These are genuinely the worst tyres I have ever come across. I have fitted a new pair to the rear of my 320d and the car now feels like its on a skating rink. I haven driven 60 miles on them today and arrived at my destination feeling sick. The back end of the car feels like it's running on flat tyres. This accompanied with my traction control light coming on when going around a bend means I will never look at linglongs again.

Avoid at all costs.

The local tyre dealer recommended these when I went to replace the Lassa tyres I had on the front of my Lancer. With a better wet braking distance than the Lassa's they replaced for the same money I decided to try them. They list them as Green Max rather than Ling Long Green Max presumably to stop people thinking they're buying Chinese ditch finders. When I realised I'd they were Chinese I thought I'd made a big mistake but after a wet winter's driving I was wrong - they are great in the wet! I'd been happy with the Lassa's but these have much more grip in the wet when you chuck it into a bend or a roundabout, no hint of understeer at all. I'd but them again!

Oh dear lord you might as well just mould some blocks of concrete into a roughly round shape and fit them to your car. They lasted well enough getting 18000 from the front tyres and 22000 miles from the rears. The dry grip is okay they tend to lose it rapidly when pushed so be warned. In the wet its best to tiptoe everywhere and approaching any form of corner or roundabout fills you with dread as you know the car will slip out. They are cheap and nasty, use them to get a car through an MOT by all means but otherwise avoid.

So far, these tyres are amazing, I'm quite impressed. Only cost $80 AUS each and they are FAR better than the Yokohama's I had previously and the Dunlops prior to that. Definitely the best value and performance for money tyres I've ever purchased

Very stiff, great feedback. 4 tyres cost less than a tank of fuel.

Bought 3 of these for my car at a steal (£129 fitted with valve and balancing), i was expecting much but the tyres are actually very good. i've been using them for about 4000 miles now and they still have plenty of tread on them.

In short great budgets, not sure how they wear yet but at this price....
Wet grip is where budgets normally fall short, these don't.
