Given 54% while driving a Honda CRV (235/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 18,000 easy going miles
So I purchased my Honda CRV a year ago with a 6 month old pair of these on the front, straight away I noticed that they were not the size of the original tyres (225/65/17) but was assured that they were ok and the car passed its MOT without a single advisory. However being not of correct size I found that putting in the stated PSI made them appear flat and they handled terribly especially, surprisingly at slow speed as the sidewalks were very soft, the wet grip was ok as for 'tyre noise' I live in rural Lincolnshire where the roads are awful there is 1 particular stretch of road I have driven down in 5 different cars with different tyre makes and they have all howled so it's irrelevant unless your driving on super smooth perfect road surfaces! I have finally had enough of them as the shoulders are chewed up even though my tracking is within limits and they have covered 18000 steady miles. I suppose the correct size may have faired better but they are NOT a tyre I would recommend or ever buy again.

Tires were really good, lasting long, feels like high performance. When I bought my second hand car when 21 months before, this tyres were on the front wheels, but was not brand new, drives mostly through curvy roads as well as motorways, still going strong. Overall, I have to say, these tyres feels good in every ways. Satisfied.

Had 4 fitted free to a Skoda Octavia 2015 1.6 tdi diesel I purchased from a Mercedes Dealer and must say very impressed. Smooth Comfortable, Great Feedback, Great in all weathers, quiet also and I normally fit Pirelli p7 Cinturato which I also love, these tyres seem rather impressive for a tyre i've never heard of and I am out of the trade working for main dealers. tyre size is 225 40 r18

Very good drive. Very silent tyre with little to no noise. Handles pretty well in all circumstances, especially on dry surfaces. The tyre also performs well in wet conditions, did not get any aquaplaning since I have it

The tires feel comfortable, but that is where it ends. If you drive like and old lady and don't mind 'Made in China' stamped on your tires, then go ahead and buy them, but beware, you might get a puncture in these soft Tyre within the first st month of driving, that is what happened to me. I already replaced them with premuim tyres soon after, my life is more important than cheap tires.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport (275/40 R20) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
The Tyre feels good and grips good all round, but almost impossible to balance. Already had the balancing done at 3 diffrent shops, but still feeling shake in steering from above 115 km/h. It is almost still new but will be replacing them soon.

Given 94% while driving a Mercedes Benz W221 S350 Long (275/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 17,000 average miles
I reviewed these tires when I first had them at 1000 miles and now the car has done 17000 miles on these tires I can only state they are good very good after 17000 miles the tires still have 5+ mill in them they started off at 7.2mm tread depth and now the 4 tires are 5.52mm 5.61mm 5.36mm 5.48mm that's under 2mm used in 17000 miles The Davanti DX640s are good value and long lasting to say the least. My setup is 245 45 19 front and 275 45 19 rear the usual staggered set for a S Class weighing in at 2,270KG kerb weight empty mine is heavier as it has the fridge and all other extras.

Had 4 fitted to Leon 1.4 TFSI FR. Initially OK for Grip and handling but when they got down to 6mm the grip dropped of a cliff. Replaced all 4 tyres with 5mm still on them. Changed for Falken FK510's which are 10 x better for similar price

Given 100% while driving a Vauxhall 2.0 CDi (225/50 R17) on mostly country roads for 26,000 easy going miles
Ok, my car is a Vauxhall Astra 2 litre turbo diesel automatic estate. A workhorse that I happen to really really like. Anyhow, I fitted a pair of Davanti DX640’s on the back when the original Continentals needed changing. They were nearly half the price of the Continentals. I did lots of online research to seek out reviews first. And took the plunge. So, I now have 26,000 miles on them, they are still going strong with plenty of tread left yet. I cannot fault them, at all. Grip is great, they are quiet, handles fine and I have not had any issue with them. So today, I have just put a new pair of DX640’s on the front! Look, I know my car is not a performance car or whatever but if you want decent tyres for a fair price get them.

Overall a good tyre when in use. Only fault is the tyre wear. After 25k the tyres are down to the minimum tread. That's 14 months for me. I've had tyres that will do double this.

Given 30% while driving a Nissan Qashqai 2018 (225/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 8,000 easy going miles
After 14 months the tread came off (literally) in 3 out of 4 tyres. The mechanic said he had never seen anything like it. Had the dashboard warning not come on and we took notice of it the effects could have been lethal. It may just have been a bad batch but I know which make of tyre I will NOT be buying in future, I will stick to well known brands. All 3 failing tyres were 2 front and one rear) had the tread lifting on the inside of the tyre so that without taking the tyre off or looking underneath there would be no way to tell.

Davanti tyres are the best on the market for price, long life and value for money. After sales is very good as well. My wife and I have had three sets between us they last just as long as any other make of tyre, at half the cost. Brilliant great value tyres.
