Tyre reviews Ovation VI-388. Page 7 603

I bought the tires in the spring of 2024 in size 225/55/17. The first impressions were just wow, given the price, I drove them as expected, but after 3000 km of mileage at a speed of 120-140 km/h, vibrations started, at first I thought it was a balancing issue, but as it turned out, 2 balloons were deformed. As a result, I suffered with this for another 2000 km and eventually changed them to my old Nokian, the one that was on the spare. I bought them because the reviews were good, apparently I was unlucky. I won't be buying cheap Chinese tires anymore.

Good, soft rubber. True, after 1.5 thousand km, it requires re-balancing. But that's a trifle. Apparently, the manufacturer itself recommends balancing after running-in 300/400 km, and not immediately when installed. But that's not about us.
I switched from Pirelli Zero. It was stiff. This one is softer. It absorbs potholes well. It handles the road perfectly, even in the rain.

I'm satisfied with the purchase, the tires have proven themselves, soft, reinforced edges, I read reviews before buying and decided to try, and everything is super, I've driven 30 thousand kilometers with minimal wear 👍, we'll see how it performs further, I recommend it to everyone! Pirelli; Kumho; Continental; the price is biting, but China also makes good things! Thanks to Moavtoshina, this is my third purchase from them, everything is clear 👍

Quiet. Easy to balance. Soft, but at the same time strong, not a single puncture. Excellent braking on dry road, normal on wet. Cheap, bought during sanctions and price surge.
Killed in two years. Did not drive aggressively. 90% city and highway. Wear is not uniform. One tire is worn more. Two have fewer marks. When braking sharply, it wears out very much. As it wears out, the center bulges, severe wear.
As a temporary replacement, it's okay, but no more than two years.

245/45 R18, used for 3 seasons, 30 thousand km, natural wear. On the highway, average speed 130-170, feels confident at 220. The tire is soft, which is why it wears out faster, but at the same time it grips well and is not noisy. For the first 2 seasons, it handled aquaplaning perfectly, by the third season it started to float a bit. I recommend buying, and I'm ordering a new set myself!

I bought tires from this manufacturer based on people's reviews. The rubber is indeed very decent, not noisy, behaves adequately on a wet road, doesn't throw, doesn't float.
Ovation VI-388 225/55 R17 101W XL - can be taken boldly.

In terms of price-quality ratio, this is a fairly decent tire. It handles the road well, behaves reasonably on wet asphalt, and doesn't lose traction during sharp turns. It's quite soft. It doesn't react to ruts in the asphalt. The noise level is low. You can consider it as an alternative to the brand-name ones. After driving 5,000 km, I didn't notice any significant wear. I bought the tire for summer use, and I haven't tested it on snow and frost.

Size 235/40 R19. I drove on them from 2020 to 2022, then sold them as used. They hold the road fairly well, are not noisy, and have a sturdy sidewall. Tread wear is average. I recommend them for purchase

The quality and price are excellent. Competitors are nervously smoking on the side. Previously, I had Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, the tread pattern is the same. They look great on the disk. The only downside is aquaplaning, it's worse than Goodyear. I would take these again for winter), but with studs)

Decent tires for the economy segment. Surprisingly quiet. Good performance in heavy rain. It's too early to talk about durability due to the small mileage. Overall, I recommend.
