never heard of it... i'd suggest to go for reputable brand as quality and expectations above all should/would be met. Even a 2nd hand/used branded tyres are [in my opinion] better than budget equivalent.

Hope that helps.

Company based in Hong Kong.  Listed as very 'budget' tyres.  Not something I think I would trust enough to fit to two tonnes of expensive car.

Performance ratings seem to be average for a winter tyre though.  Economy 'E' and Grip 'C'.  At less than £250 a set fitted it's a good deal if you want cheap.

Can't find any reviews though.

Yeah I couldnt find any reviews or much info on them.

They look like they are fairly new over here.

Well thought I would give them a go, for £226 delivered for the 255/55/18 if they are rubbish ill just sell them and get some Vreds.

I've been surprised in the past with 'Budget' tyres, after doing 100,000 hard miles in my 330ci and having tried every tyre I tried some Primewell Sport 910s.

They are 1/2 the price of the usual tyres I used and I couldn't believe it, they are simply the best tyre I have ever put on the 330  ::)

Some times its worth a go.

I wont be driving like a hooligan with these winter tyres so hopefully nothing bad will happen.

I'll report back soon, I should have them fitted on Saturday and hopefully it will snow so I can fully test them.

Pop up to Inverness - plenty of the white stuff here to play in with the new tyres.

If i wasnt messing about trying to get my bathroom sorted I would.

Plus looks like it might snow here, woo hoo.

So day 4 with the tyres and they seem really good so far, defo grip better than the normal Michelin summer tyres I had on, so for the money I cant complain, plus it means im not eating up the big 20" expensive ones on the other set of alloys.
