Road noise and wet grip are the main concerns for owners of the Haida HD921, with noise criticised in around one in three reviews and wet grip in roughly three in ten. Dry grip is more often praised than criticised, and a few owners consider the low price good value. Overall opinion is unfavorable: 24 of 41 written reviews are negative, with an average score of 40.7%. Around one in seven reviews raises tire damage or failure, including accounts of splits or delamination, which adds a durability reservation to the grip complaints. Noise changes over time are too mixed to establish a dependable ageing pattern.

Very cheap new tires that were fitted on the vehicle that I recently bought. The front tires have completed less than 10,000 miles in 10 months on my VW T6 and they are almost down to the wear limit indicators. The road noise is awful and as they wear down the more of a whining noise can be heard. I would not recommend them and will be fitting Pirelli, Michelin, Good year or Bridgestone next time. You get what you pay for but these are budget tires on a high level.
I am absolutely furious that an unscrupulous dealer sold me this (BUDGET) tire when I asked for something "COMPARABLE" and "COMPATIBLE" with what had been on (ie when I needed a replacement following a puncture).
The tire being replaced was a Bridgestone (ie a PREMIUM tire) and clearly there is no comparison whatsoever - except for the price I was charged!
Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
I had a brand new set of these tires already fitted to my VW transporter when I bought it.
I took the van into my local garage to have them check the wheel bearings, even though I couldn't feel any play myself, the road noise was unbearably loud and droning. The garage confirmed all the bearings were fine.
After just 5 months I noticed the inner treads were wearing uneven so had a 4-wheel laser alignment carried out.
The vehicle was already well within factory tolerances and so no adjustments were made!
I swapped the tires front to rear to try even out the wear. They've lasted just less than 10 months and less than 10,000 miles and they're already at their wear limit and STILL noisy as hell!
I've since swapped the tires for a quality set of Continental SportContact 5's and the difference is outstanding! My van is quiet - I can hear people talking while driving on the motorway and there's much better road feel.
If you need a cheap / budget tire then I'd advise looking elsewhere - buy cheap, buy twice with these horrible tires.

I bought this car just b4 Xmas and it had these tires on 245/40/18 these tires are ok in the wet and dry and even in the snow i was able to go up my road that is on a hill but the worst thing about these tires are the road noise I was convinced that all my wheel bearings were gone and needed changing but after having them checked I have noticed its the tires if you use the moterway alot dont even bother looking at these tires it will drive you crazy i would rather spend a little more.I will be changing these at my first opportunity
Road noise from these is unbelievable, just don't bother thought both my wheel bearings needed changing when they didn't. Braking on Wet roads or at best.
These tires are okay for a temporary fix. I bought a set of 4 and I was impressed with the grip but after few days of driving. You can feel and hear the quality of the tires decrease. Road noise will be the first thing you take notice of. Man I hope you have a good sound system because your going to need it. Second thing is road hazard. Seem like a rock can punch a hole in tires. Stay away from roads under construction. Third wet roads, if you have a rear wheel drive car like me. Don't punch the gas on rainy days. You will be in next lane before you know it. The only thing these tires have going now is some what ok grip on bone dry, sunny, hot days and you still can't punch the gas. They last for about 6 to 7 months maybe more if your car is not a daily driver. Would I buy again. Let's just say they had a sale, buy one get three free. I Will Past lol, never again. So in other words you get what you pay for and if you got the money, love your life and car buy a well known brand of tires.
ive only done 3000 klms on these tires the rubber feels soft , ive only had 60 sets of new tires, on the 75 cars ive ever ownd, but these tires im still reviewing, good value for money, there on a v6 touareg with 550nm that should sort the men from the boys !!!
Steer well clear of these tires!
The Wet grip is appaling, and dry grip is just okay - providing its a hot day and they are warm. These came fitted when I bought a second hand Toyota T2, and thankfully I'm having them swapped for some Dunlops today as i just have no confidence in them! The only Label data i can find says E - Fuel efficiency and C - Wet braking, so hopefully i will now be able to both go round corners, and not have to stop at every fuel station i see :-)
This brand of tires are crap. I bought them and changed them away after 11 days of driving. The road noise was so loud and deafening. The fuel consumption was so bad too with this tires. I'm driving a 2007 VW Golf GTI. Changed them away and fitted them back with Bridgestone Potenza S001. I was using this set of tires till its time before changing to this horrendous Haida brand.
I ended up buying 4 of these via Blackcircles. They ended up being the mystery tires, but brand I ended up getting by opting for the Blackcircles budget tire. Unfortunately, because they do not tell you what brand you are getting until they are on the car I had no chance to read the reviews. Shame! To be honest I didn't find grip as bad as some have claimed and the road noise was fine. My problem was that I would not get rib of a wheel wobble. Three times all four had to be balanced and STILL my steering wheel wobbled. Blackcircles were good enough to take them back and I bought Hankook for nearly twice the price. No more wobble! I know, we get what we pay for, but no price is worth shaking up the driver and passengers from 50 mph upwards, let alone what the wobble must have been doing to my car. These tires are junk!
Actually bad in all conditions. The grip when hot on dry surfaces was OK. On of the tires just split into two parts during an overtake, it did split at the inner sidewall. These tires are dangerous! I did never buy them, they was equipped on my car when I bought it.
I would never buy these tires again, i had a full set fitted and they were fine for about 8-10 weeks. After this time i noticed a noise when driving that was getting louder and thought my wheel bearing were failing. After getting this looked at i was advised the problem was the cheap tires that were fitted (HAIDA) The technician showed me the problem. The tire tread looked to have become stepped all the way around both edges of the tire but the middle was fine. The front were worse than the rear but the rear were following suite. Do yourself a favor and don't buy HAIDA tires, Really really bad, not fit for use!
