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!!
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.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
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!
Do not buy these tyres if you drive sporty.
For just casual slow/normal drving it is just okish.
Do not drive hard and ask great performance in the wet.
The worst with it is the wear. Man that is the worst tyres concerning wear and tear. Only 6000 miles!
Put 4 on brand new. 3 years later and only 4000 miles done, all 4 have a ring crack in the inner tread, all the way around the entire circumference of the tyre. Tread still 6mm, all good on the outside, but MOT pulled it up. Basically really poor quality rubber that biodegrades with age, not miles. Avoid unless you do high mileage. Otherwise, the car (Ford Focus) feels comfortable and grippy in all conditions. It only weighs 1.3 tonne though, so on a heavier car these may not grip as well.
Durun is the BIGGEST RUBBISH tyre ever made!!!!!!!!! Most dangerous tyres. NO value. I`ve done
5000 km`s with the set of tyres and already saw the tread has started wearing off badly and has bubles. I`ve made an accident. Stay of the road when wet. No grip on dry or wet roads. Poor road noise. My left rear tyre burst. Don`t EVER buy this rubbish tyre!!!
Never Again!

I wanted a cheap set of tyres for my Skoda Octavia as it's my daily workhouse and I would say Durun tyres have never let me down.Little on hard compound but would say last long and it is pretty much puncture resistant.Excellent tyres
Duran tyre the best tyre for everyday use and I like this tyre due to its durability. It has been around 50000 km that I am using this tyre. This set of tyres has improved the mileage of my Car it’s a very good tyre with an excellent road grip.
Easily the worst tyre I have ever purchased. Done 10,000 km and already just about shot. In the wet on a slight uphill the tyres spin like crazy and I can only get traction when I lower the revs to almost stalling. They are dangerous and are a wasye of money because I will not get a year out of them. Rubbish and should not be on the market.
