While it was already replaced by the 7th model, it's still offered in some dimensions and if the price is right, there is no reason not to buy it.

Pros & Cons

Strengths

Exceptionally well-balanced tire offering high safety ratings and confident handling in both wet and dry conditions.

Very short braking distances on dry roads and ample safety margins when driving in wet and dry conditions.

Low rolling resistance results in reduced fuel consumption.

Excellent comfort with very low interior and exterior noise levels, aided by advanced noise-reducing technology.

High mileage and durability ensure a long lifespan.

Weaknesses

Limited aquaplaning resistance and slightly longer braking distances in heavy rain compared to top competitors.

Steering response is somewhat less direct and the tire tends to understeer more than some leading alternatives.
