Davanti DX390 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 30 reviews

Dry grip is the more favorable part of Davanti DX390 ownership, with nine positive mentions against three criticisms across 30 reviews. Wet grip is more divided and leans negative, at seven positive comments against nine complaints, around three in ten reviews. Noise is almost evenly split, and handling and tread life are also mixed rather than clear strengths. Nearly half the reviews are initial impressions, so early satisfaction should not be treated as evidence of long life. The one returning reviewer remains dissatisfied with wear and handling, but a single owner does not establish a shared ageing pattern. The 57.1% average reflects substantial disagreement, with 12 positive reviews and ten below 40%.

Well, after being recommended these by a friend, erm let me say, I wont be using these 'budget' tires again. They were okish at first, well for the first 1000 miles of use, not that they got a lot of use as they only lasted only lasted 4000 miles and after that 1000 they were absolutely terrible. These tires in the wet are absolutely terrible as it makes you feel as if your car is on the log flume at the local water park and in the dry, well they just give up so easily! Without no warning! They also squeal like mad and draw lots of attention. They only good thing about them is that they have little road noise, but I value grip over that. Therefore, I won't be using these over priced Ditchanti's again!!

Bought for my car what an absolute nightmare! It has also destroyed the handling of my car! I'll never buy these again! Nearly worn out after 5000 miles! I'm trying Rain Sport 3's next time!

I purchased 2 davanti dx390 tires17/12/16 for the front of my punto grande for what is meant to be 67db noise level and c and c rating set and fuel ratings. The noise level I think is terrible. I know different surfaces gives different rolling sound but in general...motorway and urban not happy. I dispute they are 67db . Gladly change them! One dayband I don't like them.

I had previously been using landsail ls288s on my Renault Megane estate and my tire supplier suggested that these were a better tire for a similar price.
They are a very good tire, quiet, composed and grippy in both wet and dry conditions. They respond well to proper driving (slow in, fast out of corners and a positive throttle) and reward you with a surprising amount of grip.
Using these tires, I managed to do my Friday night commute (75 miles each way, 60% motorway/40% twisty a road) 5 minutes quicker than I could running the landsails which is a pretty good acheivement.
I've had the front tires for around 5000 miles so far and rears for 2000 and the rear tires still look pretty new.
At £45 a corner, I'll be very happy if I can get 15000 miles out of them like the landsails which looks very possible

I purchased this tires for around £50 per tire and have had a full set of 4. I have driven 9000 miles and the front was down to 2mm and the rear on about 4mm. I purchased two front tires and cost £100. I am very impressed with these tires as I purchased them over the continental premium contact 2's that the car came with and I noticed a change straight away. As I drive a hybrid I'm used to quiet and these tires are quiet. They grip well on corners/roundabout really well in both dry and wet conditions. (17-23mph). Wear is good as if I changed the front and back at around 3mm I would likely get another 6000 miles. So 15000 miles on a full set would be great but as I like to change two at a time and weighting up the pros and cons.

I have driven mostly around town, however with a few country lanes and the average motorway trip. I would say around 7000 town, 1000 countryside and 1000 motorway approx.

I am very likely to be purchasing these again as the overall price per mile is very good.
If a new better tire comes out then I might be persuaded to change.
