The Davanti DX390 is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives highly inconsistent feedback from users. While some drivers report excellent value, quiet operation, and satisfactory longevity, a significant portion of users express serious concerns regarding wet-weather traction, handling predictability, and rapid tread wear.
Owners rate it 31.5 points lower than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
45/100From 30 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
77/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
By discipline: % of the best tire in each test.

The Davanti DX390 is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives highly inconsistent feedback from users. While some drivers report excellent value, quiet operation, and satisfactory longevity, a significant portion of users express serious concerns regarding wet-weather traction, handling predictability, and rapid tread wear.
Pros
- High value-for-money proposition compared to premium brands
- Generally quiet and comfortable ride quality for many users
- Adequate dry-weather grip for casual, non-spirited driving
- Good tread longevity reported by a subset of high-mileage drivers
Cons
- Poor and unpredictable wet-weather performance
- Sudden loss of grip without warning
- Inconsistent manufacturing quality leading to vibrations or balancing issues
- Rapid tread wear reported by some users
Worth knowing
- Users driving smaller hatchbacks (e.g., VW Polo, Audi A1) report generally higher satisfaction than those with more powerful or heavier vehicles.
- Drivers of mid-sized vehicles often report 'floaty' or 'twitchy' handling at motorway speeds.
- Some users noted that the tire's performance characteristics change significantly after the first few thousand miles.
