The Davanti DX640 receives mostly favourable owner reviews, with quiet running, dry grip and ride comfort the clearest positives. Wet grip attracts more praise than criticism, though around one in seven reviews raises concerns, so confidence in rain is far from unanimous. Value is another recurring strength, while tread life divides opinion, with roughly one in six reviews reporting disappointing wear alongside accounts of long service. A smaller group, around one in sixteen, describes instability at speed. Mid-life and end-of-life reports also include some loss of wet grip as the tread wears, although this is a minority experience.

These tyres would appear to be made from cheese and not cheddar, the soft kind like Feta. The merest hint of a curb and large chunks fall off the side wall. I will have to replace the two front tyres after 6 months and 700 miles to get the car through MOT. The previous tyres were on the car 8 years so it’s not the drive, my wife who’s not a brilliant driver to be honest, but the previous tyres stuck around for 8 years so I’m pretty sure I won’t be buying Devanti tyres any time soon. Appalling bad tyres.
Rubbish they have perished...big ridge around the tyre air coming out. And whoever thought of putting white rubber under the black? It rubs off and leaves them looking awful. I would never buy again

So these tyres were on my car when I bought it ... unfortunately they were almost new. Why unfortunately ? Well my car is a Renault Laguna GT with 4-wheel steer and its the third one of this spec I've had .... it just 'fits' me and actually, with the right tyres, it's a really enjoyable drive, especially on the back roads round here. I've had a few different tyre types on these cars and ended-up on Michelin Pilot 4s so when I tried driving the same on these Davantis, I rapidly realised I was going to end-up in a ditch if I wasn't careful. Although they're perfectly acceptable in a straight line ... oh, no ... not round corners .... you can feel the sidewalls just giving way and the whole car just wanting to wander sideways - not a nice feeling at all ! Like I said .... unfortunately they were almost new and this stupidly influenced my decision to stick with them until they needed replacement. A few weeks was enough ... I mean ... I'd had enough of no longer enjoying driving a car I was very familiar with and wondering if I'd purchased an, admittedly low-mileage, lemon. To be honest the Michelins were never that great in the wet, but after a long dry spell, slippery roads from the first rain on these tyres had me driving like an old man with a hat. So I bit the bullet and decided to try some Goodyears for a change .... thank you God !!!! No, it wasn't the car ... it was the tyres. I'm sure that if all you're interested-in is getting the car through the MOT and driving to the shops or up-and-down a nice straight motorway, they're perfectly fine ... but if you actually want to DRIVE ... dont bother with this tyre ... it's just not up to it.
Which tyres do you drive?

I’ve these on my 3.0 Audi A6 Quattro. They aren’t an uncomfortable tyre, so to speak, but they leave a lot to be desired if you’re even a modestly spirited driver. The traction control on my Audi is very aggressive, so much so that if I’m having a play, I disable it. I’ve lost traction several times in low speed but high sidewall force scenarios. These trees just don’t hold up to any lateral force at all. Unless you’re dithering about, they will throw your car all over the road in a wallow. I can’t speak to how long they last, nor how they are in the wet. I’ve done a thousand miles on mine and I’m ready to swap them out for just about anything.
The biggest issue is the way they respond under braking. They just don’t. They slip and slide all over the place under intense braking.
Are they okay for doing the weekly shop? Yes. Are they okay for dithering about, doing the school run, and doing 60mph in the outside lane? Probably. Are they any good if you like to use more than 30 percent of your available throttle sometimes? No.
I didn’t choose to fit them. They were fitted merely to get through an MoT by the previous owner.
Second set first set on my Ford Kuga for towing my caravan
First class
Changed my vehicle immediately took of half worn tyres and replaced with davanti winter tyres have also just fitted summer tyre winter tyres now on rack in garage ,all this budget being poor I’ve found nonsense
But of course fit tyres to suit your life style and pocket.
Awful. My partner panic bought two rears for my Alfa Guilia, after borrowing my car and getting a flat. Originally had run flats, yes they rode harshly, but these are like driving on marshmallows. The car bounces and wallows and doesn't hold a line like the previous premium run flats. I know I'm comparing totally different grade and structure of tyre, but they feel unsafe. Would never buy again and would not recommend. Can't wait for them to wear out and replace.
Had a set on my car when I bought it. Replaced then as they were a bit worn and managed 38k miles on them before they needed replaced. Booked the car in for 4 more.
Some people saying they wear quickly and no grip, etc. might be the case on their car but on mine they’ve been perfect. Quiet, comfortable and good grip in the wet. My car isn’t sporty so can’t comment on that sense as I just don’t know. I like to get my wheel alignment checked every 6 months or so.
Not great in the snow but no summer tyres are.
Definitely recommend.
DX640 245/40R19s all round on my Infiniti Q50. 5000 miles in, these are simply the best tyres I’ve ever bought. I’ll never buy another brand, whisper quiet and confidence inspiring. Recommended like fury.
I bought 2 x 245 40 R19 for the front & 2 x 275 35 R19 for the rear of my BMW 5 SERIES F10. I replaced the Pirelli P Zeros that were on my car with these Davanti DX640's, and what a surprise... It's so much more quieter and a more softer softer than the Pirelli's. And my BMW has a sport suspension as it is the MSport package. I'll definitely recommend them and will buy them again.
I'm very happy with them, good in dry and wet, cant comment on wear rate I've not had them long enough, I've had premium tyres, goodyear, Michelins, etc,
these are just as good
Bought a one year old Grandland X that had just had a pair fitted to the front. I was wary but intially suprised that they seemed to be fine in sun and acceptable in the wet . After 17000 miles they were down to 4mm dry grip remained okay but wet grip completely disappeared to where i couldnt pull out at a junction without them slipping so had to get them changed. Probably the better end of budget and ive had worse tyres in the last but they arent for me and I woudlnt buy them myself.
