We have a set of YU63 275 / 40ZR20 160Y EXTRA LOAD tires on a 2015 long wheelbase VW Crafter van.
Any chance you would know the correct tire pressure?

Sorry, tire pressures are vehicle and load specific. I would use the manufacturers recommended pressures as a starting point which can be found online or in the door shut.

“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.”
“AVOID DANGEROUS!!! 18 month old tire. Catastrophic failure in the sidewall when it blew out on the motorway at around 70mph. Garage was horrified to find no wirework in the sidewall. So you're really rolling the dice if...”
“Comparable wet and dry grip to Pirelli's but twice the mileage for half the price. Currently on 41,000 miles on this set of Yu63's and not yet down to the wear bars. Would definitely be putting another set on.”

What a waste of rubber.
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.

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.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Jinyu YU63? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
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.
Comparable wet and dry grip to Pirelli's but twice the mileage for half the price. Currently on 41,000 miles on this set of Yu63's and not yet down to the wear bars. Would definitely be putting another set on.
BEWARE New set of Jinyu YU63's came with the used car (BMW 435d x-drive - 2 years old at purchase). As the tires were new, I ran with them, knowing they were not a top brand (potentially a big mistake). No problems for 7000miles, or so I thought, but at the next annual service/MoT both rear tires were condemned; one with inner face sidewall failure - bulging, not visible from outside - and one with delamination of tread - again hard to spot during routine care and maintenance. The car now has a full set of new boots - the BMW recommended Bridgestone Potenza S001's - they are excellent. I run Conti Sport Contact on all my other cars and the Bridgestones are as good or better. I will never have a cheap set of tire's again. Not Recommended - potential disaster waiting to happen - imagine a complete side wall failure at 70 on the motorway. Cheap tires are a false economy.
Fitted to x5 I bought by garage and went in for service and mechanic laughed at me for having these fitted as on inspection the inner sidewall was delaminating and potentially causing a blowout with disastrous results. I hear these have a sidewall issue and indeed I feel lucky to have ditched them before they ditched me
I bought a set of these as a test after going through a set of other Chinese tires super quick. At the same time as getting them fitted, I got a four wheel alignment done.
These tires have lasted a significant amount longer than the other set of tires I had, and I would say I hoon them on a daily basis. For the price I can't complain and I often find during cornering they are very predictable and grippy in the dry. In the wet however, they do grip okay, but once they break in a corner, the car will slide very did suddenly. My BMW 320d isn't a 5000 horsepower machine but it's not a 1.0 yarris, and being rwd I do enjoy a cheeky bit of sideways fun. These tires are decent and I'm about to buy them again.
Mine are below the wear indicators but still grip great in the dry but would probably suck in heavy rain.

Absolutely outstanding tires. I've had them all and paid for the best. These were recommended to me and I dubiously tried. I wouldn't use anything else. Wear quality is so good compared to pirelli, handling is great well done guys, à great tire.
I THINK JINYU TYRES ARE AMAZING I WOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING ELSE ON MY MERCEDES. VALUE FOR MONEY AND EXCELLENT GRIP ESPECIALLY GOING SIDEWAYS ON THE WAY TO THE GYM!!
I'VE RECOMMEND JINYU'S TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT WORK TOO!
I CANT WAIT FOR THE ONES ON MY CAR FITTED TO WEAR DOWN TO GET SOME MORE AND ILL CONVINCE MY WIFE TO FIT SOME ON HER BMW TOO!!!
WEZ - DEVOTED FAN
Bought a new Car with these fitted and all seemed fine until it rained, the tires aren’t too bad In the dry but are horrendous in the wet - gave them a couple of weeks but had to change them, wouldn’t want to risk driving on these going into winter.
Fine for pottering about in the dry but you will inevitably hit something when you try an emergency stop.
Terrible/scary when accelerating, braking, steering and cruising in the wet.
