You want to trust your life with these tyres read the reviws of an independent magazine. Pray you dont have to hit the brakes in the wet. Or the guy behind you has them on his car
While Maxxis showed promise, it’s not happy on wet roads. Chinese maker Wanli is way behind its rivals – you hope the car behind you on a busy, wet motorway is not on the S-1088.
The Goodyear’s problems were nothing compared to the Wanli, though, which yet again brought up the rear, a long way off the standard set by the rest. It took more than five metres longer to stop – a car’s length. That means when a vehicle with the Conti rubber has come to a halt, one wearing the Wanlis will still be doing 20mph-plus.
A long way back was the Wanli. This was not a pleasant drive, with the sheer dearth of grip triggering the anti-lock braking very early and pushing the car wide as soon as the throttle was touched. Wanli was four seconds slower than the next best make, and a worrying seven seconds behind the top tyre on the handling circuit.
