Terms of publication and processing of reviewsThe car is more efficient and returns higher miles per KwH, however I got a puncture but I don’t think this is related to the tyre - just unlucky?

Terms of publication and processing of reviewsTyres were still performing superbly. In the Autumn months I had no traction issues from a standstill, cornering grip or braking concerns at all. I was worried the e-primacy may struggle in colder damp conditions but they were absolutely no problem at all. I’ve recently swapped over to winter tyres for the colder months. Definitely noticed a reduction in range when switching to the winter tyres - the colder weather will no doubt play the biggest part in this, but the winter tyres are rated c for fuel efficiency vs the a for the e primacy tyres.
