I needed an emergency change due to one of my 60% worn tyres suddenly going dead flat on a busy highway. Rolled into a side street to luckily find a tyre place there! Told them was in a rush and needed a quick fix - too damaged for repairs as I had driven on the flat, they suggested the 'cheap' Brand option. $179AU each. Told them to chuck them on.
As I left, roads were dry - I pushed a little around corners (just turning a little bit harder than normal every day driving) - I found no noticeable concern.
WET SURFACE: On my way back home it was pouring - and that's where the concern lies - these tyres do not drive through shallow but stagnant water well, at all. At the Australian freeway speed limit of 100kph, these fronts were not safe. The car would suddenly drop about 5 to 10kph hitting those little puddles! I had to vary my speed down to 70 / 80kph if I noticed these puddles ahead...
This cheap option was Ok for that emergency from a small shop yesterday, but for wet safety reasons, I wouldn't venture for that brand again.
I have to say though, when there were NO PUDDLES, wet cornering was quite stable even when pushing a little by sharp turning those right angled street corners... but I wouldn't want to test a sweeping corner at 100kph in the wet.
