Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

7th/7
Average aquaplaning reserves, low rolling resistance.
Lacking wet grip and dangerous driving behavior, delayed steering with poor balance and treacherous oversteering on both wet and dry roads, dangerously long braking distances.
The Winrun R330 had a mid pack objective performance, but subjectively it was an easy tire to drive with understeer balance. It was also one of the cheapest of the group and had the second lowest rolling resistance.

I have a Lexus GSF and interested to see if there is any or much road noise transferred into the cabin. Do these tires offer a relatively smooth driving experience or more firm?

Review Summary

Based on 33 user reviews

Winrun R330 feedback is mixed, with strong polarization. Many low- and mid-scoring reviews report very poor wet grip, unpredictable handling, noise, balance/vibration issues, and fast wear, while a cluster of high-scoring users praise value, quietness, and good grip/handling in both dry and wet for everyday driving. Overall sentiment skews negative given the volume and severity of low scores, but some buyers find the tire acceptable for the price and light use.

Strengths
  • Good value/price
  • Quiet/low noise (for some)
  • Decent dry grip
  • Acceptable wet grip for some users
  • Comfortable ride
Areas for Improvement
  • Poor wet grip and traction
  • Unpredictable handling/oversteer-understeer
  • Vibration/balance issues
  • Fast/poor tread wear
  • Road noise (reported by several)

Given 33% while driving a Tesla Model S (265/35 R21) on mostly motorways for 1,200 spirited miles
Had to buy these in a pinch for the rear of my car. Absolutely horrendous steering feel and handling. Super unpredictable and felt awful at higher speeds. It wandered all over the road. Comfort was average and can't comment on life span as these stayed on the car just long enough for me to drive home. Replaced with Michelin PS4S and the difference is astronomically high. Would look at other options.

Winrun tires suck. Completely.
I purchased the car with these fitted to the front and Bridgestones on the rear.
They are hands-down the worst tires I have every had the misfortune to experience.
Zero wet-weather grip - these tires are DANGEROUS. There is plenty of tread left, but they are about to go in the bin.
Best avoided.

Tires don't support rain! They reach the limit very quickly and slide easily.
Good behavior on dry ground.

Ok dry tire.
Terrible wet tire.
Don't ever push these hard, they'll oversteer then try to run themselves off the rim.
Couldn't wait to get rid of them

Drives well especially considering the price, I didn't buy new I got second hand ones that were between 1-4 years old and they drive fine and I can be quite hard on the corners. I think it depends on the profile you get and the type of car. I drive a low to the ground camry sportivo and its fine with them I assume the taller the vehicle and the thinner the profile the worse your experience will be with cheap tires. Pick based on all the variables.

Given 41% while driving a Honda Civic 5th Gen Sedan 1.4L (185/65 R14) on mostly town for 8,000 average miles
My review will be subjective because i have only ever driven Chinese tires.
Previous tires were some knockoff brand that had been worn out below the minimum level and had a dried out rubber. They had no grip left.
On the day of install, it was pouring heavily and the winrun performed superbly. I tested dry braking the next day and i was impressed, i attributed it to the summer pattern as we've always gone for all seasons(which are usually better on Lebanese roads where you might get dust, dirt, or gravel at any point). Its by far the best chinese tire i have ever driven. The grip started falling as the outer dark rubber layer got worn out within a few month. And then continued to fall down but slower up to @6000km driven, where there tires got half worn. At that point i got suspension damage resulting in over 2 degrees of toe in simultaneously with an incorrect reinstall of the steering wheel which wasn't fixed. Less than a year later at 13000km the tire is worn to minimum level on the outside, and the stitching is showing on the inside.
Now i got suspension fixed, alignment done, and gone back to all-seasons as they have an edge on Lebanese roads where the first hour of every rainfall turns the roads into an ice-skating arena, so the extra bite on the all-seasons will help.

Overall happy with the grip(again i never tested premium tires on this car), not happy with the durability as even without the misalignment the tire wouldn't have lived beyond 15000km.
Friend has installed same winruns on a rwd drive car despite my warnings, will submit review about miles driven when they wear out.

Given 31% while driving a Nissan LEAF Tekna (225/55 R17) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Absolutely the worst tires I've ever had the misfortune to have on a car. My wife's nissan leaf is fitted with these and they ruin the car.

They seem to roar at 50mph or above, seem to have the worst balance despite being checked twice.

In the wet it would be comical if it wasn't that they are just dangerous. Sliding and I can spin the wheels at 10mph with a little throttle! Braking distance is poor and you never have confidence in the grip.

The contrast with my Goodyear EfficientGrip2 on my other car is staggering.

I sourced these tires for my younger sister. She drives a Hyundai 130 hatchback 2015 model which she bought brand new but had not changed the Hankook tires since then and has the car serviced annually. She does not drive the car hard, had 45K on the clock and her tires had not reached their markers yet but were getting close. She wanted to get new tires because she felt her tires were getting hard and brittle and had gone past the six years life span and were now 8 years old. She wanted new tires but was shocked by how expensive tires were and equivalent to the brand she had on her car when she bought it. I took her to my Tirebarn dealer and we chose four fitted and balanced Winrun 330 tires, including a $60 wheel alignment- total cost was $420. Best other offer she got elsewhere was a mid-range brand similarly fitted for $600. Hankook, Dunlop, Goodyear even more, let alone other 'name' brands. She is very happy with them and says they are quiet, grip well in both wet and dry conditions and maintain the road well. She has no issues with them. This was in 2023. I intend getting Winruns for my 2017 Kia Rondo next year as well. The tire reviews I have read say these tires are excellent tires for the price you pay and perform well.

If you are into aqua planing, tail sliding and having your family car unsafe then these are the tires for you!! Wet grip is horrible and found myself whilst driving like a granny still losing grip and sliding at roundabouts, don't even bother cornering in the wet!. I have these on 255/35/18 on the rear and 225/40/18 in the front, my worn out Pzero's handled better and regret the day I purchased them, I guess you get what you pay for. Tires have bad longevity as I have had them for 6 months and the fronts are worn by about 9mm, under no circumstances purchase these tires.

I've gotten these tires a few weeks ago. I previously had Sailun touring LS tires. These handle better, much better grip and definitely much better ride. I would use these over the touring LS any day. I believe the Atrezzo elite was a close competitor. Some may say the atrezzo elite was better, but I don't share the same view.

I have never felt more unsafe - bought two run flats for rear to match final cycle for front. I have had four sets on back for one set on front. Back end of car feels loose like on ice or mud, roundabouts in wet are frightening. Car is well maintained, runs and steers in a straight line, though I will get alignment checked in a day or two. The old worn out Potenzas fell far more tight and safe than these cheap, rubbish tires from PRC. You get what you pay for and back to Potenza for me. My Wincrap tires are about three months old, have done about 10k, and I’ll happily see them gone.
