    By God, do Dongfeng tyres sound dodgy or what???

    I wouldn't even drive to the tyre centre on them - any mobile units around your way?

    They are a very cheap tyre from China. Not great at all from what i have heard. Easily available in the States. Havent heard much of them in Ireland

    I'm only waiting for some crowd to bring in Wan King or something. With Neil Prendeville doing an ad for them ...

    yeah they dont half sound dodgy! its ok my new alloys have infinity tyres ( okish ) and alpha tyres. the infinity ones will need changing in a month or two so it'l be off to camskill for me:D i had noticed the cornering poor enough cos its an astra and they're pretty good handling wise

    eek:eek:

    They are a Z speed rated tyre!!

    (For those who dont know, a Z rated tyre means its designed for speeds >240kmph/150mph!)

    No way would I even dream of doing 100kph on a motorway on a sunny day with these things.

    You always get what you pay for.
