    Top 3 Infinity INF 040 Reviews

    Given 26% while driving a Renault Megane (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 1,000 easy going miles
    I had these tires fitted to my car when I bought it.
    They perform okay in the dry but you take your life in your hands in the wet.
    The wet grip on corners is almost non existent and they will easily slide when braking, gently, to a stop.
    I would never recommend these INF040 tires to anyone. The best thing I did, was getting them replaced with Dunlop tires, even though the infitity’s were like new.
    DO NOT BUY.

    These tires were fitted to the car when we bought it, my wife complained for the 12,000 miles that she used the car that the wet grip was horrible, but she never got round to changing them.
    I have since taken ownership of the car, these tires offer an acceptable level of grip in hot, dry weather, but next to nothing in the wet. They are very loud. I shall be replacing these tires tomorrow, they have plenty of tread left but I might as well be driving a hovercraft with the grip level they offer. Definitely a tire to avoid!

    I had these tires fitted this weekend, but my new Infinity tires feel better than my old Uniroyals.

    Given 18% while driving a Honda Jazz (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
    Terrible. Do not buy these tires. I inherited a car with almost new version of these tires and lost the rear end at very moderate speeds on a wet roundabout. I replaced them within a couple of days. It's not worth saving £10 a tire when you can get a Unioryal Rainsport for a little more. The difference since changing is astonishing.

    Given 29% while driving a Hyundai i30 CW CRD (195/65 R15 H) on mostly town for 2,500 average miles
    When we bought the Hyundai i30 diesel it had these Infinity INF040 front tires. Looked almost new so I was happy with that. I had to do 200miles back home and noticed the tires much louder than Pirelli P6000 which we had on our previous can. But the wort bit about these budget INF040 is how NO GRIP you have in wet. I mean moving off in 1st and then changing into 2nd gear on slight incline would make the traction control to go crazy!!! Our 1.6 diesel has got a bit of torque but the tires should easily cope with that. In addition, going around the roundabout it would understeer badly. I am due to put new set of 4 Michelin Crossclimate tires. Reading the reviews these should be the best all seasons tires.
    DO NOT BY Infinity INF 040 and if you have them on your car - CHANGE immediately!

    Given 31% while driving a Kia Motors (205/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
    Car came with Infinity 040 tires, dry grip is adequate, wet grip is awful. There's very little road feedback from these tires, and makes the steering vague and numb, difficult to feel which direction the wheels are heading.
    The tire is very noisy, sounds as if your driving in the flintstones car...thing.
    Wear is bad, I reckon it'll be worn out at around 8000 - 9000 miles.
    Comfort? Doesn't exist, can feel every road imperfection. Motorway legal speeds are also dangerous, it's quite unstable, when driving over a minor lip, can feel the car lifting off a bit, at 50mph, i.e, doesn't stick to the road.
    I had Marangoni Verso before, they were considered bad, but this is worse.
    Overall, I would avoid this tire, and would suggest any car owners with this tire, to change to a better tire when funds allow.

    Given 36% while driving a Volkswagen Touran tdi (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
    Recently bought a VW Touran and it has a set of these tires on the front. In 2 words 'very loud' road noise and the comfort is terrible. Had me wondering if my suspension is worn (10,000 miles ermm no!), every bump and divot no matter how small is transmitted to your hands and behind. Can't comment on wear, progressiveness. I can say I misjudge my braking distance in the wet, have driven for 26years and never known handling like it. Ok in the dry i suppose except for the noise. I drive an MPV and don't expect performance necessarily, but do value safety. False economy...avoid.

    Fitted to the rear, these tires are virtually lethal on roundabouts in the wet.
    Several times have lost grip when going around a roundabout, luckily not collided with anything.
    In the dry is almost as bad, terrible handling.

    Think very carefully if you are fitting these to your vehicle.

    Given 43% while driving a Renault megane cc (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 2,000 average miles
    No grip at all in the wet. I've recently bought a Megane CC which had these tires on, and I've been fighting severe understeer every time it rains. I wouldn't normally review a tire after so few miles, but that's because from what I've seen before they're all pretty similar in handling, so it's really how they handle in icy condition, and how they wear that distinguishes them. Unfortunately not this time - these may just be the first tires I replace before the tread wears out.

    Poor wet weather performance (handling and braking) which is a real problem in the UK. They are cheap but this is false ecomony as it potentially puts you and your family at risk. Don't buy them!

    Well, when i first buoght theses tires i was a bit put back having never heard of the brand. Now i can say that they handle excelent in the dry and just as good in the wet. I would that once the correct tire pressure is achieved the tire handles as good as those top brands. Only problem is that the tire noise is much louder than normal and having said this i think that it just might put me off from buying them again
