Im lucky to have bought these tires for my Honda Vezel RU3 2015;
Overall these tire are competitively priced as compared to the Dunlops (factory fitted), these tires are silent and much softer than the stock dunlops, very light on the vehicle, im enjoying the drive.
The grip factor is very nice, being a summer performance tire, the UTQG rating is; Treadwear 320, Traction A, Temperature A with speed rating upto 270kmph, therefore driving on piping hot tarmac at 129kmph the car never felt sluggish around the curves.
I have so far driven these tires inter city, locally and driven up the north hills aswell, so after after driving 15000kms+ the tires are still as brand new as the day one. I keep them rotated every 10000kms with air pressure 33psi.
I'll admit these are much in my budget and user friendly tires. Would definitely buy them again.

Ok firstly i only do around 3000 miles pa.
so i did not want to buy expensive tires, if i was loaded then i would have got th Uniroyal rainsport 3.
I am very happy with these, I have a 225bhp car, so it can be very quick.
Very happy with the feel and control of these.
Chuffed as, plus I got 4 for £150 delivered. fantastic

For the money great value. I wouldn't buy them if you were a high mileage person. I can judge that my set will require replacing before 20k. Giving me 3 years.

I've had these tires fitted for around 2 weeks now and they seem to do a decent enough job. Noise and comfort is good and I have, so far, had no problems with grip or handling. I don't think I would be fully confident if I was pushing the car hard with these tires, but at this point, they seem like good value for money.

Recently installed in my Mercedes C250, replacing Michelins, honestly i don't feel any big difference in the drive quality.
Comfort is very good
Noise is also very low
So far no complain on the grip
I would definitely buy them again.

After less tha 15.000 Kilometers the car sarted to "rumble". It turned out that a big bubble had appeared on the inside of 1 tire. I was lucky it did not explode. Never ever buy these tires, they are dangerous!!!

I bought these tires based in their rating on this site and a combination of their EU label rating, mainly noise. They seem to have a great overall rating in all of the above.
I am generally happy with them in the dry. Although in near-limit grip situations they don't feel too confident, but they don't have to at this price range either.
My most critical opinion has to do with their wet behavior. While they perform OK as long as you never land in an emergency situation, I have been surprised quite a few times as they have lost traction under acceleration in as high as 3rd gear and I don't mean an aggressive acceleration by any means.
Verdict: If you are a confident driver, with a well handling car, behave yourself in traffic and are looking to save money on tires I would consider these.
But if you are not interested risking driving with tires that have quite scary wet handling behavior at times, then please go for something else. Drive safe.

Superior wet performance to Kumho! Soft tires with slightly less life in them than Ecsta HS51s, but a substantial change in driving terrain might be a contributor. Huge exterior groove seems to make them very resistant to slipping in the wet - be careful with frame ramps, they tend to catch.
Had them on the front with a set of part-worn (~5mm) Ecsta HS51s on the rear and so far that seems the perfect setup on my car.

It was cheapest tires of that size in my coutry. Usually I don't buy chinese tires, but this was for my weekends car. And I was impressed of them! They balanced ok, grips good in dry and wet. Only disadvantages was that they stinked first month and they were noisy at first, but became quieter after few tousends km. But it's not those things in which you should look when buing cheapest tires. Diven about 5000-10000km this summer, I think they will last at least 2-3 summers more.
I can't understand why spend 4-5 times more for famous brands or buy old, restored, repaired, damadged used tires for the same price? Nowadays China makes phones better than western countries, so why they can't make a good tire?

When reading other reviews about these tires I notice that some people are putting them on high performance vehicles. If you have a high performance vehicle you need high performance tires. These are NOT high performance tires.
I believe they are the perfect solution for everyday driving/commuting on normal vehicles. I own a 2009 Kia Rio 1.5 CRDi and so far these tires perform incredibly well for budget/mid range tire.
Road noise is very low and the grip in both wet and dry conditions is incredible and in my opinion the best I've owned in this range of tire.
If you own a low performance run about like me, then I would highly recommend these tires, but if you own an M3, Impreza, Evo, etc, then look elsewhere at the likes of Michelin or Pirelli's as those cars deserve, and need, to be running on the best tires money can buy.

Bought these tires as I didn't want to spend money on big brands, they were about £25 cheaper than the bottom end of branded and £25 more expensive than a top of the range budget, in all honesty, up until this point I had always believed a tire is a tire.
However, I had two put on the rear and this tire is awful on this car, they are so flimsy on the sidewall that the car at speeds above 60mph felt unstable, past 80mph the car can barely keep in a straight line, you are constantly correcting the steering to prevent it from snaking. It basically feels like you are stuck in a heavy crosswind.
Only driven in the dry because I've made blackcircles take them back on the account of it being dangerous to drive. The turn in response is awful and the twitchiness is overwhelming.
Swapped the wheels from front to rear (which have old Michellin PS3's on) and the car was restored, rear end was responsive and tight again, but of course, the steering feel was like stirring a bowl of porridge.
Overall: Rubbish - Do not put these on your car unless maybe you're driving something like a Daihatsu or a Dacia Duster and have no interest in motoring.
