Bought the car with these tires on the front. The worse set of tires i have ever used in my life. The slightest bit of water on the road and the car is aquaplaning.they are ok in the dry but have lost confidence in them, would never buy a pair,would rather run on the wheels themselves. Give them a miss if you value your life....

These tires are dangerous! Not only is their grip (wet or dry) woeful, but other areas such as fuel economy, and comfort are desperately poor. It seems these tires are put on new cars when being sold, however, do not wait for them to wear out, since you may be unlucky enough to have to find out how dangerous they are the hard way.

I got these tires at end of may 2013 when I got the car an 1800 c.c.mondeo estate, as they were what I could afford at the time, and I wanted a good but not cheap tire, these were recormended by the garage, on car, first thing I noticed was they were very noisy, the on every bump you went over you felt it, braking is o.k.in dry weather, but not so good in the wet, I am a steady driver, but twice when I have tried to excelerate in the wet at a traffic island the wheels could not grip the road, 6 or 7 times a year I drive to the coast 81 miles there and it o.k.in the dry.i have just changed the front tires for pirelli cinterarto p1, and what a difference, steering feels good and cannot feel the bumps, I'm going to change the back tires in 2weeks when I have the money, definitely will not buy these tires again.

On dry road they are really good, just with a bit more pressure than what manifacturer says. On wet roads it's not hard to get them slipping but for me that's fun.. you have to try them on snow :D it's super funny. I would buy them again.. For the money i paid.. it's the best choice around.

They were kinda ok for the price I got them, held very well during dry warm days, but if you get just mist that fell on the road, they started slipping, specially on the roundabouts I could feel if I pushed them a little more they started scrubbing or doing hill start

Arnold clark fitted these to my mk6 golf gti prior to purchasing. Absolutely shocking tires...extremely noisy.. no grip... no feedback... the only thing that makes these classify as a tire is that they are black and round. Utter garbage and ddangerous.

The positive point of this tires is the wear. 4 tires with normal rotation dured about 40000 km with normal driving, mainly urban. The wet grip is not good, very unsafe but in Portugal doesn´t rain that much. As long as i drive safely in wet road it´s ok. The road noise and confort is average but in the motorway they are extremely noisy. If you have a small and compact car and want a lasting tire with a budget price, this could be a good tire. Otherwise dont buy it.

My car originally had Dunlop Sport tires which were great tires, so when it came to replacing them I was tempted to replace them with the originals but the cost was just too much. I read loads of reviews and then decided to give these Infinity tires a go. These tires perform equally as well as the dunlops in wet and dry conditions. I have complete confidence in them from someone when loves to put his foot down and corner fast, when safe to do so of course.
