Are these tires suitable for city driving?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them for city driving. The tires just aren't durable enough to withstand the constant bumps and potholes you'll encounter in the city.

Can I use these tires in the winter?

I wouldn't recommend it. The tires just aren't designed for winter driving, and you'll be putting yourself at risk of getting a flat or worse.

How long do these tires last?

Unfortunately, they don't last very long. I got a flat just a month in, and I've heard from other reviewers that they've had similar issues.

Are these tires good for fuel efficiency?

They're decent, but not great. I didn't notice a huge difference in fuel efficiency, and I've heard from other reviewers that they've had similar experiences.

Can I return these tires if I'm not satisfied?

Yes, you can return them, but it's a hassle. Make sure you read the return policy carefully before making a purchase.

Are these tires made in the USA?

No, they're made in Hungary. I'm not sure why the manufacturer thought that was a good idea, but it's not a selling point for me.

Can I use these tires on my truck?

I wouldn't recommend it. The tires just aren't designed for heavy-duty use, and you'll be putting yourself at risk of getting a flat or worse.

Are these tires suitable for high-performance driving?

No, they're not. The tires just aren't designed for high-performance driving, and you'll be putting yourself at risk of losing control of your vehicle.

What's the warranty like on these tires?

The warranty is decent, but I didn't have to use it, so I don't know how well it works in practice.

Tire Review: Avoid These Tires at All Costs

I spent a ton of time researching tires before making a purchase, pouring over reviews and comparing fuel efficiency ratings. I finally settled on these tires, thinking they offered a great balance of price and performance. I decided to start with just the front tires (since they're the ones that steer) and let my old ones wear out on the back over the next couple of seasons. They cost me around $53 per tire.

I'm driving a 2010 Honda Fit, with 185/55 R16 tires. I've had my fair share of driving experiences, but I've never been too particular about tires until now. I figured it was time to upgrade and see if I could notice a difference in performance.

These tires are made in Hungary, and I bought them last year. When I first got them, I noticed they were significantly lighter than my old Dunlop SP Sport 7000s. That was a bit concerning, but I figured a reputable brand like this one would know what they're doing, so I went with it.

I installed them after the winter season, since my old summer tires had been sitting idle for about six months. I'm not exactly an expert on tires, so I didn't notice any significant difference in performance. Of course, these new tires should handle wet roads better, and I'm not driving too fast (usually under 100 km/h), so I didn't expect any issues. Fuel efficiency seemed about the same.

Just a month after installation (around 1600 km), I hit a pothole and a bulge appeared on the tire. I was driving on a relatively smooth road, but I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. The bulge was quite noticeable, and I knew I had to get it checked out as soon as possible.

Driving with a bulge like that can lead to a blowout, which is a serious safety issue. Some people recommend swapping in a spare and then replacing the damaged tire, while others suggest repairing it. Some folks even just swap the front and back tires to see if that helps. I've read that a repair isn't necessarily a guaranteed fix, and it's not covered under warranty. I decided to try and repair it instead of buying a new tire.

The shop owner told me it was no big deal and that they could reinforce the tire with a patch and I'd be good to go. The price for the repair, including balancing, was around $8 - a tiny fraction of what a new tire would cost. I was a bit skeptical at first, but they assured me it was a common issue with these tires.

They took the tire off the rim and found that the damage was just some minor wear on the inside. They also checked the rim and found a small imperfection, but the shop owner said it wasn't worth fixing. Apparently, Honda makes pretty good rims.

After the repair, the tire still sticks out a bit. I mentioned to the shop owner that I saw a Mercedes nearby with the same tire model, but a different size (around 45-50). I warned him to be more careful with potholes, and he told me he's been happy with the tire's performance - it's much softer than his old one, and he finds it more comfortable to drive.

If you don't drive on rough roads, these tires might be okay for you. But if you do, I'd say steer clear. I've been driving on these tires for a while now, and I've had my fair share of issues. I'm not saying they're the worst tires out there, but they're definitely not the best.

I've tried to be as objective as possible in this review, but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with these tires. I thought they would be a great choice for my Honda Fit, but it seems like they're not as durable as I thought. If you're in the market for new tires, I'd recommend doing some more research and reading up on other reviews before making a decision.

I'd give these tires 2 out of 5 stars. They're not the worst tires I've ever had, but they're definitely not the best. I'd recommend them to someone who drives on smooth roads and doesn't mind a bit of vibration, but if you drive on rough roads, I'd say look elsewhere.

Update: I've had a few people ask me about the repair process, so I thought I'd add a bit more detail. The shop owner told me that the repair is a common issue with these tires, and that it's not a guarantee that it will happen. However, if it does happen, it's usually a relatively simple fix. They just need to clean the area around the damage, apply a special adhesive, and then apply a patch. It's a bit of a process, but it's not too complicated.

One thing to keep in mind is that the repair is not covered under warranty. I'm not sure why that is, but it's something to keep in mind if you're considering buying these tires. I'd recommend reading up on the warranty and seeing what's covered before making a decision.
