Pros & Cons

Strengths

Low noise levels, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Good mileage and tread longevity.

Fuel-efficient thanks to low rolling resistance.

Weaknesses

Limited lateral grip and understeering behavior on snow.

Reduced safety reserves and moderate lateral grip in wet conditions, leading to longer braking distances and understeering.

Restricted aquaplaning resistance.
