Has anybody on here used Jinyu tyres on there omega ?
Just been quoted 120 quid for a pair (235/45/zr17's)

Got the name from a customer who works for a tyre firm and is not known for talking shite 

[martin42]

Oh dear this going to be 1 of them threads thats going to go around in circles lol....

[dbug]

Never heard of them before today - but yet another cheapo Chinese import.  Personally I'd be wary.

You can get "known brand" tyres for around £120 a pair

[albitz]

Yes. I had 4 of them on my Omega (235/45/17). They aren't bad imo until they get to around half worn,then they are awful,particularily in the wet. I still have them on the rear,with not much wear left in them and things can get a bit exciting at times when the going gets slippery.
Would I pay £120 a pair for them ? No chance.In fact the only reason I had them was that they were free.

At that price range I'd be looking at Runway Enduro's... Possibly a smidgeon more than that and they aren't too bad

[05omegav6]

If you can find them in that size

If you can find them in that size, let me know where as I need a couple

Oh... OK

This might cause an argument, But it's an option  . I've been considering German part worn known brands tyres rather than buy new cheapo Chinese 

Was watching these but they've now sold.

I had Wanli Ditchfinders on my old Omega.......All 4 for £200 INCLUDING FITTING.

I found them fine, but they were finished on the back within 6,000 miles.

I paid less than £400  for a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy 2....... 235/45/17.I can't fault them.

Good job you weren't quick enough, price is well over the top for tyres that are effectively shagged, they have less than a quarter of their life left, and the horrible quarter at that, for effectively £45-£50 a corner (based on £10-£15 fitting). That makes it a very, very expensive tyre....

You pay people to fit your tyres ? ! How odd.

You really are an erudite charmer, TB.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

[05omegav6]

For £85 you can buy a perfecrly acceptable BRAND NEW tyre
