The Triangle TR968 is a polarizing budget tire that is frequently criticized for extreme road noise and poor wet-weather performance. While a minority of users appreciate its longevity and low price point for daily driving or drifting, the overwhelming consensus among reviewers is that the tire lacks the safety and refinement expected for standard road use, particularly in damp or wet conditions.
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

Pros
- Extremely low purchase price
- Exceptional tread longevity and durability
- Acceptable dry-weather grip for casual driving
- Aggressive, sporty tread pattern design
Cons
- Intolerable levels of road noise and cabin drone
- Dangerous lack of traction in wet or damp conditions
- Unpredictable handling and significant understeer
- Harsh ride quality and vibration issues
- Inconsistent manufacturing quality leading to uneven wear
Worth knowing
- Users with high-torque, rear-wheel-drive vehicles frequently report excessive wheel spin and unpredictable rear-end traction in the wet.
- Owners of premium sedans (BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes) often mistake the tire's loud drone for mechanical failure, such as bad wheel bearings or differential issues.
- Drivers using these on smaller, lighter vehicles or for track-day drifting report more favorable experiences compared to those using them for daily commuting on heavier cars.
