This tires makes fun car no more fun anymore. Awful wet grip, awful dry grip, zero feedback from the road, too loud. Even at dry, with just a %70 brake pressure you can get the fronts locking up. For the money they do allow me to drive my car though, i paid around 280 usd for four tires. Though i really beg anyone that thinking about this tire, if you're only getting it for short A to B trips then sure its worth the price. If not, just get something thats better, which won't be hard to find, almost any tire is probably better than this. I switched from the OEM Contisportcontact5 tires (they were 6 years old at the time, dry rotted) to the Joyroads, and honestly it never felt like an upgrade, even the 6 year old worn conti's were almost on par with these tires. But you get what you pay for, they definitely do held up, i cant tell any signs of worn.

What Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 ZC33S drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Dry grip is above my expectation with the correct setup of suspension and camber + toe setting, an ease of corner abilities by holding the car in each corner after corner. Sidewall is tough enough to support the weight transfer of the car during absolutely spirit driving.
Wet performance is above average, they tend to grip well and doesn't prone to any aqua planning hazard, at least from my personal usage during heavy rain with puddles of liquid on road.
Comparing against previous tire, Yokohama Apex, Pilot Sport 5 and MC7, these tire easily gain better performance than the rest any time, giving its price to performance.
Only cons is that, road noise significantly loud after 50% tread life, well, its an UHP anyway.
Not sure what changed between S and non S version of this tire, but it lost a bit of ability in the snow and gained handling capabilities in the snow and ice.
Braking is still strong, but bellow Michelin Alpine5.
A car wearing these can traverse some serious snow inclines.
Due to the cars relatively uncommon tire sizing, 195/45R17, these are both OEM and best aftermarket fits for the car.
Surprisingly long lasting on a lightweight car, some more pronounced aquaplaning, but all in all a very good sporty road tire.
I drive mixed town and motorways, but I'm often at the limit of the tires in town driving.
Noise levels have remained the same from new.
Strengths: Direct steering, brake distance, both hot and cold, handling, responsiveness to inputs. For the tire type, decent level of noise and vibration. Long lasting ~ 25 000km.
Weaknesses: Can be easily overwhelmed on acceleration, on wet roads, some snap loss of grip on bad pavement, tendency to track tarmac irregularities. Sidewall easily damaged on potholes and curbs.
On my second set now.
A little bit greasy on the wet but it's ok since the tire will communicate this through the steering wheel. The noise it generate is of different pitch than OEM, more of a rumble instead of a roar. It will start making considerable noise at 30km/h but strangely doesn't get any noisier.
Continental in this case really disappointed me with these tires on this car.
I used them mostly on town road, and sometimes on some mountain passes.
The handling was really good in dry conditions and they were a lot comfortable.
In wet conditions the tires didn't handle very well, in specific on roundabouts and some turns, they tend to understeer on wet conditions.
I also had a turn on track (Modena Circuit) and the tires are ready to dump.
Now I have Toyos Tr1 and they are much better (on 16 rims)
Totally a NOT buy.
Specially for the non-economic price.
