In short, if you go to Tesco once a week on a saturday morning in the dry they will be reasonable, but for anything on the motorway or a sportier car please dont put yourself in danger.

These tires were fitted to my newly purchased toy RX8.

I had already decided to take them off before buying the car as budget tires are NOT what you should be fitting to a tail happy RWD car.

Part of my job is to design devices that work with tires and I see a lot of different tires from different manufacturers. I actually cut these tires up to use as a plant pot drainer when I got them home from having them changed and boy oh boy do they have poor belt construction and fewer strands than other brands.

Dry Grip:

Good once you've turned in but looses traction with very little warning. Initial turn in is slow as the tire sidewall is so soft that they deform far too easily under pressure.

Dry braking:

Car squirms around a lot as the sidewalls cant cope with the weight transfer, much longer stopping distance than the new tires replaced it at a speed of 50mph.

Feedback:

Zero in a high performance vehicle. Might be ok for big people carriers and the like but they feel like the car is always on ice. Grip is there but you've got no idea what the wheels are doing.

Wear:

Cant comment, had about 8mm on when i got the car and covered 250 miles in them, still had 8mm left.

Comfort:

Actually pretty good, soft sidewalls are good for comfort as they add to the cars dampening, just not in a way anyone should want.

Wet Grip:

Utterly horrific and borderline illegal its so poor. The RX8 has very little torque and yet was spinning the rear wheels with very little effort in a straight line on a good surface. The back end broke loose in a straight line too which ive never had in any car. Any throttle input on the car that was not inch perfect began to create a slide. Now this is great fun on a car park at 2am but not on the M1 in rush hour.

Wet braking:

Again, extremely poor. The cars squirms around as though the brakes are not all acting with equal power. Back end tried to brake out too. Stopping distance was scary and more than once at a 30mph stop I was having to apply much more pressure than I should be doing at those speeds with ABS going nuts.

Replaced the Yokohama Advan 105'S and the difference is staggering. Braking distances are several metres shorter in both dry and wet conditions.

I looked up progressiveness before I answered that question to make sure I got it right. My S-Max is loaded with samples and I drive 1000 miles a week. There are occasions I'm working the tires to their limit, and they haven't failed me to date. I find their responsiveness, grip in all weathers, and the feel that they offer belies their cost and "budget" rating. I've just put the third set of JU61 tires on, achieving 30k miles of "pushed driving" for a set of four. I was only getting 32k on Goodyears at twice the price!!! For a heavy car I can't recommend these JU61's enough. A great tire. :)

HI there. I've using them on my 2008 Galaxy for last 58000 miles and they still at 3mm. Really good ones for heavy car. 225/50r17 Z Extra Load. At current they loosing a bit when wet so i decided to get new ones for next season. I did front/back swaps each 15000miles to get even wear and i keep them bit harder than recommended pressure to get better feedback. I'm very impressed overall as they were for 45 quid each and can say it loud: OM michelin energy saver i had before was overpriced rubbish (in grey colour - not even black) to compare.

I've had these on the front axle of my MG ZT for the past 18000 miles. The GT Champiro HPYs on the back axle have worn out already whilst the Jinyus still have about 4mm tread left. This surprised me, as it's a FWD car. Anyway, my general impression has been mixed. They're not bad in the dry; my main observation is that the sidewall is quite soft so the turn in isn't quite as crisp as it was with the old tires (Landsail LS988, another set of budgets which were on the front wheels when I bought the car).

The wet grip is a different story. I won't use the overused term 'lethal', as in reality I just adjust my driving style to suit the lack of wet grip, but, understeer is ridiculously easy to induce and pulling away in the wet at anything quicker than normal, it'll spin the wheels. Admittedly this isn't usually a big issue, but part of my commute involves pulling onto a NSL/60MPH road from stationary from a very short sliproad; this can be interesting in the wet....

Aquaplaning resistance seems fine, although they're a bit on the noisy side. I wouldn't buy them again, but they're not THAT bad.

So far so good. Significantly less tramlining than the Kumho KU39s that they replaced. A bit noisier but then this is a rumbly car and that's life. Haven't tried them in proper wet conditions but in the dry they feel very good indeed.

Excellent tires running on V6 Saab convertible. No issues at all with these, they are wearing, but at the price, I'll just buy some more when they hit 3mm. Fitting my other car with these following the winter tire season

Good tire, happy with performance in wet and dry. After 12,000 miles the fronts are 50% worn, rears are 15% worn but the Outlander is a bit front-heavy and we have a steep driveway, so wear is in-line with other tire brands. I run 38 psi all round which gives good feedback and even wear across the tire. Would definitely consider replacing with same tires again.

Driving about 1000 miles a week it's fair to say I appreciate good tires, and at the price these are the best I've had! The vehicle is a 7 seat Ford SMax and I've tested them to the limit! I did swap front to back and back to front in order to maintain even wear, but throughout their life I would say they gave me the best of service. As they stand all four are down to the wear indicators and they handled the heavy rain on the M6 and A Roads admirably. I would and have recommended this tire without hesitation.

very good tire on dry BUT causes car to tram line.lethal in wet weather they dont dispurse water quick enough

I am a spirited driver and although I have a people carrier(as well as another little toy)these tires are great in the dry and comfortable and quiet,in the wet they are also excellent,I will definitely buy these tires again.

I've got YU63's on my ZT and had both YU61 on my Accord and yu61 on a Rover 75.

Great tires for the money and much better than some premium brands. Not quite as good as Avons but great tires. Best from China for sure.

im a fan of jinyu tire

very good tire compare to toyo,west lake …


Excellent grip both dry and wet,no noise
