Very dangerous tire on wet roads. Only buy these if you live in a very dry climate. I've done 45000kms on them and can probably do another 30000kms. They hardly wear out. I am waiting for them toe wear out so I can buy a tire that performs better on wet roads.

I had these tyres on my Golf IV 2002 tdi for almost 3 summers then i sold my car with almost perfect tyres.Wear them about 20000km,and they were almost new,but i am not a hard driver,just average.Very quiet tyre,comfortable,fuel consumption very low.Consumption with them were about 4.2-4.7L per 100km,even once i've managed 3.8 on a 50km short trip.Generaly perfect tyre for average driver.For sports car, i don't now...
