Ford Puma 1.7 Tyres

Excellent tyres. Dry grip is brilliant, turn in precise and the tyre gives great confidence. In the wet the tyre feels pretty much the same, but with slightly less grip as you would expect. The tyre is also very hard wearing, and very quiet. It is well worth spending the extra for these tyres as they are worth every penny.

Superb all season tyre very well suited to UK climate copes well with deep standing water and slushy snow with astonishing braking performance and directional stability in same conditions even down to legal tyre depth!

The Hydragrip definitely feels compromised on hotter days +25 degree C in both road noise and wear rate increases. Shame about limited availability and sizes now at ?40 a corner certainly a rare gem finding a premium tyre at budget-mid range prices.

Excellent, replaced Bridgestone Turanza ER300 and much prefer these. The bridgestones werent worn out (50% ish) but hit a brick in the road and blew one out. Always replace as a pair and these were great looking and a good price. Massive front end grip, car is FWD and 127bhp, but very light so its very easy to sping the fronts up on greasy British country roads. These show a marked improvement in wet weather traction off the line and cornering grip. As the name suggests! They did however take about 200miles to scrub in. The Puma is a superb handling car and these compliment the car very well indeed. They also ride a little softer than the Bridgeys. They so a soft sidewall so on a light car they are great, maybe not so great on a heavier car though. Having said that, the Conti Sports on the front of our A4 Audi are nearly done, so I will give these a shot on the front of that too and see how they perform on a heavier car. They also look brilliant which is a plus of course! Very much recommended. Shop around and they arent even expensive, the ones on the Puma cost £105 fully fitted for a pair including a free alignment check from F1AutoCenter, great value. As for wear, cant comment but who cares really unless its like 5k miles, our cars all get driven enthusiastically so just replace them when done, simple!

Just had these on the front. Steering feel was a bit vague for the first 1500 miles but then got better and better. Seem to be wearing fairly quick but they get a hard time.
Swapped them to back ready to buy 2 more for front, meanwhile 2 cheapos on the front. Understeered straight on twice in a week with cheapostyres on front. So must have been driving like a tw*t with Uniroyals on the front! Very good, looking forward to getting new ones on the front and having them all round. Highly recommended.

The Toyos are hugely confidence inspiring, The car feels planted through the corners and is very predictable on the limit. Even if you do find yourself going beyond the available grip the breakaway is progressive, with good feedback through the wheel wet or dry.

Good tyre to start with, have these fitted to my 1.7 Puma but they are not wearing well. Not even done 20,000 miles. Yes I dont hang around, I dont wheel spin though! Other tyres have lasted much longer. If you dont mind changing tryes sooner rather than later then for the price they arent a bad option.

This tyre got me interested firstly on looks. Wide lateral shoulder blocks and plenty of sipes. Having used several other winter tyre brands in the past and a interest in winter tyre development I thought I'd give them a try. Regular driving is satisfactory wet or dry but the hs449 come into its
Own up the hills through Derbyshire in around 4/5inchs of fresh snow and slush. The ford puma needs all the help it can get in snow and the hs449 worked better for me than previous high end brands I have tried.

Great dry grip, wear fast but not unexpectedly so considering how soft they are. Certainly wouldn't last long on a heavier/more powerful car!

Not a very good tyre.
Dry grip is average, wet grip is very poor and the tyre is noisy.
Supposedly Debica is owned by Goodyear, yet I have had better far eastern tyres.
