Autogrip F107

snaked in straight line on motorway - thought this was a bedding in problem and found to my cost they are simply abysmal. car write off and hospital for me and oncoming vehicle driver. if this was the USA there would probably be a class action suit against the supplier by now..

I lost the back end of my (new to me) Mark 2 TT last night around a roundabout going quite slowly in the wet. The rear tyres came with the car and are Autogrip. The TT is front wheel drive so very odd behaviour for the car - I am getting rid of these even though they are brand new as they are a liability.

Tyres came on used MX5 & scared the living daylights out of the mechanic who lost back end whilst driving steadily round a roundabout. The 2 fronts were worn & so dealer agreed to put 2 Bridgestones on rear but swapped the remaining 'new' Autogrips to the front. Grip and handling on front is poor and I'm getting rid of them ASAP although they are in 'excellent condition'. Wouldn't reccommend these tyres for any car.

As a cheap charlie I have often purchased budgets, lived with their limitations alphas wanlis etc but these are incredible (bad).
Only put on the front and off down the A3 in the dry, onto A31 slip road following traffic ABS light flickers, following vans, caravans front just "pushes" not even funny just juddery understeer. Fairish straight line stopping and in the wet just very limited. Tried reversing the tread (pseudo unis)) no better.
Without the judder could suit "drifter"-just joking.
Look like they will last for ever (in my garden). Now back on Continentals.

Hey,

Thought i should write a little review. glad to see some more reviews on here and im not the only one with the wet performance problem.

I will be looking to change these tyres asap. Almost crashed several times in the wet (even damp). These tryes are terrible in wet, going around roundabouts and coming to a stop in a hurry. would not recommend.

Downright dangerous in wet. My 300bhp 440Nm remapped Saab Aero has a set of these on the front.Wheelspin at 80mph in the wet, understeer like a hovercraft on wet roundabouts.Even with 7mm left on tread will be swapping on Saturday for good year assymetric f2s before I kill my family along with someone else's. I would not put these on a wheelbarrow.

Just rubbish, nearly died with these tires on in the wet. Cant go round corners in wet with no throttel at 30kph. so so SHIT!

I bought some new alloys a year ago shod with 4 brand new Autogrip F107.
For price & grip I cannot fault these tyres.

This week 2 of the tyres blew out on the sidewall. There was still plenty of grip left so needless to say Im slightly annoyed but I guess this is the downside of cheap tyres. We have had some cold weather with temperatures around -2 so perhaps these cheap tyres arent able to cope with temperature changes.

I dont plan to keep the car longer than another 6 months so I have bought 4 more of these tyres as they are within my price range. If I had more money I would steer clear of these tyres as they dont seem to last longer than a year.

i just put a set on my bmw 535d remapped 340bhp great in the dry ok in the wet top of the range tyre for the bmw would cost £200+ these £95 so if they move about in the wet a bit its not the end of the world i have to be pushing on to get them to move in the wet have bridgestones on the rear before these they moved just the same in the wet. i find it hard to believe that these tyres would break away in the wet the way alot of people on here is saying on slower cars :)

The car came with a mixture of Autogrip F107/Autoguard tyres. These are O.K. in the dry but lethal in the wet. Even with 4 motion 4WD, without warning at roundabout speeds all four would suddenly break away in the wet. The spare was an Avon ZZ3 and soon as I put the Avon tyres on the car will now go around a roundabout without the back end sliding. Do not buy these tyres! Spend a little more and get a midrange tyre.
