Lassa Greenways 175/70 R14 Honda Fit (Jazz) 30,000 miles November 26, 2025
Compared to the Greenways equivalents, which I've used in three sets since 2016, their wet performance is quite good at reasonable speeds. In hot climates, UV-induced hairline cracks begin to appear on the sidewalls and treads after the third year. Incidentally, what I've mentioned applies to Cyprus conditions. Cornering performance is high, and due to the thin sidewall, they're not as good, but they're good at moderate speeds.

Road noise varies depending on the asphalt quality, but after the first two years, noise begins to increase due to hardening. Overall, their price is quite reasonable and they're worth a try.

Dunlop SP Sport 560 175/70 R14 Hyundai Accent 42 miles August 3, 2024
On my 2025 Hyundai Accent the best I have used. Beats other premium more expensive tyres. 91kw on front tyres destroys other tyres.

Hifly HF201 175/70 R14 Toyota Corolla 700 miles July 13, 2023
Worst tires ever. My mechanic put a pair of these on my car only a few months ago, and they are already in an unwarrantable state after only 1100km (no, I didn't miss a zero there). This is a fraction of what you should get out of even cheaper tyres. After reading numerous reviews of these tyres I now understand why the car has felt less stable when driving, it's like driving on tyres made from jelly. DO NOT BUY - THEY ARE DANGEROUS!

Dunlop Sport All Season 175/70 R14 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 2,000 miles October 10, 2021
Came from Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2. These tires are much better in dry then Gen 2, approx as good in rain as Gen 2. Do not like dry braking feel when you press pedal to the floor (hard to estimate your stopping distance) , but dry and wet handling are exemplary. I sincerely doubt I will get the chance to test them on snow, but I hope snow is not trade off for very good dry and wet handling.
