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.

These tires wore down to the metal banding after 2000 miles, yes 2k and its just my Mrs pottering around the shops. Impressive at first then highly dangerous. Avoid at all costs.

While I drive my car quite vigorously, new tires only lasted about 8000 miles before I was down to about 2mm. My car is quite the lightweight, but even so I was expecting more. Can be a bit squirrely under hard braking, which is a quite worrying. Sorry Davanti, you're *okay* as a budget brand, but not much more.

These tires are ditchfinders in the most literal sense of the word - I am now waiting for my car to be done over at the panel beaters' after it skidded, at 40km/h, into a ditch in a tropical downpour while braking to avoid a cyclist. This is only 2 weeks and 500kms after installing them. Thankfully the damage is minor enough, a couple dozen bucks, or I would have been writing documents for a lawsuit, rather than a review post. Avoid at all cost.

Shocked how quickly these have worn, only 13000 miles and I'm looking at replacing in the next 500 miles. Wear seemed to be ok and then very quickly gone. Previous bridge stones lasted 23000 miles. Don't think they are suited to be front tires of a large front wheel drive car like a RAV4.
Will not be buying again

These are ok ay first on the front but wont be getting bought by me again I'm afraid Davanti. Okish grip in the dry about average for budget tires if you go steady but scary in the wet or god don't get me started...
Wear is at 4mm after 2000 miles - we say no more... (disappointed Davanti!)
Really, I wouldn't be buying these again to be honest.

Can't believe how quickly these tires have worn out. Fitted on my Kia Sportage rear wheels. Only on the car 10mth, less than 8,000 miles and already down to 2mm.

By comparison the front tires are the originals to the car, are 4yrs old and have done over 36,000. Just changing them now but not fitting Davanti tires ever again.

I had fitted uni royal rainsport 3s to my wife's mini as the mitchelin run flats were uncomfortable noisy and slippery in the wet. Uniroyals much better in the wet and the ride and noise is so much better but at £350 a set not cheap. After my second puncture in as many months that can't be repaired I am peed off to say the least. I replaced the first with a uniroyal but my second the garage have recommended these Davanti dx640's. The garage say they are quieter than my tires and as good in the wet. I wouldn't normally consider tires I have never heard off but the garage are pushing them like mad so they either have a fantastic kickback from the company or they are good. The clincher for me is a puncture warranty on them! The drive back home in the dry was unremarkable. It's performing as well as my uniroyals but it wasn't that much cheaper. I only saved a fiver! Time will tell but I am amazed at the varying extremes of reviewers on these tires. Brilliant or awful and not much in between. How can this be? How can they revolutionise the handling and grip for one person and be a widow maker in the rain for another? I don't understand but I'm going to give them a go and see. If it performs as well as the uniroyals I will certainly be buying more. I will review again when I have put some miles under my belt.

had these tires on now for 2500 miles and driven in both wet and dry conditions at speeds up to 95mph in my 2 ton Mercedes S500 S Class limo the tires have proved to be excellent dry and wet grip at all speed up to my fastest never feeling anything but planted but then this is a heavy car so I am amazed that the wear is only 0.2 to 0.3mm max on these tires. At he current wear rate (Pot Holes permitting) that is a projected 30,000 miles of wear or better from these tires. These tires are also very quiet compared with continentals I replaced

Disappointed with these tires to be honest, only on the car leases than 2000 miles and can't wait until they are worn off it. If I could afford to I would buy a different set. They ruined the handling of the car the car rolls on corners doesn't hold the road like the Bridgestone tires previous.
