Everything is as anticipated from their price tag but the most dangerous thing is their braking performance on wet road. You really dont want to panic break on a set of those. Very scary! Other than that, they are a decent cheap solution.

What drivers say about their 155/70 R13 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
These tires have so much grip, that the human brain cannot resist such lateral acceleration. And I am not exaggerating.
As you can see in the attached photo, I raced a slalom last week with my Renault Supercinq GTR.
Due to the tremendous acceleration, I was instantly knocked out and I have just woken up again 5 minutes ago.
They even tell me that I didn't finish last in the slalom... I don't know if it's true or not, because I was unconscious.
In every case, here you have the link to my run in the slalom:

Reasonably grippy and precise in the dry for a touring tire. Poor grip by current standards in the wet giving heavy and abrupt understeer in slippery conditions.
Prone to rapid wear if driven briskly in summer. Reasonable rolling comfort but overall a dated and unexceptional performer. Would not buy again.

I bought 2 nos of mrf company Tire for my four wheeler car and it has been around 3 months and this Tire got cut and I haven't got replacement. So please improve the quality of tire not in a share market. Mrf company Tire have not any kind of quality. After buying Tire of mrf it is too dengerous. It's totally waste of money. This company is very disgusting. also I will not buy MRF company Tire in future and I will advise about this Tire don't buy this company Tire.
Nearing 2500km with these tires. The main issue has been for me the wet performance. I am already a cautious rider, mostly riding casually and these tires on wet surfaces force me to be even more careful. It gets even worse with a pillion. The fact that I have to watch out for the tire rather than the opposite is pretty annoying in itself. Coming from almost 6000km on Anakees to these felt like a downgrade.
The dry performance on the other hand feels good but there is a caveat, building up heat somewhat feels longer compared to most other brands' tires. So, if you want to throw your scooter around for some fun, you need to ready the tires first properly.
In terms of comfort, as long as you stick to the recommended pressures, they carry you well. I live in a city with a pretty bad asphalt maintenance and they held up well so far in this regard.

Overall a good tire. Even when pushed ( snowdrifitng ) the handling stays predictable. Defining characteristic is the tendency of understeer in all conditions (cant tell if its due to the car or tire).
This tire likes cool temperatures. Handles snow, wet or just overall cold dry tarmac well. Understeer starts to appear above 20°C. Around 30°C it has apparent understeer..
Can recommend it to anyone who is just commuting with the car, does want to feel safe even in the winter but the yearly mileage does not justify having 2 sets of seasonal tires. Especially now that there is barely any proper winter this is a great choice.

I bought a second car for errands and they were fitted already on it. They were almost brand new so I didn't change them immediately. In the first few months they were average although wet grip was bad. After a year or so they began to lose traction on wet roads with only 10-20 km/h. I finally changed them after I crashed on the highway during an emergency stop as they couldn't stop the car on time and made me crash on the car in front of me. After putting the new tires on and fixing the damages I realized how uncomfortable, noisy and bumpy they were. The car now feels silky smooth compared to before. The only positive thing with them is that they didn't seem to wear at all. Definitely stay away. Good tires are cheaper than fixing damages from a crash.
Good in the wet, but very dangerous in dry roads. Never bye again.
