Tyre reviews Triangle TH202 EffeXSport. Page 4 5021

For this money, everything is top-notch, especially liked the grip on the road in the rain

Bought a pair at the end of summer 2024, remained satisfied. Bought a pair in the spring of 2025 - the tire bounces on the rim (in the same places, oriented to the inscriptions on the side of the tire), the rims are even. I drove around four tire shops, tried inflating up to 6 atmospheres, no effect. Had to put it on the rear axle so that the steering wheel wouldn't vibrate. I'm driving, there's vibration on the body. Looks like a defect. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

I love driving fast, 150+ and all that, but with these tires, it's just impossible. Out of the four wheels, two are more or less even, but the other two are a disaster, the kind of crooked ones they put on the rear axle. The annoying vibration on the body is infuriating. I broke them in properly, rebalanced after 1000 km, but nothing helped. We tried to roll them, give them more pressure, and rotate them on the disk, but nothing worked. You might say the suspension is bad, but I don't have such problems with my second set. Someone might say the wheels are crooked, but I'll say they're new, forged slick D5, with a minimal load of 25-40 grams. In other words, if you like driving 130+, this is not your choice. This tire is for slow, calm city driving. Because even in a turn, the Arrivo AZ5 holds stable at 77-80 km/h, while this one does 70-72 and starts squealing. It's the same turn, same tire size, and same car. I guess if someone burns out their tires with a burnout, these might be okay for the price, which is basically free. But I'll probably go back to Bridgestone.

As for noise, I won't say anything since I've always driven on run-flats, which are very noisy. Compared to a pancake, these are very quiet, but I think if you compare them to something else...

I haven't driven in good rain to see how they handle on a wet road with normal puddles, so I won't comment on that. But I think at 80-90 km/h, they'll hold steady like any other tire, and driving faster in such weather is just not a good idea.

I hope my review helps someone and saves them from making the wrong choice.

Good day.

I'm writing my review after driving approximately 2,300 km (highway + city), I bought the tires in 2025.

At the tire shop, they balanced them immediately, without any problems. In the city cycle (40-80 km/h), I drove about 200 km. The tires are very soft with predictable handling (well grips the road and recovers from skidding) and a comfortable noise level (does not hum or rustle).

During the May holidays, I made a trip to Nizhny Novgorod and back to St. Petersburg - 90% of the route was on the M11 and M7 highways at speeds from 130 to 180 km/h, at these speeds, the tires became audible (but I think this happens with any tires, even from more renowned manufacturers), the noise level was not critical. There was no vibration in the steering wheel at high speeds.

On May 11, on the return trip on the M11 toll road, on the section from Tver to Valdai, the daytime temperature dropped to 1-2 degrees, with precipitation in the form of snow and rain, the tires performed excellently - well draining water and recovering from skidding, without the risk of aquaplaning.

My tire size is 245/45 18 diameter:

In this price category: 35,000 rubles for 4 wheels (ordered in January 2025) - this is the best option in terms of price and quality. Pirelli or Michelin in my size would have cost 94,000 rubles for 4 wheels, current circumstances and having 2 cars in the family with the same tire size, prompted me to look for an alternative to the usual Pirelli/Michelin/Continental.

I was previously familiar with Triangle tires, I bought winter studded tires from them, I've already driven 2 winters - extremely satisfied, so I deliberately looked for this manufacturer for summer tires, I was very pleasantly surprised by the operational qualities and price, if I need to replace a wheel due to a puncture or damage, I have inner confidence that I will find a tire quickly and for reasonable money.

Hello everyone!

A bit of background. The car had Bridgestone Potenza S001 from the factory, which I successfully sold after 5 seasons with a remainder of 1.5mm. I bought my first Chinese tire, Triangle TH201 Sportex, in 2017 for 17,000 rubles new. The impressions were very good, it conceded to Potenza maybe by 10%, no more. It handled well on dry and wet asphalt, and I confidently drove 130 km/h in the rain, a bit more on Potenza.

