used 6 sets of these tires on the rear of my drift machine(and NOT in a coned parking lot you silly americans, an accual track). let me tell you, they last forever! and if you didnt know already they use these tires in D1. i would highly recommend that you do not use these for the fronts at all, they do not provide enough grip for the needed control in drifting. i tried to use these while on a wet track, took a little bit to get used to and i dropped tire pressure from 54psi to 45psi and that helped a bit plus they lasted even longer on the wet track... man that was a fun day.

Good dry grip once you got them warm, shockingly bad once they were wet... almost dangerous even.

These came fitted on a replacement alloy.
The tire lasted less than a week before a pothole punctured the tread meets the side wall!!
On inspection of the damage there is no wonder this happened... there is hardly any reinforcement used in the side walls and the rubber used is so soft it poses little mechanical protection to being punctured by a stone!!
This would make these tires extremely dangerous if you drove over a piece of debris at 70 on a motorway.
We only ever fit decent brand tires to our vehicles and as such the only times we have had punctures is from nails etc
Avoid cheap tires as you are risking your life!!

Running 235/45R17's on my 2003 BA XR8 Boss Sedan, must say that for their price range their the best I've used, not as good as the Bridgestone Potenza's I've had in the past but that said they cost almost 3 times the price, Personally not a fan of Uni-directional's but these are an exeption. Highly recomended "budget class" tire (competeing with Triangle, Diamondback, Event and Primewell)would I buy them again. You bet I would and thats coming from a tire fitter.

Tire used on Ford focus 1.6 TDCI over 30000km. They give very good respond and handling of the car on dry. This car becomes very well balanced and fun to drive, but on wet they have bad grip. Slippen too soon on especially breaking. Very noisy after they have been used for some time. Changing tire pressure up or down, does not help. Some here recomend them for cold condition, don't. Will I by them again, No.

I have had two sets on my VE SS and done a lot of low altitude flying in wet and dry on Australian highways and sealed / unsealed country roads. Dodged at least 3 big kangaroos in both wet and dry at higher speed - no problems and am not talking 110. Add 40.

They are a bit noisy and will slip around a little in the wet when leaving a set of lights in 1st and second. The same thing happens when turning a corner off a set of lights in the wet. That more than likely has something to do with the foot and the power of the car rather than the tire itself.

I have my car lowered 40 mm and keep a big bag of work gear in the boot over the axle which seems to make it feel stickier than when empty. Also keep the fuel tank full. Have passed trucks on narrow country roads where one side is touching the dirt with no problems but with the traction and stability computer on, the car never feels like it is about to get out of shape.

They seem to be there when most needed and braking doesnt affect thier performance. I change mine when they are just under half tread left.

I have just purchased these for my Mercedes w211 e320cdi, before I was using second hand tires such as bridgestone, dunlop, pirelli, falken 452's, these are just as good I don't understand why these people are giving them bad reviews. firstly and most importantly you have to make sure your suspension is up to standard that means ball joints, lower arm upper arms, tie rod ends, most important no cracked springs or damaged leaking shocks, after that tire pressures have to be precise and tracking alignment then only you can have decent test of tires. these tires are new so are better than used tire with no history. I would rather buy new then get a good brand which some joy rider has abused and run on flat. overall I am satisfied with this product and cannot comment too much as im still testing..

Gripped relatively well in the snow, it has to be said, but they never seem to warm up enough to be grippy in the dry.
And in the wet they are lethal, they stay cold and hard and just give, then viciously bite back when the TC kicks in. No progression, no control, no finesse, not even any good as a drift tire. Pure Ditch Finder AVOID!

I have these on my a3. Running over 200bhp these tires always perform well, even in the winter.

These replaced Hankooks which had good and pregressive wet grip and were put on by the garage as an "equal." They are not. In the dry, they are not too bad but it is too easy move the back end (without trying.) I have been avoiding using the car in the wet (prefering to drive a Fiat Doblo diesel which says it all,) as grip is so-so in a straight line and lateral grip is non-existant. The back steps out no matter how careful you are and, if the back goes too fast, the front will break too - which just never happens on this car. Only 4,000 miles but they will be dumped. Dangerous rubbish.

I dont know how is going on other cars, but on my EVO 8, these tires are poor, on track my evo dirfting at every corner, never grip. i give -10/10.

CRAP, CRAP Rubbish tires, only done a few thousand in my volvo s60 D5. Sounds like all the wheel bearings are knackered. What waste of money. I suggest stay clear of any tires with directional tread.
