“22000 klm of very easy running. Balanced and rotated at service. Very poor. Tire Right Ulverstone said nothing they could do, not interested. I have never had a tire wear out with such small kilometers.”

Came with my Proton Preve as OEM tires..mostly used for Highways and city driving. just at 20 000 + km my car tires have cracked at the sides and now bloated at front left. Grip is average and handling is ok. Comfort is below average and the road sound is so strong that i have to blast the music. This is one of the worst tires I have used in my life. I strongly advise to skip this brand as my friends who owns Preve with these tires have the same complaints also. Took my car for inspection at a local tire shop and I was told by the foreman that this is the common problem he encounters with these tires. AVOID AT ALL COST !

Pretty noisy tire for well surfaced roads. It emits certain unpleasant pitch of frequency. But overall, very satisfying tire. High level of grip wet and dry. Confidence braking beheaviour. In term of wear, I have to evaluate it after 20 or 30K km.

Good Tires for Budget
GT Radial is a Very old name in Manufacturing tires , good for replacing OE tires if you like to add extra Grip

Not phenomenal but Steady and good on the road

i have to admit that i bought these tires only because of their low set price, but i was really pleased with the performance of the tires. really good and grippy, balanced road character in dry, reasonably well in the wet, wear is unexpectedly good. aquaplanning is just a bit of issue but i can live with it. obviously its not a benchmark tire in its class, but honestly with that overall performance, its a real bargain, and i can easily recommend it to users whom looking for a decent performing budget tire.

sorry for my english by the way.

I knew the Tire brand from my holiday in the USA (GT-Radial is a big player in the America tire market). I had a very good experience with this tire fitted in a Chevy Camaro . That's the reasson why i choosed for this tire , i don't think there is any better brand that give's you that great value for money . This one is much better then the Uniroyals that i bought a few years ago . De BAX 2 (Not de BAX) is a very quite and grippy tire , it also have a awesome wet grip condition .

I'm very statified with this tire !

Be sure you get the Champiro BAX 2 Tire wich is an improved version of the Normal Champiro Bax tire
