I have never heard of them but the few reports I can find say they are OK.

Any experience of them amongst the PH massive?

Nothing bad then, I'm sure someone would have said by now had they found them awful?

Let's hope they live up to their name wink

I notice they have very good rim protection.

I think Camskill are unlikely to sell dodgy tyres so they should be OK.

They smell very much like chinese made generic things that have an ownbrand name stamped on them. I think I'd pass unless you're REALLY broke, selling the car, or can't get ex-German part-worns off EBay.

I might just stick with Jap tyres then.

Cheers!

Bought a set of these in 265/30/19 brand new for my M3.

They grip OK in the dry but are UTTER stE in the wet - it feels like your driving on slush, the car is all over the place AVOID these at all costs.

Yes I know - 9 year thread resurrection - apologies but as budget places and even RAC are pushing these I figured it's worth a note.

Just bought a MINI Cooper with these on the front and something equally dubious on the rear.

In the wet they are spinning with moderate throttle and running wide on corners that really should not be a problem.

I'm getting a very slight clutch slip type symptom at times when changing up but I'm starting to think it is down to these tyres losing traction easily.

New premium tyres going on on Saturday morning and rain forecast so we'll see how it does after that.

But although I know most on here wouldn't put such ste on their cars - just don't. Truly horrible tyres.
