Petlas Velox Sport PT711

On my VW Polo 6N GTI the tires look and feel great. When its dry and sunny (hot pavement) the tires stick like glue. When its wet and slippery tho, the car is too light to force the water from under the tires and it gets tricky. They are noisy, but so is the car so ikc. Overall, bang for the buck, i am happy.

Hallo from Italy! I found these tires already fitted on the car as I begun to drive it (the car, a 2005 5-doors Ford Fiesta 55 kw with gasoline engine is not mine), so I can't compare them with other tires previously used on the same vehicle. Despite the "economy" brand, both grip and handling were very good in dry as well as in wet conditions, with good resistance to aquaplaning. Road feedback was equally good, providing a reassurancing feeling of precision and stability for any speed reachable by the car (max about 150 km/h), in both ordinary and emergency/limit conditions. Such positive features were maintained nearly unchanged unitil the end-of-life of the tires (they were replaced as the italian legal limit of 1.6 mm-tread-thickness was approached). The cost of the good grip was a tendentially reduced fuel efficiency; on the other hand, wear was good despite my spirited driving style. The overall comfort was acceptable for the low tires profile (195/45R16) and noise was not particularly disturbing.
In summary: good balanced tires for the fitted car, with a sportive character, however at the cost of a relatively poor fuel efficiency.

Good dry and wet grip. Sportive character. Good value for money. Much better than Chinese budget tires.
