Hifly HF805 Reviews - Page 4

I have a citroen Jumpy working van. Got this car brand new in 2016 with factory tyres: Michelin Agilis 51, wich i dont find in this website's database. Original size was 215/60-16" with weigt load index 103/105. The tyres was crap in every way. Wheelspin on wet road i roundabauts, very loud inside the cabin, torque steer everywhere, and the ride....man the car was falling apart almost. For instance it was not possible to drink coffe without get some on your shirt. I belive it is to blame the very high load index, wich we are strigthly applyed to use by law here in Norway on vans.

Anyway, i chose to get some 18" inch alloys on this car and not care about the load index. A suitable dim i found to be 235/45-18". Almost the same diametre as the old 16" tyres. With little money to spare, i chose the cheapest tyre i could find in Norway in this size, Hifly 805. 60pounds a piece.

I have now driven the car 600 miles with this setup. (235/45-18 W 98XL) And I am positively surprised! As a cheap tyre, i was expecting a lot worse. The car is a lot more stable under acceleration, with less torquesteer. That alone could be the size of the tyre. But dry grip are improved by maybe 200%! 130 kph trough some bad norwegian B roads....in a van :p no problem at all. The noise is louder in a different way than the 16". Less rumbling but more sound in speeds over 70 kph. Again, im sure it is to blame wider tyres, and a poorly sound insulated 3 seater van.With that said, the sound never gets annoying. The only downside is that the tyres can be seeking left an right while you drive. More than axeptable imo. But than again, we have asfalt with deep ruts here in norway. Never smooth, plane road surfaces. And another thong is that the front tyres can feel a little bad on feedback. Overall grip is good, but you never know trough the steering wheel really. You just have to push the limits and find out.

Rubber compound are relatively soft, wich gives the good grip. Sidewalls are stiff so in heavy cornering, the car feels stable. I have not got a chance to test it on wet or durability yet. Overall this is a lot tyre for the money. Not a top tyre in anyway, but ok. And way better than any crap van tyres. Next time with a little more money, i will get goodyear ass 2, or hankook s1 evo2. But for now the Hifly 805 are ok! If you have a high performance car or you have high comfort standards on yoyr tyres, dont by Hifly. But it will work for plenty of people!

Worst tyres I have ever had, they were fitted by Vauxhall to my meriva and lasted less than a year. I am not an aggressive driver and generally pop into town and back in my car, the town is 3 miles away. Please don't waste your money on these tyres it has cost me 200quid for less than a years light motoring . Never again!

For one year use tire! , +low price ,-Noise ,-hi fuel consuption 27000km run

Have 205 55 R16 fitted to my Integra.
I avoid hard braking but love cornering at speed. I inflate my tyres to 38PSI front and 36PSI rear.
I've managed to get 40,000 miles or 65,000km from my set of Hifly HF805s. I believe they'll make it to 80,000km.

So far, I can see a lot of negative comments about these tyres... maybe because they're Chinese and it's ok to vent racist comments about anything Chinese. Maybe it's the car... like the guy whose Yaris is spinning it's front wheels.

The HF805 is a summer tyre. There's no ice in summer.

On dry and wet, braking and cornering are absolutely excellent. The performance is actually amazing. Durability has been great.

I'm surprised at the number of ignorant people who think tyres are made with secret recipes that only some manufacturers know.

If I use a slick tyre in the wet, it doesn't matter whether it's a Michelin or a Pirelli. If it's a soft compound it's going to give better grip but wear faster than a hard compound. Wider tyres give better lateral grip. Thinner side walls give better handling but are harsher.

The HF 805's pattern, compound are more than appropriate for the list of ordinary cars I've seen in this thread.

4 tyres fitted April 2015, rears fine but fronts will need replacing quite soon, less than 8,ooo miles completed, very disappointing even though I understand these are budget tyres. Fitted to Peugeot 207cc GT, normal driving with no wheel spin, fast corners etc. Definitely will not buy again.

I bought a 2006 Toyota Avalon with a new set of these tires put on by the dealer. At about 12,000 miles of use I went in to have the tires rotated and they were gone, HAD to be replaced, down to the wear marks.
I would NOT recommend these tires to anyone and would never buy another set.

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.

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.

My review I did yesterday had the wrong size tyres I bought 4 new tyres on 26/1/15 and 7000 miles later 8/5/15 the front 2 were completely bald no tread right the way across the 2 on the back are just above the legal requirement I had the tracking done when I bought then and the wear on the front is completely even I paid £55 each and have never been more disappointed with a tyre 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

bought Opel insignia 2lt ,,,Demo model, these tyres came new with car,,,, got 20,000 km with tyres,, now have to replace,, only found out Hifly tyres on car when checking for wear on all tyres,, continental tyres on rear,, still another 6000 km left on them,,, going to buy hifly again,,, was happy with way car handled when thought continental tyres all round !!!.. 37000km on car now..

i have 205/40/17 on fiat marea wikeend,this tyers are exelent on any condition dry or wet.
