Davanti DX640 Reviews - Page 6

Given 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz 220 cdi advantgarde (265/35 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 1,200 average miles
Early days yet but so far so good. 245/40/18 on front and 265/35/18 on rear. Had wheel alignment done at Lobitos in Prestatyn. I live within half mile of a55 so speeds are between 50 and 70 on a daily basis. The quietness compared to my previous Continentals is outstanding. Wear from the Continentals was good so hope Davanti perform as well, fingered crossed!! Update perhaps in 10000 miles?

Given 79% while driving a Volkswagen Scirocco R 265 PS DSG (235/35 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 26,000 average miles
Have a pair on the front of my Scirocco R that have done 26k miles and still have 2mm on them. At £90 a corner that seems to me good value. While I tend to be sedate away from the lights, I drive the car aggressively on B roads and I have never had any concerning moments.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Galaxy (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
i drive a big(ish) family car (galaxy mk3) and have never had any problems whatsoever. this is my second set as id previously had the same make tires fitted to my first galaxy (mk2). right from the first time i drove with the new tires it felt like i was driving a different car. the are smother and absorb more of the bumps, giving my suspension a bit of a rest. the first set i bought had done over 12,000 miles without any abnormal wear, just the same as any XL tire shod onto a heavy car. the tires i have are all weather and i can hardly tell the difference between wet and dry surfaces they are that good. cheap(ish) tires they are, but handling wise you wouldnt know they were!

Given 85% while driving a Audi a5 3.0 tdi quattro sport (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Very good tire considering the cost. Not as grippy as Conti or other premium, but for this price, its best bang for the buck. A bit of wear is showing, but considering the car is heavy and 4x4, nothing extraordinary. Will be buying again

Given 57% while driving a Lexus RX400 (235/55 R18) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Bought two new front Dx640's tires for Lexus 400h. Was persuaded into buying them due to good reviews on road noise and wet grip. They are decent in the two previously mentioned aspects but in terms of longevity they are nothing short of shockingly bad. They are not compatible, in my opinion, with heavier cars. The car has done 5,000 miles with them, mostly in and around town with the occasional motorway journey, and I need to replace both tires. It's a thumbs down from me and I'll never be buying the brand again.

Given 80% while driving a Volkswagen golf 2.0 gt tdi (225/45 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
A set of new Davanti DX640's were fitted to a car I bought a few weeks ago. Not usually a tire I would consider, but seeing as the tires were new I thought I might as well give them a try and get some use out of them. I fully expected to be changing them within a week, but I've driven on dry, damp, wet and lightly snow covered roads, and I have to say I can't fault them. They grip well on corners and braking feels stable. No doubt they won't last as long as a set of Michelins or other premium tire, but after 1000 miles of use so far, I can't fault them. If they said Michelin on the side people would probably give them much better reviews. They're certainly not ditch finders, so I'll use them until they wear out.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Focus MK3 (215/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 30,000 spirited miles
First of all let's put this to bed about Davanti tires, I work in the tire trade and sell a lot of different brands, the tire from my own experience and having used two sets so far has been nothing but a great experience, they do everything I want them to do and wet braking is fantastic, handling also amazing, if it's good enough to be used on track cars at autodromo its good enough for me, everyone i know who drives performance cars uses the brand and have nothing but good things to say, let's be honest, I see a lot of reviews by people using terms that people in the tire trade use to slag off other brands, specially the new boys in town ie being davanti tires, hope I am wrong and the reviews are all honest

Given 94% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI SRI 160 (245/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
I got these from my local garage and admittedly I'd never heard of them, but he had them on his own car and I've been going there for years so went with his recommendation. I must say I'm really impressed by them. I've had continentals on from when i bought the car new and I actually think there are better tires. The weathers been really wet and I haven't had a slippy moment at all. I can't say I throw the car round, but I drive fairly aggressively and the tires feel really good. I've called back into the garage and told him how good they are.... I got that "I told you so" look from him. A good bit cheaper than replacing them with the Continental's and as I said, I actually think these are better. They also don't seem to have worn at all, granted I've only had them on about 3000 miles, but so far so good. I've marked things down as a 9 as there's no doubt other drivers who'd give them more of a test, so I can't speak for how good they'd be with a maniac behind the wheel!

Given 73% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST180 (205/40 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
Ok well, this is just an initial review but so far guys, not bad not bad at all!!! i mean right now I'm strapped for csh and really didn't want to have to do this , my fiesta ST is a performance machine, handles so well and is quick little car, it really puts the hurt on those from tires with its snappy turbo charged motor, it came on bridgestone protenza which i thought were decent actually, I'm PLEASED to report that the dx640 hasn't ruined the car, they are grippy , very comfortable and quiet, they seem be lacking in dry grip in comparison , wet grip seems to have improved, feedback is about the same, the rear end of the car has always been mobile and these tires seem about the same as the bridge stones, with 4 tires i got a lifetime warranty for punctures and damage to them which is insane!!! This hasn't turned out to be one of my worst decisions and I'm hoping they will get better as they are, I'm currently on less than 100 miles, but as with everything you get what you pay for so I'm looking forward to seeing where the compromises are!!

Audi TT (225/40 R18 W) on mostly town for 2,000 easy going miles
These tires wore down to the metal banding after 2000 miles, yes 2k and its just my Mrs pottering around the shops. Impressive at first then highly dangerous. Avoid at all costs.

Given 56% while driving a Fiat 500 Abarth (205/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,500 spirited miles
While I drive my car quite vigorously, new tires only lasted about 8000 miles before I was down to about 2mm. My car is quite the lightweight, but even so I was expecting more. Can be a bit squirrely under hard braking, which is a quite worrying. Sorry Davanti, you're *okay* as a budget brand, but not much more.

Given 20% while driving a Toyota Altis (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 300 average miles
These tires are ditchfinders in the most literal sense of the word - I am now waiting for my car to be done over at the panel beaters' after it skidded, at 40km/h, into a ditch in a tropical downpour while braking to avoid a cyclist. This is only 2 weeks and 500kms after installing them. Thankfully the damage is minor enough, a couple dozen bucks, or I would have been writing documents for a lawsuit, rather than a review post. Avoid at all cost.
