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

The Runway Enduro 656 is widely regarded by users as a poor-performing budget tire, characterized by significant safety concerns in wet weather conditions. While some users find them acceptable for calm, dry-weather driving, the overwhelming consensus points to excessive road noise, poor handling, and a lack of confidence-inspiring grip.
Pros
- Affordable price point
- Acceptable performance in dry, mild conditions
- Progressive handling characteristics in dry weather for some vehicle types
Cons
- Atrocious wet-weather grip and braking performance
- Excessive road noise
- Poor tread longevity and tendency for premature deformation
- Unpredictable handling and lack of road feedback
Worth knowing
- Users reported that the tire significantly degraded the handling characteristics of mid-sized sedans like the VW Passat.
- Performance-oriented or mid-engined vehicles, such as the MG TF, showed a stark contrast between dry-weather grip and a complete lack of wet-weather traction.
- Drivers of larger vehicles, such as the Renault Espace, noted issues with tire deformation at relatively low mileages.
