I had them for three consecutive years on a 2008 Mazda 6. The tire seemed quiet from the very beginning and it was able to work well with the Mazda's steering, although it didn't enhance it. What I noticed was that it had good responsiveness in the rain and provided good traction, but when the summer months came, for a 1,800 cc car that produces 124 horsepower, it didn't justify the slightest press of the gas pedal, whether it was uphill or on a straight road, the wheels would slip and this didn't happen with Bridgestone. It even had issues on open curves, not to mention the pedals when the asphalt was hot. I'm not saying that in Greece the asphalt is glass, but not all tires do this, as I mentioned before, Bridgestone didn't. The wear was extremely fast at 18,000 km
