Jaguar (275/45 R20 W) on mostly motorways for 100 average miles
I went to purchase my usual Landsail tires that I've had for a number of years and always found them very good value for money but the dealer did not have them and sold me 2 radar tires for £180.
4 days and 70miles later my wheels were removed for a refurb and I was amazed the inside of tire had a bulge all around the inner edge. I had not merged it or anything like that. Went back to the garage who advised that all they could do was fill out a form but radar will claim it's my fault and the claim will be rejected. I changed back to Landsail. If anyone offers you these tires do not accept them. Awful tires with awful customer service.

Given 77% while driving a BMW 120d (205/50 R17 N) on for 8,000 average miles
I have used these run flats on the front of my bmw 120d for about a year and have just bought 2 more for the rear which says it all really. These replaced bridgestones which I have used for about 7 years and were indistinguishable in usage. After about 8k miles the fronts are down to 5.5-6mm which I am quite happy with.

started off really positive. Grip and traction was not too far off the previous Michelin Primacy HP that were fitted on as standard. The tire noise was slightly elevated to the Primacy, however after 2 months the tire roar became a joke! it was ok around town but get past 40mph and on up to motorway speeds it became an all consuming torture! it sounded like my tires were rubbing on the arches - would avoid these like the plague. you get what you pay for. coming off after 2 months and fitting the Michelin back on again. The manufacturers put them on for a reason.

Given 34% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLK 320 CDI (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
Bought a Mercedes CLK 320 CDI with these fitted to the rears and can honestly say they are the worst tire in the wet andem with a not much better in the dry. Replaced them with a pair of Michelin PS4. I can't imagine why people think cheap tires a good economy.

Given 63% while driving a Ford Falcon xr6 (245/30 R20) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Bought these tires just as a cheap alternative for my XR6 Falcon, the car is only driven maybe once a week as I have a company car. For the price compared to major name brand tires, I am loving them! They handle well in dry conditions, they're not noisy, as with all cheaper tires if you put your foot to the floor in the wet they spin (kind of expect that with most tires!).

Overall they are great value for money if you don't want to spend big $$$$ on name brand tires.

In dry conditions it's ok. But it wet... If you drive like a granny, it's ok. But if you push accelarator pedal harder, the DSC indicator starts blinking.. If you drive in corner harder, the car stability system starts to working too. Without stability systems on, I fear to drive with these tires in wet conditions. There's much rain in Lithuania, so it was a not very cheap, but bad choise for me..

Given 75% while driving a Volvo V70 2.5 T awd (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 800 spirited miles
Got these after Michelin Primacy 225/45 17W. Radar is cheap, comfort and quiet. Havent drive much with these so dont know about how long these will last but so far just positive feelings. There was MUCH more tramling when driving Michelins. Sure, Michelins were worn tires and Y speed but anyway: car was tramling quite baddly with Mich´s but no tramling at all with Radars.

I havent got any problems with grip in any conditions, not even in cold, rainy conditions. In wet road conditions i could keep same speed in hard turns than i drove those curves with Michelin.

Volvo aint a sport car so i dont drive it at the limit but the limit comes via car, not via tires in this case.

I give "thumbs up" for Radar.

Best value for your money you can get.
Handles well even on wet roads (that's always my fear at cheap tires).
But it is a little bit noisy - ECE Label is for sure not true.
I drive them on a 735i E65, fast on the German Autobahn, but slower on curvy roads.
Price was less than 30% of first class brand and 50% of Korean brand.

Given 57% while driving a Lexus LS430 (245/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 35,000 spirited miles
Dealer fitted these new when I bought a used Lexus LS430. Very quiet and grippy when new, but less good as they became worn. With 280 bhp on the rear wheels they became very slippery in the wet after about 25000 miles, even with 4mm tread remaining. Changed rears for Michelins and problem solved. Front ones have now done 35000 miles and still have 4mm tread left. Grip and road holding still seems fine, but they are becoming increasingly noisy including rhythmic sound like a wheel bearing going (it isn't, I've had it checked by Lexus who diagnosed tire noise). Will change fronts for Michelins soon.
