Driver feedback on the Winrun R330 is mixed, with many praising its very strong value for money and acceptable-to-good dry-road manners for everyday commuting. However, a sizable portion of users report very poor wet-weather traction (easy sliding/understeer/aquaplaning) and quicker-than-expected wear, which undermines confidence despite the low purchase price. Some owners also mention vibration/balancing or out-of-round issues that can spoil ride quality.

I sourced these tyres for my younger sister. She drives a Hyundai 130 hatchback 2015 model which she bought brand new but had not changed the Hankook tyres since then and has the car serviced annually. She does not drive the car hard, had 45K on the clock and her tyres had not reached their markers yet but were getting close. She wanted to get new tyres because she felt her tyres were getting hard and brittle and had gone past the six years life span and were now 8 years old. She wanted new tyres but was shocked by how expensive tyres were and equivalent to the brand she had on her car when she bought it. I took her to my Tyrebarn dealer and we chose four fitted and balanced Winrun 330 tyres, including a $60 wheel alignment- total cost was $420. Best other offer she got elsewhere was a mid-range brand similarly fitted for $600. Hankook, Dunlop, Goodyear even more, let alone other 'name' brands. She is very happy with them and says they are quiet, grip well in both wet and dry conditions and maintain the road well. She has no issues with them. This was in 2023. I intend getting Winruns for my 2017 Kia Rondo next year as well. The tyre reviews I have read say these tyres are excellent tyres for the price you pay and perform well.
If you are into aqua planing, tail sliding and having your family car unsafe then these are the tires for you!! Wet grip is horrible and found myself whilst driving like a granny still losing grip and sliding at roundabouts, don't even bother cornering in the wet!. I have these on 255/35/18 on the rear and 225/40/18 in the front, my worn out Pzero's handled better and regret the day I purchased them, I guess you get what you pay for. Tires have bad longevity as I have had them for 6 months and the fronts are worn by about 9mm, under no circumstances purchase these tyres.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Winrun R330? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I've gotten these tyres a few weeks ago. I previously had Sailun touring LS tyres. These handle better, much better grip and definitely much better ride. I would use these over the touring LS any day. I believe the Atrezzo elite was a close competitor. Some may say the atrezzo elite was better, but I don't share the same view.
I have never felt more unsafe - bought two run flats for rear to match final cycle for front. I have had four sets on back for one set on front. Back end of car feels loose like on ice or mud, roundabouts in wet are frightening. Car is well maintained, runs and steers in a straight line, though I will get alignment checked in a day or two. The old worn out Potenzas fell far more tight and safe than these cheap, rubbish tyres from PRC. You get what you pay for and back to Potenza for me. My Wincrap tyres are about three months old, have done about 10k, and I’ll happily see them gone.
Hi. I’m running 245/45/18 xl on my Holden be sv6. Best tyres I ever bought and they are a good price the grip in the wet and dry is awesome sticks to the corners like glue I find very little road noise from then and car handles awesome would buy them again anytime best tyres I bought
I was quite surprised as never heard of this Tyre brand before, I used the Toyo brand before this and must say the Winrun Tyre are pretty impressive, especially the price
Audi Q7 2009 22000 klms so far on these winruns fitted 9-19 has had 2 rotation allign and balance check tyre pressure monthly they won’t last another 5000 klms + they have big chips missing everywhere very poor build previously got 36000 klms from Bridgestones and 32000 klms from Michelins on this car
Vibration city. 3 x wheel balances to all tyres could not salvage. Hands went numb holding steering wheel. Winrun sales rep said no problem with tyres. Is that because they are supposed to rattle the car? I thought my 200 series landcruiser could handle most conditions. Winrun proved me wrong.......
Better than expected!
I was in the market for used tyres as an emergency buy but the opportunity arised for these brandnew WinRun.
First 500Km i was a bit scared of what might happen since i tend to drive fast, curb faster and 99% of my daily driving is done on secondary roads with poor or dirty asphalt. Sometimes gravel, maybe on a weekly basis.
Right from the beginning i was surprised at how well they behaved while curbing, not only because of the great grip but the most surprising aspect was how robust the sidewalls are. They don't flex at all and the car behaves splendidly.
In the wet, since reviews were poor for this tyre i was a bit concerned but having them installed in December 2020 i still had time for a few weeks of below freezing temps and road ice. And of course, lots of rain!
They behaved quite splendidly and i'm not giving them a 10 for "Wet Grip" simply because i'm afraid someone will crash because of my positive review.
Î drive a 4 wheel drive car, symmetrical and i'm sure that makes a difference in the wet but i've had Bridgestones before and they were not even closely as good as the WinRuns.
Strange? Yeah, for me too.
They're now just above 3000 Km and are still behaving as they were when new.
Wear seems to be stable, i have them a bit over-inflated but the only thing i would complain is that they're noisy.
Anyway, not much of a problem for me because i drive listening to the car and the road. Radio is aalways off.
Great tyres!
Would love to try Pirellis and will do so if i can afford them when the time comes.
If not, it'll be WinRun all over again.
