Owners most often praise the Petlas Velox Sport PT741 for dry grip, with confident dry handling and value also recurring positives. Mid-life and end-of-life accounts frequently describe slow wear and useful service. Wet grip receives more praise than criticism, but several owners find it less reassuring than dry performance. Noise is mixed, with around one in eight reviews complaining despite more positive accounts. Roughly one in ten raises aquaplaning concerns, so the generally favourable grip reports should not be taken as universal confidence in standing water. Repeat reviews remain broadly positive but do not establish one consistent ageing pattern.

Purchase a new tire today on a rainy day (28 February 2023 replace my pilot sports 4 with no regret about this Petals tyres velox sport PT 741. Great drive on a rainy day with so much grip in any situation on road and breaking super good so far. travel only 28 km testing so far.
Its the third set of Petlas PT741 I bought.
First two sets ok acceptable with very good prices in Hong Kong.
However, the third set (bought in 2021) has merely over 10,000 km , and cracks appeared on inner sidewall of 4 tires . Contacted the local agent through the dealer, and showed them photos of the cracks ( from 2 to 4 inches long).
The local agent showed photos and details to the factory and they insisted that the cracks were results of under inflation.
I am a car guy who checks tire pressure on bi-monthly basis, and always and cold tire pressure roughly 10% above recommended PSI from car makers of all my cars.
Upon their reply , I immediately purchased another set , different brand and replaced the potential dangerous tires
No chance I would purchase this brand again

4 years old Petlas', which are used in 3 years, driven nearly 35000 km. have several cracks and severed. When changing, I also realized there is a 2 cm. crack at back side of tire. What you pay is what you get. Wishing never meet again.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Petlas Velox Sport PT741? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I bought 4 tires about a week ago for 300$, I could have spend less by buying cheap Chinese tires for 40$ or 50$ per tire, but I chose to give Petlas a try and I think that was a very good choice.
The handling on the road was great as I drove it with high speeds (around 140-160KM/H) and you could feel the grip of the tires like they're stuck on the ground. Money/Value wise is definitely good and I recommend you to give it a try.
I drive a RWD BMW 5-series with more than 200hp and was very skeptical of these budget tires but they had my size (265/35/18) while no other company had it in stock at the moment. I previous had Goodyear Assyms 3 and these somehow made the Goodyears feel bad? I don't know what Petlas did here but these tyres are amazing! They handle superbly (even if you don't consider the price), they are relatively quiet, decently comfortable, and give you a ton of road feedback. Actually how quiet they are is the thing that shocked me the most...
One noticable downside is that they aren't so great in the wet but you still have safe amounts of control over the car even in faster corners. Still, the tyres warmed up relatively fast meaning they were ready to go only after a few kilometers of driving!
I only drove them for 10 000 kilometers so far and there are 0 issues with the tyre structure and almost no wear. Overall, an almost perfect tyre and at that price? You should be insane not to buy these!
The tyres are good for the price. They have good grip, but not excelent, they're good on wet, but not excelent, and have average comfort. My main problem with them is the deformation of the tyres. Yes, deformation, at 120-130 km/h the steering wheel starts shaking like crazy and I didn't realize where it comes from untill i got new winter tyres. Yeah, i know the roads in my country are far from perfect, but the last tyres i got didn't have that problem and I drove them the same roads, the same style I drive these Pt741. And on the top of that they are XLs.In conclusion I can say it's good tyre if you want to go budget, but I can't compare it to a premium tyre.
Excellent tires for sportyer cars with more hp. Best buy.

First time fitted Petlas on my W204 C250 CD1 some 2 months ago. Done 3000km so far. Been driving on winding hills road, highway and dirt roads under wet and dry conditions. Overall I am very impressed with the handling and road noise is very acceptable. Comparing with my experience on Conti Sport Contact 3 and Pirelli P Zero for the past 8 years, I can testify it is on par with P Zero and out perform Conti Sport Contact 3. Tire durability too early to comment.
I needed to replace rear tires only as one of them had an internal cut. I always use Kumho ecsta UHP tires as I live in hot country (Egypt). I wanted to use something economical and also available in Egypt. As I didn't find a Kumho set, then I went for Petlas after I read a lot of positive reviews here. Unfortunately, the dry grip of this tire is way below average. You don't want to try sharp cornering, or try to pass a car with a kick down, you will lose handling and the tires will lose traction with the road.
I only used those tires for 3000Km, and I am going to throw them away and buy a new set of Michelin PS4.
Please note that my previous tires set was Kumho PS91 which is not the best, but was much better than Petlas. Not going to buy again for sure.
