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.
By owner reviews
29/100From 36 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Extremely low price point
- High tread longevity and durability
- Acceptable performance in dry conditions
- Low road noise levels reported by some users
Cons
- Extremely poor wet weather grip and hydroplaning resistance
- Unpredictable handling and loss of traction in corners

Worth knowing
- Users with rear-wheel-drive vehicles, particularly Mercedes-Benz and BMW models, frequently reported dangerous oversteer and loss of control in wet conditions.
- Owners of heavier SUVs like the Volvo XC90 reported more stable experiences, suggesting the tire may perform better on heavier vehicles with less aggressive driving styles.
- Staggered fitments on performance-oriented sedans highlighted the inability to rotate the directional tread pattern, exacerbating uneven wear issues.
