I just bought these tires to replace some Goodyears. These tires are very dangerous in the wet weather. I have twice lost the car on roundabouts. I now have no confidence in these tires. They are extremely noise at any speed. At high speed, you would swear you were driving and old style Landrover with Offroad tires. Please do not buy these. When the rain stops, I'm taking the car to get some decent tires.

Bought a nearly-new Ford Fiesta ST three months ago. On the day of purchase I noticed that there was a screw embedded in the rear-driver's side tire (Bridgestone Potenza), though the dealership kindly offered to replace the tire for free as a precautionary measure. The Sunew YS112 was the only tire they were able to fit on the day (would have had to wait three days for another Bridgestone Potenza to be delivered). After only 1 month and 500 miles, I began to notice cracks on the outer sidewall. Decided to replace the tire after 3 months and less than 1400 miles, by which point the side walls were quite badly cracked and even beginning to flake.

The car now has Bridgestone Potenzas on all four corners again, which has noticeably improved the car's handling. Will stay far, far away from the Sunew brand in the future, and advise others to do the same. I've never known a tire to deteriorate in such a short space of time, after covering so few miles.

As soon as I got these appallingly, dreadfully crap things on my Focus 3 weeks ago I realised my life was endangered in practically every environment. Even though I have only clocked 390 miles on them they are getting off tomorrow for some decent Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tires. Already I am seeing cracks on 2 tires' sidewalls as well!

Won't be getting stuck with these crappy, trashy deathtraps anymore. I've had enough.

I am writing on behalf of a friend, he just lost his brand new car today in a crash related solely to these absolutely, unimaginably HORRENDOUS tires. The car was on a loan and thankfully he did not suffer serious injuries.

This brand should be sued upon and forbidden, banned throughout the world...

Brought my toyota mr2 with freshly refurbed alloys with these dodgy tires fitted. They have covered less then 1200 mile since new.On the MOT one front tire was found to have dangerously split at the moulding line on the side wall. Had this tire replaced thinking it was just pot hole damage,now i have found that the other 3 tires are all starting to split at the same area.VERY DANGEROUS make of tire should be banned,even before i noticed them falling apart on me.They made my car's handling in the wet dangerous,the slightish bit of dampness felt like driving on black ice.PLEASE NEVER BUY THESE TYRES YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.If you have them fitted replace as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!

I had to write this as a warning to anyone trying to save a few quid and considering budget tires. REMOVE THESE ONES FROM YOUR LIST!

Less than a year and still with loads of tread on I had my MOT and the guy failed it on these crap tires. The reason - they had split both on the inside and outside row of tread in the tread groove all the way round the entire tire making them not only crap but dangerous as hell - especially if like me you have your whole family in the car with you.

I say again, do not buy - I have another brand of budget tires on the other axle that were fitted a couple of months before the Sunews that have equivalent tread but no cracks and so are serviceable.

These tires should not be available in this country.

Car dealer i bought car off had just put these tires on, after 5000 miles, the car failed the MOT because all 4 tires had split on the inside, rubbish grip all round, better paying more money for better tires than wrapping your car around a tree. never buying again and luckily the car dealer is paying for new tires
