135/80 13 Tire Review Highlights

Ovation Ecovision VI 682 rated 71% while driving a Volkswagen (B8) 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
A decent enough tire for most regular use. The wet grip is actually pretty good for a cheaper tire considering the tires for my car are very narrow I've never felt any loss of grip in the wet. Not perfect as feedback could be better but easy enough to tell what the limits are. Fit for purpose in my opinion.

Kumho Solus KH17 rated 54% while driving a Volkswagen (B8) 1.4 TSI (150 Hp) DSG ACT
Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 average miles
I appear to have been very unlucky. A set of four have all gone progressively out of shape after only 10,000 miles and over a relatively short 500 mile interval. It appears that the internal bracing has broken down resulting in bulging of the tread by as much as 5mm. Symptoms included pulling to one side and severe vibration. With over 4mm of tread remaining, I would have expected these tires to last much longer. These particular tires were made in China. A pair of identical tires on another vehicle purchased separately have not yet suffered the same fate and my experience with the same brand, admittedly Korean made 165/60R14H on an i10, has been satisfactory so the issue would seem to be poor quality control.
