Numerous advice from other users are available (also refer to the approximately three million other tire topics on this forum).However, after an incident over the weekend, I can unequivocally state "no" to the Chinese Autogreen tires. A buddy just acquired a pristine 318i coupe equipped with a pair of these aesthetically pleasing tires, which are evidently brand new and installed to ensure compliance with the MOT before to sale at little cost. They are not outdated inventory, since they have a date stamp from late 2024. He is having them replaced this week. He visited and took me on a drive just to demonstrate their poor performance. I have had many Chinese tires; now, my E350 CDI is equipped with a set of "Sunwide" rear tires, installed by the previous owner for the MOT. To be honest, I intended to replace them, but they are satisfactory.I anticipated his tires to be subpar but acceptable for the price; nevertheless, that was not the case. Intimidating is the term; it was arid and refined. The formidable 318i engine could effortlessly surpass traction even at moderate cornering velocities, and at the very least, it provided enough auditory warning before to losing control.They are, in fact, consistently audible. Those tires have endowed the automobile with the capacity for simultaneous oversteer and understeer! The owner possesses considerable driving expertise and enjoys utilising the vehicle's capabilities, having been well-instructed. However, a typical budget-conscious driver, using the vehicle for family transportation, could easily encounter perilous situations if opting for those tires. It is astonishing that they remain available for sale. Unpleasant...avoid!
