These are the most dangerous tyres on the market. I purchased an Audi TT 3.2V6 Quattro and car lost the road so many times in the wet with these tyres; they shoudl be banned. Have now fitted Vredestein Ultac Sessanta an teh car is safe
awful tyres extremelu dangerous shouldn't be on the market. just bought vectra vxr with these on it 2 weeks ago. no road feel through steering even in dry conditions and an absolute liability in the wet, like driving on black ice. they just let go on corners with no warning at all. terrible road noise and sounds as though a wheel bearing is away. also won't stay balanced. i know they're cheap but please don't ever buy these if you value your life and your car.

Was a little dubious about buying these at first, as most other tyres in this size are over twice the price. They have certainly proved me wrong and I've since recommended them to alot of people. I drive a 1.9tdi Audi A4, and I've never managed to make them loose grip or traction. If you drive normally then these are an excellent tyre. Super grippy in the dry, slightly less so (understandably) in the wet, but by no means "dangerous" as some people are claiming (I imagine its actually your style of driving thats dangerous) Will deffinitly buy again, although no signs of any wear yet and I've been running them over 3 months.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Sunny SN3970? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
had these tyres for almost 2 years on my front wheel drive lowered Rover 618is with uprated suspension & brakes, I was very dubious about getting cheap chinese tyres at first but my fears were totally unfounded, I'm no boy racer, but, in the dry, I decided to push them to see if I could break traction on cornering. I hit our local roundabout on the dual carriageway (60mph legal limit) a little more than 55mph, & they stuck like the proverbial hot s*** to a blanket! in the wet, the grip is just a little less confidence inspiring as the back end started to drift out at about 48/50ish, on the motorway, ok, there is a bit of road noise, depending on the surface your on, but even at naughty speeds, the car felt secure, firm & planted to the road, all in all, I would have no hesitation in recommending these tyres to anyone who's looking for good, cheap, budget tyres
These are great tires for the price both on yet and dry roads,people who makes negative posts about these tires,it's because they never had them,I have them on my car and they do a great job for the small price you pay for them.
Fantastic for the price. Used to have award winning tires from Bridgestone, but decided to try the cheapest Chinese I could find on my BMW 330D. They make a bit more rumbling sound once passing 190km/h per hour on dry surface, and they feel a bit less confident after 230km/h (I drive in Germany - with no speed limits) - but I've yet to experience any sliding at high speed. Amazingly these summer tires work well on newly snow covered roads at 90km/h. Thick ice/hardpacked snow is bad uphill (no traction), but breaks/drives ok downhill. My Bridgestone Turanza ER300 was useless on snow, and like SN3970 they may slide a bit in sharp bends if raining during summer - but normal wet highway has given no problems. So far, I'm amazed. If you never drive 200km/h, these tires seem excellent - and considering the price, I'm even more amazed. You can find more reviews on tyretest.com for many different tires. Don't understand why media is so negative to Chinese tires, maybe I was lucky and good production set of my 4 wheels.
As the other review, so dangerous in the wet, will wheel spin with the smallest bit of power, when entering corners in the wet the car looses grip and the front end starts to slip (this is at sub 30mph speeds).
In the dry these tyres are great, I have not been able to get them to loose grip.
Due the the dangerous grip in the wet I suggest these tyres be took off sale altoghether, there have been a few times that could have been serious incidents if I didnt know how to control a slide!!
So so so so so dangerous on my BMW E46 330. the car feels like the back is out of control and swings like a pendilum in corners and creates oversteer even though they do not loosing grip. i have even had the common trailing arm bushes replaced on the back of the car as it is so bad and has made no difference so i borrowed my sisters rear wheels from her car - perfect! put my sunny 3970 back on - dangerous!
I am a senior technician working in a ford main dealer so these words are from experience and testing (without sounding big headded lol)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not buy for the rear of a BMW!!!! maybe ok on others but not these.
