I had 4 Race 1 Plus tyres and Keskin alloys fitted to my BMW 335i. I have done roughly 5,000 miles so far and they still look like new. I only needed one wheel for my BMW as it had a crack (common fault) but the price for the 4 Syron tyres and Keskin wheels worked out cheaper in the long run than 1 original BMW rear wheel and a Bridgestone run flat tyre. I also had a set of Syron semi-slick tyres fitted to my Ford Fiesta which performs outstanding in the wet for a semi-slick .

nice tyre, as size 255/35/18 for my BMW rear wheels. it does look nice , grip is ok in dry/wet, not for sporty driving in heavy rain thought ( had lots of wheel spin) BUT BE AWARE IT IS HARD RUBBER, TOOK TWO GUYS AT GARAGE TO MOUNT IT ON 18" j9 WHEEL AND I GUESS HARD RUBBER IS CAUSE OF LOTS OF ROAD NOISE, SORT OF ROLLING NOISE, NOT SURE YET NEED TO CHECK BALANCING....
what a load of crap bought these tyres after reading reviews car just does not handle as it should back end is twitchy traction light coming on off as tyres have no grip going back to pirelli p zero even these with 1.6mm thread where better
Bought these as I have heard a few good words and by god they are right. I have Toyo proxes T1R on before these and i feel safer with them straight away! Done around 5000 miles and they have plenty of tread left. In the wet/damp they handle amazing and even better in the dry. Little bit wheel spin from a standing start but you'd expect that with a fast car. Aquaplaning is a thing of the past, no twitch or nippy bum time with these!
Bought these Tyres about 3 weeks ago now, was a little unsure due to owning an Evo 9 FQ340 remapped to over 400 horses as always used Eagle F1, Bridgestones or pirellis. But my god do these stack up, not only do the price considerably out match the others they handle Just as good if not better in some cases. ok track maybe not!!. but road use, not once yet have a twitched on cornering "remember Though i have ayc 4x4" but still they have done me proud and def buy again.
Best tyre i have had fitted to the sc430 amazing grip in dry and wet and very little road noise . these are not cheap tyres these are quality german tyres at a good price ... why spend double the price for a 'brand' name tyre when these are better
EDIT: I don't know if these tyres still exist, but I had a flashback to my experience over a decade ago and couldn't let my below review stand in good conscience. Once I had travelled around 1,000 miles on these tyres and experienced rainfall, they nearly killed me. I rounded a corner at a perfectly normal speed to find my traction control light flashing frantically; I suspected oil/diesel on the road, but as I continued to drive, I found the tyres had such terrible lateral grip that I pulled over to check tyre pressures (I remember the shock so vividly). It was only a few hundred miles later that I had to bin the tyres and replace them with Goodyear Asymmetrics, and I learned never to take a chance on unknown tyres (or trust reviews of new, unworn tyres) again - at best it costs you in insurance, at worst it costs your life!
Only trust reviews where the reviewer has put over 1,000 miles wear on the tyres, THEN driven in wet and cold weather. The BBC did an expose on cheap tyres failing miserably after they wore through 0.5-1.0mm of tread, no longer testing anywhere near as well as their official test performance.
Wow, excellent tyres! Replaced my Dunlop Sport SP01 run-flats at the back with these and they are amazing. Although I've only travelled around 500 miles on them the winter performance is outstanding. Not even a hint of wheel spin under maximum acceleration, even when it's -2. Accelerating off a roundabout or leaving a junction is also much better than the Dunlops.
The tyres to have a tendency to tramline although this can be almost eliminated with a few extra PSI. The extra wide tread pattern disperses water as if it wasn't even there.
Treadwear is an unknown at present, having only travelled 500 miles but even if they only last half as long as the Dunlops they were less than 1/3rd the price!
My advice is to try them at manufacturers recommended pressure and if the sidewalls move slightly on heavy cornering, or you feel the car following ruts in the road, add 2-3psi and try again.
Just fitted this tyre but grip, steering response, feed back etc are excellent. The tyre is particularly good for comfort and reduced road noise, compared with the previous tyres and eliminates the niggly ride common on this model without loosing the firm positive response.
