Felt I had to add a review to counter the positive reports from others. My car came with continentals on the front and sunitrac on the back. This combination was frankly dangerous as the continentals outclassed the sunitracs by so much that on wet roads I had more than one occasion of the back spinning out when lifting off the throttle - on one occasion only at carpark speeds! I have now replaced the sunitracs for a safer tyre as they were a ticking time bomb for a crash. Maybe they are fine if all 4 tyres are equally bad, but I would still steer clear.

Purchased BMWX5 twin turbo car with Sunitrak 9000 tyres and found them to be excellent all round tyres, all of this bulls hit about Chinese tyres is utter nonsense they perform brilliantly I can only assume large Name tyre manufacturers are spreading bad reviews are purely trying to retain their stranglehold on the uk and us markets. Will certainly buy again.

The Sunitrac Focus 9000 was recommended by a good friend who owns a tyre outlet company.
I had never heard of these tyres before. I have always driven on Bridgestone, Dunlop, or the well-known brands so was a bit reluctant to try these tyres after some reassuring invested in Sunitrac Focus 9000.
After a month fell into a pothole and damaged tyre, when i went to purchase a new tyre was told they had stopped stocking them Drove the tyres around town and some motorway driving, I noticed the tyre handled well on dry roads, in the wet good traction impressive.
What i didn't like was the noise i started to experience on the roads around town, and worse on the motorway. It got so bad i had the car checked thoroughly exhaust, bearings etc everything checked out good, decided it had to be the tyres.
Not a bad tyre for the price but i wouldn't invest in them again the noise was too much.

These tyres were new on my kuga when purchased 4 years ago at 38000miles now at 58000 miles. I use the car for day to day driving including holidays in this country and europe .At its last service by Ford garage the tyres all measured 4 mil. depth. 20000 miles on tyres costing around £70 quid cant be bad. The tread has worn evenly on all 4 tyres
and there is no evidence of cracking.

I purchased a new set of alloy wheels that came with these tyres on, they have done a little over 10,000 miles and are not even half worn, the front two tyres are suffering from side wall failure on the inside, both are identical by developing slits in the tyre wall on the inside only, I would like to return these to the manufacturer so they are made aware of the fault but I don't have any contact number with which to contact them. Anyone who does have information can contact me via email, [email protected]

I have had these on my Land Rover Discovery for nearly four years and thought they were great tyres. I am looking to replace with the same tyres as I replaced my Pirelli Scorpion Zeros all four after 18 months, twice when the car was new and an independent garage advised these if I wasn't into brands which for tyres I am not. I thought they were great.
