I have these on the front in my Mini Cooper S Coupe and also had them before on all 4 corners on my 2007 Boxster S. They are by far the best tyres I used in Scotland. Because the weather here is always damp, cold and rains a lot, these were an option I considered for the Boxster and now that I have the Mini I put them on as well on the front as the ones that came with the car were budget tyres and were awful. Now, they are very good on dry tarmac and grip is more than sufficient for normal daily driving, if you are a bit of a heavy foot person you will see that they can handle quite a lot of abuse. In wet conditions they come to their best and I can confirm that both the Boxster and the Mini have benefited from having these tyres fitted. You can drive quite hard and the water dispersion is great. The confidence of having grip even under torrential downpour is one of the best feelings when driving. I am not saying you should drive like a maniac, but these tyres are definitely the best I have ever had in a vehicle in the last 25 years. Wear will depend on the driving style, so don’t blame them if you drive like nuts and use a lot of unnecessary braking. Both in the Boxster and the Mini these are fantastic and the feeling of a secure and stable drive is what’s best for me. Will definitely have them in the future again, and recommend to anyone not only in Scotland, but perhaps the whole of the U.K. where the weather is not nice most of the time. Mind you, these are summer tyres, don’t go crazy during winter, because as most summer tyres, the rubber goes hard below 6 degrees Celsius, so if you like a sharp drive even in cold weather, get a set of proper winter tyres.

Great value when purchased, look great. Slightly noisier than my previous Continental tyres but better in the wet for sure.

Excellent mid range tyres. I have been using Uniroyal tyres for quite some time now and I was always pleased with their performance. However the only let down is that the price is slowly creeping up so they will soon compete with premium tyres price wise.

Excellent all rounder. Price is creeping up slowly for these non premium tyres. So I’m not sure if they are worth it for much longer.
