Erm not so.

I have nearly always run on these so called ditchfinders and never ever had a prob.

I run my fabia vrs on the cheapest i can get within reason as its just a daily works runner so dont care.

My octy has had the contis it came with new then marangoni, kumoh 712, mayrun mr800 falken 452(worst out of all) toyo t1r (loved them) michelin sp2

Nothing wrong with ditchfinders so long as you look after them and dont drive silly which on public roads you shouldnt anyway.

No tyre is dangerouse its just the dumb assed driver not driving to the conditions.

Edit

Yes there is a difference and i can tell for sure but for an everyday car even the vrs budgets are fine so long as your not driving like a loon.

They are more fun with good tyres tho. Toyo t1r are best for grip. Never had trouble pulling off or cornering my octy vrs with any tyre on. Mind i dont drive her, just cruise lol

thats madness...for a start marangoni, khumo,falken and toyo are def not chinese cr*p, they are not ditch finders either, they are mid priced non premium tyres, and are often better than contis or pirellis and similar overpriced brands. I for one always use toyos where i can.I am talking about autogrip, linglong, mayrun and the like...and in a mapped vrs (either fabia or octavia) i have owned several of both now, tyres make a huge difference to grip FACT. Go tell everyone on every other forum, to ditch their toyos or vreds for autogrips and linglongs and see what they say!!!

If you're stuck for money then nankang ns2s are a fairly decent tyre for little money, they just dont last long. Kumho are fairly decent too. There seems to be a fondness for falkens on here but TBH I wouldn't put them on a trailer.

Stuff like linglong, wanli, sunny etc are only fit for making crash barriers out of IMHO

We done having handbags out about tyres?? lol.

I prefer Achillies, Good price, Fantastic grip and last for ever
