Sunny SN3800

These tyres were fitted new to a Mondeo bought from a dealer. On collecting the car I noticed a lot of a whining kind of noise, almost as those the bearings were faulty. That noise wasn't there when I had the test drive on the old tyres! Was told they would bed in, but with no success. I suppose I will have to change them now, can't stand the noise any more! Otherwise the grip for my kind of driving is acceptable.

These tyres should not be available to buy, recentley bought a new merc, rear wheel drive with 25obhp diesel power, the last owner had put these so called tyres on the back end where all the power goes !! Just ok in the dry, but in the wet absolutley terrifying, the traction contol is working overtime to keep the car on the road, i do not drive it fast as have young family in the back of the car, these tyres have been on car for 4 weeks and they will be replaced by the weekend, be warned never skimp on tyres as you will get what you pay for !!

Truely terrible tyres. The dry grip is not too bad but the wet grip is appalling, breaking traction at ludicrously slow speeds and simply not regaining it at all. They were extremely unpredictable in the wet as well, reaching the limit without any warning. I have not used the tyres quite long enough to comment on the wear rate, and wouldnt really want to anyway, considering how they have performed. Although the tyres seem relatively comfortable and absorb the bumps and holes nicely, they do make quite a bit of noise on the motorway at any speed and can be very intrusive over a long distance. I would not buy these tyres again and would instead go for a slightly more expensive - and safe - option.

I had 3 of these budget tyres fitted 8 months ago and barely used the car (to the station and back) and had to have them re-balanced 3 times in total! Every single time they were out of balance and needed more weight added, in the end one wheel topped 130g extra weight (any tyre place will tell you this is extreme!). In the end I changed the two front ones due to vibration and noise for Event WL905 tyres and instantly the vibration problem has gone. The tyre shop said that Sunny tyres are bad tyres and mine were bad tyres to start with when I bought them.

Advice - I would avoid these tyres at all costs. Spend a couple of pounds more and get Event or premium quality tyres.

Bought these tyres then read reviews! Have now driven in dry and wet conditions and tyres are great, very little road noise at any speed and car feels much smoother

Well, it's been long enough to form an Opinion. i bought these as replacement for the Run Flat RE050A bridgestones I had. I went into the purchase knowing they were going to be utter crap so i only replaced the front two on my FWD sedan with these so that the rear end wouldn't go spinning out of control. as I suspected they were almost like driving with grease on the road in the first 150-200 miles.

I say that few miles because I spent most of it, in the dry, with the traction control off, and spinning the life out of the tires to get some wear and heat cycles into them. after about 3-4 days, the tires started to stick really nicely. never had a problem in the rain and they're pretty progressive if you're careful... They're a lot better than the Federal SS595 tires i ran a while back, but they suffer from the same trait... You have to drive on them pretty hard initially to get some heat built up before trying some slick maneuvering. If you're on cold tires, they'll slide a great deal.

Overall, I wouldn't buy them again, but I'm not disappointed for the price I paid.

Terrible tyre, a lot of road noise terrible grip in the wet, bordering on dangerous. Would not recommend under any circumstances. They are true budget tyres.

These are the worst tyres ive ever bought the road noise is terrible.
I drive a mondeo taxi in blackpool and just bought these tyres for the front nice and cheap so i thought.
Most people that get in me cab think theres somethin wrong with cab the amount of noise and they all claim the wheel bearings have gone....

These tyres are dangerous on wet or icy roads. I had them on a 2003 passat sport. Although the car has ESP, I found that I had to drive slower than the average car on the road in wet conditions. Do not buy these tyres, they are dangerous in my opinion.

what an utter load of rubbish....
They feel grippy at first.. but then suddenly let go! my ESP light hasnt been off since these tyres were fitted to the back of my car..
Just awful!!!!
