I think the jury is out untill more can learned about these tyres , also there is a frieght charge as well, ie $59 to WA x Each that adds up tp about $220 fitted so a bit more than $139 but a whole lot less than the major brands , but with the same specs and Australian Standards which have to be met .
I can remember when korean tyres came on the market the same comments were made about them , but time has proved otherwise .
Maybe some good might come out of it in that prices for the major brands might come down from the present over the top prices .

Most Korean tyres are also crap.
They're used mainly by young fellas wearing baseball caps backwards who spent every cent on ridiculous looking chrome wheels and cant afford decent rubber for them.
The rubber compounds used are horrendous, and would likely be on the Sunitrac units as well.
Often these cheaper tyres last a lot less time, handle poorly, and perform even worse when needed most - emergency braking and collision avoidance.

SubscriberI fail to see the logic that after spending in excess of $80,000++ for a very nice and capable car and then put cheap crappy tyres on.
FFS they are the only thing between you and the road, so no matter how capable the chassis and brakes are they are not going to help when the tyres have let you down.
I prefer good proven tyres which are suitable for the purpose I use them for. I put Cooper LTZ for my outback trip and even on some crappy tracks did not let me down and have gone back to the standard wranglers for blacktop work. When the wranglers are finished I will look for a good quality road tyre with excellent grip at a fair price commensurate with what I have paid for my D4.
