Awful tires,
Came fitted to the car when I bought it and they're coming off asap. No grip in wet or damp conditions and very little grip in the dry.

Appalling in the rain or on wet roads. Slides out on roundabouts with ease. Traction is poor and causes the Traction Control to operate. Won't buy again.

Wrapping plastic bag around the rim would be safer than driving on those tire. I'm sorry I bought them, no grip in wet, what's so ever

great value for money. a lot of mixed views about them which I read before I bought them but I thought i'd risk it and buy 2 for my front. I wasn't disappointed at all and will be buying 2 more for my back they grip well and really look the part and for the same price as budget tires you cant go wrong

Bought on a budget for fast road and track use, couldn't be any better for everyday road use they last for miles (22000) only issue so far the side walls could do with strengthening as they don't like heavy cornering on track.
Thumbs up for plenty of grip and squeal
wet use still just as good if driving normally, pushed they tend to lack grip.
Great tires and on par with the likes of toyo for grip and long lasting.

Recently bought a Mercedes C32 AMG, and the garage had foolishly put these tires on the front for he car to pass its MOT.
These tires are lethal in the wet. One time I almost understeered off a roundabout. Another time in a curved slightly wet tunnel the car completely understeered. Fortunately the front wheel hit the curb pulling the tire off the and destroying the wheel. This saved the side of the car from being wiped out! I was doing a normal speed, nothing dangerous or sporty.

These tires are simply dangerous, and should not be legal. I am going to change them immediately to Goodyears.

I am struggling to understand some of the reviews on here, expecting the worst from these tires, 235/45/17 i was surprised in the lasting and grip of the tires. They were fitted on an audi a4 sport hdi 130, and to say they were driven hard on country roads is an understatment.
I have yet to expierance any loss of grip what so ever, even when racing around bends well in excess of speed limits. I havnt had the oppertunty to test on ice/snow as yet, but apart from maybe being a bit noisey, good all round cheap tire, €275 for pirelli or €75 for these.... goodbye pirelli!!! well at least until i test on the ice in a few weeks...
Tires on 5 months and 18000 miles down, no indication of wear as yet...

Had these tires on my car now for a while after purchasing some after market alloys. If i had known the brand prior, would have opted for a superior tire.
The tire lack of tire wear has to be the only possitive anyone can take from this review; everything else is just an utter con. More of a con than a guy selling gold watches from a fold up table or within a beige colored cammel coat! The Hard compound reflects in the road noise, but could be worse.
At present im am running with T1R Proxes at the front, however dont be fooled into thinking that these tires are 'Good enough' for the rear; they are equally as terrible. Wet grip is almost non existant, unless your passenger is Miss Daisy. Dry grip is ok, but only ok.
Would i buy again? Not on your life. Pay day coming up and changing!
My front wheel drive car has achieved overstear, but this i believe due to the extreme mix of compounds. Do not buy this tire if you live in a country that leaves water on the road surface or you may regret it.
