New Jinyu tires

The newest arrival in the range is the Jinyu S1 Suv Sport. 2 tires have joined in the last two years:

Tire Season On the market since TR Score
Jinyu S1 Suv Sport Summer 2025 not yet scored
Jinyu C1 Comfort Summer 2025 not yet scored

New tires take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

Jinyu YU63 225-45-17- Honda Accord Euro 10,000 miles November 19, 2024
Absolute rubbish. Typical chinga tires.
Bought a new daily driver and some fool fitted these death-trap rubber bands. Changed for RE003s. A night and day difference.
What a waste of rubber.

Jinyu Gallopro YH18 185-55-16- Honda Jazz 18,000 miles December 13, 2022
We have a Honda Jazz, not the sportiest vehicle on the market by some margin. These tires were recommended as a good relative budget option by a local reputable vendor. They do what they say on the tin. Reasonable price, reasonable performance. A bit noisy for my liking and they have not lasted as well as I might have expected. Worn heavily on outside edges despite tracking being good when tested. Probably got just a couple of years out of then (c. 16000 miles). Have not had any major issues in the dry and they perform OK in the wet. Pretty good braking in dry conditions and OK if your braking sensibly in the wet. Slide a bit if having to brake hard in the wet. I would not recommend for a higher end vehicle driven fast and furious but as a tire for a day to day run around they are fine.

Jinyu YU63 265-35-19- Porsche Cayman s 4,000 miles August 2, 2022
Bought a used 2009 Cayman S and the dealer must have installed these tires in the rear (265). They are OK on dry surface. This would be all I care, because I don't go out with my sports car in the rain; but it can and does happen seldom that I get caught in it. The first time I was coming off a ramp to get into a 4 lane highway and I was in 3rd gear taking it easy (70 kms/hr); I hit the gas gently and I found myself almost 90 degrees sideways. Managed to recover. I had the car in sport mode and all driving aids off. The second time I was going up a short hill road and this time the car was in normal mode and -remembering the downright scary moment- all driving aids were on and I was driving at about 40 kms/hr. Well, the car still got itself sideway (this time about 45 degrees or so) and I managed to recover again, however I could tell you how many ripples there are in the concrete wall I almost pasted the car into. I would definitely not recommend this tire, unless you are into drifting when wet. And don't care for your life, that of the others and even less so, your car. I'm installing Michelin PS4 in a month.

Jinyu YU63 205-55-16- Volkswagen Jetta 2.0tdi Sport June 1, 2022
FIRSTLY: I DID NOT buy these tires, they were on the car when I brought it. OMG these tires just do not grip in the wet.. they cause the car to aquaplane even at low cornering speeds. I have now done about a 1000 miles on these tires and road noise and comfort level is not good.. they are cheap and that says it all. After sliding sidewise on a roundabout, I have NO confidence in the wet.. (no i was not driving fast.. 20-25mph) These still have 4/5mm on them but i am having ALL 4 tires changed to Michelin CrossClimate 2 As i do drive over to Europe(Germany) 2-3 times a years for visiting friends. I Would never personally buy these tires.. Frankly I think they are dangerous especially in the wet. I value my life.. so skimping on tires is a false economy.. There are better cheap tires on the market than these.. Best to look at reviews and buy the best quality you can afford on your budget.

Jinyu YU63 275-40-20- Land Rover 8,000 miles May 19, 2022
Came fitted on my RR Sport. Big problem with these tires. As per the review thread, the inner shoulder has delaminated on two of the tires. One was horrific, wires showing, but 90% if the tire width us okay. This is difficult to check being on the inner shoulder and I took the precaution of winding the steering on, I was shocked to find out what has happened. Tread is still above the wear lines, these things, I feel, are dangerous.
