This is a great summer tire because it grips well even in the rain, which is unusual for summer tires
5/5
It rides a little stiffer than before in terms of ride quality. But I'm sure it's because of the thicker side walls.

These are some nice tires, I have 300 horsepower on my front wheel gti, and they stick really well when it gets hot. I'm hoping they hold up! Take a look at what I got for them, they're adorable.
