For Greek roads, I believe it is the best choice. Compared to softer tires, they provide slightly worse braking and acceleration (longitudinal accelerations) and take a little longer to reach the correct temperature. However, the harder sidewalls are pure gold in turns (lateral accelerations), as the steering becomes extremely precise and understeer is minimized. The lateral grip seems to be equally good. Finally, I did not see them lose as much grip at 3 and 4 years, as softer options. It is the best tire in this size from all the ones I have tried so far (Turanza, T1R, PS3, F1 asymmetric), with a significant difference.
