Hard riding, hard compound budget tire that came with the budget car bought new. Wet grip is verging on dangerous and tires are harsh and loud on rougher surfaces. Only redeeming features are low price and low-ish wear rate. Replaced with Kumho ECSTA KU31 tires, which resulted in an immediate improvement in all vehicle dynamic aspects.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
The dry grip is decent and presents no problem at all. The wet grip is so dangerous. The braking on wet roads is long and the ABS cannot compensate. The handling on wet roads is precarious and leads you to not go more than 40 km/h on turns and down hills. Dangerous car on wet. On snow : 0
The wear rate was excellent. After more than 60'000 km they are good and little wear. Will not buy again surely.
Tires fitted for 20000 miles. Since I bought them they are very bad. Didn't change because of price and inflation rates.
Average tire on dry surface.
Very dangerous on wet. Worst handling on wet. Aquaplaning +
I won't recommend to any.
Got these stock on the proton saga, the tires are good for daily driving (according to road safety) its fairly a decent tire for those who drive slow and steady. When it comes to cornering at high speed you will feel that tires will start to loose grip. For wet grip when new is quite good but when worn down it feels as if you’re gliding on the surface of the water when at higher speeds. The tires are abit noisy and it doesnt really eat surface imperfections that much.This tire is recommended if youre opting for something cheap and does the job at getting you from point A to point B while driving cautiously.
I have these tires on my Mazda BT50 dual cab and have done over 40,000 km on them around Australia and currently live in the Pilbara WA and they stand up to the corrugated dirt roads very well.
Great value and do the job brilliantly. Highly recommend November 2019
Great value and do the job brilliantly. Highly recommend November 2019
This was the worse tires ever fitted on my car. Slipping everywhere in the wet even when new, wet grip is very poor, do not get these if you are living in area that has a lot of rainfalls. Wheel spin from standstill, I never dare to go above 70kmh with these in the wet, experienced hydroplaning once luckily nothing bad happened. Dry grip was fair but I would not risk taking high speed corners with it, it is very noisy as well, road noise was very apparent. Highly not recommended. I would suggest that you invest a little more for better budget tires.
