Bought a pair for my Ford Focus and had them on the rear. Handling is poor don't even try to go on a bend on a motorway slip road in the wet as you can feel the car slide.
You get what you pay for these days and that just about sums them up cheap.

Brilliant tires for the money £45 a tire, had a set of 4 on my Renault Espace. Good grip and wet handling. Recommend to anyone other than high performance cars.

No grip wet or dry,ride is like driving on a corrugated roof,had them on 6 weeks and inside wall blew out and a HUGE 35cm gash (luckily I was only doing 20 mph coming off a roundabout and survived to write this). If you value your life avoid this rubbish like the plague,old saying you get what you pay for,HARSH lesson learned.

Desperately noisy at anything above 15mph. I bought the car and it came with these tires - the noise is an atrocious whirring hum and builds to a deafening racket at 60 to 70 mph, despite the tires being almost new ( less than 2k miles). Rotating the tires is all positions has not improved the noise. A friend commented that the frequency was that of a Rolls Royce Trent aircraft engine at take off power - I couldn't disagree.

Have had these on for about 10000km now. No signs of wear yet. I don't know what the reviews about the tires sliding around are about. They must be driving in snow. I have not experienced any sliding in wet or dry traction and I drive in moderate speed.

I'm never buying branded tires again! Constancy on the car for almost 2 years now and no difference from Bridgestone, which I had previously on it.
I do drive slow, just to be fair...

I usually wouldn't bother doing a tire review but these Constancy tires are awful. I should have known by the price and I did get what I paid for. The guy that recommended them in the garage was having a laugh! Noisy, bumpy, uncomfortable and downright dangerous! Taking them off with little more than 10,000km done and I won't be fooled again. I've had Chinese tires before that were fine but these constancy tires are the type that give them a bad rep.

I'm a taxi driver in Dublin, doing very high annual mileage. Already on my second set of Constancy tires and I absolutely love them. They are cheap as chips, but they do perform as good as so called mid-range brands.
