195/35 16 Tire Review Highlights

Jinyu YH12 rated 76% while driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.9 Tdi
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
At 47.50 a corner fitted I was not expecting too much, suffice to say I am pleasantly surprised. On a car running 183hp through the front wheels, they put the power down well, especially in cooler temperatures in the wet, although I can say the sidewalks are soft and a little vague when giving feedback.
The tires give plenty of warning when pushed to their limits and I would say that they perform well in all aspects especially considering the very low purchase price.
The sidewalls are quite thick (although they are soft and deflect slightly) and fitted instead of 205's they have increased my fuel economy very slightly.
After 3000 spirited miles the tires are down to 6mm from their original 8, which means they have lasted better than the Toyo t1r's they were fitted to replace. As a rough guide I would say the wet grip as actually better than the Toyo, however they are not as good in the dry.

I would buy these tires again especially considering how well they have exceeded my expectations.

Tire change front wheels at 9800 miles. Worst wear I've had on any car I've ever owned.

Event WL905 rated 49% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa 1.8 SRi
Driving on mostly motorways for 7000 average miles
As per all other reviews, the tires are not bad in the wet, but I attempted to set off from some traffic lights whilst it was raining, and the wheels simply spun. I have a 1.8 Corsa and I was using next to no throttle, the car was just inching forward as it struggled for traction, I thought I left the handbrake on or something. Im writing this review because I had to slam on the brakes hard on the motorway (raining) and nearly ruined my trousers, I have abs but it was just not stopping. Stay away!
