You get what you pay for. However new soft tyres with tread will always feel better than old worn out hard tyres so people think they are OK, but that is not a fair comparison.

I doubt the factory will receive any complaints from customers explaining how dead they are because of the poor handling of the tyres.

i bought some mags that had triangles on them. i had a few off road excursions that were unplanned. i ditched the triangles & fitted bridgestones. what a difference in handling. so far i've stayed on the road without any surprises. will never have triangles on any of my vehicals again. even tho they had lots of tread the tyre shop refused to buy them to sell on as second hand tyres. that has to say something!

Put it this way, if they are good and cheap why aren't they standard on any new car!

Harder compound in the tires has made them last twice as long as more expensive ones.

Thought I might get this sort of response and I'm happy to take the advice of experience. Looks like I'll spend a few more $$ and get better quality and piece of mind. I dont really like surprises at 100 kmh. Cheers all.

Hyper have deals on Toyo's every now and again. I think I paid $125 each or so for some proxes in 195/50R15 shipped to my door.

I guess everytime you hit an apex of the triangle the car would lurch!

Cheap noisy, poor handling heck supercats are way better cheap and made by a reputable brand.

They are seriously dangerous in the wet, I drive a RWD and just around basic corners with minimal acceleration, the car will slowly creep out. I never had this problem with my Kumhos (as you'd probably expect). In the dry I can't fault them, although they're very noisy but it doesn't bother me too much. I'm running 215 45 17s.

seen plenty of them come through work you can see while they call them triangles not round at all.

Terrible tyres. Even the missus noticed a difference in handling, and that says alot!
