I felt sad replacing my Mitchelin tyres and had to settle for so called "budget-tyres"..When they brought the Durun tyres for me to view..i liked what i saw...and today..i'm still very happy with them and they are in a very good condition. I was afraid to hammer my car in wet conditions..as the Durun's had bad reviews in wet conditions...well.. i still hammer my car..dry or wet..and no problems whatsoever!!!
Thank you Durun..for helping us with a very good alternative when the budget is low!!

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Very good dry grip and handling especially when new. In wet, the tyres performed good but not as good as in the dry. The tyres proved to be robust on bad road surfaces and over many potholes. In general I cannot fault the tyres for the general driving experience. The only downside was the tyres did not last long (approx. 15K miles) which was surprising to me as 70% of the mileage was in town with average speeds below 40mph, and rest on motorways at the national limits. At nearly £300 each tyre, I believe these high performance tyres are wasted if majority of driving is low speed city driving. For this reason alone, I will not buy them again.
These max figures may seem weird, but I genuinely find that these cheap tyres are excellent all-rounders. I have them mounted on my W166 ML350 Benz and while I don't drive it as if I stole it, the car does get some vigorous handling. Wet or dry road, there's no difference, they're quiet at any speed, they don't generate any anxiety on tight corners, although the car's electronics do take over if I approach the limit, and the wear factor is quite amazing. At 38,000km, there's still plenty of tread above the wear bars and I estimate that another 25k-30k is well within expectations. I'd definitely buy them again.
Cheap and cheerful tyres. I am surprised how well they perform on my little city car.
I only paid £120 for all four !
Don't know what people expect for the money. So far only covered 1000 miles with no problems.
I have to add if you drive a performance vehicle buy the best tyres you can afford.
Would definitely buy these again .

Ford Focus 2011 Diesel 1.5L (~270nm torque). Set of 4 fresh Durun L919's on purchase in 2019. I had done only 3000 miles by 2022 (Covid Lockdowns) and all 4 had developed dangerous ring cracks on them almost failing the MOT - very hard poor quality rubber. Aside from that marked flaw, they gripped really well in both wet and dry and handling was good when I threw the little car into corners, but it is a light car. Road feedback, because the rubber was quite hard, was high, as was the noise. Felt every little bump in the road to the point it was uncomfortable and feared for my suspension. Replaced all today with Sumitomo tyres and now I can't feel anything on the road!
Excellent...good value for your money!..wet and dry conditions surprised me how good they performed. Even on bumpy gravel roads they performed well.
