Hi
anyone used any of these Wanli tyres ?
Thinking of putting a couple on the rear just to tide me over for a couple of months

Junk, if you want reasonable budget tyres try Baurum or Kuhmo.

Slightly off topic. Ive been running a budget trye called a federal for about 18 months. They have been excellent, would slide when pushed at first but after a couple of thousand miles have got better and better. Worth a look if your looking at budget tyres. FYI the four I have on have done 25k + so far and are bairly half worn.

Wanli = junk. Cheap as chips, but I wouldnt want to drive on chips!

Before the V70, I had a beemer 528 touring that came with Wanlis on the back. Absolutely bloody lethal. Back end used to snap away on even the slightest of damp roads. STEER CLEAR!!

Changed to Pirreli P-Zeros on the beemer and it was like a new car. Very grippy even on soaking roads. On the Volvo, I use Avons as I find them a good balance between performance and price.

You'll be best buying a pack of digestives and a roll of Sellotape.
Rap the digestives round your rims with the Sellotape.
Bolt them back on, and give them a test on the M11.

Thinking about it, you might actually get a bit more grip out of the digestives.
Might make your car safer, if your thinking of putting the wanlis on.

Try FEDERAL, DEBICA or KUMHO.
