It was praised for its good grip on dry roads and its relatively low wear rate, which are critical aspects for drivers seeking longevity and stability in their tyres. Additionally, it stood out in specific disciplines, leading the pack in dry braking and wet circle cornering, showcasing its specialized capability in crucial safety scenarios.

Ultimately, the tyre received a final rating of 'Satisfactory', reflecting a balanced view of its capabilities and areas for improvement, making it a recommendable choice for consumers looking for a reliable option in dry conditions while being mindful of its performance under wet conditions.
