I had these on a 320d M Sport so a 150 BHP engine, so not massive power, anyway fantastic in the dry, in the wet however they are seriously a death trap. Could never pull away normally without sending the traction control on a flip out, was able to start a drift at 10 MPH, the tyres are totally shocked, by rain, grass, mud, any form of ice. Just avoid if you can

Very similar too longlongs by the sound of it, and probably most tyres in that price range?

What i found incredible was the terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tireding gap in grip levels between wet and dry. Shouldnt be aloud. It would be almost safer to inforce them to have less dry grip! That way it would be less likely to get cought out in the wet. :-/

That's exactly my issue with them, you could never lose that car in the dry they were superb in the dry, but it was physically unsafe to take it out in the wet.

You get what you pay for for 95% time of time with tyres.

Use budget tyres at your own peril.

Can I just add Sunew tyres to this list, the bloke who had the Mini before me has just had a brnad spanking new set of these put on here, it spins all the way to fourth gear  An entire set of 4 for the Mini would cost £174.95 delivered for 225-45-17's, they're unbelievably bad

Not all budget tyres are bad

I have Accelera Alpha's on mine (as does 2woody on one of his) and they're towards the top of the budget range... Better than some mid range tyres IMO

Mind you... They're re-branded Vredestein's

Indeed... Yet other sites, like this one give them much better reviews Again, it's down to personal preference

Can't say I'd ever buy tyres based on subjective internet opinions alone.

I always try to check out as many tyre tests as possible which normally only includes premium and some mid range tyres.  But I'd rather pay the extra for that piece of mind that I haven't wasted money on some potential ditch finders.

I fitted a pair of tyres on mine at the weekend, still havent looked what make they are.