When it was time to get new tires again, I was looking for the same model, but I came across an updated one, the TH202. I didn't even read reviews, I had a gut feeling that this would be a good option, despite the fact that many models from other Chinese brands had appeared. I ordered it from Mosavtoshina, they had the most affordable price. Delivery took 3 days, but shipping took 9 days. The wheels were balanced better than with the previous model. I note that the tread has become softer and more attractive than on the 201 model.

The first trip out of the tire shop and I was shocked to find that 255/35 R20 tires can be soft. The traction is very noticeably strong, the wheels are reluctant to slip when I floor it. The 201 model would slip even at half throttle. On wet roads, there's almost no difference from dry roads, it doesn't slip. I haven't driven in heavy rain yet, but I think it will also hold confidently, and driving through puddles doesn't pull the car to the side like the 201 model did. In general, this tire has caught up, in my opinion, to those Bridgestones that would have cost 4 times more.

I'm not a fan of experiments, so I'll always have tires from this brand, and you choose what you like. Good luck!

I bought them last winter on sale, didn't put them on right away, one tire was uneven, had to put it on the rear axle, didn't even bother to contact for replacement since a lot of time had passed
The tire is significantly undersized, 245/35/20 but in reality looks like 215, it stands very domed on the rim!!!
Another huge drawback is the very rapid wear, 12,000 km on the front and it's finished (driving is calm)
Result: out of 4 tires, 2 are bald, 1 is uneven
I will never buy Triangled or Kapsen again, I've had the same experience with them!!!!

I purchased 20/275/45 tires for my 2nd generation Touareg. Previously, I had Dunlop tires, something like Mahhrenpoyamikakto... In comparison to them, these tires are twice as quiet, I was surprised by their budget-friendly price and quietness. On wet roads, they handle excellently, and at high speeds, I had no issues - I accelerated to 205 km/h on the M11 highway, mostly cruising at 130-150 km/h. Honestly, I didn't believe in these tires, but as they say, life forced me to change my opinion completely. However, for winter, I'm not ready to switch yet, I'll stick with proven manufacturers. I paid 10,200 rubles per tire, so all four cost 40,800 rubles. I got them in the 24th week of 2010, they were fresh and still warm when I bought them.

The tires have only positive reviews, first of all, the price, the trigger for the purchase was a video on YouTube about the test of tires in Hungary, on the track, they tested the TRIANGLE tire on cars such as Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen, and received very good reviews from the tests. I installed EffexSport on my car in size 215 50 R17 and just enjoy it! The tire is quiet, holds excellent in turns! I was also impressed by the thickness and density of the sidewalls, there is a rim protection edge from curbs. It was balanced without any problems! Before that, I had Michelin Primacy 4, the tire is noisier compared to the new one. So I recommend buying it, you will definitely not regret it!

This tire will do, but not immediately.
One of the 4 wheels at the tire shop in Mosavtoshina refused to balance in any way. It showed 5/60
The master compensated with weights and said "it will settle in"
The first impression in the city - soft and quiet, but on the highway, it was a disaster, from 110 it started beating strongly.
I got very upset. But I decided to settle it in.
After 600-800 km, I stopped by a tire shop and rebalanced it again. They shaved off some areas and added weights to others. I drove some more, not perfectly, but it got much better.
After 1.5 months and about 2000 km, the tire finally settled in and stopped beating. No discomfort at all.
So if it's beating, be patient, settle it in, and rebalance it 2-3 times.
One obvious minus - at speeds of 140-150, the tire floats a bit. Well, this is only noticeable in comparison with more renowned brands.
So, for this price, it's an excellent option))

I spent a long time choosing a replacement for my Continental tires from China. I chose the TН202 based on YouTube reviews and the website. After driving over 3000km on them, I can say that the tires are quite decent. Up to 130km/h, the handling is the same as it was with the Continental. The noise level is also normal, in general, it's a decent option for the price, if you don't expect super grip at maximum speeds.
