Winrun R330

High Performance Summer Tested by Tire Reviews

The Winrun R330 is a budget high-performance summer tire that trades outright grip for a low purchase price and generally agreeable everyday road manners. In normal dry commuting it can feel competent and comfortable for the money, which explains why many owners view it as strong value. However, both driver feedback and independent tests repeatedly flag a major weakness in wet-weather traction and braking, which can significantly reduce confidence in the rain.

Winrun R330 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 37 reviews

Driver feedback on the Winrun R330 is mixed, with many praising its very strong value for money and acceptable-to-good dry-road manners for everyday commuting. However, a sizable portion of users report very poor wet-weather traction (easy sliding/understeer/aquaplaning) and quicker-than-expected wear, which undermines confidence despite the low purchase price. Some owners also mention vibration/balancing or out-of-round issues that can spoil ride quality.

I used micheiln tires before, and i saw tire review on youtube. someone recommed winrun for ev. Really cost effective one, cuz i donot have enough budget on tires, the stores recommend it for me. The driving experience is surprisingly quiet on both urban roads and highways. The tires include with slient spong that reduce the noise from driving. This brand for daily communt is high-perfomrance. smoothly on acceleration sterring and braking on city road. but on mountain road, tire slip at high speed on sharp bends such as hairpin corners. it need to be improve!!! and drive slowly on mountain road!!!!
winrun also save fuel for driving, under 98kmh, only consump for 147wh/km
the prices are really competive, only priced at only about one‑fourth to one‑third of michelin tires.

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.

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.

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.

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.
