Given 100% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,250 spirited miles
I have read the other reviews on these tires, but i must say that i have had no problems, in the dry and wet they are very good, wear has been exceptional, i wonder if it is the cars that people have had there tires fitted to, i have had them since May 2012 and covered 15250 miles and they are still in good condition, why do people always slat other reviews, do your home work first if you are buying tires, i would recommend these tires.

There are the worst tires I have ever had in the wet. After a few scares I have decided to swap them out although they still have 75% tread.

Given 66% while driving a Kia Motors Soul 1.6 CDI (225/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
I purchased a set of these tires to replace the original Hankooks that had almost worn to limit after 29k miles. As you can see my car is not a sporty car, so there is not a lot of horsepower/torque going through the front wheels, unless the turbo is boosting. The handling is not bad, which I think is more down to the poor suspension settings, rather than the tires. The tires are quite noisey, but that could be due to the poor sound insulation. What is not good, is that if you enjoy going round roundabouts, in damp conditions, sideways, buy a set of these. I find it quite interesting, but I am hoping that I do not have to avoid an incident in the same conditions, because I do not think the car will stop. I thought they were a good price so I decided to give them a try. Why other motorists have not mentioned this problem is amazing.

Given 83% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TFSI (205 bhp) (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 10,000 average miles
We have now covered 10000 miles in an Audi A4 Avant 2.0T and have to say that these tires are fantastic. They have lasted far better than the Continentals and Dunlops previously fitted, and are far quieter. The grip is good (maybe not as good as the Contis, but not much worse, and at least on a par with the Dunlop SP01As and SportMaxx). Contis were dead after 11000 miles, these have at least 5mm left all round. Fantastic tire given the costs - if you drive like a getaway driver then maybe not for you, but I am not a slow driver at all and have never had a problem with them.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (235/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 16,000 spirited miles
Bought these in may 2012, very good tires in the wet and in the dry, have had no issues with these tires, wear factor is excellent, on local roads and motorway. People seem to under estimate these tires, but as a new comer to the tire industry they will be up there with the other tire manufactures in the future. Will buy again when needed. Well done Altenzo tires for an exceptional product.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,500 spirited miles
Have covered 8500 miles with these tires,had fitted in july 2012, and they perform very well in the dry and in the wet. It maybe down to the car you drive, but have had not problem with these tryes. As for the review, do not buy, it seems that this customer has had a bad experience, may not suit all cars, but if you research these tires, they have had a compound change in 2011. I would say that i will be buying these again.As for comfort and noise level, far better than my Goodyears that were on the car. Well done Altenzo comforter.

Given 39% while driving a MG ZT 260 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10 average miles
This is an honest appraisal not a dig at these tires, DO NOT BUY!!!
They are lethal in the wet, the sidewall construction is weak, making the car judder on bumpy bends, and after just 13 months of running the car the inner sidewall has blistered 180 degrees around the circumference. Dangerous, and unsafe. Please for the sake of your family don't buy.
Car used, mg zt 260 v8 all tracking true at time of tire fitment. Tires 225/45-18.91.Y fitted to front only thank god.

Bought these in August 2012,dry grip is very good, in the wet they seem to grip the road very well, i used Goodyear on my car before, but would buy Altenzo tires again.How can people say that they are no good, when 1000's are sold across the uk, especially when you look at companies in the uk who fit them.

Given 100% while driving a Chrysler 300C Hemi Touring (255/55 R18 W) on mostly town for 8,000 spirited miles
Since purchasing my chrysler 300c i have used used many tires including pirelli ,yokohama and verdestein. I now have Altenzo and found them easily as good as the big names.Note that since week 37/2011 they have had a complete compound change and this massively improved wet weather grip and rolling resistance bringing the quality closer to premium than budget.
I would recommend them to any one and as i work for a large tire company i have the choice of all-most any tire.They are proving to be very hard to beat and i have seriously given the tires a good test in wet and dry conditions and at speeds over 140mph (whilst driving in Germany).

Given 69% while driving a Toyota Yaris (205/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
These tires came as a tire and mag package and for a light toyota vitz they are quite good. One annoyance is the blocks feel quite spongy making the steering wheel feel floaty at times, you have to change your driving style slightly. In the dry they do good and stick to the road around corners going up and down hill and the pretty much the same in the wet. The car did well to stick to the same corners in light and heavy rain. While driving on the highway in the wet they feel stable and don't aquaplane as i would have expected them to do. They are slightly noisey in the cabin but not that bad. I would buy these again for my little car. Could be a different story for a car over 150bhp rwd, 4wd or turbo.

Given 35% while driving a Ford Mondeo (225/40 R18) on mostly town for 300 average miles
These tires were fitted on a wheel and tire package bought online. Initially in the dry I thought they were OK, in the wet they are nothing short of life threatening. They have no grip at all on wet/damp roads, I had 4 wheel slide on a large roundabout doing the same speed as other road users on the way home from work. I have just taken them off after only a few scary miles.
