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.

The Jinyu Gallopro YH18 is widely regarded as a strictly budget-oriented tire that performs adequately in dry conditions but struggles significantly with wet-weather safety. While users appreciate the low price point and acceptable dry-road traction, the consensus warns against aggressive driving due to poor hydroplaning resistance and unpredictable handling in the rain.
Pros
- Highly competitive price point
- Reliable straight-line braking in dry conditions
- Satisfactory longevity for some users
- Acceptable performance for low-speed, daily commuting
Cons
- Poor wet-weather grip and high risk of hydroplaning
- Unpredictable handling and understeer in corners
- Vague steering feedback
- Inconsistent tread life, with some reports of premature edge wear
Worth knowing
- Users driving smaller hatchbacks like the Honda Jazz and Nissan Note report that the tire's vague feedback exacerbates the lack of steering feel inherent to these vehicle types.
- Performance is generally deemed sufficient for 'slow and steady' drivers, but is frequently criticized by those who drive more spiritedly.
