To the guy above who loses grip when changing gear in VTEC in the wet ... wise up. If you have proper old-fashioned VTEC, that means you're presumably shifting up at over 5000 revs - on a wet road. Which means you're caning your car in the stupidest of ways.

You deserve everything you get if that's the way you drive. Don't expect budget tyres (or premium tyres for that matter) to save your life for you.

Ive been driving for 30 odd years & used all the top brands & can honestly say
these are just as good or even better , I cann't beleive some of the reviews by idiots on this website .
No grip , are a danger ......utter crap if people drove within the cars limit &
their own they could give a proper review .
At £60 each fully fitted they are a real bargin & i can fully recommend them
cheap doesn't always mean bad .
Had them on for just over 1,000 mls dry & wet & they are just fine.

Fitted these to my Jag s type on front, always used Pirelli Rosso P Zero except for a bad experience of Goodyear formula 1 . Didn't expect much from them as around £120 per tyre cheaper than Pirelli . Usually you get what you pay for but they are very good, I don't find them noisy they grip well and although early days yet they seem as good as any other tyre I have had.

Very noisy tyre! next to no feedback and they give no confidence in anything buy really dry conditions, Lose traction when changing gear in Vtec in the Dry :(

In the wet they lose traction when I hit Vtec and seriously struggle for grip when changing gear in Vtec!

tyres were put on by a dealer i purchased the car from and at first was a little upset that he ahd put cheap tyres on but have to say the first 1000 miles I have done in the car they have lots of grip both dry and wet and they have impressed me that they are very very quiet tyres. in the uk the are also branded evergreen tyres but getting them with the jinyu name (made by same company) saves you at least £25 a tyre or more fitted. my last tyres were bridgestone re50 and these cheap chinees tyres feel like they have way more grip than my ds3 sport with the bridgestones
