as long as you drive sensibly, any half decent tyre should be ok.

They'll no doubt do a job.....as said, they'll not be the grippiest tyres,


BUT.....they'll get you through yer mot, and should last a while....just take it a bit easier on them.

They will last quite awhile due to the compiound of rubber but offer less grip.

They will be fine to run for as long as you want mate.
