  • Centara tires is a fast-emerging Chinese tire brand, known for its extensive lineup of tires for SUVs, cars, crossovers, minivans, and light trucks. As a sub-brand of Shandong Zhongyi Rubber Co. Ltd., it is known for its affordable tires that balance durability, quality, and performance. Centara produces different types of tires, including all-terrain, all-season, UHP, mud-terrain, performance, and highway.

    Designed for use on passenger vehicles, the Centara Vanti Touring is a good all-season touring tire featuring thick sidewall guards that prevent damage and ensure a longer tread life. Thanks to the symmetrical tread pattern, the Vanti Touring keeps uneven wear at bay while reducing noise and vibrations on the road. Its wide grooves eliminate water from the tread to mitigate the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. However, the manufacturer does not offer a mileage warranty on this tire.

    So, is it worth going for? Let's try to answer in this Centara Vanti Touring tire review.

    I recently put these tyres back on my car, as my other set of tyres are below minimum tread now. They're just as bad as I remember. In the dry, these tyres are barely acceptable, with occasional wheelspin under hard acceleration at high RPMs in first gear, or when pulling out swiftly into traffic. It's a 108kW Mazda3, that shouldn't be a big ask. Cornering wise, they're okay, but you get what you pay for. Don't drive like a hero, or expect some loss of traction. They'll survive at recommended corner speed signs, or maybe a few above. In the wet, oh boy. I'd describe them as unfit for purpose. First gear is practically unusable unless you essentially don't use any throttle, and second will start spinning the wheels at middling RPM if you put your foot down or have a bit of a run up. In the corners, forget it. Go well below any recommended corner speed signs or risk tempting fate and/or a guardrail. Sidewalls are soft, as you'd expect for tyres of this price and caliber. They don't inspire confidence, and feel quite floaty and imprecise. They will tell you when you're on the limit by squealing loudly around a corner, which will happen more often than you'd expect. In a straight line, they'll just lose it unless you're going perfectly straight on a perfectly smooth, perfectly dry road, in which case they'll squeal. They were slightly quieter than scalloped tyres previously on the car due to a bad alignment. This is not a compliment. You don't realise how loud they are until you get a decent set of tyres. Wear wise, they're not bad over the 10-12,000 kms I've done. At a complete guess I'd say I could put 40-60,000 kms on them depending on driving style and conditions. I wouldn't keep them on for that long personally. My set also slowly loses air across all 4. It's not quick, but I'd recommend checking pressures every fill-up or two, just in case. Not sure if they haven't been seated properly, my wheels are cracked, they're all punctured, or what, but I thought it was worth noting. In conclusion, if you drive in the inner city or suburbs, slowly, and want something cheap that might get you from A to B without a crash, I'd consider these. If you live in the hills or drive faster than my grandma, then I'd steer clear. There's a reason I replaced these after 10,000 kms, even with plenty of tread left.

    I recently put these tyres back on my manual 2007 Mazda 3 Maxx 2.0L Sedan in Australia, as my other set of tyres are below minimum tread now. They're just as bad as I remember.

    I bought a set of two Centara Vanti tyres 195/65/15 for my Skoda about a year ago through Amazon.....tyres have run 25000 kms and doing well...I was satisfied. Again on or about 1st November 2018 I purchased two more tyres through Amazon but after a run of just 2500 kms one of the tyre has developed a big bulge on the side wall of one of the tyre...I am unable to claim the warranty as there seems to be no dealer/company customer care number. Even there seems to be no warranty details on Amazon. I need help to replace the tyre....please call me on 9920328551.
