Bought a new daily driver and some fool fitted these death-trap rubber bands. Changed for RE003s. A night and day difference.
What a waste of rubber.

Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tyres link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.
The newest arrival in the range is the Jinyu S1 Suv Sport. 2 tyres have joined in the last two years:
| Tyre | Season | On the market since | TR Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jinyu S1 Suv Sport | Summer | 2025 | not yet scored |
| Jinyu C1 Comfort | Summer | 2025 | not yet scored |
New tyres take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.
Across 161 owner reviews and 969,594 miles of driving, Jinyu tyres average 70% overall. The scores below show where owners rate the brand strongest.
Question averages are weighted by review count across every tyre of the brand. Snow and ice scores come only from the drivers of the brand's winter-capable tyres.
The complete record, including discontinued tyres and tyres with too little evidence to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. The most researched this month: Jinyu YU63, Jinyu YH12, Jinyu YU61.

Review your tyres and help the next driver choose. It takes about five minutes, and every rating on this page came from a driver who took them.
Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
