For me, no premium class. I bought these tyres with lower noise in mind, but was sadly disappointed. Having old, worn 2009 Kumho tyres I didn't feel any difference, in fact I would say the old ones were better (and I'm not joking now). And I would also mention the softness of the tyre, well they feel stiff and the car is a Passat after all, so the tyres are to blame. I'm sure the car is fine, it's been checked. I wouldn't buy them again. I suspect the fault is that they are made in Poland, which no one mentioned to me, they are not the Michelins they used to be.
