These are not good tires. I would suggest that those who state that any tire can be made to spin have completely missed the point. Too much driver attention is directed towards controlling the tires limited grip and their limit is passed well within normal road speeds. There are much better tires available within the same price range. Avoid these.
These tires were on the first FTO I brought. In the dry they weren't too bad, but in the wet it was like driving on ice. Car would wheel spin when moving off, braking was shocking as wheels would just lock up. These tires are dangerous in the wet, avoid at all cost. The people giving these tires decent reviews have obviously never had decent tires.

Absolutely deadly.
These were on the front of my Honda Civic Type R when I bought it.
The weather was good when I bought my car, so I didn't realise quite how lethal the tires were until I pulled out of a T-junction in the wet... I was literally spinning the wheels in every gear up to 4th before it eventually got traction - and this was not a one-off.
In dry conditions, they are OK-ish, and as some else said, they are acceptable when warmed up, but I genuinely don't think this tire should be sold in any country where it rains!!
DO NOT BUY THIS TYRE.
I think some people need driving lessons, you can get any tire to slide in the wet if you try. There is not a lot wrong with Autogrip tires, I have 4 205/50/17s on my Peugeot 307 2.0 HDI and they are as good as any tire that's been fitted before if driven sensibly,tires are only as good as the driver.
To the reviewer stating there's nothing wrong with these tires, you must drive a 1.0L on dry straight roads all day!
I bought a set of wheels that came with these tires. All 6mm tread. At the time it was dry and the tires were not too bad. But to my surprise one wet and windy day, I was able to spin my front wheels in 2nd and 3rd gear! These tires are not made for wet. They are poor. Road noise is also very bad due to these Chinese death rings being so hard.
Absolutely nothing wrong with these tires. They're cheap, last a long time, and work perfectly well. People who give them a bad rating obviously can not drive very well.
I used these on a civic type r ep3 on track days, lol. The rubber compound is really hard, which explains the very poor wet grip. But they do hang on in the dry, they are actually OK once they're warm. I'm usually one of the faster hot hatches on track days, and the instructors laugh when I show them the £45 Kwik fit specials. The rubber compound is perfect for dry tracks, forget it if it's damp. Just don't go out.
They do however squeal very loudly, so loud in fact I was pulled in :)
Fit to a road car, forget it, but cheap track dry rubber, hmmmmmmmm.
These tires were on my car when I bought it from a private seller who stated that as it was his wife's car, and she used it for school runs etc, that he maintained the car well etc. I can only think that he took the decent tires off before I got the car, and left me with these banana skins.
Living in the Lake District I have plenty of wet weather and winding roads to negotiate....I think the old lady in the black circles ad must have had these on her e36, great for drifting on an empty road....SUICIDE BY RUBBER in any other circumstance.
I do not recommend these for rear wheel drive cars at all, drive on bare rims as opposed to using these seriously. I have lost grip countless times sub 30mph on bends, roundabouts manhole covers etc. The only saving grace of these is they last forever, I I often wondered what happens to the old plastic soldiers...I think they use them to make these.
These tires are completely awful. I have them on a 05 fiesta ST the tires came with the car but they will be coming off as soon as possible. On dry roads they can't put down any power so my acceleration is a fight of throttle control trying to prevent wheel spin. Today on wet roads twice the car has slid out at the back end at junctions. These tires are simply dangerous!

I had to have a tire replaced due to a puncture and this was all the mobile fitter could get. Initially I thought it was fine then I went into a bend in the wet and the car slid sideways and I mounted a bank. I was not going too fast !
This tire is lethal.
Wear I can't comment on as it lasted 2 weeks before I changed it.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this tire and there should be a law against this rubbish being sold

These came fitted to the front of my car when I bought it. I can honestly say I've never driven on a worse tire. In the 7 months and 7-8000 miles they were fitted, they didn't seem to wear at all, and I'm not surprised as they felt like they were made of solid plastic based on the grip levels they provided. Even at medocre speeds on a dry country road, the front end would start to wash out alarmingly early. On a wet road it was even worse. I had absolutely no faith in them at all! Heavy braking would bring the ABS into play in all conditions. Noise level was average (it's a pretty loud car) and economy was fine, but I wouldn't touch them again because of the low grip levels.
Also, when I came to replace them (swapped for winter tires) I found, to my horror, that the rubber inside was peeeling and blistering away from the carcass around the sidewalls! This was quite extensive and on both tires, and I can't help but wonder if it would have eventually lead to a blowout. Neither I nor my tire fitter have ever seen anything like it. Either way, they both got binned despite having 5+mm of tread left on them.
