No problems to date. Ford Focus 1 L ecoboost. Steering is lighter and has reduced road noise after replacing well worn previous primacy front tyres which lasted 26,000 mls. Good tyres, would recommend.

Compared to the previous tyre's being michelin primacy 4's, there's a noticeable improvement in handling both wet and dry weather, as well as longer tread life - would recommend these tyre's to anyone, unless you do spirited driving and then would recommend the pilot sport range
