I had these tyres fitted on a second-hand car I recently purchased, and I must say they are the worst-performing tyres I’ve ever encountered. The overall feel is stiff and plastic-like. Given they’re budget eco tyres, I didn’t try push them beyond their intended performance range. That said, in dry conditions, they provide an acceptable level of grip, but the real trouble begins when the roads are wet. Using these tyres in wet & cold conditions is literally a safety risk.

In such conditions, even at low speeds, below the speed limit, it isn't hard to break the tyres' adhesion level to make them skid & slide. From a standstill, accelerating without any front load will have you struggling to get any form of decent grip. Trying to navigate a roundabout at ~30-35 km/h, with some weight transfer to the front axle via trail braking, causes significant understeer.

While I understand that my previous experiences are with touring/UHP category tyres like the Continental UC6, Michelin Primacy 3, PS3, & PS4, the performance gap with the Radial RP28 was shockingly huge. I don't expect them to perform anything even close to touring tyres, but I at least expect them to be safe. I am genuinely surprised tyres like these are still allowed on the market, considering their abysmal performance in the wet & complete lack of emergency handling capability.

Were on car (Suzuki Grand Vitara) when purchased. 5 years and 40,000km later I'm finally replacing them.
They're a budget tyre but if treated accordingly do the job. Probably 10,000km have been on unsealed roads. Have held up well considering.
No punctures. :)
Replacements are Goodride probably G118 to get the correct size.

Purchased a car with these fitted and it's downright unsafe. Horrible wet grip, loses traction just going around roundabouts. Dry driving is okay as long as your car has little to no power and would struggle to spin its wheels on take off. Would not recommend anyone buy these tyres, even as a last resort.

These were fitted by the used car dealer I bought from. I should have changed these the first time I had my abs activate when I thought I had braked reasonably. Two months later I ran up the back of another car and need a new bumper. The stopping distance in the wet, while using these, is far greater than you would reasonably expect. They don't grip off of the traffic lights in the dry, my tires spin with the bare mention of acceleration. About the only good thing is they have worn very little, so if you want to drive super conservatively everywhere, constantly worried if you will stay attached to the road, then these are very affordable. I'm stripping them off the car with plenty of Tred left.

I bought a second hand Ford Bantam pickup. It was fitted with brand new Goodride PR28 tyres. No complaints till the rainy season started. Handling is not so bad but when you brake the car just slides. First time it happened I thought there was oil on the road but when it happened for the third time I realized that it is the tyres. Just no grip when you brake. After sliding sideways into an intersection I decided to get other tyres. Only 5000 km on them but will not take chances. Will never buy goodride again.
