The Delinte DH2 is a budget summer touring tyre that feels reassuringly capable in the dry and can come across as a strong value buy on everyday roads. Many drivers report stable motorway manners and decent tread life for the money. However, independent testing repeatedly highlights significant wet-weather shortcomings, especially aquaplaning resistance, which materially limits its all-round suitability.

“I actually use these tyres for racing on and to be honest I've done 5 events of very hard driving in the dry and wet and can't complain once. They stick in all weathers. For a budget tyre I'd really recommend these”
“the worst tire I ever buy all 4 tire only last long less than 6 month,is not because wear to quick but all broken 2 tires has bubble,one start peeling out, one broken just running hit small hole on the road.with note...”
“I ha e these tyres on the rear of my 1998 Honda Civic which has mild track and fast road use. Coupled with T1R up front I've not had a better combination before. Would certainly KY buy this design again.”

These came new when I bought a used car. At First I told people there a choice for a cheap tire, think they where 52$ online. I would probably narrow down the performance,ride, handling a 5 across the board for about 15000 mile then all of a sudden the worst road noise and bumpy ride on the hwy. After getting them balanced they continued to get worse. I can't recommend anyone buying these!
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
I was pleasantly surprised with these tyres. They came to me ready fitted to a set of alloys which I bought for my car and I was fully expecting them to be a typical ditchfinder budget tyre, especially on the rear of a powerful RWD car. They are not anything of the sort and they actually perform really well in most conditions. The only time they suffer slightly is in cold damp conditions, but being a summer tyre this might be expected.
I would certainly buy them again., It would be daft to say they are as good in all areas as most poremium tyres, but at less than half the price they are excellent value. Wear rate is also very good even after hard driving.

I bought the dh2 all season tyres for my 330ci convertible and i cant fault them in anyway they last a pretty long time. They are great in all weather,They got me up some pretty steep hills when we had the snow earlier this year while other car was struggling, i will deninately buy these tyres again when im due a new set
bought a set for my subaru legacy gt. as the car is 4 wheel drive cant fault the tyres. gripping and handling well. well over the speed limits can feel the softness of the side walls but then they are not meant for racing. cheap tyres abot 160 delivered. i'd say not bad for what they are. buy again? don't know at the moment. will see when time comes
I don't usually buy budget tyres, and the reason my car came to have these fitted is that they cam mounted to a set of used Alloy wheels which I bought.
These tyres are a hard compound, which means that grip in the dry is good, but grip in the wet suffers. They will not throw you off of the road like some of the worst budget tyres you can buy, but wet grip is well down compared to mid range or premium brands. When the temperature drops below around 10ºC the grip in wet conditions deteriorates further, and you have to be very careful on my my RWD car not to get the car sideways, even when being driven carefully with the traction control on. My advice would be to spend a bit extra and get a mid range tyre at the least, but if you are really strapped for cash there are worse tyres you can buy.
I ha e these tyres on the rear of my 1998 Honda Civic which has mild track and fast road use. Coupled with T1R up front I've not had a better combination before. Would certainly KY buy this design again.
These car alreasy fitted to my car. I was expecting them to be real ditchfinders as they are a budget tyre, but they are actually acceptably ok, providing you drive steadily. Sure, premium and most midrange tyres have more wet grip, but they don't feel like you are driving on ice as soon as it rains like you often get with other budget tyres. They are also quite progressive on the limit.
I am a keen driver, so will get some better rubber once they wear out or when funds allow, but if you in the market for a budget tyre and little else then you could do worse.
They grip pretty well in the dry, not too noisy and wear well.
A good budget tyre had no problems whatsoever my car is torque on pull away and they grip wel,no problem in the wet down the lanes and fine in the dry a bit sloppy in the snow but it was a massive downpour. In my opinion they are great value so much i put them on the wife's insignia
Had these fitted by Tyres on the Drive as I just needed a set of tyres for the fronts on my Kia Rio Chill. I do a lot of motorway driving but I couldn't afford much so brought some budgets, seem a good tyre for a Chinese budget tyre. Hold the road well, only down side is the side walls aren't that strong and give the impression that there a little flat when there's 32psi in them. I think when my Firestone Multihawks run down on the back I'll change them for these.
The Tyres are good on dry conditions. Even on high Speeds (190 Km/h) the feel save. Only on Wet Roads they get a little slippy but not critical. After 14.000 KM the had around 5,5mm Profile. They carry me and my Family through Bad Roads in Turkey and i can surely say theay are good tyres for cheap Price!
the worst tire I ever buy all 4 tire only last long less than 6 month,is not because wear to quick but all broken 2 tires has bubble,one start peeling out, one broken just running hit small hole on the road.with note I'm regular driver and all those problem from daily use driving.
