the worst tires I ever use. after 10000km they melt and I don't drive aggressive. I will never use again this brand even for free

Decided to scrimp on tires again last year, as my motoring interests lay elsewhere. The tires were recommended by the garage, read a couple of reviews and they seemed ok. Got a set fitted, they were cheap.

The dry grip on these tires is good, they had a lot of feedback in the dry and could confidently corner at speed. The wear on them is excellent as well, I would note however that they do squeal a bit on some surfaces. Got some funny looks cornering sharply as they were squealing, for what would seem like not that sharp a corner. Now, on to the wet...

I felt these tires were ok in the wet at first, but have now decided they are pretty dangerous if you are travelling at any speed. They lose grip quickly and you will find yourself understeering towards the kerb. I learned to just deal with this and playfully slide the car about but it's not ideal, I would like to be able to drive properly in the wet with proper tires.

I have ran Barum Bravuris before and they seem about on par with these, if a little better in the wet. I will be replacing these with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's this week and keeping these tires for track days, dry track days. Plenty of tread left on them.

This is a pretty good tire, and would recommend it to all the people who drive normal/sportive. Very safe tire in wet. I now run 8000 km with it on my (starlet glanza V) and the profile is now 3.5mm at the front and 5.6mm at the back. And now put the front to the back. And now considering to buy 2 new Bridgestone potenza re002 because the side wall of the vredestein is not stiff enough when you are doing quick cornering. Long corner grip is superb.

Very good tires. Original tires when imported had good grip in dry but incredibly hard compound making them poor in the wet. The Uniroyals were a major increase in performance.

- Huge amounts of grip be it wet or dry, very little aquaplaning even on relatively deep standing water.
- very progressive give at top end,and grip recovered quickly when you dropped some speed.
- very informative about road condition, surface quality and bumps.
had incredibly even wearing compared to other tires i've used, especially for the length of time they lasted.
- VERY deep treads. can handle the occasional need to travel off track with ease

couple of downers;
- slight delay in steering feel at speed, but partly down to the tall, wide profile compared to the wheel (6.5J)
- can get a little noisy at speed because they pick up imperfections so well.

currently ordering my 3rd set and planning on fitting to the rest of the family vehicles with them when needed

Only had these on for around a week and already driven them in torrential downpours and extreme sun and they've performed extremely well in both!

These tires in the dry, have not given up on me yet. I'm almost scared to see how far I can push them just because I don't think I will stay in my seat. G-Force isnt even the term with these.... These... Weapons!

Good strong side walls, so not the comfiest of rides but if you want comfort why are you looking at a review of this tire?
Suprisingly not as noisy as I thought they'd be and felt very stable at high speeds!

I would definately buy again without hesitation!
