Admiral 769 225-45-17- Nissan Micra 9,000 miles January 20, 2016
Like many people these weren't my choice, but as they are a pair and near new I left them on.
In the wet they are dangerous! the back end of a small hatch should not be trying to pass the front on something like a roundabout. No wet grip to speak of and absolutely no confidence because they are unpredictable.

I'm worried now by feedback about tires de-laminating and going out of shape after a short period, next payday I'm going to buy anything with a brand I've heard of, even the Bridgestones my car came with were better, and they needed replacing.

Wet grip is terrible, they nearly get you killed.

A cheap terrible tire, the khumo 712 that this is a copy of was a reasonable the.

Simply the worst !

My Mechanic installed 4 tires on my Saab. The front tire broke a bead only months after install. The car was hopping up and down until I replaced the tire.

Admiral 771 215-55-17-R Peugeot 407 Coupe 2,000 miles February 23, 2012
These tires should come with a Goverment Health warning, unless you are doing alot of town driving or are a very sedate driver, stay well clear. Fitted to the front of my car a 407Coupe they made the steering skitish with very little feel in their handling quilities. Dry grip was average but the grip in the wet was deadly, non existant you might say.Although the tire was a 105 tread pattern type not a 771 model is pocesses the same quilities as the other models going from the other reviews of tires from this manufacturer.The only thing in their favor was lack of any real road noise, as for wear I could not judge as they were quickly changed within 2000miles. If you have a Peugeot 407coupe see my review on the Michelin Pilot as these suits this car model perfectly.

Admiral 712 205-50-15- MG MGF NON VVC 4,000 miles January 19, 2012
Without doubt the WORST tires I have ever had on any car.

Had these fitted at £45 a wheel (all in). I know thats cheap, but I still expect a tire to be able to hold its own when dry and in a straight line.

At the time I had a RWD 130BHP MGF and these were put on the rear. After less than 4000 miles they had just 3mm of tread left which is astonishingly poor - I could understand it if they were a very soft compound on a powerful, heavy RWD but 65bhp a wheel is not that much on a car weighing 1000kg.

They span in the dry, the span in the wet (managed snow ok for some unknown reason), they aquaplaned like mad in anything other than a 1mm deep puddle. They lost traction and nearly span me out on a roundabout at 9 mph, 9!!!

Noise was not too bad and to be fair they did feel ok when driving around town in the dry with a smooth ride.

WHAT EVERY YOU DO - DO NOT TOUCH THESE WITH A BARGE POLE LET ALONE YOUR ALLOYS

Tires came with the car. I have done just under 30 000km's with little wear. Very noisey - Tire compound ver hard. Tires shudder under hard cornering. Unsure in the wet. Will be replacing these with NT5000's
