I just change my tire to dunlop and im very happy with the result while im driving smooth to ride i have a michellin but i think this time im going to buy again a dunlop tire no noise on the road and lots of grip
these Valero tires from primewell get me 40 mpg from my corolla but they do ride a little noisy. if you are fussy and complain about these tires spend more money and buy something else.do not blame the tires they are an economy line of tire from china u get what you paid for. I am a cheapskate too but I am not fussy. I got 20000 miles on them now. a little noisy but tread is wearing good no problems. I drive 70 miles a day in my corolla complain orbuy another brand or talk to a tire man who knows. these are good decent tires I paid cash for and I am happy. would buy again. good luck. do not be too picky I say. check tire pressure monthly about 33 lbs. is about right;
Was very happy until the MOT when it turned out that they haven't lasted longer than 8 months. Wasn't driving like a maniac, mostly motorway traffic.
