This tyre is difficult to judge on comfort as I ran lowering springs, but I wouldn't say they were in comfortable. When I first purchased some alloy wheels, a had 4 different tyres, tread depths you name it. They were poor. Footing a set of proxes t1r's literally transformed the car. Dry grip was unbelievable, car cornered like a house fly. I later fitted some to a Mégane and that was the same, gave me so much confidence to through a car into a bend and it would hold. Really stable at high speeds as well from the stiffer side walls.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Hi I was used 195/50/15 R5NK Vr2 for Slalom competition, R5 soft compound give you fast start and nice grib from beginning to finish with this price the best chose for all drivers amateur and professional drivers.
Nothing wrong with these tyres!
I have had them on my car since September 2012 & they are fine. I do a 60 mile round trip each day to work & dont notice them being any different to the Michelins which were on my car previously.
The Wanli S1063 is very good value for money & to be honest are not as cheap and nasty as some reviews lead you to believe, In fact the tread pattern on these tyres is actually an old Pirelli design!!! Just because the S1063 cost less it doesn't make them an inferior or unsafe tyre.

I've had these tyres for almost 5 years and I have driven 18000miles with them. At first the tyres were good on dry (in air temperature up to 40C) and wet roads.
Visible wear started to appear after 15000miles, cracks are visible on the entire surface and the rear tyres started to make noises.
I do not recommend driving in winter with these tyres. Control of the vehicle is very hard on slush and stopping distace doubles or even triples. On 2-3cm of snow the car is unable to stop.

Excellent tyre, makes you feel very very comfortable, especially in the wet. As soon as I had these tyres mounted on to my car, I immediately felt the difference. The turn-in is absolutely electric!! Very fast response from the tyres. This is a must have for every sportscar. It gives you maximum traction in both wet and dry conditions for a very competitive price.
