    just as good as Run Flats...got a puncture after hitting a pothole in the road, it tore a hole in the outer sidewall. The BMW e92 drove for 26 miles with no air in the nearside rear tyre and got us home...

    Early days yet, but I have just fitted 4 of these to my Jaguar XF 3.0D S last week, I was very apprehensive at first after always using Dunlop Sports Maxx in my 6 years of ownership of this car, and I'm not usually the sort of person to fit 'no name cheapo's' to anything, having had experience of false economy 'ditch finders' in my younger days, but a fleet manager who I know and trust recommended these, he said he fits them to numerous fleet cars of various size and performance with no issues, as these were a 3rd of the price and I was sick of the cost of the Dunlop's I decided to give them a try.

    So far I've only used them around town but up to now they feel great in wet and dry conditions, on quiet roads I've deliberately turned in hard to try and provoke under-steer at roundabouts and given the 275bhp turbo diesel a crafty prod to encourage the traction control light to make an appearance on the exits but its only shown once after deliberate provocation, generally they remain firmly planted, another positive is the ride quality is also smoother than the Dunlop's, and the 'notchy' low speed manoeuvring in cold temperatures displayed by the Dunlop's has also gone.

    It remains to be seen how well they wear, and how they feel on a fast flowing 'A' road, but my experience so far is 100% positive, and I would even go so far as to say they actually feel better than the Dunlop's so far!!

    I reviewed these tyres soon after purchase in December, just to update on these, they have been faultless over the past 4 months and around 2500 miles in all conditions, apart from snow which we haven't had this year. Verdict - Definitely recommend

    Given 54% while driving a Volkswagen (245/35 R19) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
    Dry grip is fine, for 150-160 km/h is fine, but if you're driving faster, it will be complicated.
    Wet grip is awful, max safety speed on wet surface is about 100-110 km/h
    Breaking on dry is not good
    Breaking on wet is terrible
    Overall, it's good for this price and driving normally. However, driving faster than 200 km/h is bad.

    In my case on 9j ET33 rims on it these tires are smaller than the other brands -_-
    Will change them on a newer model TH202 or CS7

    I bought 2 of these and put on the rear of my car ,,I had 2 other half worn "ok" brand budget tires on the front ....the first few days with this tire was interesting...literally no grip,,i'd go into round abouts tail first in the dry,,but the car balanced out in the wet...after maybe 1000km,the oversteer in the dry had gone and the car was now understeering so that would seem to suggest the tire gained a lot of grip after scrubbing in....it still looks brand new after 7000+km

    It's not uncommon for tyres to need a few hundred miles of break-in when freshly installed, especially for wet grip in cooler conditions. It's great your car got its balance back.

    Given 38% while driving a Porsche cayenne s (225/45 R20) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
    I've had reasonable experiences with budget brands in the past, so I'm not a tyre snob by any means. I also bought the car with these tyres fitted, so have no confirmation bias after paying my own money for them.

    These Triangles were fitted as new on the car when I picked it up. Initial impressions of dry grip were actually quite positive. I didn't push the car to its limits and so I didn't experience any issues. Likewise I found them a bit quieter than some premium brands I'd experienced when test driving other cayennes prior to buying mine.

    In the wet however, it's a different story. The first hint that they might not be much good was when I had to drive up a damp and greasy driveway. The 4WD system shuffled the power around trying to find some grip, but this became an almost laughable process the car really struggled to haul itself up the incline over the course of about 20 seconds of wheel-spinning chaos.

    Since then, each time I've driven the car in the wet, I've done so on tip toes. The wet grip on these things is non-existent. Even navigating roundabouts, medium sized bends at normal road speeds results in the car understeering. Faster, less curved bends can result in a disconcerting 'float' as the car loses grip on all corners.

    Having owned 70+ cars, I can only think of a couple of times I've bought one and thought 'these tyres are dangerous' and I think these Triangles are the most extreme example of this. Avoid at all costs.

    I had them installed at the begining of March 2023. They are DOT 4622.
    I drove 20k km and all 4 tyres reached the end of life markings.
    Its August right now.

    For this size, th201 maybe is the cheapest performance tire, only 500 yuan (around 65 euros) each, but the performance is not very much behind those expensive tires I used before, such as Goodyear F1 Asymmetric SUV and Michelin LS3. Very recommend if you can buy it at this price.

    On dry weather i would say they are good for the price of 80€ each. On wet weather they are horrible, its like ice skating on rwd car. On high speed 200km/h not very stable and feels like car is all over the road. But for summer driving its not bad choice. Noise is average, not bad. Havent tried them on track.

    The worst tires I've ever had, absolutely no grip on a wet road. I had them for two months and i thought I would kill myself. Stay away from this product.

    Had a set on a Mk7 Golf GTI for a short period of time and can categorically say they are one of the worst tyres I've ever driven on. Dry grip is acceptable but wet grip is an absolute joke. Road noise is noticeable and road feedback is dull. Switched to a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and they immediately transformed the car. If you actually care about driving and the safety of your vehicle, I wouldn't recommend cheaping out on a set of Triangles.

    Went from pirelli p-zeros to these omg absolutely terrible, no grip, gears change at higher rpms on automatic and i just have a 180bhp bmw 2 series coupe, they last very long though which is good but that's because they do nothing.

    When these tyres was new, it was quite good choise for the money, so I was thinking.. good road feedback, silent, good grip in dry and OK grip in wet, but right now, after 10k km rear tyres (rwd) had left only 4mm (no drifting) and wet grip are awful, I would say dangerous! Never buy these tyres again, only acceptable chinese tyres was Sailun for that money. All the other are just danger in wet conditions.

    I had these fitted on my 2013 Ford Focus. They are a perfectly acceptable tyre at a good price; however, I wouldn't recommend them for anything more than conservative driving. I found handling and grip to be insufficient when driving around corners as a reasonable speed and wet grip was a bit of an issue at anything like half throttle.

    When I purchased my car unfortunately these tyres were fitted. Over 7000 miles of driving with these tyres I can say the following. On dual carriageway driving notable roar from the tyres is magnified even on new smooth tarmac. B road driving the tyres detract from what should be a fun drive, no progression from what the tyres are capable of to the limit and in the wet these tyres are frankly dangerous. Over the 7000 miles I've noticed fairly quick wear although even, the sidewalls look as though unhappy with the weight of the car. Overall even as a cheap option on a every day car I wouldn't touch these, I certainly wouldn't put these back on my car! Pirelli P-Zeros being fitted 30/05 can't wait.
