Honeslty the amount of people complaining about these tyres arent pushing the tyres hard enough i have a set on my bf ford falcon wagon i have no issues wet or dry they are a fun tyre to slide on of you know how to drive a rwd car properly comfortable tyre to drive alil bit of noise but turn the radio up and drive ive been hammering these tyres and honeslty no issues wet or dry in australia they even smoke up well in the dry been over 170kph multiple times an dont miss a beat grip really well
Horrendous tyres. In the wet they are just purely dangerous, huge amounts of understeer, very poor stopping distances and a feeling of complete lack of control. In the dry, when pushed even slightly they squeal, grip, again is poor. These tyres came fitted to a used car, and though nearly new, I was quick to get rid of them in favour of Falken FK510’s.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Triangle TR968? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Never used the phrase ditchfinders before; however, if there is a tyre worthy of the title these are it. I drive a Mondeo ST220 estate and these tyres came with a set of Focus RS 19s I got on eBay. I've had the tyres on the car for a while now and I cannot stress how bad they are, the only reason they are still on is because I rarely drive the car and virtually never in the wet as it's a second/project car.
Dry grip, very poor, the car just wants to understeer and if I go near the throttle setting off I get tyre squeal.
Wet grip, what wet grip? These tyres are outright dangerous in the wet, they don't aquaplane too much, but again even with 220bhp I can spin the wheels up in third and it's a long geared car. The car just meanders about as it feels. I've driven with bald tyres that have better wet grip than these things.
On the plus side they have lasted alright (if you can see it as a plus side), as I was hoping they'd wear quicker so I would have an excuse to get them off my car faster.
The car is in for a load of suspension work next week so will be getting these off the car ASAP after that! I'm looking for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. No matter how cheap these things are they aren't worth it, even if you get offered a set for free, decline the offer they are that bad!
Got these on the back on my a5 3.0tdi, in the dry there pretty capable tyres but in the damp/cold/wet these tyres are completely unpredictable, one second will grip next will slide likenur on ice, seriously unsafe in uk cos our weather
These tyres still have loads of grio maybe 5 or 6mm,were on car when i bought it in october
Bought it in the dry, didn't 'push' it though (if only I had!!!). In the wet it was shocking - looked at the tyres - Triangle! (Had never heard of them).
Concluded that an XF-S should be much more predictable, so got a set of Pirellis, car transformed, wet/dry/noise/comfort.
£800 well spent on the Pirellis. Who on earth would put that rubbish on a fast Jaguar? Beyond belief!

Rubbish, the poor old Picasso with handling like a boat at the best of times, didn't like these Chinese wonder tyres. Thrown away and replaced with Michelins. A move that could add years to your life expectancy. they were only fitted to the back mercifully. On Citroens the back usually tries to follow the front, since 1934!
Bought a used XFS low mileage etc drove home 100miles in the dry with a droning noise thought it maybe a wheel bearing when I got home checked tyres. Triangle - never heard of them. Day later it was raining (UK normal) 1st roundabout I get to suddenly I'm sideways only fast reactions saved the day. Just ordered a new set of Goodyear f1 Eagles anyone want a set of nearly new Triangles free. Oh sorry, I've thrown them away. At least I've saved someone's life.

in the wet these tires are like driving on ice, average in the dry
Only had them for a couple months, (Triangle tyres from China) but regret buying them, very noisy on the highway, am thinking of getting a whole new set of tyres...only good thing was the price, but regret didn't but another brand, guess you get what you pay for. they are on my wife's car, and she has often mentioned the noise factor.. .
I know a lot of people don't rate them but I found them an excellent choice on the front of my Toyota 1996 MR2. Being mid engine they suit the light front end of my car and has the added bonus of having a built in rim protector that most budget tyre don't have.
Unfortunate I now need a replacement due to a puncture rather then wear(4.5mm left after 10k).
