i-Link Tyres

I've just bought a 2014 Mini Cooper with these tyres. Was going to upgrade immediately to Michelin Primacy 4 but on inspection found them barely worn.
Have decided to keep them for the moment.
The Mini actually corners faster in the wet than any car I've owned in the dry except a Leon Cupra on Goodyear F1 Assymetrics that I love but aren't available for 15" wheels. I think though that this is in spite of the thres not because of them. What I don't like is that there is no feedback and the steering feels dead which takes away the Mini fun. I have no idea what the tyres are doing until the car starts to run wide.
I also find that I am all the time making small corrections to drive in a straight line.
Will upgrade to the Michelins soon but must first replace some Autogrips on the front of my wife's Ford Ka with Falken ZE310. Absurd that my 50+ year old Triumph Herald with 145/13 Falken SN832 has more grip in the wet.

I bought a second-hand car, and unforntely, it came with these dreadful tyres. I remember driving down country roads. As soon as I went to a slight bend in the road, the tyres felt vague, and before I knew it, there was a queue of about 20 cars I was holding people up. When it rained, it sounded like the doors were open. Perfect tyres if you live inside the M25 and never go over 20mph, otherwise don't bother and get something decent

I got a secondhand VW ID.3 with these tyres. Everything was OK before a first rainy day. No problems with driving just forward but any maneur I feel unsafe. It feels like I am very close to loose car control. This goes for turning, acceleration, changing line of a motorway.
I made a decision to swap these tyres before fall.

Been fitted for 6 months now and they’ve been fine. Decent grip in the wet and dry, not comparable to a premium summer tyre but more than adequate for general driving. They were better than expected when we had snow, got up some steep uncleared and ungritted hills without issue, were fine on the ice once the snow melted as well. Wear seems okay so far. The only minor bug bear is they are a little noisy but for the price I can live with that. I would definitely purchase these again.

First time I’ve tried a budget all season tyre and I’ve been impressed. Handled the January snow and ice without issue. Can’t comment on tread wear as haven’t had them long enough but outside of that they are a good value tyre.

Do not buy these they are unsafe. Bought a complete set of 4 in December 2024 as the weather was only going to get colder and never tried all season tyres before. Transformed my car, for the worse. I've often bought budget tyres, as for me, they're good enough to drive loads with the odd fast bit in good conditions. Never experienced poor wet grip with the choices I've made. However, that has all changed with these tyres. I covered 150 miles before removing them. Really light steering and when you take a bend they track a lot wider than summer tyres. The first dangerous problem I had was on a tight left turn where there was just a bit of morning dew on the road. The car understeered for a split second before snatching grip and that felt like it wanted to flick the back end out. I knew this bend and wanted to compare to my previous tyres. From that moment on I lost all confidence in the tyres. Even on dry sweeping country roads you feel like you're driving at their limit at normal safe speeds (below the national speed limit) forget any fun stuff. Everything is exaggerated in the wet and you wonder if they'll stop in a straight line quickly without locking up. I am shocked it's legal to sell tyres like this as they will contribute to accidents on the road. Anyway, enough waffle, just don't buy these.
Incidentally, they are made by the same group of tyre companies owned by the Zodo Group in China. These tyres also look identical to the Grenlander GreenWing AS tyre, which got a poor review when included in an All Season tyre review on youtube by Tyre Reviews. The reviewer said they were good in snow & on ice but poor in wet handling, braking and even dry handling. Watch the review as the visual reference of different braking distances is shocking and these iLink tyres felt the same as those GreenWing tyres.
