Have the tyres on a VW Cc, have to say that it’s one of the best tires that i’ve owned. They run smooth, noise is next to inexistent, feedback is great.

I fitted a pair of these to my wife's car (2015 Focus 2Ltr), she loves her car but drives it like she stole it! We live in a very rural area with some brilliant drivers roads and she gives many performance cars a run for their money.

These tyres perform extremely well and I have complete confidence in them, mainly because the company is owned by Goodyear. Premium tyres for budget money! They have been so good that I have just ordered a second pair to replace a pair of Pirelli's as the Debica's out perform any other premium tyre that has been on her car.

No need to gamble with these....

I took a gamble with this budget tyre, replacing the 4 year old Pirelli P7 Runflat on my X1, since it is considered a budget tire (1/2 the price of contis). I was convinced by the 2019 DOT and Made in Germany badge. Have driven them almost 3000km to date mostly motorway driving with an average speed of 100-120 km/h. The car is transformed 100%: very very very comfortable tire, lacks the feedback of the pirelli’s but I would consider them ok, very good grip in dry, ok in wet (no problems under heavy braking from 120 to 50 in heavy rain).

No cons yet IMHO. Unbeatable for the price.

Given 85% while driving a Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo (215/50 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
Just today switched to summer tyres and installed on my Astra brand new Debica Presto UHP2 set. I had about 100 km on country roads, mostly on dry. The tyres are extremely quiet. Compared with all other premium brands on all my cars, excluding Michelin I've driven any of premium European brands. The filling is like I've cĥanged the whole suspension of the car. I switched from Continental TS 850 P, which is winter tyre with very soft rubber and it is like just changed the car! Astra J as many of mass cars of C segment is not famous with its comfort and sound insulation. Despite that I invested more than 3000 Euro in sound system, including above 50 kg of vibro and noise suppression, the car became absolutely quiet. I cannot hear any noise from the tyres up to 80km/h.
The car is taking all the road small bumps and cracks (which we have a lot of on BG country roads) in totally new comfortable way. I use to reduced tyre pressure below 2.3 bars, because the suspension became quite annoying. And today asked in tyre service where they changed the tyres - what pressure they established? They told me 2.5 bar, whic I intended to reduce as usually to 2.3. Then after road test I realised that pressure reduction was not needed.
For the price of 290Euro including installation, this tyres outperforms much expensive premium brands in quietness and comfort!
Later after I collect some experience in different road conditions I will submit more detailed review about the tyre performance.
For now I'm amazed by their comfort and quietness.

A good, very grippy and supposedly long lasting tire for the money, which you will enjoy for a long time on good roads. If you daily drive a lot on worn asphalt or want a low tire profile, you'll also want to look for a softer compound.

What we are looking at here is a German-manufactured, rebranded Goodyear tire. Do not mistake it for an eastern European knock-off. Debica is a subsidiary and direct manufacturer of Goodyears UHP tires. There's a high chance Debica UHP2 uses an early Eagle F1 prototype template, with a slightly cheaper and harder compound for increased mileage and decreased characteristics.

Handling
In normal highway driving the tire matches more established brands and feels just as responsive as a Eagle F1 assy3 or Nokian Black(zLine). You will trust it at autobahn speeds no problem. Tons of grip for spirited driving, but it would benefit from a more progressive characteristic right on the limit, especially in the wet. That means when the front/back goes, it goes fast and also the recovery from a slide is pretty harsh. If you don't partake in this type of activity, you will have all grip and stability you will ever need.

Noise
Quite sensitive to tire pressure. Handling is superb at 3.3bar, and road noise is low, but chassis vibrations, a low rumble that goes straight to your spine on lower profile tire (40) are very loud, most noticeable in speeds of 50-100kph. Vibrations settle down under 3bar, but tire starts to pull sloppily but still controllably on banks and grooves. This is also tire size dependent, but whichever compromise you settle for, you will enjoy the sheet out of this tire on good roads, but hate it on worn, groovy asphalt.

Excellent mid economy tyres that surprisingly outperform some of other premium tyres I’ve used before. Extremely quiet and very comfortable. Excellent wet grip and car felt planted at 70 mph in heavy rain.

SuperB tyres and superB price. I would never go back to the overpriced premium brands.

A very good tire. I drove under all conditions and never gave me emotions. Excellent grip in wet and dry, silent, good aquaplaning (a score of 7-8). Top-quality price!

I've been using this tires for the whole summer season for now and I must say that I've been very impressed, I thought that as cheap tires the quality will be poor but my friend convinced me and I have to say that it was the best choice I've done. Approx 250€ for 4 tires in 235/45 17 install included is incredible and the quality is very good I was wondering if I could get the rainsport 3from uniroyal and I read a lot of feedback that they were lasting 15000km or exploding as they were fragile..

I've been running on Uhp 2 for over 10000km, no issue so far they are still in good condition and I'm not driving calm

Very good tire for the price, I can't make it lose grip on a clean road(I mean without dust or mud), is not sleeping doesn't mater how hard I hit the gas pedal. Braking is very short in wet and dry. No road noice, confortable, reponsive but not best, as quality it is comparable to Dunlop and Good Year(they are produced in same factory acording to Debica site).

For an economic tyre, the performance is superb.
No problems in the dry. Very impressive on wet road,
Absolutely comfortable and not noisy.
The tyres are new, I made only 2000 km, so I can't know if they last well or not.
But I had Debica tyres for winter, and I made over 50.000 km without problems. so...
