Across 53 owner ratings the Jinyu YU63 averages 68%. Owners rate Dry Grip highest at 7.7 out of 10 and Wet Grip lowest at 6.1. 10 of those reviews come from owners past 10,000 miles. 60% of owners score it 70% or better.
Replaced front tires with these, still early days, less than 1000 miles done. Immediately noticeable is a softer sidewall, so not so good on limit unless pressures are slightly above recommended; tendency to tramline; definitely noisier than the Falken ZIEX 914 eco run they replace, didn't think 2 decibel would be so obvious. Wet driving is tentative too say the least, not too sure just yet maybe need to bed in a little. But for a tire at half the cost, the overall performance isn't half as good, certainly better than that. Time will tell whether a further set will follow.
These tires are the 3rd set i've had on my car, previous tires were Kuhmos and Hi Flys and i have to say the're the best so far.
They give me confidence in cornering and the turn in is very precise, also quiet and comfortable. I'm sure the're one of the better tires to come out of China and at £50 a corner for 225/45x17's, they represent really good value.
Look to be wearing very well and evenly after 6,000 miles. 90% as good as the "top" brands for 50% of the price. No brainer really.

Bought these after a few years of Nexen tires. The ride is really comfortable, due I suppose to a soft sidewall. I can't comment on the wear yet but so far it's looking ok. I have to disagree with people who say damp/wet handling is good as I have lost the back of the car twice now on these tires, something that has never happened before. However I am prepared to adapt my driving to compensate for this as the tires are so comfortable.

I don't care what anyone says about these tires!
They are amazing, I don't know about small car or other passenger car but on a 4x4 the jinyu yu63 are good.
Having been through 2 sets of Pirellis in 18 months I was shocked at the wear and tear on the manufactured recommend.
After putting the jinyu tire on are just as good as the Pirellis and amazed by them and half the cost of Pirellis it's a winner.
Certain types of jinyu tires may ride different on different cars but on a 4x4 they are spot on.

Bought these boots for a Kia Rio to replace my YU61 tires. Both YU63 and YU61 impressed. 25,000 minimal mileage before replacement needed. Great grip, feedback and good wear rate. These should not be deemed as a budget range tire as they are better than the manufacturer fitted continental tires which did not last 15,000 miles. I do a lot of mileage for work and will be buying these again.
Wow, grippy, Comfortable, confident, cheap, quiet, all good stuff,
These tires are great, they have transformed my car. Previous Toyo tr1 were poor by comparison, I can now be confident on bends in the wet and dry they are quiet, bumps are less harsh, and fuel consumption is 5mpg better, even good at -7 in the mornings.
Highly recommended
And a bargain athe £54 a pair.
Fitted to the Fabia 1.2TSi Estate we bought in April. They are frankly awful. They were fitted to the front of the car and were noisy and had very bad handling characteristics in damp / wet weather.
On a damp corner at 15mph I managed to get chronic understeer from them when driving sedately. They had done 6500miles when we bought the car and I did another 8000 miles before calling enough. They still had 5.5mm of tread left.....
In wet or damp weather it felt like I was driving on glass and ice rather than a damp road surface. They inspired no confidence.
A very bad tire in anything other than hot dry condition. Very noisy and made a horrible droning noise.
I will not buy or recommend anyone else to buy. Spend the little extra for a decent set of tires.
Swapped for Falken ZE914 and transformed the car from nervous to solid and quiet.
Had to replace 2 tires on my S40 but when I got to the tire fitter, these were so cheap, at £52 a corner it seemed rude not to change all 4 for matching ones. So far these are great, had Vredesteins on the front before and these are more positive on turn in and quieter all round. Mpg hasn't changed from before as far as I can tell so far but will keep an eye out.
For £208 for a whole set of 205/50/17 tires fitted, I can't fault them. Goodyear Eagle F1's etc are double the cost at least but are they twice as good? I highly doubt it.
