these tires camestock for my first car. i was clueless back then and used these impending doom tires for 3 years until they were worn. dry grip is fair. wet grip is absolutely horrible. i was driving 40 km/h on a wet road and my car slid to the opposite lane when taking a corner. that, and other numerous incidents. switched to PS3, felt more confident and understood about tires more.

cheap rubber, only possible use is to burn them on track during dry condition

Honestly, i did not research anything prior to this incident. I spun my car and rammed into the side wall one a ram going up the highway. It was a rainy day, where i was travelling around 50-60km/h. VERY BAD WET TRACTION.

I recommend to search other tires as its not worth it in any occasion.

Got these stock fitted. These tires are good for normal driving below 120km/h. On wet road, bad grip. Very dangerous to use on wet road above 60km/h. Its cheap an economical, saves fuel. Buy these if you need short-term tires.

These tires were fitted new in my car 6 months ago. But the rear tires began to exhibit a slight bulge that caused the tires to go out of shape. Prior to that, these tires do not perform well at all, they are loud and extremely harsh.

Got them second hand. Dry grip is acceptable. Spun my car today in the rain making a larger u turn. No grip at all during rain, total disaster and dangerous to be fitted on any cars.

I finally got rid of these tires which came with my car. Around 30,000km in and 2 years. It ended with a puncture, one side wall crack, one side wall already cracked (replaced with spare), and one tire with a bubble about to explode. Ask the while dealing with poor grip and noise. I don't know what's up but i don't see how these tires are allowed to be sold.

this is my stock tire..very dangerous on wet road, my car had slipped numerous times during rainy day, even in moderately hard breaking under 50 kmh, even for an economical tire, not worth your family safety, plus very noisy especially on highway..changed to michelin, felt safer and confident in breaking and cornering but very expensive!!!

I have had 4 Synergy M5's fitted recently. Today was the coldest day since last winter in the UK & at 7.45am the temperature was -0 with black ice on treated roads. I can confirm that these tires are not good atall in these conditiions with my vehicle constantly loosing tractirebberon at relatively low speeds & on straight roads. I had to reduce my speed to around 40mph for self preservation which meant I had heavy goods vehicles having to overtake me.

Using Silverstone M5 in my Forte. Noisy and hard tire. Wet drive is good with or without stability control. Will not change to this brand again. But good for long term use with sacrifice in comfortable. I will go for Michelin tire which i use in my previous car. Michelin make differences with just two tires replaced.

Tires have very little grip in wet, aquaplaned into side barrier writing off front of vehicle. Tires telegraphed nothing of pending doom. I ended up being a passenger. Better dry grip however had rear wheels slide in dry with little effort while cornering. I only drive a 1.6ltr hence god help those with more power through drive wheels....

My stock tires..It has very bad wet grip and wet braking performance. Experienced nightmare with its wet braking ability. Emergency brake with just 40kmh, your car can drag very long before it comes to a complete stop. Gentle acceleration on wet road is enough to spin the tires. Wear however is very minimum, 80% of tread when i hit 24k KM and then i change all 4 to Michelin PS3.
