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
47/100From 11 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
63/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 11 owner reviews found online.
The Hifly HP801 is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives highly inconsistent feedback from users. While some owners report surprising levels of comfort and durability for the price, others cite significant safety concerns regarding wet-weather traction and structural integrity issues like tread separation.
Pros
- High value for money compared to premium brands
- Surprisingly low road noise levels for a budget tire
- Adequate dry-weather handling and grip
- Good ride comfort for larger SUVs
Cons
- Dangerous loss of traction in wet conditions
- Reports of structural defects including tread separation and sidewall bulging
- Rapid or uneven tread wear
- Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency for some users
Worth knowing
- Users with heavy SUVs like the VW Touareg and Audi Q7 reported generally positive experiences with comfort and noise levels.
- Owners of smaller crossovers like the Ford Kuga reported significant issues with uneven tread wear patterns.
- High-performance or heavy-duty applications appear to highlight the tire's limitations in wet-weather grip and structural longevity.
