Initial Impressions

We use our Suzuki on paved roads with some rough parts due to recent wet weather. These tyres are great all rounders. Good ride, grip and decent handling. If you are a spirited driver then maybe these tyres aren't for you.

Very pleased with the Altenzo Sports Equators on our 2015 Suzuki Swift. Mixture of town and country driving. Really can't fault them. Would certainly buy again.

Awesome tyres, despite the fact that they were new in the market and I was skeptical about their performance. They handle very well and are pretty comfortable and stable even at high speeds. Would definitely buy again, but on a bigger wheel.

Cant complain about these 'budget' tyres, 30 quid a corner, work very well on a Focus estate diesel, both in the wet and dry! Would'nt put them on my Mitsubishi Evo like. Saying that Does a surprisingly excellent job. Depends what car you put them on I suppose!

As good as any brand name tire at a fraction of the cost. Instead of high-tech, I went for the retro muscle car wheel look and these tires look great on alum rims. Makes the car look like a Hot Wheel. Very quiet ride, smooth, good cornering with reduced understeer. Great handling, even during one emergency highway manouevre. Nice summery tread pattern that is completely useless in snow. Insignificant tread wear after 8 months of warm weather use. REALLY happy i got them.
