Absolute shite. Put a set of these budgets on rear of my ep3 as two of my previous which were falkens, I can't take a corner at normal driving speeds without the arse end wanting to be at front. I just wanted budgets up until summer time. But these will coming off asap. Just goes to show cheap and nasty. That said if you were to be a slower 30 mph main road driver I'm sure you'll be good to go. Respect the speed limit.

These Tires are some of the best tires I have ever bought. I use them for normal driving and for drifting and they have exceeded my expectations. I drift in competition and normally I will blow two or three sets of normal toyo brands...But kenda I used the entire event without blowing one tire. As far as normal driving goes, these tires couldn't be better. they are great quality for a great price and outlast all those top brands that are way over priced. I will always run kendas on my car!

A set of practically brand new tyres of this brand were on my car when I purchased it. I was very dubious at first but pleasantly surprised by the results. Wet or dry they stick and do exactly what they say on the tin. Far better than Hankooks, Falkens, Toyo's and all the other sub-prime brands. They perform well above what I would expect from budget tyres on my car. This is the third Alfa 156 I have owned and experimented with lots of brands in the past. I won't be buying them again however as they are only a few pounds less than the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tyres that are totally amazing with this car.

used 6 sets of these tires on the rear of my drift machine(and NOT in a coned parking lot you silly americans, an accual track). let me tell you, they last forever! and if you didnt know already they use these tires in D1. i would highly recommend that you do not use these for the fronts at all, they do not provide enough grip for the needed control in drifting. i tried to use these while on a wet track, took a little bit to get used to and i dropped tire pressure from 54psi to 45psi and that helped a bit plus they lasted even longer on the wet track... man that was a fun day.

Good dry grip once you got them warm, shockingly bad once they were wet... almost dangerous even.

These came fitted on a replacement alloy.
The tyre lasted less than a week before a pothole punctured the tread meets the side wall!!
On inspection of the damage there is no wonder this happened... there is hardly any reinforcement used in the side walls and the rubber used is so soft it poses little mechanical protection to being punctured by a stone!!
This would make these tyres extremely dangerous if you drove over a piece of debris at 70 on a motorway.
We only ever fit decent brand tyres to our vehicles and as such the only times we have had punctures is from nails etc
Avoid cheap tyres as you are risking your life!!

Running 235/45R17's on my 2003 BA XR8 Boss Sedan, must say that for their price range their the best I've used, not as good as the Bridgestone Potenza's I've had in the past but that said they cost almost 3 times the price, Personally not a fan of Uni-directional's but these are an exeption. Highly recomended "budget class" tyre (competeing with Triangle, Diamondback, Event and Primewell)would I buy them again. You bet I would and thats coming from a tyre fitter.
