These tires were on the first FTO I brought. In the dry they weren't too bad, but in the wet it was like driving on ice. Car would wheel spin when moving off, braking was shocking as wheels would just lock up. These tires are dangerous in the wet, avoid at all cost. The people giving these tires decent reviews have obviously never had decent tires.

Been using this tires. Bought for about $180each. Mainly city driving, occasionally freeway and been through two track days. Last for 12590miles.
Dry grip is excellent, no question about it.
Unless there are big water puddles, I still drive in the wet with good confidence. I say wet is still great too.
However, it is a very noisy tire. And it progressively got worse. But it does not matter to me since my ride is already noisy.
I say it is one of the best performance tires for its price. It feels somewhat like semi slicks without the price tag.

Writing about the Sunew YS618 given 70% (215-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Had these on my 200BHP mitsubishi FTO running some slight negative camber and tbh I am amazed at the poor ratings! well, the wet these give me no confidence at all, often spinning up but in the dry I thought for a budget tire they are fantastic! seriously I had lots of confidence in them in the dry, almost as much as my old set of paradas! seemed heard wearing enough also. but in all fairness, they are rubbish int the wet however I drive sensibly in the wet and didnt have any huge issues.

Just got these tires about a month ago. First impression is the way it looks. The thread pattern looks similar to semi slicks. On dry surface, it gives me absolute confidence, knowing that they it will grip. On wet surface, they grip very well, much better than i expected, probably they are still new. Road noise is still the the same as my previous Kumhos KU25, does not bother me much since i already have a loud car. Cannot comment on its wear, but it is unlikely to last as long as general road tires cause the threadwear is only 180.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Agressive thread pattern and attractive price tag are two which caught my attention.
Road noise is average, dry drip is excellent. wet grip average. Wear is pretty good, still have 60-70% thread left after 10,000km.

Suffered a puncture due to a nail and faulthy valve within the period.

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Superb tire on offer a lot of the time so makes a very good purchase. not good in the snow, but you only have to look at the tread pattern to know that was going to be the case. a little noisy on smoother roads but the fto doesn't help with road noise. done plenty of track driving and these really hold up well!

Great perfomance. Probably the best bang for your buck for its price range. Used the tires for 2years until it wears out.
