chinese tires don't belong on a performance car

You can buy a set of dunlop direzza star specs for not much more money and they are an AWESOME tire. Do not buy Chinese tires period.

I have those tires on my racing harts right now. They are fine for normal driving but felt kind of "floaty" when pushed on turns. They are softer so the ride is more comfortable.

 

[TheMAN]

softer = easier to crack/bend wheels

 

[mazdaspeedp]

yeah true that well i have them put on now and it was cheap so ill have to live with them for a bit atleast there better than what i had balld exclaim ehp's those were bad

August Car & Driver did a "Budget Performance Tire Test", and the linglongs finished dead last in every test except for price. Results, in order, best to worst: Dunlop Star Spec, Hankook Ventus, Kumho Ecsta XS, Potenza RE-760, BFG G-Force KDW, Yoko s.drive, Azenis RT-615, Nitto Invo, linglong. The Ecsta XS actually whipped the others in dry testing, but was too spooky in the wet to win overall. I know there are more tires/brands out there, but space limitations kept the list short they said.

wanli/ling longs should not be on any car. those things are down right dangerous. ive seen customers roll in to my work on damn near new sets and the sidewalls already cracking around the the entire sidewall

if the chinese design and builds death traps, what makes anyone think their tires are any better?

LMFAO @ ding a ling tires!? Give me a ******* break. I wouldn't put that s*** on my car unless I wanted to lose control of my car and die. Stick with big brand names that have a good performance reputation. Tires are one thing you don't want to skimp on since your vehicle's control and handling depend on them!

I learned that lesson a few months ago!

I have them LingLong's on my car. Was put on from previous owner. About 75% thread left and no sign of issue yet but road noise (notcool). Performance wise idk just my daily driver. You get what you pay for in my terms.

 

[mazdaspeedp]

ding aling lol s*** i dident think these were that bad maybe ill get a set of toyo next time

Update from the ding aling tires. Since this post started and my MSP rolling with the ding alings I've been monitoring the tires. Another issue I've noticed is that when I park the car for 1 night and drive off the next day to work the tires seems to be warped. Like it has been sitting for the whole winter. After about a mile or 2 of driving the tires straightens up. I personally will not be getting these tires for my next set.
