My ex wife had 4 of these these fitted to my car and increased my life insurance, needless to say when it rains these tires are deadly. If you value life pay another £40 per tire
These tires became very loud as they wore. They grip okay in dry weather, and not too good in wet weather. I have to accelerate very easy when raining. When turning, the tires always seem they want to slip. I also have to keep tire pressure at around 40psi to make the tires wear evenly. The only good thing about the tires is the cheap price. The tires have about 33,000 miles on them and still have about 5,000 miles left. You get what you paid for.

Dreadful tires, no grip at all in the wet and damn right dangerous. Bought my car with these on them and can't wait to take them off. Rock solid tire, no progressiveness at all, in the dry it feels like these are made of concrete and in the wet doesn't feel like there is even a tire there. DO NOT BUY. Spend abit more money and survive.

Super cheap tire but don't let stop you from buying it. Does very well for what it is. I have had 3 sets of these on a 2006 Audi s4 and now on my 2016 Audi s3. They get noisy after about 15k and would recommend changing them out after 20k. For the price you can get 2 1/2 sets compared to a brand name tire. Performance is good for track days and honestly I would rather burn up a new set of these and buy a backup then use a used set of conti and then have to replace them. Get them. Not much to loose for trying.
This is low quality cheap tires. This tires made terrible noise, the noise sounds like worn wheel bearing , yes because of this noise I replaced my car 4 side hub wheel bearings and rear diff as the noise is with the vibration.cause my spent lot of money to replaced my car parts. And finally I changed another set of wheels with tires from my friend's car that noise is gone.
The noise is come with vibration like ABS occur.this cause my paid the professional diagnosis my ABS. The noise and vibration would very noticeable when slowing down from 20 mph to stop at traffic lights.
Please think about that when you buying this tires. It using hard rubber which makes terrible grip when wet .
My conclusion is I'm fxxking regret having this tires.
I bought a 1996 Ford Scorpio Ultima RWD with 2 of these on the front and 1 Avon and 1 Triangle on the rear. I have done 24000 miles city and highway driving and the 3 triangle tires hardly show any wear, even if I wasn't always gentle on them, the Avon has reached the legal limit of thickness and picked up a nail somewhere, creating slow puncture.
The Triangle tires are excelllent on dry asphalt, not the best on wet, but thats with heavy foot and no t/c rwd, but comparing to Avon it performed much better on wet and dry. On a rainy day Avon tire would spin first everytime with moderate acceleration, taking Triangle with it.
I don't find these tires bad, they wear great, they're NOT noisy as some reviews suggest. I've had tires that were twice as expensive and they wore twice as fast and were twice as noisy! Also they look great on my car and compliment alloy wheels quite well.
I own a 02 mazda millenia with infiniti q45 wheel I got a set of four 225 40 18 tires I all way get for my car the nexen n3000 but this time I decided to get this tires I live in Miami fl if being raining all week and this tires are perfect in wet or dry terrain no complain and the look good In my car
Great tire for the price! Road noise is minimal. Seem to be wearing well. Perfect for the average driver or even the one who gets a little aggressive at times.

These Talon tires were fitted on my car when I bought it. Very noisy and wet grip appalling. So bad I thought there was diesel on road and reported it only to find it was my tires. Just took wheels off to fit mud flaps and could see the uneven wear. Getting a new set of Dunlop's on Tuesday. Can't wait.
These tires were installed on the car when I bought it. They are not good tires.
Having said that, I've read some interesting reviews that claim these slip so much on water that it's like driving on ice. Or that the road noise is so bad you almost can't hear yourself think. Both of these are gross exaggerations, IMO. Having said that, they are not good tires.
Road noise is very noticeable, right down to the vibration of the tread when you slow down for a red light. I've never encountered tires with this much road noise, even with mud and snow tires. I could still hear myself think, but it was bad. The rubber does seem to be very hard, which can't help the road noise.
Traction is marginal. They are summer tires, so forget snow - that can't be held against them. But their traction on all other surfaces was average at best. They were on my Mustang, so losing traction from on strong acceleration or while turning a corner from a stop was fairly common.
At highway speeds the stability of these tires was NOT confidence inducing, even though I never lost control or anything like that. They simply felt, at times, like they wanted to drift. I never felt locked onto the road. Very troubling for tires that bill themselves as some form of performance tire.
With that, I seem to get more performance, traction, stability, and quietness from the Michelin snow tires I replaced them with - not a ringing endorsement for Triangle's "performance" tires. The Michelins roll a lot smoother and more easily too.
The only positive thing I can say about the Triangle tires is that I got a few compliments on how cool they looked. I don't really care about that, though. Their performance was lackluster and bad, even for inexpensive tires. I've had cheap tires before and my biggest complaint about those was that they didn't last very long. The Triangles seem to last o.k. but the rest of the performance is simply not very good.
These should be the poster-tires for "you get what you pay for".
I drove these for 1 year and 10,000 miles on my Mustang GT.
For the money, these a great. A little noisy, but I got a full set of big boots for my tuned Golf GTI for £180. Unless your'e Lewis Hamilton, they'll do fine. I,think they are made using the old Michelin Pilot Sport moulds, the tread pattern is identical. Good for the money.

I went for these as they were inexpensive when I needed a whole set of four.
I didn't expect much but they grip extremely well in the dry & also pretty good in the wet.
They are wearing well too.
There's a but coming :-)
They are do noisy!
It's because they have quite a chunky aggressive tread separation which is probably why they are so good in the wet.
