Jinyu Gallopro YH18

We have a Honda Jazz, not the sportiest vehicle on the market by some margin. These tyres were recommended as a good relative budget option by a local reputable vendor. They do what they say on the tin. Reasonable price, reasonable performance. A bit noisy for my liking and they have not lasted as well as I might have expected. Worn heavily on outside edges despite tracking being good when tested. Probably got just a couple of years out of then (c. 16000 miles). Have not had any major issues in the dry and they perform OK in the wet. Pretty good braking in dry conditions and OK if your braking sensibly in the wet. Slide a bit if having to brake hard in the wet. I would not recommend for a higher end vehicle driven fast and furious but as a tyre for a day to day run around they are fine.

They came on my car as a set of 4 brand new, and whilst they are okay as long as you don’t like to drive fast or have any sort of fun. Today in the wet I understeered so much and I nearly crashed my car and was aqua planing at every single drop of water. They are definitely good if you want cheap economical tyres and you have no desire at all to go fast or even slightly push it in the wet.

These tyres came on all four corners of the car when bought. The Nissan Note E11 is not known for it ability to transmit what is going on the ground to the steering wheel of the driver, unfortunately these tyres generally did not help in unless pushed in the dry. In dry conditions these tyres have excellent grip when braking in a straight line, but when trying to push out of corners the limit can soon be found. In wet conditions the straight line braking is excellent, but handling can be compared to what can be only imagined as steering a hovercraft. Spirited driving in the rain is only advisable for those who are bored of life. The wear rate is great on these tyres but the road noise is a little high for my liking; they offer very average comfort. These tyres are only great is your looking for value for money.

As others have said... Decent budget tyre and decent cornering... Until it rains or damp roads... Even at sensible speeds it's like driving on ice. I had 4 new on when I purchased the car. These tyres never complain in the dry.. Good handling and traction. But if the heavens open I recommend parking the car up... I'm looking to change ASAP.

Tyre's are alright if you are a slow and steady driver, not great if you like hooning it around. Wet grip is garbage, Aquaplaning everywhere at the slightest puddle, under steering round roundabouts and corners at anything more than 30 in the wet. In the dry, they are actually pretty decent although the cars steering and front end does feel a bit vague. Not managed to get them to loose traction in the dry yet, road noise is pretty good and the tread seems to be lasting! Braking performance is actually very good in the wet and dry so that is a bonus! Overall if you are a slow and steady driver (or never drive in the rain) id recommend this tyre.

Can't believe how well they've lasted. I've had them on for over 27,000 miles and still plenty of life left in them

These came as part of a value choice at a well known online tyre retailers. I went for these because they were cheap and had a reasonable rating, but I found I really had to take it easy on wet roundabouts or corners. Felt like there was no safety margin with these and one wrong move and it was all over.

I have the latest version of these tyres the YH18 but there is no category for these at the moment. Didn't know how to rate these tyres on a 1-10 basis so left all categories as NA. I've had them fitted to the rear of my car for just over a year now and have had no problems with them. Don't know what else to say really they are just tyres and keep the car rolling on the ground.
