Excellent. Good roadholding and steering and currently quieter. Need more more to see if fuel consumption is improved!

Tyres are performing exceptionally well. They have excellent grip in the wet. They handle very well on the road and road noise is minimal

Main reason for getting these was the comfort factor. Car is Volvo V60 D4 with R-Design suspension which is quite harsh. The Primacy 5 offers better comfort than previous Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY6. Grip has been fine so far but have done been through a winter yet
