This is normal for that tire, as long as they all say "outside" on the outside they are mounted correctly.

Lassa tire very easily to get puncture. Every month at least 1 tire puncture by nail. The rest of it is ok though.

As a Michelin die-hard I wasn't pleased when my employer insisted on Phenoma as his tire of choice! As a national sales rep I spend a long time on the road and demand alot of my tires. However, I was seriously impressed...I couldn't fault them!! I would buy them again and would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.

Worst summer tires I have had in my 22 years of driving experience. Very poor grip in dry and wet. Grip is ok only in very very hot days. For 2 years of driving and after 20000+miles they showed very little wear. Very noisy when breaking. Poor handling and understear in more agresive driving in the mountain roads. Absolutely I do not recomend this tire.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Lassa Phenoma? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I had these tires fitted after a set of nankang NS20s desintigrated. I wish i had found these tires first, for the price they are amazing. Wet grip is excellent, dry grip is phenominal {no pun intended}. They are to be totally fair a little noisey but i can live with it for the price. I will definately be buying these again.
The tire made by Bridgestone and the tire you can rely on. Strongly recommended.

I used these tires for the 3rd time in a row now and never a disappointed with it. They last for a very long time and drive comfort and handling is nothing short compared to the top brands. I think these tires deserve better reviews. Used these tires for over 60,000 miles before these I tried Bridgestone and Michelin tires they where very good but for half the price you can get tires as good as them I have read many reviews that aren't good but don't understand why because according to my research it is made in Turkey in the same factory and materials as Bridgestone tires and they are half the price of it.
I have driven the car for 5 years on what the trade called budget / hoon tires but they have had fantastic grip and never screeched or felt any loss of grip even at speed on hair pin bends. These are my third set of tires and the trade recommended these tires and I have always felt confident heading into a bend in the Quattro until these tires were fitted. My previous tires had 230mm of contract with the road, the phenoma only 200mm of contact. Simple physics and crap design. The feedback in the Audi Quattro is now comparable to my RAV4.
The worst summer tire I have ever put on any of my cars. It is very noisy, feels very soft and unstable in hot conditions with poor grip on turns, feels like you have a flat tire. It performs better in rainy cold days, but still quite noisy.
I reviewed these in 2012 on my Astra SRI diesel 160 and they lasted two years including a winter in the snow (they were surprisingly grippy for summer types). No issues at all in any way.
I have just purchased them again and will continue to do so until something better comes along in the same price bracket.
They are hard to beat in this price range in my opinion.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with the other reviewers, I had a pair of these fitted to the rear of my car and the handling has deteriorated dramatically. The most worrying aspect is the car now drifts to the nearside meaning the steering wheel is not centerd when driving straight ahead. I have returned to the fitting center on a number of occasions, but having checked the 4-wheel alignment is all within spec they have now washed their hands of any problem, Savoy Tires in Hull if you were wondering. Interestingly, another (more knowledgeable) tire fitting center, that I have approached on the suggestion of the Vauxhall main dealer, has advised the replacement of the Lassa's saying there are better equivalent brands on the market...this may possibly be 'sale-speak' but if ditching the Lassa's returns the handling I was used to before having them fitted it may well be worthwhile.
Put two of these on rear of my MGZT to replace Kumho K39's. Very pleased with them so far and will now put another two on the front. Excellent value and quality at an outstanding price
