low rolling resistance tires for the masses. long lasting tread and not as noisy but make sure to check the pressure more often.
definitely not for spirited driver. overall grip sux' big time but it survived on my recent hilly road trashing. fitted on small 1.3 car though.

exactly! we can never have 'em in one package but few tires like azenis series, asymmetric 2 and maybe the ps3(had it not for the soft sidewall) almost made it!
btw, i was taking a friend's bet actually. his car was fitted with gy assurance. he told me, the way i drive, his 2 year old  assurance will not last the distance. drove his 1.3 blm manual back to his home within stipulated time and he pay for my motul 300v competition which is fun.
tires flexing and screaming on corners, numb steering feedback...thanks God it didn't burst

the point is ; tires will only burst on 3 condition, manufacturer defect, foreign object intervention and excessive wear and tear driven at high speed. i push the ol' assurance to the max and it survived.
