Davanti DX640

Tire needed replacing after a few thousand miles, never again. And they're no cheaper than much more trust worthy brands. Support useless if not rude

Very positively impressed with this tire - I fitted a set on my Subaru Legacy about two years ago - which was previously fitted with NOKIAN which is a premium brand. Wet/dry grip was identical, and comfort was improved. Cannot complain in the least! Excellent performance.

Now I have fitted a second set to my Toyota. Again, excellent grip, wet or dry, but most of all much improved comfort over the Nexen tires it had fitted. So I can truly recommend these tires for both value and performance.

Bad under wet braking, had to do an emergency brake and the car veered to the side, never had that happen before. Do not feel confident in the wet with these. Dont buy, they were already fitted to my car when I got it.

Very uninspiring, average handling in dry condition, becomes very unstable above 55/60mph. Does not inspire confidence in the wet, definitely would not push on with these tires. Very noisy with average fuel consumption. Would not fit again.

They work very well, they are very precise and have a very good grip.

Bought a set of 4 for my Renault Kwid 2020 1.0 Dynamique, was skeptical at first as they are cheaper than most brands. I bought them in April 2022, and now I will be buying a new set November 2024 they have well over 90,000km on them with little bit more than 1mm left, they still handle well on the road (Wet & Dry), however, they have become a little bit more slippery when driving over a puddle on the side of the road, they handle really well on a dirt road as I can drive up to 70km/h without sliding (it's not a level road it has lots of bumps and rocks sticking out), the cars glides over potholes in the road. Very impressed, will be fitting a new set today.

Only got 18 months out of these tires with normal round town driving.

I'd never heard of Davanti tires before buying a set of DX640's on an alloy wheel and tire package 3 years ago.
I've owned my peugeot 206 2 litre diesel for 15 years and over that time I've tried just about every make of tire including Continentals, Michelins, Yokohamas, Firestones Bridgestones, Nankangs and even BCT's. As expected, they all had their good and bad points but to be honest the car is a nose heavy little lump that eats front tires for laughs regardless of being continuously fed new wishbones and track rod ends with the tracking always checked and adjusted following any changes but I can quite honestly say these Davanti's are the only tire that has not only lasted more than two years on the front but are also wearing evenly which is something none of the others ever managed. When they do eventually wear out,I will definitely buy another set as I've been pleasantly surprised with their performance.

When I purchased this car it had brand Davanti tires fitted to to the front with partially worn Pirelli tires on the rear. As I'm not a fan of mismatched tires I purchased a pair of Davanti for the rear. In the past I have used many brands of tires and found the Davanti comparable with most of the in their handling, wet and dry grip. They are quiet on the motorway, the road feedback is excellent and they are cheaper than most. I have been thoroughly impressed with them.
That said, the fronts are now down to just over 4mm of tread with just over 6mm at the rear. The fronts no longer inspire confidence and the wet handling has deteriorated. The front tires possible have a bit more life in them but I will be changing them in the next week. Liked these tires but less impressive when they get down to 4mm or so but would certainly purchase again.

Dangerous! OK for wear and handling, had a pair of DX640 (255/40/R19) on the front of a Jaguar XJ V8 - first one started losing pressure as if it had a slow puncture - when I took it off to try and find the leak it was much worse - the entire sidewall had split away from the shoulder! The other side was fine and not losing pressure, but a few months on while working on the brakes I noticed the other tire is goosed too - massive split between the shoulder and the tread revealing lots of sheared steel wires and cords from the belts! 15k miles and barely 3 years on the car, less on the first one, both with a good 4mm of tread left. Never again!

I bought my car with these tires. 225/40/18 front 245/35/18 rear. They were new, installed by the previous owner before selling the car. For shopping, commuting to work or short trips close to home, these tires are good. The problem begins when we want to go on a long trip on the motorway. After exceeding 60 miles per hour, the car jumps left and right on the road and a vibration can be felt in the steering wheel. It's impossible to balance these tires correctly. I am afraid to drive on the motorway because the car is completely unpredictable and drives as it wants. I can't imagine driving in heavy rain with these tires. The car is fast, it has 340 horsepower, and these poor tires make it no fun to drive. I do not recommend these tires.

These tires would appear to be made from cheese and not cheddar, the soft kind like Feta. The merest hint of a curb and large chunks fall off the side wall. I will have to replace the two front tires after 6 months and 700 miles to get the car through MOT. The previous tires were on the car 8 years so it’s not the drive, my wife who’s not a brilliant driver to be honest, but the previous tires stuck around for 8 years so I’m pretty sure I won’t be buying Devanti tires any time soon. Appalling bad tires.

Rubbish they have perished...big ridge around the tire air coming out. And whoever thought of putting white rubber under the black? It rubs off and leaves them looking awful. I would never buy again

So these tires were on my car when I bought it ... unfortunately they were almost new. Why unfortunately ? Well my car is a Renault Laguna GT with 4-wheel steer and its the third one of this spec I've had .... it just 'fits' me and actually, with the right tires, it's a really enjoyable drive, especially on the back roads round here. I've had a few different tire types on these cars and ended-up on Michelin Pilot 4s so when I tried driving the same on these Davantis, I rapidly realised I was going to end-up in a ditch if I wasn't careful. Although they're perfectly acceptable in a straight line ... oh, no ... not round corners .... you can feel the sidewalls just giving way and the whole car just wanting to wander sideways - not a nice feeling at all ! Like I said .... unfortunately they were almost new and this stupidly influenced my decision to stick with them until they needed replacement. A few weeks was enough ... I mean ... I'd had enough of no longer enjoying driving a car I was very familiar with and wondering if I'd purchased an, admittedly low-mileage, lemon. To be honest the Michelins were never that great in the wet, but after a long dry spell, slippery roads from the first rain on these tires had me driving like an old man with a hat. So I bit the bullet and decided to try some Goodyears for a change .... thank you God !!!! No, it wasn't the car ... it was the tires. I'm sure that if all you're interested-in is getting the car through the MOT and driving to the shops or up-and-down a nice straight motorway, they're perfectly fine ... but if you actually want to DRIVE ... dont bother with this tire ... it's just not up to it.

I’ve these on my 3.0 Audi A6 Quattro. They aren’t an uncomfortable tire, so to speak, but they leave a lot to be desired if you’re even a modestly spirited driver. The traction control on my Audi is very aggressive, so much so that if I’m having a play, I disable it. I’ve lost traction several times in low speed but high sidewall force scenarios. These trees just don’t hold up to any lateral force at all. Unless you’re dithering about, they will throw your car all over the road in a wallow. I can’t speak to how long they last, nor how they are in the wet. I’ve done a thousand miles on mine and I’m ready to swap them out for just about anything. The biggest issue is the way they respond under braking. They just don’t. They slip and slide all over the place under intense braking. Are they okay for doing the weekly shop? Yes. Are they okay for dithering about, doing the school run, and doing 60mph in the outside lane? Probably. Are they any good if you like to use more than 30 percent of your available throttle sometimes? No. I didn’t choose to fit them. They were fitted merely to get through an MoT by the previous owner.
