Fullrun HP199 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 79 reviews

Road noise and weak wet grip dominate owner criticism of the Fullrun HP199, with 59 of 79 reviews negative. Noise is criticised in roughly four in ten reviews and wet grip in around one third, including accounts of wheelspin and sliding on wet bends. Dry grip is divided rather than a clear strength, and a smaller group finds the ride harsh. Tread life is the main positive, supported by several longer-use accounts, although some drivers replace the tyre with tread remaining because of noise or grip concerns. Most repeat reviewers remain dissatisfied, while one remains positive across several accounts, so there is no uniform ageing pattern. Reports of noise increasing with use are individual experiences rather than a fixed mileage trend.

Excessively noisy. I thought there was a bearing failure initially in the wheels and then the diff.

Absolutly no way would i buy these tyres, bought an audi A4 Quattro with these tyres already fitted, In the wet this car goes over roundabouts, oversteers like a bitch. Need to change and they are no where near the limit, only about half worn. Road noise is excessive aswell. Do not buy these unless you drive like Miss Daisy!!

They should call these the Fullrun Ditchfinders !!

Found them fitted to some alloys i bought 225/40/18

I havent found the ditch yet but i've been close. They squeal like a pig in the dry and they understeer like b!tc# in the wet.

DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES. It is just not worth it. Spend your money on a decent set of boots and stay alive to enjoy life.

The dry grip is surprisingly good, through the lanes the car handles well although there is a lot of tyre squeal.

Wet grip is pretty bad and can be dangerous but for everyday use they are absolutely fine.

Being a budget tyre its not a bad buy!

These have to be the worst tyres I have ever owned. They came fitted on teh car whn I bought it. In the wet they are dangerous finding it hard to even accelerate in a straight line with out the back end coming round. In the dry they squeal and let go alot earlier than they should but no where near as dangerous as the wet. AVOID!
