    Given 35% while driving a Hyundai Tucson (215/65 R16) on a combination of roads for 450 average miles
    Four of these tyres were fitted to my Tucson by the previous owner just prior to me purchasing the car. Initially I was pleased that the car came with vitually new tyres. However it soon became clear that HIFLY HF201 tyres have some severe limitations when it comes to basic roadholding and build quality. In short, THESE TYRES ARE DANGEROUS.

    The first thing I noticed was the large number of balance weights that had been used on each wheel. This led me to take a close look at the tyres and I immediately noticed a variation in tread depth across the width of the tyres, it varied from 8mm to 4.5mm on all tyres (hence the need for all those balance weights). I used to work for Michelin (Stoke-on-Trent) so I understand how tyres are made, but I can't figure out how the folks at HIFLY have managed to do this. Maybe their vulcanising moulds are just poorly manufactured or unevenly heated. The side walls had a few lumps, nothing too serious but I was suprised to see this on virtually new tyres.

    The second thing I noticed was the general poor handling of the car and severe lack of grip on dry roads. Lots of low speed tyre squeal and unintentional wheel spins at junctions. This led me to check the tyre pressures but they were found to be fine (30 psi each). I don't drive like a maniac but I do expect tyres to at least perform to a reasonable standard. Wet roads proved to be even more of a challenge with the final straw being a 180 degree spin at around 25mph on a rounabout near Edinburgh.
    Changed all four of the HIFLYs for Uniroyal Rallye4x4 street tyres and the car was immediately transformed into an enjoyable and safe ride.
    The lesson here is that you get what you pay for, or in my case you get what the previous owner paid for.
    There may well be good tyres out there at the cheaper end of the market but I'm affraid the HIFLY HF201 is NOT one of them.

    The work amazing on the front axle of a pickup truck when compared to commercial rated tyres with hard compounds. They won't last, but if you drive a bad vehicle without ABS it's worth the low tread life.

    Given 26% while driving a Toyota Corolla (175/70 R14) on mostly town for 700 average miles
    Worst tires ever. My mechanic put a pair of these on my car only a few months ago, and they are already in an unwarrantable state after only 1100km (no, I didn't miss a zero there). This is a fraction of what you should get out of even cheaper tyres. After reading numerous reviews of these tyres I now understand why the car has felt less stable when driving, it's like driving on tyres made from jelly. DO NOT BUY - THEY ARE DANGEROUS!

    An absolute waste of money! Do NOT Buy this tyew if you value your family's safety and wish to reach your destination. Absolutely no aftersales support in South Africa. Its pushed by the big tyre dealers as a budget tyre but they can't help when there's an issue. Rather spend more and buy a better or reputable tyre and not risk "tyre separation." Kiran

    Worst purchase ever !!! I bought 4 tires for my Challenger and I drive a lot ! Long trips usually and they were almost undrivable. After 2 months ! One got ripped and I went and got the warranty I had and the new one had same issue. The car vibrates . Worst tire I bought ! Don’t buy it !

    For the love of God don't. So little grip , wheel spin at low speed even with ESP , Honda v6, vibration even after balance, dry grip you can feel the car wandering on the road, wry grip dangerous and scary ,only had on for 1 week took back to retailers, upgraded to continental. Old Goodyear tyres when due for replacement had more grip ! They were down to 2mm. Feedback to the driver gives you no confidence on the road, u predictable.

    Stay clear of this brand. Bought 4 of these tyres for my car and learnt a costly mistake. Tyres were out of shape and they also ran out laterally which caused the car to shake terribly at 100kmh.

    I didn't actually choose these tyres they were fitted prior to me picking up the car A6 3.0 quattro They are shocking i had the balance checked they were so bad. The car actually vibrates. They are useless under anything but mild driving. Definitely designed for low powered light cars. Took them off fitted pirelli. Totally different car now. Leave them alone the pirelli were only £50 dearer a pair

    These would have to be the worst tyre I have ever had. The road noise and vibration is like driving on off road 4 wheel drive tyres. Even had to check wheel bearings to see the noise wasn't coming from them. Put on a set of half worn tyres from a friends car and the problems dissapeared straight away. Put my wheels on his car and it had the same issue. I don't know how people can sell these and tell you they are a good tyre and great value for money. Should be a crime to sell them. Tyre shop didn't want to know about them . They have done approx 4,000 Kim's and will never get to do anymore on my car . Avoid them like the plague
