Review Summary
Based on 30 user reviews
Drivers describe the Triangle SporteX TH201 as a budget-friendly tire with acceptable dry grip and generally comfortable, quiet ride quality. However, a large share report very poor wet traction-often calling it unsafe-with understeer, sliding and hydroplaning concerns, plus limited high-speed stability and weak wet braking. While a minority of high-scoring reviews praise its value and adequate all-weather performance, the prevailing sentiment warns that the TH201 is best for conservative, dry-weather driving.
Strengths
- Low price/value
- Dry grip/handling (for the price)
- Ride comfort/low noise
Areas for Improvement
- Very poor wet grip and cornering
- Unstable at speed and under wet braking
Top 3 Triangle SporteX TH201 Reviews
Not so great in the cold/wet, felt like i was driving on pvc/plastic at higher revs.
If you have a smaller hp car e.g a corolla and you're tight on cash should be fine.
If you have a higher hp car and or drive spirited in the wet, these tires are a bad idea.
If you live in a city with minimal rain that is warm, this might be a great value tire.
I also have these tires installed on a 2007 subaru legacy gt... same experience, but less skittish in the wet due to awd.

Wet grip is awful, max safety speed on wet surface is about 100-110 km/h
Breaking on dry is not good
Breaking on wet is terrible
Overall, it's good for this price and driving normally. However, driving faster than 200 km/h is bad.
In my case on 9j ET33 rims on it these tires are smaller than the other brands -_-
Will change them on a newer model TH202 or CS7
These Triangles were fitted as new on the car when I picked it up. Initial impressions of dry grip were actually quite positive. I didn't push the car to its limits and so I didn't experience any issues. Likewise I found them a bit quieter than some premium brands I'd experienced when test driving other cayennes prior to buying mine.
In the wet however, it's a different story. The first hint that they might not be much good was when I had to drive up a damp and greasy driveway. The 4WD system shuffled the power around trying to find some grip, but this became an almost laughable process the car really struggled to haul itself up the incline over the course of about 20 seconds of wheel-spinning chaos.
Since then, each time I've driven the car in the wet, I've done so on tip toes. The wet grip on these things is non-existent. Even navigating roundabouts, medium sized bends at normal road speeds results in the car understeering. Faster, less curved bends can result in a disconcerting 'float' as the car loses grip on all corners.
Having owned 70+ cars, I can only think of a couple of times I've bought one and thought 'these tires are dangerous' and I think these Triangles are the most extreme example of this. Avoid at all costs.
I drove 20k km and all 4 tires reached the end of life markings.
Its August right now.
