Given 74% while driving a Toyota Vios (185/60 R15) on mostly motorways for 500 average miles
lets be realistic guys. this brand of tire is not among the leading brands,therefore we expect less of the performance. it performed quite well for me as it fits the need of a passenger car. drove as fast as 120km/h and it seems stable enough. you can hear a little bit of noise but like I said, this is a budget tire type.

so if youre buying this tire for constant fast driving, you better not. otherwise for normal transport needs, it does fine. better this than linglong tires

Bought a VW lupo with a new set of these fitted the first time it rained I found the car would not stop in a reasonable distance. Bought a set of firestones the car feels 10 times better in all conditions.

These tires are that dangerous I think they should be sold with a health warning may cause serious injury to ocupants and other road users.

DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS DANGEROUS.

The tires's have been on car for 3 years from new been happy with the grip in the dry but in the wet they do struggle if your trying to drive the car hard
I have been happy with the tire's but going to replace them with the Neuton Nt5000 or nt8000 which are the best budget tire for this car

Given 87% while driving a Peugeot RCZ 2.0 HDi GT (235/40 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
Had these on my Peugeot RCZ several times and am really pleased with them. The only apparent downside is how bony the ride is and how much you feel the road but without being an expert, I'd put that down to the nature of the car, not the tire. I have never felt even remotely unsafe...I have never suffered or been worried through lack of grip at any speed in any kind of weather...in fact in the snow, which living in the Peak District we get a lot of, they are tremendous. I had previously had Continentals and they have always worn out ridiculously quickly but these are good for well over 20k miles and this is from someone who does around 35k miles per year. Given the price (I had two fitted to the rear just 2 days ago...£85 each plus valve, wheel balance etc) I personally think they are great value and so long as you're not one to drive like a nutter, in my experience, they have been tremendous.

Given 21% while driving a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 tdi (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
Awful tires, and the worst tires I have ever had on a car in the wet. These tires will let go where as others would grip. Be warned if you get some!

In the dry, I suppose these are just OK but that is about as far as it would go. These tires were on the car when I bought it, just waiting for them to ware down, which won't be too long now and they will be replaced by something decent.

Given 61% while driving a Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4 petrol (225/45 R17 W) on mostly town for 10 average miles
All good to begin with. £400 for four tires, fitted.

Less than a year down the road, I have concerns about front tire wear. Although still legal (according to the fitter), the outer tread area has worn almost smooth. The fitter explained it can be power steering which has this effect, but it doesn't look right.

Also, I've noticed nicks in the sidewalls of each tire, which point to some kind of manufacturing defect. Overall, they drive fine, but they're making me feel uneasy, so it won't be long before we part company.

Given 87% while driving a Nissan 200sx (205/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Bought the s13 with these tires on it and after reading reviews thought that they would be scary!
I have not had any moments where I thought that they were bad in anyway, I would push on a bit at times but don't drive like an idiot and these tires have done everything I have asked of them yes you can go sideways in the wet when leaving a junction with a bit too much accelerator but you would do that with any tire!!
They are coming near the wear markers now and will be replacing again soon and will go with the same again as nothing comes close to the value in the size I need.

All the negative comments use American spelling -- that about sums it up!
Yank mobiles are dreadful on any tires

Given 43% while driving a Skoda Octavia (205/55 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
First let me say these are the only tires I have had on the Skoda so far, and I am comparing it to a Saab 93 2.0T petrol with Pirellis and Bridestones, and a VW Polo 0.9 on Yokohamas. All of my statements are purely from comparative experiences.

These tires are awful. Trying to come to a reasonable stop from 30mph the ABS kicks in so soon and and stopping distance is shocking - that's in the dry. In the wet I am now ultra cautious. That driver on the motorway with 10 trucks worth of stopping distance is me.

Recently I have tried the car in the snow, and I am not trying again. It slides on slush, I have slid out of two hill junctions with the horn jammed on and bumped a car from a 30m slide started at about 3mph.

They are quieter than the Bridgestones were though, so if that does it for you... why not? I however am changing these tires as soon as I can get to a garage!

Had problems with vibrations through the full car on an 04 Freelander .
Fitted a set of these fantastic tires and the problem is sorted.
Car now drives silky smooth and has never performed so well.
What a difference a decent set of tires makes.
Half the cost of some tires that were recommended.
Completely satisfied with my purchase.
Don't hesitate to buy these .
