AutoView overall score: 78.5 points. The Davanti DX640 wins on dry braking and efficiency but trails the field on comfort, handling balance and cornering grip — the areas that matter most for a comfort tire. The abrupt limit-handling behavior is the most concerning finding and is worth a careful test drive before buying.

Davanti DX640 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 100 reviews

The Davanti DX640 receives mostly favorable owner reviews, with quiet running, dry grip and ride comfort the clearest positives. Wet grip attracts more praise than criticism, though around one in seven reviews raises concerns, so confidence in rain is far from unanimous. Value is another recurring strength, while tread life divides opinion, with roughly one in six reviews reporting disappointing wear alongside accounts of long service. A smaller group, around one in sixteen, describes instability at speed. Mid-life and end-of-life reports also include some loss of wet grip as the tread wears, although this is a minority experience.

Initial Impressions

I’ve been seriously impressed with the Davanti DX640 tires. From the moment they were fitd, they’ve made a noticeable difference to the way the car feels on the road. They offer a really good balance of grip, comfort and confidence, making everyday driving feel smoother and more controlled.

One of the biggest things that stood out to me is the grip. The DX640s feel planted through corners and give plenty of confidence when accelerating, braking or changing direction. Even when the roads are wet, they feel secure and predictable, which is particularly reassuring in typical British weather.

They’re also surprisingly comfortable. Road noise is well controlled, and the tires soak up a lot of the smaller imperfections in the road, making longer journeys much more enjoyable. The steering feels responsive without the ride becoming harsh, so they work really well as an all-round road tire.

For the money, I think the DX640s are particularly impressive. They deliver the sort of driving experience you might expect from a considerably more expensive tire, without the premium price tag. They look good on the car too, with a sporty tread pattern that complements the overall appearance.

Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with the Davanti DX640s. They provide excellent everyday grip, comfortable driving and plenty of confidence in both dry and wet conditions. If you’re looking for a tire that offers a great combination of performance, comfort and value, the DX640s are definitely worth considering.

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.

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.

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.

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 liter 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.
