Given 97% while driving a Subaru Liberty RX 2003 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 20 average miles
I have had these tyres on my Subaru Liberty now for 20,000 klms.
I must admit that I was sceptical about them because I had never heard of them until my tyre dealer gave me the choices available for the size tyres for the car.There are not a lot of brands who do 205 50 16.
They were by far the least expensive at $105 each.The other brands start at $130.I have to say I can't fault them and would buy again without hesitation.

Given 10% while driving a Audi TT (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 500 easy going miles
I have recently bought a Audi TT 3.2 L car from a dealer. The car came with 4 new tyres and to be nest these tyres are terrible. Large chunks of the rubber have cut and split away from the tyres - large splits in the rubber have occurred and the rubber quality looks soft and not tough as you would expect on a tyre. I have driven the car for around 2 weeks and already I think that the tyres in my view need changing - I just cannot trust driving these tyres asI can see so many visible fault in the side wall s of all 4 tyres. In my opinion these tyres are dangerous and a pointless purchase.

3 months or 7000 miles proved a total waste of money it's back to part worms for me now
Very very disappointed after reading good reviews of these tyres

Given 80% while driving a SEAT Altea (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
I've got a set of Hifly 805's (225/45x17W XL) on my 2.0 TDI(remapped to 175BHP)and i'm well satisfied with the performance of these tyres.
I like to get a move on when it's safe to do so and i haven't had any cause to regret fitting them.
The're quieter than Kuhmo Ecsta KU39's that i had on previousy and the turn in seems much more precise with a slighty improved ride.
They handle the 395NM of torque ok in the higher gears, any tyre would have the ESP light flashing away in 2nd in the dry with a full dose of loud pedal!
Wet grip is just about as good as the Khumos too.

Ok,i suppose they won't stand up to the premium rubber if you're on a track but for any type of road use the're 95% as good in most catagories. (Don't know about the wear rate yet) but for £208 a set fully fitted as opposed to at least twice the amount for premium tyres they represent very good value for money.
I see a lot of bad reports about Chinese tyres and i suppose there are some that aren't up to much but these don't fall into that catagory.

To summarize, forget about brand snobbery and what name's on the sidewall, i've had both premium and budget tyres in my 40+ years of driving and i can recommend these if you're wanting to save a few quid. You won't regret it.

Given 44% while driving a MG ZR (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 6,000 easy going miles
A standard quality budget tyre. But other budget tyres I have used in the past have much better wear and I got only 6000 miles driving before they were on the legal limit and needed changing. I would only buy these tyres if you intend to sell the car in the short term or you are a very low milage driver

Given 97% while driving a Nissan Note 1.5 dci (185/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 600 spirited miles
To be honest I didn't really check these out before buying them but what a great choice!
Grip in the dry is very good but in the wet they are fantastic. Yes they will lose traction eventually but you have to go quite mental to do so.

I previously had continental tyres on the car & they honestly didn't grip as well as these, especially in the wet.

They also have very good integrated rim protection.

I have a set of Infinity tyres on my other car (BMW 5 series) which are quite bad in the wet so I'll be replacing them with these!

Given 100% while driving a Subaru Liberty RX (205/50 R16 W) on mostly country roads for 600 average miles
I had these tyres put on my 03 Subaru liberty RX before driving 600klms on country & Freeway roads.I was a bit sceptical about them being budget tyres costing only $105 each.The first thing I noticed is how quiet they were after having a set of Westlake SA05 for 60,000 klms on the car.I can't comment about grip in the wet or snow but they give me good feedback at the wheel when cornering and braking.I would most probably buy them again.

Very noisy! I will never by Chinese made tires again. What a waste of money and recourses, I will have to dump near new tires and replace them.

Given 47% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLS 320 (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 3,000 easy going miles
On a 2008 CLS 320 CDI. Very pleased at the start but after less than 3000 miles the tyres became increasingly noisy. Had the wheel bearings checked, but these are OK. Now very alarmed to report all 4 tyres showing rubber delamination along major segments of the tread. This I'd on the inside edge so not visible at all unless you clime under the car or remove the wheels. Maybe a bad batch or maybe just unsuitable for this model but I have replace by Continental MO Sport Contact. Just not worth the risk I'm afraid.
