Given 19% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
we purchased the car from Car shop Swindon, who replaced the front tyres before we purchased.
I always fit premium tyres to my car over the years (only thing between you and the road) but recently the tyre hit the kerb and split the side wall.
on inspection we found like many others the cracking in the tyre surface.
the noise has been horrendous and ride very poor I would never buy again and indeed we are replacing the other tyre.

if you love your family and wish to keep them safe replace the tyres.

Given 17% while driving a Ford Mondeo TDCI (225/40 R18 V) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Was told these were great tyres from national tyre centers. So for £150 I had a pair fitted. Didnt reallythink much about them. Seemed ok for the first 6 months with good grip and wear. Last year it all changed with what we thought was 2 wheel bearings going. On checking nothing was wrong with the bearings. Still kept going with the tyres. The grip then started to go from these tyres. In the dry the compounds too hard with no flex in the tyre wall at all. In the wet you just aquaplane in the smallest puddle and cornering was an issue. One tyre started to not hold air and on inspection it yad cracks all over the block pattern on the grip on the tyre. They were way over the range of noise of 72db. More over 90db with a noise like a plane taking off. They juddered the front when hard braking and just made the ride awful. Today i swapped these tyres for soms goodrides and on removal of the wheels half the grip was missing off the inside edges of the tyre. Cracking all over the tyre base. Andthe tyre fitter noticed both tyres were completley out of shape. 5mm of tread left from 20k motoring. Would never buy these death traps again. Lesson learnt.

Given 21% while driving a Mitsubishi Colt version R (225/40 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Bought a set of alloys with these on brand new. Coming off and being replaced with decent tyres. Road noise terrible, can't hold a conversation properly and sounds like a bearing gone. Massive under steer in wet conditions just goes in a straight line. Seriously don't bother with these tyres. Are ok in normal straight line driving conditions! Not been on long enough to see what the wear is like. Definitely wouldn't have them again. Had michelins on before and the car drove beautifully, these affect the handling and its like driving a different car. Roll on payday!!

Ford (225/40 R17 W) on for 500 average miles
Utter utter garbage... if there was a minus rating for Noise these excuses for tyres would be off the scale. Zero confidence in damp or wet, the road noise is apalling. Who sanctions these tyres as fit for use?? They were on when I got the car, lasted two weeks, they can now be used for kids adventure park swings...

Fiat (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 100 easy going miles
I have had these tyres for 2 days, they came with the car. I would be changing them now but there are other jobs i need to do on the car first ie cambelt and a full service. 2 months max and these tyres are off my car. They are so noisy it's unbelievable tyres can be this bad. The noise is like all the wheel bearings have gone and you have a loud exhaust. For now i have to drive around like a young teanager with my music on full blast to help dround out the noise from the tyres.
Do not buy these tyres save a bit more and buy a well known branded tyre. You really do get what you pay for.

Given 36% while driving a Honda Civic Type R (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 100 average miles
Just bought a 2nd hand Civic Type R. Before buying I check for tread depth. Excellent. It's not until about 100 miles later I thought this doesnt handle as I expect, especially in the cold and wet. It could be the type of car but I just checked the tyre brand and then came here. Everything is explained. This car is supposed to handle like a go-kart, but in the wet it is just washing out at the front end - without any power applied. The roads are slippery, leafy, wet and cold at the moment, bring better dry roads are I'll review summer performance. Until then I think I shall walk.
