Autogrip P308

It’s great product

These came fitted to a Honda Jazz I bought a few months ago. Not bad in the dry, but in cold, wet conditions they are truly dangerous! I would liken them to driving on ball bearings, with little to no grip whatsoever - and all this on a car with hardly a surplus of power! Despite having 6mm of tread on them I have thrown them in the skip - they just aren't worth the risk if you drive any amount in wet conditions.

These tyres were fitted to a car which I purchased. Brand new front set. In the dry, these tyres are just OK, but in the wet they are dangerous. Hardly any grip at all. Dangerous on roundabouts and corners. The car understeers a worrying amount. Aquaplaning on the motorway was terrible. I changed them for some Avons. Like chalk and cheese. Avoid these at all costs if you value your life.

Had I known, I would have stuck to my Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance.
This brand is horrible in the wet, if you are not careful, you will surely find yourself being intimate with a lamp post.
They are only suitable for braking on a wet surface.

Vibrate on the motorway. When I hit 70mph these Autogrip tyres would vibrate until I reduced speed. I know it was the Autogrip tyres as I've recently replaced them with Uniroyal tyres, now there is no vibration with the Uniroyal tyres. I drive a slow Renault Modus so in the wet and dry I experienced no issues with grip. Wouldn't buy Autogrip tyres again because of the vibrations on the motorway. However, for slow city driving these are fine, it's just the vibration at high speed.

Truly dreadful tyres, stay clear of this brand at all costs. Ended up having a crash thanks to these useless tyres in the rain. Not speeding, knew the road well and just turned it as usual, back end instantly came around and spun the car into a 90 degree angle straight into a lamp post, sending the car into a 180. Car was a total loss and needed a new bumper, headlamp, wing, bonnet, crash bar, foglamp, wheel, washer bottle, suspension arm and wiring loom as it chopped through every single wire on the front end. Got written off and paid out, car was repaired and the tyres were thrown straight into the tip. Wasn't the end of the story though, bought another car to replace the old one and changed the wheels for some new ones we got, didn't realise they had autogrip tyres on and as you can guess, two went straight in the bin (rears) and were replaced with Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres on the rear and never had a problem with grip. Front tyres were kept as they had 6mm tread on them and we thought they'd wear out soon enough but almost 10,000 miles later, they still have 4mm left on them so the only good thing I will say is these tyres last ages and refuse to wear. Wouldn't buy any Autogrip tyres ever again, better tyres are out there for less money. If you have them on your car already, make sure you're very careful in wet conditions as they love to make the car aquaplane.

I've given these a fairly low score but, for the money they are not bad. They were fitted to a st155 mondeo estate so a pretty heavy and fairly torquey car, and in the cold wet they were downright alarming- understeer in corners was abrupt and wild, and they would spin up on mild power. Care needed pretty much all the time. But in the dry they were pretty competent and miles better than the random no-names that you'll often find on a used car at the low end of the market You could definitely do worse, and it'd easy to see them as good value. But IMO you should spend a bit more if you possibly can. The difference in price between these and say a Kumho Ecsta, once you take into account fitting, is really very small compared to the difference in performance. I don't think any tyre this cheap is really a good option but, if you have to, then they're worth considering- they will do the job, but they will stop your car from working very well. (and it's absolutely baffling to me that pretty much all used Subaru WRXs seem to have at least one of these on it...)

Dreadful tyre in the wet. I bought the car with these recently fitted and they were so bad in the wet, I chose to remove them and replace with Bridgestones. Yes they were double the price of Autogrip, and there are thousands of miles of wear still available on the Autogrips, However I will not compromise on Tyres or brakes and I consider these tyres dangerous.
I would NEVER fit these to my car

EXCELLENT TYRE BOTH ON WET AND DRY WEATHER, I HAVE MY SECOND SET OF TIRES FITTED ON AND ON THE FIRST SET I HAVE GOT 73251KM , I AM ALREADY OVER 40 000KM ON THE SECOND SET AND IT STILL HAS ENOUGH THREAD, THERE IS NO VIBRATION AS I CONSTANTLY ROTATE MY TIRES EVERY 10 000KM

Those are the worst an dangerous tires ive ever put on my car... Highway driving is ok on a dry day till I hit a curve the car Wobbles have to correct the steering just to hold my line like I'm trying to drift..had the traction control light turning at crusing speed. Had to return them in less than 48 hours after buying them, an spend a bit more for a well know brand... tires seem flat an the firewalls are too soft... These tires a cheap for a reason if u value your life and your family stay well clear of them

This feedback in on Autogrip P308 Plus.
I found them on the car a bought. First impression is that the shoulder of this tyre is very soft: even though the pressure is at the max load (as permitted by BMW) the tyres seems flat and it's not a matter of puncture or else, since I check the pressure every month. For this reason, the response of the steering is slow and the handling is not good. It's a good tyre in terms of grip on dry and sufficient on wet, as long as you drive at a decent speed on highway when wet; with a sport driving and at high speed it loose grip and goes on aquaplaning faster than other tyres. Noise is quite good and wear for now seems OK. There are better tyres for same price or less.

Tyres are fine if you live in a warm dry climate. Soon as roafs are wet, traction is gone. Pulling away, stopping, roundabouts all scary as shit

Don't be tempted to buy these tyres! In my opinion they are dangerous, when I brought my car someone had fitted these on the back of it. Being a 4 x 4 SUV type car it's no rocket ship and I don't drive it like a F1 driver either.

These tyres are being changed this week, I don't trust them even though they still have about 5 mm left on each tyre.

They are very noisy with noise feeding back in to the cabin.

Dry grip isn't so bad but that's where the good ends.

Wet grip is frightening even with 4 x 4 the car slides and the rear end twitches all the time, wet grip is near non existent!

I don't trust these tyres and like I said I'm getting rid before the weather gets worse and winter sets in as if it can't grip in the wet what chance have they got in the ice or snow.

Spend a bit more and get a tyre that will keep you sunny side up.

Bought these for the front tyres nine months ago - ie approx. 7k miles and they are already near the limit. In the wet they feel that they don't have good traction (and I am not a boy racer) as on a hill start they start slipping. In the dry they don't inspire confidence. There are far better cheap Chinese tyres like the Landsail that I have on the back wheels.

So i wrote a review on these in May last year and it wasnt exactly positive then. Shame i didnt just get rid of the tyres at the time as they have ended up cosing me £940.

Picture the scene a calm british summers evening, so invariably it has been raining and after a long journey across they country i am finally within sight of my destination. The final roundabout of this national speed limit road is ahead, a familiar roundabout that has never caused me isuues in the past. So imagine my surprise when all of a sudden the back end has gone, much sideways action is occuring and a lampost is looming large out of the side window.

It was an upsetting time, but one that could have been easily avoided.

Now replaced with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's to match the fronts.

Better? BETTER!
