The tire has no sound and no noise, it is perfect for the person looking for comfort tires, no noise and sound. But the brake of this tires is really very bad.

Purchased in Jan 2020 as my 2 front tires and 22K miles later they need replacing ! Too soft and evenly worn to the legal limit - not great wear on these !

Given 70% while driving a Kia Motors Rio (195/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 28,000 average miles
having read ALOT of reviews about these tires before buying them in january 2021, I had a good idea what to expect. I have to say for the first couple hundred miles i thought I had made a terrible mistake as they felt hard and slipy on the road, but they soon wore in and have been very good tires. overall they have been good. they have worn well and kept straight on the road. good handling at all speeds although I never went more than 100mph. grip is not so good in the wet than the dry but if you not racing or rallying and driving sensibly they are absolutely fine. I would certainly buy these again if I can find a set. I would not recommend these tires for hard/fast driving. I'm only changing these tires as i have about 2mm left on the tread.

Given 61% while driving a Toyota Avensis (215/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I am happy with the tires in terms of very good comfort, quiet. I have run normally, and not very high speed and very good response. The downside is that they wear out very quickly! After driving about 7-8000 km, the tread depth is now 4 mm! I have these tires on the front wheels, and another brand on the rear wheels. Maybee i can drive 12-13000 km total? (Then I take into account the pattern depth of 1.6 mm.) If i want to drive safely, I will probably replace the tires when the tread depth is 3 mm.

Dissapointed. These are cheap, but not worth it. On hot days, you don't even have to go fast, and all you'll be hearing is the tires squeaking while losing grip. That makes them unusable to me as a summer tire.

Given 80% while driving a Kia Motors Rio 5 (185/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 22,360 spirited miles
I got these tires as OEM on my 2020 KIA Rio Hatchback. I previously had a 2019 Rio with the same tires. Did over 9,000 miles on the 2019, but have so far done 22,360 miles on the 2020, and they are in great condition still. The Dry performance continues to be great for an H rated tire, I don't drift or do burnouts (only 100 HP) so i dont't know how that would go LoL. What i can say for sure is the car tracks dead straight, and doesn't go wandering with every road imperfection (vertical cracks). The tires will tell you exactly what kind of tarmac you are on (audible) but does not make a sound on their own (smooth tarmac is whisper quiet with windows up). My car has numb steering so the sound is helpful. When new, you can easily go twice as fast in the rain on a smooth highway compared to others (i never went above 110 km in the rain), but naturally in a thunderstorm, you better go based on visibility and common sense. Had to pull a 4" nail once from a front left (passed an inner city furniture shop way too often, it was a shortcut), but the tires only kept losing pressure for weeks but never flattened or blew out, till i realized it was in there (doing 75 MPH regurlarly). I only needed to get it plugged. Very safe tires. I've even gone "off-road" in them, dirt tracks and rocky rain-damaged country roads, no cracks or nothing. Tuff tires for the money. The wet traction will not be as good as the tread goes down (simple physics), but the car still behaves predictably and has never snapped. I only rotated criss cross after 9,000 miles. I know, i just forgot dealerships don't rotate them for you (went to a tire shop when i saw the front in-tread sipes disappear). Please note, they are bi-directional, but have an inside and outside wall, so pay attention. To prolong tires, make sure to have them "oiled", and rebalanced during rotation. Don't be cheap just because the tires are. Also, you can tell how the water drainage goes by how deep the sound of the water is. High pitch is minimal water, but deeper pitch means too much, so slow down. But if you're in a luxury vehicle, you may not hear anything so....good luck with that. I may have to choose a different tire when these go off, mainly because they may be hard to find, and i want better tread life expectancy, as these are UTQG 360. Still, if that's average for AA traction then i guess not bad. I will buy again if i can find them newly made AND the price is still low (for e.g. the 185\65\R15 is a US$70 tire (don't overpay). In case you're wondering, i'm driving these in JA, which has some of the oldest roads ever, tires go through a lot, when not on the highways.

Fiat (195/55 R15) on mostly town for 1,000 miles
I bought the tires on the recommendation of my vulcanizer. I must mention that I reviewed the reviews after that and they helped me a lot to choose a set of these tires for my car. My first impression is that the tires are quiet, comfortable and very affordable. I drive mostly city and intercity driving. The tires are new and I drove them mostly in the dry, once they were driven in the rain and I have to say I am happy with how they behave. When I do more kilometers I will be able to say something more about tires. So far I am very satisfied and would buy them again.

Tire's done 8000 miles, all 4 cracked on the tread allover. MOT failure apparently. Still got 5mm of tread left out of the 8mm when New. Going back to the dealer next week to be changed for Avon tires. Do Not buy .

Given 97% while driving a SEAT Ibiza 1.4 Sportrider (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 1,000 miles
Awesome summer tires. Bought a new pair, mounted on rear axle. These are now made in Czech Republic but same are like those I had from S.Korea. These are not V-indexed, only H, and labeled B+C but 66dB, perfectly quiet tires!! Top comfort for harder trimmed car like my Ibiza. ...Ran with them about 1000 km, for now are excellent. I will buy it again and again,good price, good tire!

Suzuki Splash SZ4 (185/60 R15) on mostly town for 17,000 average miles
After 3 years and 25.000km, the braking distance has deteriorated and the handling in slippery tarmac needs attention.They haven’t become dangerous, not at all. But It seems that they are a little less durable than the average norm. I read on this site that the Chech made version of this Tire isn’t as good. Since the ones available were Chech made, I finally opted for the Kleber Dynaxer 4.

I had two sets of Michelin energy before and Nexen since 2015 and still going on. For a smooth ride they are excellent, quiet and comfortable and i never get in trouble in the wet, braking is always save. Maybe best buy for the money, if you are not a sporty driver.
