What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 875 owner reviews found online.

The i-Link L Grip 55 receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from users, particularly regarding its exceptional value for money as a budget tire. Reviewers frequently highlight its low road noise, reliable wet and dry grip, and improved steering response compared to older tires.

Pros

  • Excellent value for money and affordable pricing
  • Low road noise and a quiet, smooth ride
  • Reliable and confident grip in both wet and dry conditions
  • Improved vehicle handling, stability, and steering response

Cons

  • A small number of users noted minor grip limitations in specific wet conditions compared to premium brands
  • Isolated incidents of early durability issues such as slow punctures or pothole damage
  • Slight initial break-in period where handling felt momentarily unusual

Worth knowing

  • Users driving smaller or lower-powered city cars (such as Nissans) reported that the budget tire performs nearly identically to premium options.
  • Fitments on estate cars and vans (like a Citroen 2.0 HDi estate) successfully handled reinforced wall requirements and rough, potholed roads while maintaining comfort.
