I switched to this tyre from a conti SC5, a top-of-the-range tyre with high expectations. I drive a lot, and a set lasts at least 1 year, but I can already see that these tyres are hard (hence its poor performance). My car is a 2.0T petrol and has 200kms and over 300nm, the tyre does not cope with this power in dry or wet. In the dry it can box and rip even in 2nd gear, in the wet in 4th gear. This was not the case with the C SC5. I've never had tyres that in size 225 with ESP on would rip in 1st and 2nd gear in the dry! In the wet, very slippery (I used to have linglonga -china tyres and thought that if I chose chinese tyres with a different price range and a lot of positive comments it would be different - I was wrong). In the wet a car with 1.0 engine overtakes me 3x. I am not able to transfer even a fraction of the power to the wheels. In the wet from 1st gear it's hard to start, so I start from 2nd and they keep on boxing. I have never experienced this on other tyres. Finally the positives, great price, pretty quiet, and they suppress noise nicely. Balanced twice since new - problems with balancing. Not many positives. I will not buy any more Chinese tyres and I advise against it, it is better to spend the 100 coins a piece and buy something more branded.

It is a little sensitive on slippery surfaces.Starting rapidly from a traffic light with a trailer will result in squealing, even in second gear (Peugeot Pratner 90 hp).Even so, after more than 5,000 km, there is very little wear.As the name says, the EcoDriver is not for performance driving... within its factory designation it performs at a 4+ rating

I do not know what possessed me to buy these tires. I'm afraid to enter into puddles-car slips. It is better to opt for a slightly more expensive-not Chinese, np.KUMHO

It is impossible to drive on wet roads. Three tyres out of four purchased are kind of "egg-shaped" and have run-outs. It is impossible to drive above 100k/h. I will try to file a complaint and see what happens. Even if they were ok, the wet grip is a disqualifier. This is the first and last time I have bought cheap Chinese tyres. I do not recommend it.
