhältnis und daher sehr empfehlenswert.

The worst tyre I've ever had. The grip levels are worse than retreads.
In the wet, they have no grip. On a rainy day, on some roundabouts in Canberra (Australia), I cannot exceed 35km/h without sliding out. These roundabouts are located in 80km/h zones.
The tyres cannot hold much air pressure, hence the ride is a bit sloppy. From memory, maximum tyre pressure was well under 36PSI which is pathetic.
As I drive in Australia, the roads in Australia are not the best with potholes and often, I have to drive on gravel and rocky roads. These tyres have developed holes for the air to leak. One of the holes is on the side wall. These tyres are not reliable and are dangerous in wet weather. The only positive thing I can say about this tyre is that they are good for burnouts and drifting, but that's about it.

    The average rating is calculated as follows:
  • Traction under dry conditions 15%
  • Braking under dry conditions 15%
  • Traction under wet conditions 15%
  • Braking under wet conditions 15%
  • Traction in snow 0%
  • Ride comfort 10%
  • Noise level (internal) 5%
  • Noise level (external) 5%
  • Tire wear 20%
