Just had them fitted to the front. Quite surprise, it performs very well, and seemed to make the wheels lighter, Very comfortable however the side walls are very soft. I put extra 2psi over the factory recommended pressure, and it runs better.
Waiting for the rain so I can try the tyres in the wet. So far I am happy with them.
Wow - really cheap tyres with no issues - the EU rating is pretty much spot on for these with a B for wet grip. Had a set of Event tyres on this car which were unbelievably poor and dangerous in the wet - I'm amazed they are still on sale. These Jinyu are cheap as chips but light years ahead of the Event's. They even look great - non of that squashed out side wall profile and naff tread patterns you get on other cheap tyres like Nankang and Tigar. Can't really comment on wear rate yet - hence my caution with that score. Tremendous value - four tyres fitted for £180.00 - there is really not much more I can say but would recommend if like me you can't afford the likes of Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT or Goodyear Eagle F1.

I was recommended these tyres by my local garage. They said it was not worth putting expensive tyres on my car bright green car. I have to say that during my daily commute averaging 20mph I cannot tell the difference and I always fill up with £20 so that hasnt changed.
These tyres have my personal seal of approval. Best of all they are completely vegetarian!
Rear tyres on my Alfa were worn unevenly when I bought the car, as I couldn't find anything wrong I suspect they may have been swapped from the front as it had new front tyres. When the rears needed replacing I decided to put a new set of cheap tyres on, to see how they wear & wasn't expecting much from them.
Pleasant surprise, did 500 dry miles in the first week & then traveled 600 miles to the far North of Scotland in absolute torrential rain & high winds all the way. Didn't put a foot wrong no loss of grip in curves & roundabouts no tramlining on the motorway a little more noise than the Continentals they replaced. MPG slightly better which surprised me as I suspect they are a softer compound.
Cant comment on the wear rate as fairly new still. All in all very satisfied & may try them on the front when needed. At £50 fitted a good buy.
215 50/17 XL tyres on citroen grand Picasso. Purchased 3 weeks ago and covered about 300 miles. excellent tyre so far. good both in wet and dry conditions. don,t know how long they will last, however, still very impressed. will buy again when needed. Dman
When i drove with goodyear tyres and then left on front side blew up and then went to tyre for new one and havent heard about jiynyu tyre but it cost less and seem good to drive as it smooth without shake if drive fast.. goodyear tyre was new last march but that didnt took very long as it blew up when i drove normal speed.. seem something wrong with goodyear so new one seem nice one at good price
Bought these to replace pirelli P6000 and Autoguard SA80 tyres. At only £60 fitted and balanced each they were a budget choice but I'm really happy with them. They perform way better than the Autoguard and are on par with the pirelli tyres in both wet and dry conditions. Even though they are E rated for fuel efficiency I'm still managing 47mpg in town and 49+mpg on long runs.
I've had these on since 04/04/2014 but would buy them again, I'm even going to have them fitted to the wife's car when the time comes. This I think says a lot about my confidence in these tyres.
Those that say these are no good must drive like lunatics, drive normally and within the speed limits and these tyres are great. Why pay £150-£200 per tyre for my car ( big brands) when these perform just as good ?
Forty years of driving performance cars.put these on my jaguar s type sport 18inch rims. These tyres are excellent in all conditions streets ahead of many big brands.
These tyres were a control tyre for street car time trials so i figured they would not be to bad. I fitted them to my Falcon that has a 342ci stroker, 380hp and 500nm of torque. Dry grip is pretty good, flexi side wall though. Wet grip for my car is pretty rubbish, i give the pedal 5% and im spinning the wheels. Have not had them long enough to tell if they last or not. Very quiet and comfortable. The Sonnys i had before this were better though....
Great tyre, I blew an Pirelli PZero Rosso and could not find it, so I took a gamble
And bought these tyre, a month later another pirelli blew so I bought the complete
Set... Tjey amazed me they had better grip than the pirelli and way more
Cheaper.They are an incredible affordable all season tyre. A nice surprise.
For the reviewers who call these "crap" do not know what they are talking about -- in my 50 years of motoring I always opted for Good Year or Michelin or one of the top marks -- well as for the JinyuYU61 they are made by the same company as the Evergreen tyres -- the quality is every bit as good on appearance as Michelin -- they look as good as any Premium brand.
As for performance on my VW Tiguan they are very quiet, good grip in both wet and dry -- so far I have done 2000 miles and I will predict they will do some 30,000 plus miles -- one very delighted customer -- highly recommended tyres and will certainly buy them again. Price for 4 tyres fitted was £278
