Overall a very good tyre for all conditions on UK roads which are often in poor condition. Ride quality is good but they are also still very capable when driving harder. I would buy them again but probably in the MZ variant with a stiffer side wall for more positive feel when cornering.

Comment:
The grip of this tyre drops-off very quickly in high temperature conditions. I live in Italy where in the summer the road surface can reach easily >40degrees. In this condition it feels like you're driving in the wet with gig increase in understeer and poor braking grip. When the temp is cooler the tyre is fine.
