Mercedes Benz E250 CDI (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I bought a 2014 E Class with this set of tires, the previous owner installed them. At first, I was pretty skeptical about this set of tires because I never heard of Petlas before. Now, that being said, I was extremely impressed with both dry grip and wet grip for this brand. Handling is decent for a set of tires like this, and comfort is relatively good, except the fact that they are a bit noisy over 100 kmh. I drove these tires in basically all conditions, with a combined driving style (both aggressive, cruising, and city driving). Wear was the biggest jaw-dropper: they lasted for around 31.000 km, and that was just fanstastic. It's not the best set of tires, but it is not the worst either; my verdict is that if you are on a budget, they are can work better than you expect.

The tires are very good for the price class. The handling is good, driving in the wet is stable and feels secure. I've never experienced any aquaplaning with these tires and I drove in heavy rain several times on the highway. In the dry they are marvelous - I didn't expect such good behavior considering that this is a cheap tire. Noise levels are moderate to good on quality tarmac with highway speeds. This size is a XL tire - the comfort is slightly less due to reinforcing, but the stability for a heavy car is very good. My previous summer tires were Goodyear Efficient Grip - they are better handling of course, but also more expensive. Subjective noise levels were the same between Goodyear and Petlas.

I’ve has these tires for about 2-3 years now and found them to be really good. Previously I had Bridgestones on the car but I’ve found these Petlas tires to be equally as good. I live on the island of Madeira, which has many steep, narrow winding roads, especially in the mountains and I feel these tires have been excellent for this region. We don’t have a great deal of rainfall during the year, so when it does rain the roads are extremely slippery, so most locals tend to drive carefully but I’ve had no problems with grip driving on rainy days. The wear has also been good and there’s still a good amount of tread left but I’m thinking about buying another set later in the year, as the price for these tires is so reasonable.

Saab Automobile (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 2,000 average miles
Extreme value for money; bought mine Petlas Velox Sport PT741 215/55 ZR16 97W XL for €52,19 each! Tires are stiffer and noisier than y previous ones, mind you these have speed indicator W (V was sufficient, however these were not available in my size) and Extra Load too. You loose on comfort, for the rest superbe (given its price). Turkish manufactured tires, never thought about before, but I gave it a try and they didn't let me down. On the contrary!

Given 100% while driving a BMW X5 3.0 diesel (235/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 3,300 average miles
I used Tirereviews to choose these tires and I don't regret. I have bought them at the beginning of the summer season 2019 for a SUV. The car stayed idle for 2-3 months (probably driven for 300 miles or so during this period), there was no need to balance the tires once we started driving more often. We drove another 3'000 miles after that and everything was fine. The tires felt just normal, no annoying sound, no problems with stability, our car is a 4-wheel drive though. So far I am happy with the tires, given that the roads in Bulgaria are not the smoothest. I would buy again.

Great tire, was skeptical before because of how cheap they. But after 12.000 km I can say without a doubt these are excellent, they don’t wear at all and the grip is excellent both in the dry and in the wet.

Excellent on dry and very good on wet. Also very quiet and good tire wear. I did 25 000 km during 2 summers and still plenty of grip

I would never know how good these tires are. Only heard about them before, and am always skeptical to new or non-European tires. But I bought a big car - Renault Grand Espace - and two of these tires were mounted on it. So decided to buy two more of the same. Their price is cheap, and they act next to perfect. I drive a bit more aggressively, and they respond great. Wet, dry, fast, slow, consumption... No complaints from me.

Given 86% while driving a Toyota MK3 MR2 Roaster (185/55 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 13,000 average miles
Bought a Toyota MR2-Spyder with these (185/55/15 front & 205/50/15 rear - 2014 product date) 2 years ago fitted with these (unknown to me) tires. From the first date till now (>20.000km) I feel like I own a premium tire. Great dry grip, feel confident on wet roads, comfort even though a little bit noisy & delivering great handling. All these notes result comparing to tires on other (different style approach) Toyotas such as Avensis, Auris & Yaris fitted with Bridgestones Turanza T001, Uniroyal Rain Expert, Vredestein Sportrac 5, Dmack EcoXtra, Matador MP16 Stella2. Last week I bought a set of 4 for 175€ for my Yaris because the previous ones (Riken Maystorm 2 B2-lasted less than 20.000km) were unacceptable to dangerous. I noticed a great difference on handling/road resistance & even fuel economy (

Given 83% while driving a BMW 320 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 25,000 spirited miles
The tires are excellent. I bought them after the suggestion of my father and father-in-law who both had the these tires on their cars. Now I have placed the same tires to my wife's car. The tires have excellent grip in dry and wet conditions. I cannot understand much of a difference over the Goodyear and Continental tires that I had previously. Unfortunately, the tires are noisy. You can feel the difference in noise with the first ride. I have done more than 40.000km on high speed and country roads mostly and the tires still have at least 15.000km without being illegal. For the everyday driving you cannot go wrong for the price.
