These little puppies were fitted to the front axle only when I purchased my car. They were only fitted a week prior to purchasing the car. I was actually surprised at the dry weather grip levels as they were a tire that I would never ordinarily consider.

My next suprise was when they were on the wear indicators around 13,000km later. To be fair, I never rotated them, and although I'm not a hoon, I was reasonably hard on them. Still, buyer beware that they're about as durable as a lemonade sandwich

Very disappointed with these tires, especially with reading all the reviews. They are good in the wet and the dry, much more comfortable than the run flat Bridgestone I replaced, however the wear on them is shocking. Most tires come with min of 8mm of tread. I measured these on day one at 7mm. I have driven a maximum of 1000 and I am now down to 5.6mm on the rear and 6mm on the front. Can this be right? Would buy premium tires next time, Sure they cost twice the price, but hey last more than twice as long with better performance. Never gain

For this mount in 18 inches the tire budget is consistent, I had these new tires mounted on my 407 3.0 v6 HDi when purchasing, having it reprogrammed shortly after and having a Torque of more than 550nm to pass to the front wheels, in short I pushed them in their retrenchments since already 25000km.

Good:
Good handling on the dry
Never dangerous (do not unhook suddenly, even on the wet)
Duration of life correct (+/- 25/30000 in front in rather brutal use and more than 50000 in the back without worries)
Unbeatable performance / price ratio

Bad:
Excessive rolling noise
Anywhere in the rain (+/- equivalent to an energy saver Michelin)
Tire tender unsuitable to a rocky, or mountainous soil.

Fitted not for long yet as I bought the car used, low mileage with those tires already fitted. but if wear looks OK the grip on wet is not great. On round about if cornering is slightly too fast the car is under-steering. I had much better grip on wet with Michelin, Dunlop or Uniroyal on my previous car so I will most likely not buy Hifly again and go back to Uniroyal... I live in Manchester so we got a rather wet weather!!

I think they are a good all round tires for the price, as you can see there are a lot more expensive tires and you only get what you pay for so for the price of these tyes they are good value.

I always buy budget tires as the chances are you get a unrepairable puncture and it's scrap. I have had these tires previously on my Honda Accord 2.2 diesel and on my Focus Diesel 1.8 tdci. I don't wheel spin (Traction controlled cars) or lock up the wheels (ABS) but do accelerate quite progressively to keep the diesel engines running sweet and the DPF clean. On the honda and Focus I had really good mileage out of the tires and would switch the fronts with the rears mid life. I got at least 30,000 miles out of each set. I now have a Insignia Tourer diesel and either the car or the tryes or both have not performed.The car is a slug but heavyso aceleration is poor and wih tire sensors I've not done the usual switch from fronts to rears as they want to charge you a fortune to re callabrate the tire sensors when you move the wheels from front to rear. As a result I have only managed 16,000 miles on the fronts and they are down to the legal limit 1.6mm and as you can imagine if the road gets a light misting of vapour the car wants to skate across the road surface.

After one year use of this tire i am convinced that is very good - low budget - tire for use on normal driving mode

I have a citroen Jumpy working van. Got this car brand new in 2016 with factory tires: Michelin Agilis 51, wich i dont find in this website's database. Original size was 215/60-16" with weigt load index 103/105. The tires was crap in every way. Wheelspin on wet road i roundabauts, very loud inside the cabin, torque steer everywhere, and the ride....man the car was falling apart almost. For instance it was not possible to drink coffe without get some on your shirt. I belive it is to blame the very high load index, wich we are strigthly applyed to use by law here in Norway on vans.

Anyway, i chose to get some 18" inch alloys on this car and not care about the load index. A suitable dim i found to be 235/45-18". Almost the same diametre as the old 16" tires. With little money to spare, i chose the cheapest tire i could find in Norway in this size, Hifly 805. 60pounds a piece.

I have now driven the car 600 miles with this setup. (235/45-18 W 98XL) And I am positively surprised! As a cheap tire, i was expecting a lot worse. The car is a lot more stable under acceleration, with less torquesteer. That alone could be the size of the tire. But dry grip are improved by maybe 200%! 130 kph trough some bad norwegian B roads....in a van :p no problem at all. The noise is louder in a different way than the 16". Less rumbling but more sound in speeds over 70 kph. Again, im sure it is to blame wider tires, and a poorly sound insulated 3 seater van.With that said, the sound never gets annoying. The only downside is that the tires can be seeking left an right while you drive. More than axeptable imo. But than again, we have asfalt with deep ruts here in norway. Never smooth, plane road surfaces. And another thong is that the front tires can feel a little bad on feedback. Overall grip is good, but you never know trough the steering wheel really. You just have to push the limits and find out.

Rubber compound are relatively soft, wich gives the good grip. Sidewalls are stiff so in heavy cornering, the car feels stable. I have not got a chance to test it on wet or durability yet. Overall this is a lot tire for the money. Not a top tire in anyway, but ok. And way better than any crap van tires. Next time with a little more money, i will get goodyear ass 2, or hankook s1 evo2. But for now the Hifly 805 are ok! If you have a high performance car or you have high comfort standards on yoyr tires, dont by Hifly. But it will work for plenty of people!

Worst tires I have ever had, they were fitted by Vauxhall to my meriva and lasted less than a year. I am not an aggressive driver and generally pop into town and back in my car, the town is 3 miles away. Please don't waste your money on these tires it has cost me 200quid for less than a years light motoring . Never again!

For one year use tire! , +low price ,-Noise ,-hi fuel consuption 27000km run

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.

4 tires fitted April 2015, rears fine but fronts will need replacing quite soon, less than 8,ooo miles completed, very disappointing even though I understand these are budget tires. Fitted to Peugeot 207cc GT, normal driving with no wheel spin, fast corners etc. Definitely will not buy again.
