Excellent replacement tyre for those not wanting to have P or D runflats.

Superior in full wet and part wet/greasy conditions compared to Toyo, but not as grippy as the Toyos in the dry. Better than the Toyos with regard to lower road noise ...presumably due to slightly less rubber touching the surface and the tread pattern being so different.

Far exceeds the Dunlop and Pirelli runflats for ride and handling in all conditions.

Not tested in the snow but I guess it won't be up to much in that as its a low profile tyre with sports tread pattern.
