Just noticed i have one of these on my work van.Probably just banged on there without even sayin anything by our usual tyre people.Are these good or bad quality wise??I guess these are cheaper imports from china to cut costs??

In short, if you can't find any good trusted reviews online they are usually ****.

They're probably rubbish. I've never even heard of them.

Dongfeng is a major Chinese car company. The tyres you have on are possible good quality from a chinese viewpoint.
I'd change them though.

This is all I can imagine with a brand name like that...

Might as well wrap a load of rubber bands around a dustpan lid then use those.

Rub the rubber on your dong and tell us how it feels.

Dong Feng are a Chinese brand tyres, similar to Doublestar, Wanli or Triangle's. They are a budget tyre that are good in dry weather but bad in the wet. Normally people with vans buy budget all the time because the weight of the vehicle forces the grip out of the cheap tyres but its a false economy because they normally only get 1/2 the distance of high quality tyres.

My second car, a 1.4 Astra came with these on the front. I have driven with triangle tyres, sunew tyres and a few others of that quality (on my parents car) but these are a whole grade below even them, shocking, and scary in the dry even.

If anything like Doublerats tyres, they will be crap. The hape came with a set on the front, no grip in the wet atall (found that out very fast after almost rear ending a Merc ) no grip in the dry (constant screeching round slight curves, lets not mention corners) rough, harsh (whipped 2 new balljoints in less than 10k miles) and left the car fairly wanderly wagon.

They were that bad I pumped them up hard, burnt them off and when I took them off I slashed the sidewalls making sure they could never ever be reused again

So my advice, run away from them
