HEY guys look at the traction rating of the runway tires,A is supposed to be a good tire under the UTQG standards for traction.If the chinese company (GITI)is putting an A traction rating on the sidewall,and lying to the public,how is the public to know?You assume you are getting what you are paying for,a tire that has a class A traction grip.I go to the store,I ask for a good tire,they tell me it has a class A rating.But we know the tires do not.So if you do your job,so nobody gets hurt file a compaint like I did.WWW.NHSTA.GOV,or call Jack Chern at 202-366-0661,I got rite thru,or email ovsc@dot.gov Jack Chern,I am told by MR Chern if he has some more complaints he will order a test on these tires,And will fine the company and maybe recall, if the company is falsifying thier tire ratings.Don't just complain do something about it" Thanks Bruce

I've only recently had these tyres, replacing Avon Z5's which I have had as my last 3 sets. I've found the Avon's only lasting me 10k if I've been lucky. Whilst I can't comment on how long the Enduro's will last, but at a significantly cheaper cost, I'd be quite happy getting 10k out of these, although hope for longer. So first impressions, I was honestly quite worried after I'd reviews on these, but I'm really pleased, they are a lot quieter than I expected, at 90mph noise in the cabin is 82db, which by all accounts is very good and better than the Avon's. Feedback from the tyres is a definitely the weak point, there just isn't any at all, the steering feelings very very light - On the plus side, it's handling the bumpy pot holed roads at speed round the corners without any problems and stopping distances seem to be good.

Overall, I'd be happy to buy these again, they look good, they have a great tread pattern which is very good at clearing out the rain, just have to hope they can hold up for the miles!

These tyres came on my car when I brought it and I can see why these would be so cheap. I checked the tread when i bought the car and it had plenty of tread left but they did not last long. My main problem has been the appalling grip in the wet, my car has 202bhp and 310 lb/ft and it will spin easily in the wet. However my traction control light is always on if i do any kind of enthusiastic driving and i simply cannot get the power down. Even in a straight line in 3rd they will spin up which is annoying. I have had similar powered cars with decent tyres and never had such a lack of grip. I have just brought a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymetric 2's that will be fitted soon and by seeing the reviews and tests on here I can safely say they will be far better.

Thanks for the advice but I think I'll just change my tyres.
Hey presto, as if by magic...noise reduced dramatically and the traction control isn't flashing like a strobe in a night club, amazing!
This is a tyre review section mate,it's not an opportunity to infer your own opinions on other reviews, cars or driving styles, however subtle the accusation maybe.
If your simply justifying driving over 2k a month on the cheapest tyres currently available or you work for a certain tyre manufacturer, I won't judge you, however, in the future, when someone else has had to stop in an emergency on their decent rubber and you plough straight into the back of them, still travelling in excess of 20 mph, then.. well, they may!
Best of luck Sir!

Given 70% while driving a MG ZS (205/50 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 38,000 average miles
I've had these tyres for 18 months and 38,000 miles.

I don't drive like a hooligan but I don't hang around either. The tyres have never given me cause for concern and have done well in a few nasty moments that I've had while driving on them.

They are noisier than some other tyres but if they are unbearably noisy, then I'd suggest that there might be something wrong with your bushes or ball joints. I had increased noise levels when these were worn on my car.

I think that 38,000 miles is excellent for a budget tyre so I'm buying the same again.

For the love of God and all that is holy, by another tyre. When it rains, I swear my car slides down the drive even when it's parked. Oh,and one more thing, the noise, these are the loudest tyres I have ever had the misfortune of running on! Very, very intrusive, especially under braking.
Note to self; next time you buy aftermarket alloys, pay for some decent boots ya tight git!!
