Horrendous tires! We have replaced just about every component on the van, wheel bearings, drive shafts, all to try and cure the horrendous noise coming from under the van to no avail. Once there was nothing left to replace we tried another set of tires and found our problem. We also found a bulge in the wall. They handle ok both in wet and dry, a bit sluggish, but even if they gave a perfect ride we would still bin them.
The worst tires I ever bought. They only lasted 4 month 3k miles. Uneven wear on inner edge, feathered o cupped. Road noise is horrendous plus vibration. They still looks like new but undrivable. Suspension has been checked 3 times in a different garages, 3 times 4 wheel alignment done, everything is fine. So must be tires. So going to buy decent tires now.

Appalling.The worse tires I have ever experienced, I would go aso far as to say they were dangerous. The car dances all over the place on the motorway, requires constant directional correction. They drift when crossing the white lines and the traction control cuts in on even moderate bends.
I have had them for 500 miles and they are going in the bin. Shocking.

Used these on my 26 inch wheels on my truck and they have about 90 percent tread left on them since i only use them 3 months of the year and i have now noticed weather cracks all over them . I have had them for around 4 seasons . Always garage kept. Ive put no more then 15 thousand miles on them. But i guess u get what i pay for . Dont buy these . Spend a little more and get more .
My car certainly is not a luxury model nor particularly sporty. For a low price and attractive tread pattern these certainly fit my criteria and have met my expectations. I don't deny that they may be noisy but not so loud as some purport. For those who claim loss of wet pavement control, my thought is they have one or more tires installed against the directional tread design. This would cause water to accumulate under the tire rather than be expelled.
I've never driven on a worse tire. These things will slide all over round roundabouts in the rain and need the abs to kick in when braking moderately from 20mph in the cold (3 degrees ish) even when only mildly damp.
I immediately noticed the noise difference they made when fitted, they are loud.
I got all 4 tires for free, only a £40 fitting cost, and they still weren't worth the money. All 4 have now been changed to semi slick tires for trackdays, and even they handle significantly better in the wet and cold.
On the plus side if you can credit one, they are very hard compound so should last a fair few miles. I've done over 5k miles including a half day track session, and still 5-6mm tread left. Just a shame I've had to throw them away!
Terrible is the one word summary. The drone these tires made made me certain a wheel bearing had gone. Don't bother buying these tires! Only put up with them for 100 miles as the previous owner fitted them.
These tires are hideous. Had two put on after buying my car second hand to get it through an MOT. First time driving at more than 55mph I was convinced the rear diff or wheel bearings were shot. Had the car checked out and no one could find anything wrong. It was while speaking to one mechanic and he asked when did you get those tires fitted..BINGO! The wet weather performance is scary. These are just cheap, nasty copies of tires and in my opinion should not be sold.
Don't buy they are a waste of money.
New tires fitted when I purchased my car,March 2014 , I have done 6000 miles and the tires have cracked i between the treads and are just rotting away, the are on the front of my ford kuga. Not recommended at all.
