Hero Milanza HZ1 225-45-17-W Alfa Romeo 156 JTD 500 miles March 13, 2017

Awful, awful, awful!!! Truly terrible tires on all accounts. Caused massive amounts of noise and vibration. Should not be used in the wet, become dangerous when going round bends. Wear rate is good but only because the compound is so hard. Would never ever go near these and I advise others to do the same.

Hero HR668 195-65-14- Honda Accord Inspire 30 miles March 23, 2016

Got these on a car that I bought second hand...hard tire - will probably last another 40,000 kms...terrible in the wet...hard ride as well...a bit noisy. Probably a tire meant for the middle east market with their hot overall temperatures. Would not recommend any other use.

Hero Milanza HZ1 195-45-15- Volkswagen Golf GTI 1,500 miles December 28, 2015

I have been driving with these tires for the last 18 months or so on my 1976 vw golf gti. The dry grip is acceptable but could be better. The wet grip is atrocious! I have lost traction many times just easing off from the traffic lights, all the way through 4 gears. Other reviews have stated that light cars do not perform well with these tires and I couldn't agree more. I bought mine second hand (who knows how many kms) and they are still holding up in terms of wear, which is about the only plus I can think of. They are very progressive on the limits in dry conditions which is a nice reassuring characteristic. I can't comment on road noise as I can't here a thing in my car regardless of the tire choice. Overall, I would not use these again unless they were the only tires I could get in my size, simply because they are too dangerous in the wet conditions.

Hero Milanza HZ1 245-40-18- Ford BA GT Falcon 10,000 miles November 5, 2015

Best tires I have ever fitted to my GT Falcon at a fraction of the cost. Fantastic grip in the dry & wet & the quietest tires I have ever had on the Falcon. I will definitely be buying these tires again.
