The most recent reviews, in their own words
I agree with the Runaway comment. These just spin up pulling out of a junction anymore than on idle and lose traction in the corners. They were fitted when I bought the car and have done about 4k miles on them but am taking them off as the roads get wetter as they are boarder line dangerous.
I noticed the tire model changes frequently perhaps to avoid long-term reviews. These should be called 'runaway' tires. They are attractively cheap they perform a little below average and quite tolerable in the dry but in the wet they lose all traction and feel quite dangerous so I would never buy them again they are simply not cheap enough.
Pneus pas très usés mais déformés après 29 800 km montés à l'arrière sur un espace 2.
Bon à changer.
Bon à changer.
Replaced two front tires, lasted 3 years and 14000 miles. Have had no trouble with them, but I am now old and calmer now that i am retired. The original Goodyear tires lasted over 25000 miles.
Had these fitted to my Seat X-Perince worst tires in the world very poor dry grip, awful wet grip had no confidence in these tires at all, if you want to end up in a ditch buy these tires, if you want to stay on the road buy something else, there was plenty of wear on these tires but change them because they are RUBBISH
