Aptany RA301 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 19 reviews

Short tread life is the clearest concern with the Aptany RA301, raised by half of 18 owners, including several end-of-life accounts. Road noise is more favourable, with six positive comments against two criticisms, and three owners praise value for money. Wet grip is evenly divided, with four positive and four negative accounts, so confidence in rain is far from consistent. One owner who posted a follow-up became less satisfied after initially praising the tyre, but that is an individual experience rather than a shared ageing trend. The 54.1% average and equal totals of seven positive and seven negative reviews reflect the contrast between low-cost satisfaction and recurring wear complaints.

Absolutely rubbish tyre bought my used car and the seller put 4 of these tyres on I assume he had the cheapest tyre they did which was these. Very noisey tyre very poor grip in rain just masses of understeer. Fronts haven't lasted 7000 miles and they are now 2mm. Would steer clear of these tyres. Dont understand people who buy cheap tyres not worth it when a 10k car is in a ditch because you saved 100 quid on tyres.

I have them on a 2011 Equinox and only for a year so limited info. Like the low road noise and the performance on the highway. The SUV AWD has never been a good mileage vehicle and there is no change with these tires

Wet traction is amazing, very smooth and quiet on the hwy. Z rated , car drives a lot better than the previous brand name tire that I removed with lots of tread left because of the poor wet traction. My mechanic laughed at the tires being a off brand, then he was shocked that 2 tires balanced without needing any weights . For the money these tires are fantastic.

Not a good tyre, tyre wear is rubbish given me 5k miles local driving. Lose pressure every couple of weeks having to top them up. Not quiet what was said on the label. My Audi gave great mileage first 6-8 weeks after fitting the tyres but then dropped quiet significantly which i thought was a car problem, only to be told the tyres were probably the problem not the car. Anyway wouldnt buy these again other budget brands run better like Rovelo, Event etc.

Got these fitted on my fiesta Zyrtec s and am very surprised at the level of grip in the wet and winter conditions.. actually better grip than my Pirelli and dunlops previously.. I will definitely get these tyres fitted again ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
