Used them mostly on highway touring application for long road trips. Unfortunately on a rather underpowered car but the tires were awesome with lots of feedback, with surprisingly low rolling resistance and relatively comfortable. I drove it for probably 50k miles actually which is a great longevity for a sporty tire.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mitsubishi Lancer drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I previously used Michelin PS4 tires. The PS4’s performance is indeed better, but the iPro is very affordable. Since my car is a manual, the PS4 never caused front-wheel slip, whereas with the iPro I’ve experienced slight front-wheel slip a few times. That said, the handling is actually really good.
Amazing tire ! Great grip on dry and wet also ! I had YOKOHAMA AD08R before and now try AD09 which is better ! Surpise also with very well brakes with this tire ! Very satisfied !
Within 3 days it rained & these tires had no traction. Wheel spins from the lights, sliding off roundabouts. If you find yourself in a position of needing new tires or buying these ones, stay with needing new tires.
These would be good if it never rained. It does however rain. Dangerous hydroplaning and wheel spin under light acceleration during slight rain. Utter Garbage
China does manufacture high quality tires with wallet friendly budget. It has excellent grip in dry and wet condition. It’s consistent with ample performance and a comfortable ride thru out 50,000 miles of the lifespan I experienced comparing it with Michelin PS5 at more than double cost. Disappointed with PS5 at 20,000 miles only at end life. I would recommend it to everyone who travel a lot & occasionally spirited drives and wants a budget friendly tires.
Had these tires on my Mitsubishi Evo 6 when I bought it nearly new back in 2000. The grip was fantastic but came with a very high wear rating. They lasted for 4500 miles maximum, which conveniently fitted in with the manufacturer service intervals and worn out brake pad replacements. I tried the equivalent Michelin performance tire and it totally changed the grip and handling….for the worse. Makes sense, if you want grip you have to accept a softer tire with a high wear rating.
First things first, this tire is great, much better than the tires I had before. The dry grip is all there, it never feels unpredictable or slippery no matter how much I push it. The wet grip is lightly tested but it hasn't disappointed yet for the limits I pushed thus far. Dry braking is excellent. The feedback and handling is good. Even through electric power steering, the road feel gets translated quite well. No complaints.
Rm300 during 2022 for a piece is quite a bang for the bucks, however just 35000km it shows side wall cracks, maybe long time less gas, or bad shock absorber in the front
I have an Evo 8 MR, I have always had Bridgestone RE003's as I know these tires worked well enough on the car and it was a safe call for me, since changing out tires isn't a cheap exercise. However I was looking to change to PS5's for this car, but these Asym 6's came up on sale for around $600 for all 4, I just couldn't say no. These tires have greatly improved my car especially over the RE003, safe to say I will never be purchasing RE003's again. The dry grip on these is amazing and at cornering speeds where the RE003's would screech, these tires are silent.
The wet grip on these are day and night, although I was in an AWD car I had to tread lightly in the wet as RE's would slip very very easy. I can now almost drive like it's dry in wet conditions.
