I've currently got a pair of these fitted on the front of my Zafira VXR and I can honestly say i wont be buying another set, the wise walls are very weak and gives a lot of body roll thinking you've got something wrong with your suspension when in fact its the tyres that causing the issue. The wear on them as well are very poor and I've only had them on for a couple of months and already showing a lot of wear, and the road noise is fairly loud as well and makes you think your wheel bearings need replacing. So if you want cheap tyres then I strongly suggest you leave these well alone.

Happy with this purchase. Tires gives a sporty look as well
bought four of these tyres for a ridiculously low price of £206.00 delivered to my fitter in Dundee. I was a bit sceptical to say the least when purchasing them. The reviews seemed to be pretty good, once I was able to see through the reviews submitted by those with a vested interest. With what I was able to gather, they were a bit noisy on the road, but nothing too bad. So, I decided to go for them half expecting to be replacing them with either Goodyears or Pirelli's. I have an audi a5 3.0 tdi Quattro, so I need my tyres to do their bit and keep me on the grey ground and avoid the green ground at all cost. I've had them on for around 8 months. They went on in February 2019 and we've covered over 10,000 miles so far. So far the tyres have been first rate in both the wet and the dry with absolutely no complaints under braking either. I've had much worse tyres on the Quattro, believe me. For the price they are (mine were around £52.00 each delivered), I genuinely cannot fault these. I did some research on the company before I bought them and they seem to be aiming at the high intermediates such as Hankook and Vredsteins, just my opinion based on the company info. Anyway, excellent tyres. I'm missing out the "for the price" bit because I would measure them against many much better known and trusted makes and not only will I buy them again, I would simply let you all know that these are first rate tyres and I am totally delighted. Oh, the wear rate is comparable if not better than the more highly rated tyres and manufacturers. So, there you go. An honest review of a very good quality product that does what it sets out to do extremely well.
It's already the 2nd set I am driving on those tires on my Mercedes A. They last very long, about 60K km. It's longer than any Michelin or Conti I was driving.
Bought my BMW with these tires on it, traction in dry conditions is only OK... but they seem to hydroplane rather easily in only moderate rain. Also quite loud with poor tread life. Fronts were basically new when I got the car but sidewall started to bulge after about 3 weeks. Rears wore out quickly and seemed particularly vulnerable to punctures with a very weak sidewall. Don't buy these unless you want to replace them a lot.
