I put these tyres on my wifes Urban Cruiser for the second time now. They wear really well and they are really good value for money.

Mercedes c class amg 4matic. Got 2 of these fitted on the front just to get me through MOT about 1yr ago. Not done much miles but looks like they have worn down a bit already. Terrible in the wet for sliding I actually thought I had a problem with the car its that bad. Would never buy these again!

Absolute trash, wouldn't tie a boat up against them, even Nankang tyres are better. Very low traction in the dry, strangely marginally better in the wet, and they are noisy, making a whining noise on my car that made me think a wheel bearing was on its way out. Bought a temporary/cheap set of the same wheels with Pirelli P-Zero Nero, with 5mm tread. Put them on, 100 times better.....still not up to Michelin PS4/5 grip levels and handling....they might cost the earth but they're worth it. Continentals might be another option....
Off to the tyre shop for some very expensive Michelin's possibly??

Absolutely shocking tyre. Fitted two on the rear of my car, and they have left the ride feeling extremely unstable and I find myself continually making 'steering corrections' to compensate. Such poor quality and they were by no means the cheapest tyre. Had enough now after 4 weeks - need replaced.

I have had 3 tyre blow outs in the past 3 months, all of them have been Summer Star Tyres. This most recent one was yesterday on the above mentioned tyre. I had no complaints about these tyres up until their sudden and catastrophic failure.
The first two that blow out were on my trailer. They failed within a few hundred km's of each other. Both were shredded so it was impossible to determine the cause of the failures. The one yesterday has a gash across the tread face.
I cannot know for sure if the cause of the failures are related, but I start getting paranoid when 3 of the same brand tyres fail in such close succession.
The tyres on the trailer were relatively new with very good tread. They were not over inflated and were not carrying anywhere close to their load capacity.
The tyre on the Kombi was more worn, but not down to the wear warning indicators. They were inflated to the VW specification and the vehicle was empty.

Loud Loud Loud. 245/45-18 on the front of a Vx Insignia. For get it, these are the worst thing to ever happen to me. Long drives on the Motorways/Autobahns leaves you feel tense and deffended. They work if:- you have a tight budget and need to pass an MOT and this is the only thing your local garage has in stock. I will not buy again nor can I recommend.

Its a terrible tyre but its cheap. The tyre overall has poor feedback, sub standard grip in the dry and poor grip in the wet. There is sufficient squeaking to alert you when your near the limit but I haven't pushed it much further. When the tyre is under load you will feel the sidewall deform and squidge. It wears incredibly poorly and has lasted me 9,000 miles of mostly motorway and b road driving. The tyre is soft, comfortable and quiet on the motorway. I thank the previous dealer for fitting such poor tyres and making me appreciate quality tyres.

These tyres are fitted on my Toyota Aygo 2009 model in the 165/55/14 size on steel rims. I will replace them with better eco tyres (maybe allseason tyres) when they are done.

Grips pretty ok in the dry (pretty soft sidewall), but is terrible in the wet. Wheelspin off the line in wet conditions and prone to aquaplaning. So lowering speed and better anticipation is the best way to counteract this.

Fairly loud regarding road noise, but the Aygo is also badly insulated, so therefore a 6 instead of a 5 regarding score. Will not recommend except if you are on a very tight budget. But then it would probably be better to buy second hand A-grade tyres then these.

Needed them to get through the MOT, couldn't afford the Conti's they replaced. Don't handle quite so well as the Conti's, however they are just as comfortable and quiet and have lasted longer.
