Given 75% while driving a Honda Prelude 2.2vtec (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
To the guy above who loses grip when changing gear in VTEC in the wet ... wise up. If you have proper old-fashioned VTEC, that means you're presumably shifting up at over 5000 revs - on a wet road. Which means you're caning your car in the stupidest of ways.

You deserve everything you get if that's the way you drive. Don't expect budget tires (or premium tires for that matter) to save your life for you.

Given 93% while driving a Rover 75 (215/55 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles

Ive been driving for 30 odd years & used all the top brands & can honestly say
these are just as good or even better , I cann't beleive some of the reviews by idiots on this website .
No grip , are a danger ......utter crap if people drove within the cars limit &
their own they could give a proper review .
At £60 each fully fitted they are a real bargin & i can fully recommend them
cheap doesn't always mean bad .
Had them on for just over 1,000 mls dry & wet & they are just fine.

Most impressed took the gamble and bought them but so far after 500 miles in the wet they are performing well.

Given 77% while driving a Jaguar S Type 2.7D (245/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
Fitted these to my Jag s type on front, always used Pirelli Rosso P Zero except for a bad experience of Goodyear formula 1 . Didn't expect much from them as around £120 per tire cheaper than Pirelli . Usually you get what you pay for but they are very good, I don't find them noisy they grip well and although early days yet they seem as good as any other tire I have had.

Very noisy tire! next to no feedback and they give no confidence in anything buy really dry conditions, Lose traction when changing gear in Vtec in the Dry :(

In the wet they lose traction when I hit Vtec and seriously struggle for grip when changing gear in Vtec!

Will be going on the back ASAP

Given 82% while driving a Ford (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
tires were put on by a dealer i purchased the car from and at first was a little upset that he ahd put cheap tires on but have to say the first 1000 miles I have done in the car they have lots of grip both dry and wet and they have impressed me that they are very very quiet tires. in the uk the are also branded evergreen tires but getting them with the jinyu name (made by same company) saves you at least £25 a tire or more fitted. my last tires were bridgestone re50 and these cheap chinees tires feel like they have way more grip than my ds3 sport with the bridgestones
