Don't be tempted to buy these tires! In my opinion they are dangerous, when I brought my car someone had fitted these on the back of it. Being a 4 x 4 SUV type car it's no rocket ship and I don't drive it like a F1 driver either.
These tires are being changed this week, I don't trust them even though they still have about 5 mm left on each tire.
They are very noisy with noise feeding back in to the cabin.
Dry grip isn't so bad but that's where the good ends.
Wet grip is frightening even with 4 x 4 the car slides and the rear end twitches all the time, wet grip is near non existent!
I don't trust these tires and like I said I'm getting rid before the weather gets worse and winter sets in as if it can't grip in the wet what chance have they got in the ice or snow.
Spend a bit more and get a tire that will keep you sunny side up.
Bought these for the front tires nine months ago - ie approx. 7k miles and they are already near the limit. In the wet they feel that they don't have good traction (and I am not a boy racer) as on a hill start they start slipping. In the dry they don't inspire confidence. There are far better cheap Chinese tires like the Landsail that I have on the back wheels.

So i wrote a review on these in May last year and it wasnt exactly positive then. Shame i didnt just get rid of the tires at the time as they have ended up cosing me £940.
Picture the scene a calm british summers evening, so invariably it has been raining and after a long journey across they country i am finally within sight of my destination. The final roundabout of this national speed limit road is ahead, a familiar roundabout that has never caused me isuues in the past. So imagine my surprise when all of a sudden the back end has gone, much sideways action is occuring and a lampost is looming large out of the side window.
It was an upsetting time, but one that could have been easily avoided.
Now replaced with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's to match the fronts.
Better? BETTER!

I live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and bought my Scion TC used in May of 2015. It had two nearly new Autogrip P308 tires, size 215/45 x 17, on the rear, and I have driven about 3800 miles on them since. The front tires had significant wear and I replaced them in October with Hankook ultra high performance tires before the onset of winter. I find the P308 tread pattern similar to the Hankook's, and use them as a year-round tire.
I cannot fully separate the performance of the front and rear tires; however, the car has behaved well on decreasing radius curves as fast as I dared drive, and generally exceeded my expectations. I do not yet see any discernable tire wear, fuel economy has been very good, and the ride has been smooth and quiet. I have driven at sustained speeds of 75 mph, and briefly up to 85 mph. All in all, a decent tire if the price is right.
I bought these tires to replace some Runway Performance 926 tires that had worn badly due to tracking problems, and I have to say the difference is very noticable.
Autogrip P308 in comparison to Runway Performance 926 tires wear better, have a stiffer sidewall, lower road noise, better dry grip and wet grip by a considerable margin and are far more progressive. Also they have a very useful rim lip overlap that protects the rim well from curbing and scuffing. I am well pleased with these tires for the cost vs performance.
However, the Autogrip P308 is not an expensive tire and this shows in several areas. To start the wet highlights the drawbacks in tread and compound; it is slower to stop from speed and corners less well than more expensive brands, however as a budget brand this is understandable, and it still performs very safely.
At high speeds the tire isn't as balanced as it should be, with vibration beginning to set in as you approach an indicated 75mph, however this is mild. For this reason I wouldn't reccomend this tire for fleet car work, but for mixed driving or town work this tire is an excellent compromise.
Grip when cornering is surprisingly good, the feel is progressive and the vehicle controllable as you approach the limit. This is aided by the strong sidewalls which I am genuinely impressed with.
Rolling resistance appears to be very good considering the high dry grip levels, as my fuel economy has actually noticably improved since fitting these tires, while the Runway Performance 926 tires were awful in this regard, I'd say an approximate 5% increase in mixed driving over the last 2500 miles.
Overall I would return to the Autogrip P308 as it really is exceptionally good for the price, but I would always prefer a Hankook or Khumo to these.
Tires gripped as well as any other tires in both dry and wet, with average comfort. Wear was a bit quicker than Pirellis used previously.

Done 3600 miles city style driving. Under a rainy storm on the A2 I felt I had to slow down and I did -> (sensation of "planning"), overall a very good value.
I am more than pleased with these tires, can't believe the price almost half the price of a premium tire. I don't push the car to the limits but do drive it quite hard. Wet performance is great no spins outs or slips or a feeling it will let go. Dry is also very predictable and do not notice any noise difference from the goodyears they had replaced. Will defo buy these again. Too soon to judge wear rate but as these are almost half the price I can afford to change these more regularly.
I was surprised -- pleasantly surprised -- at the quality and road feel of these tires. I would buy them again, and still am surprised at their excellent value to price.
Had these on the back of the ZT car came with them which is the only reason they are there really. If you enjoy crazy sideways lift off oversteer action these are the tires for you. Truely scary in the wet, noisy and unresponsive in the dry.
Was wanting to get rid of them for ages but even after 12000 miles they weren't wearing. The assumption is that they are made from the same plastic they make cheap household goods from, you know the sort, that nasty hard shiny stuff...
Anyway i digress, dont put a price on your safety. Buy decent tires.
