Chery Tiggo 7 Tires

This is the worst tire I've ever experienced on a wet road on a test car (it was DR Evo 5 which I couldn't chose in the pop up menu). There is literally no grip - I have had more grip on snow covered roads with winter tires than I had on wet roads with these. They are also unpleasingly noisy and generally feel like they're made of plastic instead of rubber. In the dry they are "okay" in a sense that they're at least not dangerous. They squeal, grip is sub-average, but at least they seem like they try. In the wet they completely give up. Understeer everywhere, no traction, no braking. Dangerous tire, would not recommend.

Review:
I’ve had these tires fitted to my 2022 Chery Tiggo 7 for almost four years now, and they’ve been nothing short of excellent for Egyptian road conditions. Over 45,000 km of driving, the tread wear has been barely noticeable. They’ve handled countless long trips between governorates, rough unpaved stretches, and smooth highways at speeds up to 180 km/h without breaking a sweat.

The grip is excellent both on dry and wet surfaces, and durability has really impressed me. The only slight drawback is the firmness — you do feel bumps and potholes more than you would with softer tires — but it’s a trade-off I’m fine with, given their overall performance.

At this point, I’d say they’ve worn by about 30% compared to when they were new, which is outstanding considering the roads and driving style.
