Questions and Answers for the Hifly HF805

2018-03-18 - 235/40 R18 Challenger DSRT`s on a 2008 Mondeo 2.0 petrol.. What`s the correct tire pressure? Have tried 28 psi front and 32 psi Front ( as recommended by Ford ) and none of these pressures give correct wear. Always end up with excessive wear in the center of tread?

Tire pressures are manufacturer dependant, so the correct tire pressure is set by the vehicle manufacturer. That said, centre tread wear usually indicates overinflation.


2019-10-24 - Is the Hifly HF805 tire suitable for gravel roads, all terrain?

The HF805 is a summer tire, so while it can be used lightly on gravel, it is not recommended to fit it if you'll spend a lot of time off road.

Top 3 Hifly HF805 Reviews

Given 79% while driving a Honda Integra R DC5 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 40,000 spirited miles
Have 205 55 R16 fitted to my Integra.
I avoid hard braking but love cornering at speed. I inflate my tires to 38PSI front and 36PSI rear.
I've managed to get 40,000 miles or 65,000km from my set of Hifly HF805s. I believe they'll make it to 80,000km.

So far, I can see a lot of negative comments about these tires... maybe because they're Chinese and it's ok to vent racist comments about anything Chinese. Maybe it's the car... like the guy whose Yaris is spinning it's front wheels.

The HF805 is a summer tire. There's no ice in summer.

On dry and wet, braking and cornering are absolutely excellent. The performance is actually amazing. Durability has been great.

I'm surprised at the number of ignorant people who think tires are made with secret recipes that only some manufacturers know.

If I use a slick tire in the wet, it doesn't matter whether it's a Michelin or a Pirelli. If it's a soft compound it's going to give better grip but wear faster than a hard compound. Wider tires give better lateral grip. Thinner side walls give better handling but are harsher.

The HF 805's pattern, compound are more than appropriate for the list of ordinary cars I've seen in this thread.

Given 87% while driving a Mercedes Benz 190 2.3 16 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
These were new on a 2010 Mercedes C300 I purchased. This is my ‘everyday’ car. They have served me well, and whilst in the wet they won’t grip as well, now that they have worn down close to war blocks, any normal sane person wouldn’t be pushing their car to the limit anyway. Plus other brand tires never perform the same when close to wear limit either.
I push this car hard going over the Kaimai Range to Tauranga, and have been impressed with how well they handle. No squealing!
They have lasted just on two years, with the rears now close to the wear blocks and the front still have 2-3 ml left. They have never been rotated front to back. These tires have travelled 18,000 odd kilometres. I am buying another set to replace these. I do have a preference for Michelin tires, have them on my V8 Mercedes, but the price and overall driveability of these Hifly HF 805’s have led me to buy another set.

Given 56% while driving a Peugeot 508 SW 1.5 HDI GT LINE (235/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
These tires came with an used 2012 Peugeot 508 SW GT Line with relatively low mileage on them (I think less than 25000KM). The front tires I put new Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and these HiFly HF805 my tire shop recommended to put on the rear until I am ready to get matching Michelin tires. I drive short distance in the city and about 25-30KM on the highway regularly to commute and these tires are comfortable and handle well on dry roads. They also handle well even in heavy rain as long as I don't try to curve suddenly over 30KM/h. On dry road, my car can do a sharp curve with these tires at 50KM/h without losing control. However, on wet road, at 50KM/h the car started to look rear grip, swaying left and right strongly before I regained control. So I learned not to exceed 35KM/h on wet road when cornering. They did well on long distance driving, even at 150KM/h, without any instability. However, recently my car began to show a warning of low tire pressure on on side. I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low, and I inflated all the tires to the correct level. However, less than a week later, the car showed a warning that the tire on the other side may be punctured or flat. I checked the other tire and it was a bit low but not flat. Fortunately I live close to a trusted tire shop and I took my car there. Initially we suspected it may be due to a nail puncture. However, as you can see in the photo, once he removed a tire, from the inner side, there are two visible crack on the sidewall! After he removed the other tire, it showed even a bigger crack on the inner side. I had been driving for most of my life and the many tires I used never exhibited such symptom. The cracks weakened the structural integrity of these tires and it will be a matter of them before they shred under high speed driving. I was lucky to have caught this in time.

