These tires wore out in 20,000kms. Not bad in the wet, had a few aquaplaning tendencies. Dry grip was good. Very disappointed with how fast they wore out though.

i have a volvo s80 2.5 diesel, i had continentals on the front before i put these wanli tires on and to be honest the wanli are a better tire, i do a good 50 mile a day on different roads and have pushed the tires to the limit on wet bends and have never lost grip, i would recommend these tires as the cost is reasonable aswell as the grip bothe dry and wet and there isnt a great deal of road noise either, when we had the snow a couple of weeks ago i didnt get stuck once, so even snow driving is a pleasure with these tires on.

Nothing wrong with these tires!
I have had them on my car since September 2012 & they are fine. I do a 60 mile round trip each day to work & dont notice them being any different to the Michelins which were on my car previously.
The Wanli S1063 is very good value for money & to be honest are not as cheap and nasty as some reviews lead you to believe, In fact the tread pattern on these tires is actually an old Pirelli design!!! Just because the S1063 cost less it doesn't make them an inferior or unsafe tire.

Buy Wanli tires at your peril, fitted all new tires to my Van and after 10 weeks started hearing bearing noise, after taking it to my local garage they noticed that the tires had uneven wear causing it to rumble. A waste of £485.

I had this tire fitted on my Vauxhall Vectra SRi, in the main because of the value of a Tireshopper offer. Having never heard of this brand I checked the reviews and discovered they were rated higher than the Avon ZV3s previously fitted.

I am a Class 1 Police driver and will push my progress a little. These tires provide remarkable grip in the dry but are not 'winter' tires, so when the temperature drops below 7 degrees you will experience their performance diminishing. THIS WILL BE TRUE OF ALL NON 'WINTER' TYRES whatever the brand/cost. So change your driving manner to accomodate especially between October to March as a yardstick.

I have replaced the front pair after 27K and the rear are just getting down to the legal limit having been on the car in excess of 40K.

Recent negative reviews are in the main from BMW drivers. I drive BMWs in my work and these are unique vehicles that demand very specific components (including parts other than tires) to meet the performance set up. For example "run flat" tires are rubbish in even the lightest snowfall on a heavy rear drive vehicle.

I will be buying the Wanlis again and would recommend to anyone with the caveat; you ammend your driving to the weather conditions whatever tire is fitted. Temperature has a big effect on tire performance.

Happy driving

After buying a Volvo with these fitted to the back, I was apprehensive after reading reviews, and intended on changing them, but kept putting it off. Now I wouldn't even trust them to have enough grip to park the car on a hill in the rain...

Finally changed the rears to match the Kumhos I had on the front after leaving the road backwards on a wet, gradual bend. I was driving at a safe distance behind 2 similar sized cars at a steady 30-35 mph on a wet B road. £1000 worth of damage but luckily nobody hurt, and every other car seemed to get around that bend fine, even at much faster speeds.

The Wanlis still had 5mm tread all across their width, but the rear of the car broke away during gentle driving. For all those reviewers getting high and mighty about driving skills and attitudes, I am an advanced driver, have trained on skidpans and drive many miles in a 50 year old car so braking distances and cornering speeds are naturally kept in mind.

Ask yourself this, why are many taxi drivers in China not insured to drive when it rains?

My local independent garage [well respected on the Wirral] use Wanli as one of their budget tire brand options. First had Wanli fitted 45000 miles back after my Mondeo had eaten its way through two sets of Dunlop SP1 in 19000 miles and 18000 miles respectively [front and back at edge of legal limit]. The Wanli tires fitted to the front managed 34000 miles before requiring replacing in April 2012, the rear tires are coming off this weekend on a little over 45000 miles as they have reached the legal limit. To be fair I am not an aggressive driver as I have had the pleasure of working in a morgue and know what mangled corpses of people who get it wrong look like after a severe accident, however, I can safely negotiate challenging minor roads local to me at 40 and 50 mph in damp slippery conditions with Wanli tires fitting, without barrel rolling into a field or hedge or suffering any noticeable understeer compared with premium tires. It is a simple question of talent and understanding the limitations of your vehicle and appreciating the salient road conditions, these are not winter tires either, so below 7 degrees all summer tires begin to suffer from traction reduction. Are the Wanli tires dangerous, no, not even slightly! Are some talentless oafs in powerful executive sports cars, miserable frustrated parents in people carriers and fools in pointless 4x4’s dangerous, undoubtedly.
In short, it is not Wanli tires that should not be on Britain’s roads.

I picked up a new (to me) car with four almost-new Wanli S-1063 tires fitted. Having read various online reviews which suggested my first encounter with a wet roundabout would have me sliding backwards into a ditch, I was ready to drive straight to my tire shop and junk them for four new tires. I even had people suggest to me that four part-worn 'premium' tires would be a better choice.

I can only surmise that people are judging these tires because they're made in China and without any personal experience. Remember, people used to this with Japanese (and then Korean) cars, which are now considered among the most reliable and well-built in the world.

I find them very grippy in the dry, and adequate in the wet if you're taking extra care (which most of us will anyway). Heavy acceleration in the wet can cause some predictable slippage, and they probably won't pull up quite as quickly under heavy braking as other brands. That said, I've never found them 'dangerous' once you accept their limitations.

2000 kms done, the tires show very few signs of wear and judging by other reviews I expect these tires to last a long time. They are quite noisy and have stiff sidewalls which means the rise might be firmer than on softer tires, but I've never found the road noise overly instrusive.

Im summary, I'd say that they offer 80% of the performance of a premium tire for half the price. They are probably not the ideal tire for high peformace cars or those who demand ultimate grip in the wet, but for the rest of us I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Bought for front of car, good sensible tire for average driver, was a lttle slippy the first 800 miles due to releaseing agent, but after that fine grip. A bit noiser then expected, but generally a good tire.

Not recommended for boy racers.

I had 4 Wanli S1063 fitted 5000 km ago , previously Yokohama's , cannot feel the difference , roadholding is excellent , roadnoise normal.

They came with a new set of alloys i bought , they seemed ok in the dry but in the wet they were lethal, i took traction control off just to see how bad they were and even under moderate power i couldnt keep a straight line so if anybody wants set for the taken away get in touch the were on my car for less than 500 hundred miles, complete waste of money

BMW 330 - Continentals on the front about half worn, new Wanali S 1063s on the rear (came on some wheels I bought). The car is totally unbalanced. In the dry the rear feels really weird and when pushing on (no where near as hard as the previous Bridgestones) the rear is letting go in a frightening very scary way.
I'm afaid they are coming off for some Continentals and never again for me.
