aaronmartin 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Just wondering if anyone here has bought some of the Altenzo tyres, and if so, what do you think of them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Have them on the front of the 850, good value for money. Pretty good on the track, not because they have zero grip but because they didn't fall apart, far too often cheaper tyres fall to bits after 1 lap, managed to do 5 laps with no problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaronmartin 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 What are they like for daily use? When I last changed from Yokohama to Hankook, I noticed a massive decrease in wet grip and more understeer in the dry, so I wonder if these will be better / worse than the Hankooks.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Hi Aaron We import and sell Altenzo tyres and they are by far the best value for money tyres we have come across. They are more of a touring tyre than an out and out performance tyre, but in saying that not everyone needs a performance tyre. We have sold a lot in the last 6 months and have been getting great feedback about them. They are nice and quiet and offer good grip levels in both the wet and dry. They are designed and engineered in Australia but made in China to keep the costs down. The factory is relatively new (only a few years old) and uses German equipment. Unlike a lot of other Chinese tyres they also have silica in them. I am not sure how they compare to the Hankook's as we have not had anyone give us any direct feedback between the two. If you are looking for a performance tyre then I would recommend the Toyo Sport Truck II over these. If you are lloking for a touring/commuting tyre then the Altenzo are unbeatable cheers Johno Edited February 7, 2011 by zenetti Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
