I drove this tyre a bit faster yesterday, with 2.9Bar of pressure in it. Tyre is 6 years old. At some point I was doing 90 to 100 (150Km/h) And the car just started vibrating heavily. One of the rear tyres seemed to have lost its form. I never had this before in my life. Never again will I buy this tyre.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
I replaced all the four original Pirelli Scorpion Verde MOE Run Flat tyres (255/45R20) tyres on my Mercedes Benz GLC250d (year 2018 model) in October 2021 with only 27000 kilometres clocked with four Kingforest KF550 tyres and now the two front Kingforest tyres had to be replaced, at 47110 kilometres. All the other areas of the Kingforest tyres are good except tyre wear: having to be replaced after less than two years and just 2000 kilometres.
A tyre that I never will make the mistake and purchase again. It were not as cheap as the grip suggest. my suggestion to everyone interested in these tyres there are outer manufakturs that are cheaper and a much better buy.
Since Ive shifted from R17 to R18 on Toyota Vios Gen3 modified, my Kinforest Tyres prove dependable in tight corners on wavy concrete roads. Id been averaging 4,000 kms drive per month mostly highway sprints. I love the riad grip. By far, my favorite tyres until other tryres will surpass the quality.
I bought these tires for my X5 4.8is because the old tires were worn and there was a bulge. I didn’t splurge on premium tires because my intial intention was to flip the car and make money.
Long story short, I ended keeping the car and stuck to the tires. About 25,000km, these tires were well worn to the legal limit. It performed well in the dry. Perform almost as well as a premium tires in dry but dangerous in the wet. The noise level was a little noisy but not too bad. The wet weather performance was apalling and disappointed in the tread life.
I would not recommend this tires and would not buy again. There were quite expensive in the first place. I would instead try a different tires
The worse tires ever can buy.
Rather drive on the rims. Atleast u know ur driving on rims. Not hope u have a good tire and learn the hard way they suck and will leave u stranded.
