After 14 months the tread came off (literally) in 3 out of 4 tires. The mechanic said he had never seen anything like it. Had the dashboard warning not come on and we took notice of it the effects could have been lethal. It may just have been a bad batch but I know which make of tire I will NOT be buying in future, I will stick to well known brands. All 3 failing tires were 2 front and one rear) had the tread lifting on the inside of the tire so that without taking the tire off or looking underneath there would be no way to tell.

Davanti tires are the best on the market for price, long life and value for money. After sales is very good as well. My wife and I have had three sets between us they last just as long as any other make of tire, at half the cost. Brilliant great value tires.

Have had 2 set of these tires on my Peugeot 208 gti with 208bhp standard I struggled to find a decent tire for good grip, handling and value until I was recommended them, I find them incredible for the price cannot fault them apart from premature wear but u have to sacrifice the wear for the grip and handling (obviously) they are far superior tire compared to the pilot sport 3 that come factory fitted wich fell rather roapy and unsteady once half woren at 136 quid a tire compared to 74 quid a tire it's devanti all day long for me 👍

I only purchased these as my car needed a full set of tires with less than two months remaining on the lease. Having always gone for one of the big name premium brands I was expecting a significant drop in performance compared to the Continental Sport Contact 5 AO’s that they were replacing, but couldn’t justify the extra £300(almost) to cover less than 1k miles.
My expectations couldn’t have been more wrong - really can’t fault them.
I know that the direct comparison I’m doing is between new Davanti’s and worn Conti’s, but findings are as follows;
Both dry and wet grip is certainly as good and possibly even better (would need a new set of Conti’s to be certain - It’s close).
Substantially less road noise from the Davanti’s which is really noticeable on the motorway.
The thing I like the most is that the Davanti’s are more compliant over bumps, so manage to feel more “settled” on an uneven road surface (particularly when you’re pushing it), which is really confidence inspiring.
I can’t comment on longevity as I won’t have the car long enough, but I will certainly be purchasing Davanti again in the future.

Changed all the tires on my A-Class AMG and found them to be a great choice. Whilst I understand the previous tires had some wear and tear, having a new set of Davanti tires certainly gave extra confidence to driving especially in the wet and cornering. Thoroughly pleased with the decison.

Good wet and dry grip, acceptable road noise, no comfort issues. However, wear is horrendous for a summer compound, being more than half in under 5k miles - admittedly on the front of a pocket rocket! The winter Michelin's lasted longer, so would only consider for low mileage vehicle where it's not worth putting on a tire which could perish before it wore out.

Without doubt found the tires excellent in all weathers but did not find much snow about last winter ! Wear rate has been exceptional with 5.8 left on front and 4.5 on the rears and still the quietest tires I have had so far. Now completed just over 20000 miles so should manage 30k. As stated at 5k with a cost of £357 I shall look at them again

I travel 15k per year commuting. Advised by tire fitter Davanti were as good as some premium brands. Bought 1 for front. Performed well in wet and dry. Ok in icy conditions but could lose grip turning sharply. Overall, performed ok but biggest drawback is they wear down twice as fast as Continentals. Good if not much mileage. If you drive a lot of miles, buy cheap, buy twice.

I use 3 months in Nur-Sultan. I liked the rubber. Quiet, soft, comfortable in motion. During emergency braking on the pavement does not slip.
The quality of workmanship is on the level; during installation, a lot of weights were not required for balancing. I didn’t fly into the puddles at high speed, but at a small (60 km / h) there is no aquaplaning. In my opinion, this rubber is definitely better than the factory. I can not say anything about the winter - I did not go. Would buy more? Definitely yes. especially at that price.

2013 Volkswagon cc 170 TDI DSG GT.
Placed In order of when i first purchased the car they had fitted:
1st continental's
2nd Nexen's
3rd davanti DX640's (newly fitted to the vehicle presently)
Well what can i say, the davanti DC640 summer tires that i have put on the my car yesterday (13/3/2020) caught me off guard as to the fact that they are fantastic, low db sound rating of 68db compared to 72db of other types of tires
They give excellent feed back, confident grip, quite, good value for money, good in the wet all things considered that they are a summer tire, and im seeing much better fuel economy.
I was abit wary about the name of this brand of tire as it seemed to be of a lower quality on first impressions of looking at them and compared to the likes of continental's or Michelin the car has simply eaten past tires with ease!
However i was very impressed and i highly recommend them as far as to say i will get another set of these when the time comes.
This tire product will be a good seller and they are a game changer !

I am very surprised by the performance of this relatively new company tire and the performance is just amazing. I live in Israel. The most complex roads I think the world's Broken roads 😂 Hot temperature The tire meets all these conditions I mentioned above I am going to buy this tire once again very satisfied with the company of devanti
