Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tires link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.

Compasal EU label data

8 of the 10 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.

B Best wet grip

3 tires reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:

70dB Quietest tires

The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 70 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

Compasal Smacher 145-70-12 Suzuki Mehran 2014 120 miles July 30, 2025
Salam
I changed my tires on 26/7/25 and choose compasal tires size 145/70/12 for my mehran car on shop keeper's advice.I feel on return from the shop that car is taking jumps more than before. drive is not comfortable. very little up & down on the road jolts the whole car. I called the shop keeper and explained the pain I felt. He said air pressure may be more in tires, go and check it, I checked it twice from 2 different places it was 30 in all tires, he also said for wheel balancing and wheel alignment, I also went for that but issue didn't resolve. I got very bad experience with these tires and did not recommend it further.

Compasal Smacher 245-40-18- Mercedes Benz 12,000 miles September 16, 2021
These were fitted to a Mercedes e350 esate on the front,they are extremely noisy so much so that I thought the wheel bearings were shot,had them checked and was told bearings ok tires were the cause. they were fitted new prior to lockdown when I bought the car,so was hoping to replace them quickly.Had them on 2 years now,still plenty of tread after about 12000 miles,but am changing them.Keep clear.

Compasal Smacher 245-40-17-W Mercedes Benz C300 35,000 miles April 6, 2020
Bought these tires brand new for my Mercedes after my winter changeover. I was getting quoted 3x the price and although I understand there might be a slight difference between the brands I was quite happy with these. The quality is excellent at a fraction of the price. I use it as a daily driver and take the car and long road trips as well. So far I'm 56,000 km's into these tires and they seem to have another 20-30k which is what I got on my dunlop set (the previous set on this vehicle). I would say that if you are picky go with any major brand for the peace of mind but for every day use I found these to be excellent for regular use.

Compasal Smacher 215-55-17-W Peugeot 3,000 miles November 11, 2019
Bought for a Peugeot 407sw, OK, not an exciting car to drive so figured cheap tires were OK. To be fair under normal driving they are fine, they grip OK but if pushed feel like they run out of grip far to easily.
My real gripe with them is that they have worn out in 3200 miles. Yes, 3200.... Inner edge was bald with about 2mm left all over, very disappointed and would call it false economy. The car is a bit heavy on the front end and the hsi quite torquey but still terrible. Would not buy again due to the poor wear.

Compasal Smacher 205-45-17-R MINI Cooper S 150 miles April 8, 2019
There's one thing that never ceases to amaze me with the great British public....how little thought and consideration they have when protecting their lives, and that of others.
The reason why I say this, is that every car I buy second-hand is, guaranteed EVERY time, fitted with cheap rubbish Hoo Flung Dung tires, and windscreen smearers that used to wipe the rain away, many moons ago.
This weekend, I purchased a Mini Cooper S (the supercharged convertible), and guess what? Yep, crap Chinese tires on every corner, including a pair of Smacher tires up front, and something with a laughable name at the back, and yes, the customary windscreen smearers..Lets get this into perspective. A good pair of tires (for example, Avon) for this car cost around £65 each, fitted. The Smachers are £46 each. Two good wiper blades (Bosch) will cost, at the very most, £10 each. One of these tires will stop very well during Englands 6 month monsoon season...one will stop you eventually while you pray. The total cost between safety and surviving potential life-or-death situations and unwittingly becoming a crash test dummy is less than £100...for less than the cost of a months council tax, and yet people continue to fit these things, even on performance cars? Economy? When all that's between you and the road are thin circles of synthetic rubber? In conclusion, if you don't mind soft handling, louder than normal road noise, and far, far below par braking distances, by all eans buy some. Me? If I couldn't buy better, I'd get the bus.

Compasal Smacher 195-45-16-V Ford Fiesta Zetec S 123 4,000 miles February 1, 2019
These tires were fitted brand-new to the front of a Fiesta Zetec-S I bought last summer. The rear had the original Continentals with about 15000 miles wear. I have to say I'd never heard of the Compasals and had a sense of foreboding about them as I'd figured the dealer had just fitted the cheapest replacement possible.
Unfortunately I was right!
On my way back to base (150-odd miles) on a hot, dry July evening, the tires seemed ok as they scrubbed in. Eventually I was on roads I knew backwards and decided to test the tires...
I was now on B-roads and there is a particular Left-hand corner I know and love on both car and bike, but I digress...
I approached said corner, changing down in preparation for what was to come, took a deep breath, pitched it in and floored it. Annnnd. SsssssKerrrrccchhhhh as the car moved swiftly towards the offside of the corner.
'Hmmm', I thought absently as I juggled the wheel, 'that doesn't usually happen.'
Still, it was provoked.
Several months later it is now cold and wet. If provoked at all, it is slither time.
Two days ago (with warm tires - 50 miles into a trip) I accelerated hard away from a junction. Except when I dropped the clutch the car jumped about 6" sideways instead of moving forwards in an orderly manner.
That was the last straw. A replacement pair has been ordered despite the total wear of about 4000 miles on the Smachers. How much does even the slightest accident cost these days?
The fairest way to describe these tires is to say they resemble the Japanese tires of the 70's. Nice'n'shiny and plastiky - but I'm sure they'd last ever such a long time if you drive in straight lines in Arizona.
