Full review

I used to use these tyres a few years ago.

They are fairly well priced, and the wear rate was good. Grip in the dry was good, though in the wet they did slide around a bit, - as many cheaper tyres do. I always felt less confident going around corners (particularly roundabouts) in the wet.

However, as a training tyre that is fine, and as they are a few years old now, I would imagine the price has come down from the £14 I paid. If they were under £10 a pair, I would probably buy another set.

However, I have moved onto Conti GP 4season Gatorskins as my training tyre of choice, and to be honest I would recommend you spend the extra money and buy a set of these (see my other review for details).
