The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Only been on about 600 miles so far. Grip improving still, very impressive In all areas so far.
Quiet, and with good grip, these Sportracs are a revelation in the rain.
I'm told these tyres get better as they bed in. I'm happy now, if they improve more I'll be amazed.
My car is fairly torquey, and so
would spin it's tyres in the wet previously. These haven't spam once as yet.

Well, after being recommended these by a friend, erm let me say, I wont be using these 'budget' tyres again. They were okish at first, well for the first 1000 miles of use, not that they got a lot of use as they only lasted only lasted 4000 miles and after that 1000 they were absolutely terrible. These tyres in the wet are absolutely terrible as it makes you feel as if your car is on the log flume at the local water park and in the dry, well they just give up so easily! Without no warning! They also squeal like mad and draw lots of attention. They only good thing about them is that they have little road noise, but I value grip over that. Therefore, I won't be using these over priced Ditchanti's again!!
Spitzen-Reifen, aber der Verschleiß ist schockierend. Ich dachte es läge an meiner Frau und den Schulfahrten mit ihrem Golf GT TDI, aber das stimmte nicht. Sind tolle Reifen, aber schlimmer Abrieb und damit unwirtschaftlich. Nach vielen Jahren mit Dunlop ist es nun Zeit für einen Wechsel. Werde glaub ich etwas mehr ausgeben, um eine längere Lebensdauer zu bekommen.
Super pneu, mais le taux d'usure est choquant, je pensais que c'était la conduite de ma femme avec la gttdi golf sur la route de l'école, mais ce n'est pas le cas, ils sont d'excellents pneus pénalisés par l'usure, une fausse économie, après des années de dunlop, le temps de changer et de dépenser un peu plus pour avoir moins d'usure je pense.

These Tyres for there size and price are excellent. They are grippy enough for bombing about on Country Lanes In a clapped out car. These tend to slide but never fully let go so it always a controlled slide which is much better than gripping then fully letting go. They are good in the wet and dry and very predictable. I can always rely on them when going for a hoon.
Great tyre but the wear rate is shocking, I thought it was was my wife drove her golf gttdi on the school run but its not, they are a great tyre let down by the wear, false economy, after years of dunlop, time to change and spend a bit more to get longer wear I think.
After using these tires for 16 months 20k miles (Daily) on my MK4 VW GTTDI Golf im very impressed! I drive quite hard a lot of the time in dry/wet weather and have they never failed me unlike the previous Toyo T1R's which were rubbish.
The dry grip is astounding and you'll hardly notice the difference (if at all) when its wet and for around £110 for a pair fitted that's great value for money. I'm reviewing because i have just bought them again and as long as they make them my golf will always have them.
I also should mention i use the Bridgestone ER30's on the rear and they seem to be a excellent combo slightly less grippy which is good and very hard wearing mine have done 18K and still have 4-5MM tread after 14 months.
Fantastic tyres. So good i am on my second set. I do over 40k a year mainly motorway driving.
Awesome in the wet- breaking distance much better than my last set ( pirrelli p7) and no problem with aquaplanning. The tyres were even pretty good in the snow. I have gone through a lot of quality tyres but these are far superior in the wet and great dry grip too. Have never had a problem with the noise - dont find them much louder than any of the others.
Very very good tyre!!!
Excellent in all conditions, I drive a gritter in Scotland during the winter and have to deal with all conditions just getting to work and they have never let me down
In summer months again usually wet here in Scotland and I 'enjoy' driving country roads they perform without issue
Would highly recommend these tyres as I have has the same car for over 150000 miles and tried all so called performance brands and the uniroyal rainexperts are by far the best!
