LOOKOUT...just to give you all a further update on these tyres with 1k on them. still FRIGHTENUNG at speed with no stability. the soft sidewalls are even more of a problem than i originally exoerienced. today i needed to lift off at speed and brake. on lift as the weight of the car tranferred to tge tyres the sidewalls just squelched leaving the balance and stability of the car all over the place. only just got it back. at legal motorway speeds this is not acceotable. i am going to keep you updated on these tyres so that some other poor soul doesnt put their family in danger.

Hold on guys there is a PROBLEM with these tyres...or at least on my heavy people carrier there is. You see grip is one thing but if a tyre has soft and compliant side walls then when applied with a force ie: going round corners or changing lane direction at speed on motorways, then what you end up with is a vehicle responds slowly to steering input, understeers and most alarmingly displays a lack of stability. Because of the elasticated effect of these sidewalls and the good grip on offer what happens is you move the car but the sidewall just gives and with the grip of the tread of the tyre the vehicle just doesnt know where to go and by the time it does its too late. Its a shame because in terms of price, grip and looks they are good BUT I need to know where my car is going the second I input to the steering wheel. I think thats a no brainer in tyre design!!

Given 80% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI 160 (245/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,500 spirited miles
Have now covered about 2500 miles on dry, damp & wet road surfaces, ranging from motorway to country lanes, & there is no discernible difference between these & the Bridgestone RE050 tyres fitted on the front of my Insignia previously. They are slightly stiffer due to XL rating and perhaps marginally noisier but otherwise hold the road just as well. No discernible signs of wear yet either, so would expect 25K miles from them compared to the Bridgestones 20K. I drive fast within limits & keep tyres inflated about 25% higher than car manufacturers recommended pressure to improve mpg (I average 46 mpg).

Put these on a rx8 to replace 2 potenza and 2 fallen. Can honestly say car handles better now than before. Gave it a good run in the wet and really tested the corners. No problems wet or dry.def buy again

Given 93% while driving a Alfa Romeo 159 (225/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
I recently had these tyres fitted to my Alfa Romeo 159 and have since driven over 1000 miles on motorways and country roads in both dry and wet conditions.

Typical tyres for this car cost around £140, the Evergreens were just £75 each. I have experience of tyres from many pretigious brands including: Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental, Pirelli. In my layman's opinion the Evergreen tyres are on a par with these well known named brands.

They are extremely quiet, they grip well in both wet and dry conditions, they give a comfortable ride. Don't be fooled by the low price, these are way better than similarly priced budget tyres, some are quite dangerous (Wanli for one!).

I have not had the tyres long enough to comment on wear or fuel economy.

Highly recommended.

Given 80% while driving a Audi A5 (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
A very good tyre. A lot of people are sceptical about these tyres as I was before I bought them. I bought a set of 4 on an Audi A5. They are very quiet & comfortable. A lot more quieter than the bridgestones that I had before which were very harsh. The Evergreens are a little squishy in the wet in my opinion, but they give very good dry grip. I haven't done many miles on them as yet (about 5k), but they look almost brand new still with no noticeable wear. This is a good tyre at a great price. I think there reputation will improve with time. I would recommend them and would buy them again.

Given 83% while driving a Saab Automobile 9 3 Aero HOT (215/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 6,000 spirited miles
3 months wear so far and a good buy. first 2 months of rain driving was excellent, 1 month of fast dry road, country,single,dual and motorway all performed impressive. needed 4, shopped around and kept getting 550-625 quotes for toyos ect. spoke to my dealer who supplies these and he showed me a vid of a transit connect screaming around the nurenburg wearing these. apparently the fastest lap of a standard tranny connect.an up and coming brand me thinks. i am impressed. i scream my saab aero coupe(maptun 350bhp upgrade)and am happy with my purchase.my opinion.