Since my car has 19-inch wheels, good tires don't come cheap. I understand the reason why the previous owner put these on. They are less than 80 euros each, compared to say some mid-level brand like Nexgen which still cost 150 euros each. What I ended up replacing them is Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and they cost 220 euros each! But they can corner with no problem at 50km/h on wet road without causing the car to sway like a fishtail. They are also not going to have cracked sidewalls after 25000KM of driving.

Given 39% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy maxi 200bhp (235/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
These tires would be acceptable if we never got rain……. as in 365 days of dry weather! In the wet they are dangerous!! Uneven damp roads they are dangerous! I would never want to attempt emergency braking in the wet with these. Dry grip is ok but the comfort is rubbish and the side wall offers absolutely no rim protection. These tires came with the brand new alloys that came with the van- so not sure who exactly bought them, either the alloy manufacturer or the dealer I bought the van from- either way it’s obviously because they are cheap. I’ve replaced these with Michelin crossclimate- far superior and worth the extra cost.

Given 46% while driving a Audi A7 3.0 TFSI (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles
This tires are risky. First, no rim protection, at all. So any accidental curb touches leave their mark Handling is atrocious. The tires kept pulling the steering wheel any which way depending on road conditions Very weak sidewall. I ran some rumble strips at speed and shredded two tires. Road noise, better amp your radio Wet handling is really bad. Only positive us that they seem to have good tread even after 15000kms

Given 37% while driving a Suzuki swift sport (205/50 R17) on mostly country roads for 600 average miles
These were fitted just before we picked up my wifes Suzuki Swift Sport. After 350k's of highway use I had to emergency brake due to a car pulling out in front of me, t-boned them. ABS tried but the grip was virtually non-existent. Had the car repaired and after 1000k's I'm replacing them as they are not a good tire at all. The grip is not great in either wet or dry and they ride rough. Also seeing out edge wear even though the wife doesn't drive like a looney. Yes, alignment has been checked and it's fine. Seriously, don't buy these, spend a bit extra and get decent tires.

These came fitted new to our Transporter camper conversion. Rears have worn well but the fronts are dreadful, we have covered 7,000 miles (thanks Covid!) and the fronts are now on the wear bar, but only in the middle of the tread pattern. The outer bars still have life in them. Pressures and tracking have all been checked so they must just be not great tires. Will not be replacing like for like..

I am on my third set of 4 tires and these tires, for a very good price, are ok but you can do so much better for an extra few pounds. Dry handling is ok abait the tire walls are soft, wet handling when worn in is acceptable although braking distances are extended. The Hi Fly's will wear quickly depending on your car and driving style, when worn in the wet these are dangerous, at 70 mph on a wet motorway the rear aqua planed and very nearly lost control, when new this is not an issue. I am not purchasing these again this time. On my old Golf GTI's, Sciroccos, and Alfas I used to use Falken as the best mid priced brand, Falken are no longer a mid but premium brand and for FK510 we are looking at £450 fitted, after speaking with Micheldever Tires ( UK distributer of many brands inc Falken) they advised Kuhmo 71 would be a good choice but I didn't like them. So after many years of using performance tires this is my list of good performing tires at a decent price, most expensive first (225/50/17y xl). 1. Nokian Z line (Now Nokian Powerproof) £100/£105 fitted. 2. Falken FK453 (now would be FK510, the ZE914 wasn't bad either. 2. Fulda Sport Control. £100/£105 fitted 4. Debica Presto UHP 2 (Goodyear) £85 fitted. 4. Sava Intensa UHP (Goodyear, so little between the two). £85 fitted 4. Roadstone Eurovis 04 (Roadstone made by Nexan. Really good for the money and would buy again). What have I just ordered for my car, Debica Presto UHP 2.
