These tyre's are the noisiest set I've ever had. I have two on the rear and they make a loud "whirring noise". I am cutting my losses and replacing them after 10 months use. AVOID.

excellent tyres. 2009 Audi A4 20T saloon. plenty of grip. due to replace tyres now, and will be putting these back on! Love them. great in snow, wet (live in scotland and plenty of rain), and good fun in the dry.

I ended up with a set of these that were fitted to wheels I bought on ebay.

The set I have an M+S symbol on the outside tyre wall indicating they are all weather or winter tyres, not Summer tyres as indicated in the description on this site, or others.

They seem fine to me and no noisier or less grip than any other all weather tyre I've used. They do grip less than summer tyres, which is to be expected.

These tyres are extremely noisy under normal driving conditions, a problem I have never encountered with other tyres before. The noise is similar to worn bearings and a distraction to driving. When normal braking they are even more noisy as you come to a stop. When I asked the Garage to check he took a look at the tyres and said he had many customers with this problem after he had fitted a batch of these tyres. I would definitely not buy these again.

Worst tyre ever !! Road noise horendus do not buy end of.

Appalling bad tyre. Worst I've ever come across. Swapped them for Michelin's and my car has been transformed. Don't buy the Runway's - in my view they are dangerous

Well..I thought not bad at first, reasonable grip but then after about 30mins I realised just what a racket they make, my smooth Beamer was now as bad with the road noise as sitting in my grans KIA!! Would not buy again, you know what they say "buy it cheap...buy it twice"

My 97 Subaru Legacy GT-B estate came with these (215 45 17).
They were manufactured in 2009 and hadn't led a very hard life despite which the tyre between the tread blocks was covered in small splits of about 6-8mm.
This was on all four tyres.
Having never driven a GT-B before this one I wasn't certain how it should behave but wasn't hugely impressed until I borrowed one on Avon ZZ3s.
I couldn't get the Runaways off quick enough.

just looked at reports and very shocked at what i have seen.talking about traction control coming on all the time,rubbish,slow down or turn off traction control as i do and drive the car,not let the car drive you,and maybe get driving lesson on a track and keep that sort of driving for a race track

Ive had these on my car for about 8k now and for a cheap tyre they perform very well and wear is ok. yes they are a budget tyre and obviously will be out performed buy some premium brands but for the price they are very good indeed and take soem provacation before letting go.
reading through some of the comments it is laughable do people really expect to a tyre to grip when driven to the limit in winter with the icey condition and low ground/tyre temps i think some of the people commenting need to adjust their driving style before they hurt themselves or someone else.
yes i would buy these tyres againg and will be having a new set fitted shortly.

I run 2 cars both Peugeot 406's (1 an estate the other a saloon)not performance cars by any means but good work horses. The cars spend most of their time in Spain and the rest driving to and around the UK. I have just had 45000 miles out of the front tyres on the saloon (the rear ones are hardly worn!) and am up to 43000 miles on the estate and the fronts are good for another 5 or 6000. I have never had any problems with grip in any conditions and they do not go out of shape in the heat and sun in Spain unlike Hankook or Dunlop that I have used before. Yes the ride is firmer and the noise level a little higher but over all I cannot fault them and as regards value for money (I paid £41 fitted for each tyre) I can put up with the small negatives associated with these tyres.

Please do not buy Runway tyres even if it were buy one get three free they are very noisey ruff you would think wheel bearing were shot under steer and over steer at the same bend like driving on ice BE WARNED take care out there please
