Admiral 712

Without doubt the WORST tyres I have ever had on any car.

Had these fitted at £45 a wheel (all in). I know thats cheap, but I still expect a tyre to be able to hold its own when dry and in a straight line.

At the time I had a RWD 130BHP MGF and these were put on the rear. After less than 4000 miles they had just 3mm of tread left which is astonishingly poor - I could understand it if they were a very soft compound on a powerful, heavy RWD but 65bhp a wheel is not that much on a car weighing 1000kg.

They span in the dry, the span in the wet (managed snow ok for some unknown reason), they aquaplaned like mad in anything other than a 1mm deep puddle. They lost traction and nearly span me out on a roundabout at 9 mph, 9!!!

Noise was not too bad and to be fair they did feel ok when driving around town in the dry with a smooth ride.

Wet grip is terrible, they nearly get you killed.

A cheap terrible tyre, the khumo 712 that this is a copy of was a reasonable the.

Simply the worst !

My Mechanic installed 4 tyres on my Saab. The front tyre broke a bead only months after install. The car was hopping up and down until I replaced the tyre.

Tyres came with the car. I have done just under 30 000km's with little wear. Very noisey - Tyre compound ver hard. Tyres shudder under hard cornering. Unsure in the wet. Will be replacing these with NT5000's
