These tyres were already fitted to my car from the dealer that i bought the car from. Be warned these tyres are dangerous more so in the wet. I had these replaced with goodyear F1 asymmetrics and the diffrance is like night and day. The fullrun are cheap budget tyres that are made in china on a budget by the sounds of it avoid at all costs.

I bought my car with these alreday fitted but i wouldn't put these on a wheelbarrow let alone a car. Very very poor grip in the wet infact it got to a point where i didn't drive my car when wet. I ve fitted goodyear eagle F1 asymmetrics now and these tyres are in another league compared to these ditchfinders i mean fullruns.

If you are considering buying these tyres purely based on price then please take my advice and spend your money on another brand. These tyres were on my car when i purchased it from dealer. The tread seemed to have plenty life left, however it soon became apparent that the tyres have dangerous levels of grip even in slightly damp conditions. The tyre noise at all speeds was horrendous. I decided to replace the fronts and upon checking the inner tyre walls on both tyres, they were both found to be split around the entire circumference. I was lucky they had not blown out at high speeds. In summary avoid this brand of tyres at all costs.......be warned!!

Comment:
Absolute shockers!Bought the car with these tyres already fitted and have had them removed and replaced with Bridgestone REO 50's.The difference in grip and performance is off the scale.Just as one of the other reviewers stated,my wife would no longer drive the car because of an incident where the car got a "tank slapper" at aprox 20 mph.It begs the question is there a minimum standard for the grip and performance of a tyre? and if so do these tyres actually meet it?
