Linglong Green Max HP010 Reviews - Page 2

Drove these tires last summer. I got these symmetric Greenmax HP010 tires due to an confusing website from which i thought i was ordering asymmetric Greenmax UHP -tires. These two are completely different style of tires, and not to be confused together. This HP010 is comfortable touring style tire, as opposed to UHP which is supposed to be the sporty one. HP010 is not a "High Performance tire" as it is described in "Tire reviews" description of the tire.

Anyways, this fact doesn't make this tire a bad one, not at all. It is a very comfortable and quiet, plain and symmetric passenger car tire. Although it is not a crisp handling sporty tire, it's straight line keeping ability is good and steering response is sufficient to daily drive and occasional country road trips for fun. Steering response is rather soft, but still logical and stiffening towards ends without surprising behavior.

As to grip in wet roads, even relatively cold ones (Finland), i could not get these tires to slip on wet asphalt, even as i was deliberately punishing the car and the tires in winding country roads. Of course they will slip, but at that point the speed is mindless anyway. Chinese are catching up in this area, obviously.

These tires could perhaps be best described as "Old Man Style" -tires, without negative connoitations. They are comfortable (civilized even on rotten roads full of potholes around here), quiet and dirt cheap, and seem to be lasting rather well by their tread. Also due to being a symmetric tire, this ensures easy seasonal cross-rotations.
