What are peoples opinions on these tyres?
Had a set of 4 fitted tuesday and have been nailing it in the wet (on private land of course), and the grip is brill.

All i am hearing is bad reports about them, so had i best be careful?

They're at the bottom end of budget tyres, so that should give you a rough idea

Never used them, but heard nothing but bad about them, and all the reviews etc I've read have echoed that.

Why fit them before asking something like this? Then why say you're going to 'change them when you can afford it' when you've said the grip is brilliant? Because people on an internet forum told you so?

Either you need to get a grip of life or you're a shite troll.

Had them on the back of the corsa, lasted 40k miles and still had loads of thread

Fucking dangerous in the wet though I thought.

As long as you aint hooning it everywhere you should be fine.

As long as they are black, round, puncture free and stop you getting 3 points per tyre, They will do for me!

sorry but there is a reason budget tyres are budget, considering they are the only thing keeping the car on the road i would much prefer to pay a bit more money and have a decent set and the security i might not crash into a field or ditch and burn. thanks bye

not rally drivers no

but normal driving conditions might throw up circumstances in which you have to move or break sharply and i would rather know i have paid maybe 2 or 300 quid more and got decent tyres on my car, not something worth skrimping on imo

Brakes and Tires are not worth scrimping on.

Always buy the best you can.

Think less about the fact you may skid into a field but the fact that the difference in stopping or manoeuvring ability could mean you hit and kill a child or not.

I really struggle to see the mindset that some people are in when it comes to buying the cheapest of the cheap. I stretch myself to buy the best I can as it not only protects me but can protect others.

I've got a brilliant grip on life mate..
I just bought the cheapest tyres i could for £200 quid, then asked if they were any good after.

Read some bad reports on the internet, then asked my brilliant corsa sport friends for their opinions.

I'm an idiot, i do things first then ask after

They are a fairly important element of a vehicle, don't you think?

Yeah but if you replace the brakes, you just buy some from eurocarparts or something and don't think about it usually? I doubt cheap ones would be any worse than dealer ones.
