Sunitrac Focus 4000

Cheapest at Formula 1 autocentres for use on my 2005 vauxhall combo 1.3cdti 1700 van so are '175/70/14 T88 XL' heavy duty. Absolutely no problems with wet or dry grip and done over 37,000mls so far and still with plenty left in them only worn when tracking goes out on front end. A bit noisey at speed but for only £40 per tyre fitted, very good value.

I bought my BMW M3 Evo from the previous owner with 2 of these on the rear and they were absolutely hilarious. I didn't expect much performance from them and the M3 had way too much power for them. In the dry they brake traction at the top of the rev range in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd. In the wet they would brake away in 4th at 3,000. Add even the slightest amount of steering lock to those scenarios and the effect is exaggerated. I've had about 5,000 miles out of them and they didn't wear particularly well but then that might be expected given they left black lines at every roundabout!
Super cheap tyres, but absolutely not appropriate for any car over about 100hp RWD. I think part of me will still miss them though!

For £30 each i didnt expect the world but these are not too bad. Good around town but do get noisy on the Motorways. Fuel consumption is up by around 5mpg. Seem to grip well in dry and wet, did well in the snow over the winter too. Heavy braking could catch these out so i tend to take it easier on these than the previous Klebers. Overall, well their not Michelins or Conti's so they have their shortfalls but for around town on a small-ish car, they're fine and will keep you out of trouble well enough.
