Fantastic tires for city - very quiet and soft! Roads in Bulgaria are the worst of everywhere in Europe - the raods are drivable, they arent great but they're there ...

Had these put on My Golf Mk4 GTTDI in July.

5000 miles in and the Tyres are going very well indeed.

Fuel economy has improved 20% and dry grip is fantastic compared to the pirellis I had before.

Well, when i first buoght theses tyres i was a bit put back having never heard of the brand. Now i can say that they handle excelent in the dry and just as good in the wet. I would that once the correct tyre pressure is achieved the tyre handles as good as those top brands. Only problem is that the tyre noise is much louder than normal and having said this i think that it just might put me off from buying them again

I bought these tyres based on the reviews here. Everything everyone else says is true of these tyres. The grip, the look, the style are all supurb! The Sultana's weak spot is wear. I think I've done around 5K on my fronts and the wear indicators are fast approaching. I don't push the car hard often, and most of my driving is done commuting to work, which is a steady 10 mile drive into the city. I'd love to say I'd buy these again but with wear like its going out of fashion and at around £100 per tyre I'm gonna look around.

just put these tyres on 2 days ago. they were cheap, £250 fitted for 215 35 18 on 18" rs4 wheels on my mk4 golf. so the tyre has stretch. what can i say for the tyre? well the first 30miles was rubbish. they were all over the place. however now, im okay with them. you get what you pay for. dry grip seems okay, wet grip, isn't bad, well i havent pushed to the limit yet. i'd say for a daily driver these tyres are okay, road noise isnt bad...although they make a strange buzzing noise. possibly buy again, however not for serious drivers...no feedback at all. Next year will be getting branded on there. will be better than 1.6 mm of tread most people are used to though and first budget tyre...im sorta impressed. rate 4 in the wet, just about a 6 in dry....JUST. this might change once the car is pushed!

The tyres are good in the dry, round some sharp bends I've done speeds that my Khumo's couldn't cope with. I can't imagine the wear is very good on them as they must be quite soft - I got them with the alloys I recently bought.

Will be swapping them for Falkens as the ride comfort is unbearable! I know they're low profile and stretched but this is crazy!
