Given 57% while driving a Skoda Octavia vRS (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Appalling in the rain or on wet roads. Slides out on roundabouts with ease. Traction is poor and causes the Traction Control to operate. Won't buy again.

Wrapping plastic bag around the rim would be safer than driving on those tire. I'm sorry I bought them, no grip in wet, what's so ever

great value for money. a lot of mixed views about them which I read before I bought them but I thought i'd risk it and buy 2 for my front. I wasn't disappointed at all and will be buying 2 more for my back they grip well and really look the part and for the same price as budget tires you cant go wrong

Given 76% while driving a Subaru Impreza WRX STI (225/40 R18) on track for 800 spirited miles
Bought on a budget for fast road and track use, couldn't be any better for everyday road use they last for miles (22000) only issue so far the side walls could do with strengthening as they don't like heavy cornering on track.
Thumbs up for plenty of grip and squeal
wet use still just as good if driving normally, pushed they tend to lack grip.
Great tyres and on par with the likes of toyo for grip and long lasting.

Given 23% while driving a Mercedes Benz C32 AMG (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Recently bought a Mercedes C32 AMG, and the garage had foolishly put these tyres on the front for he car to pass its MOT.
These tyres are lethal in the wet. One time I almost understeered off a roundabout. Another time in a curved slightly wet tunnel the car completely understeered. Fortunately the front wheel hit the curb pulling the tyre off the and destroying the wheel. This saved the side of the car from being wiped out! I was doing a normal speed, nothing dangerous or sporty.

These tyres are simply dangerous, and should not be legal. I am going to change them immediately to Goodyears.

Given 81% while driving a Audi (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 18,000 spirited miles
I am struggling to understand some of the reviews on here, expecting the worst from these tyres, 235/45/17 i was surprised in the lasting and grip of the tyres. They were fitted on an audi a4 sport hdi 130, and to say they were driven hard on country roads is an understatment.
I have yet to expierance any loss of grip what so ever, even when racing around bends well in excess of speed limits. I havnt had the oppertunty to test on ice/snow as yet, but apart from maybe being a bit noisey, good all round cheap tyre, €275 for pirelli or €75 for these.... goodbye pirelli!!! well at least until i test on the ice in a few weeks...
Tyres on 5 months and 18000 miles down, no indication of wear as yet...

Given 36% while driving a Fiat Abarth Grande Punto (215/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Had these tyres on my car now for a while after purchasing some after market alloys. If i had known the brand prior, would have opted for a superior tyre.
The tyre lack of tyre wear has to be the only possitive anyone can take from this review; everything else is just an utter con. More of a con than a guy selling gold watches from a fold up table or within a beige coloured cammel coat! The Hard compound reflects in the road noise, but could be worse.
At present im am running with T1R Proxes at the front, however dont be fooled into thinking that these tyres are 'Good enough' for the rear; they are equally as terrible. Wet grip is almost non existant, unless your passenger is Miss Daisy. Dry grip is ok, but only ok.
Would i buy again? Not on your life. Pay day coming up and changing!
My front wheel drive car has achieved overstear, but this i believe due to the extreme mix of compounds. Do not buy this tyre if you live in a country that leaves water on the road surface or you may regret it.
