225/50 R18 95W FSL  Run Flat  M+S

A tyre on a par with the major brands but costing half the price. Now the price has shot up dramatically, but so has everything in 2022 with inflation and Putin’s war. I bought them last year and have driven normally at legal speeds on the road, and at night I’ve covered long stretches on rural roads in the early hours. Performance is good: some parts of the route are dry while others are shaded by trees and damp, and the tyre behaves well when moving from dry to wet surfaces. Right now it’s at the limit and needs replacing, and yesterday it was raining heavily and even then it was the first time it experienced any aquaplaning. All tyres last me a maximum of 10,000 km, regardless of the brand, so please don’t take my rating for “tyre longevity” into account.

I expected more. Overall disappointed with the behavior and wear.

Bought these expecting mid-range performance. Grips is fine in the dry, but poor in the wet. They might be ok on a front wheel drive car, but I wouldn't recommend putting them on a rear wheel drive car with even moderate amounts of power and torque. The slightest prod on the accelerator off a wet roundabout or low speed corner will have the back end stepping out. These tyres are said to be hard wearing, so if I get 20,000 miles plus out of them it'll have been worth putting with the nervousness. Anything less and I'll be very disappointed.
