Had these on my 200BHP mitsubishi FTO running some slight negative camber and tbh I am amazed at the poor ratings! well, the wet these give me no confidence at all, often spinning up but in the dry I thought for a budget tyre they are fantastic! seriously I had lots of confidence in them in the dry, almost as much as my old set of paradas! seemed heard wearing enough also. but in all fairness, they are rubbish int the wet however I drive sensibly in the wet and didnt have any huge issues.

Very poor build quality. Ordered one which upon fitting onto alloy turned out to have nice bulges. This was returned and a subsequent tyre provided. The new one appeared to be ok at first. Few hundred miles later it was mot time and to my surprise the tester informs me that one tyre needs changing badly. Surprise surprise it was the Sunew. There were massive bulges all over the inside edge of the tyre. Luckily the car is used on rare occasions locally, as i pressume if it were to be taken on a long drive it could easily have burst!
Never buy this cheap stuff again.

These were brand new on my Alfa GTV V6 when I got it. They have never inspired confidence in the dry. Because it's only a second car I will not use it in the wet,I just don't feel they could take any more loss of performance. The front end feels very vague and maybe unrelated but the car weaves badly under hard acceleration. Although hardly worn I intend to get them off the car as soon as funds allow.

Don't get them. Nearly lost control of my car twice today when it rained going round a roundabout. Road noise is quiet high. Got them with a set of 18" alloys but didn't think the would be so bad. They are ok on dry roads.
