I had them on my 01 civic. I liked the tire alot. I got them for about $65 a piece for 205-17-40. The sidewall was sturdy and tread was deep. The grip was good and I think I remember them having a lip guard (the lip of the tire was further out than the lip of the rim so the tire would rub, not the rim) The lip guard might not be on the Wanli but I know the tires were good. Got them from http://www.performancetirewholesalers.com/ Very fast shipping and friendly bunch of guys over there

These are chinese-made tires: www.wanlitires.com
I like the threading on 'em but then again, I don't know about quality and durability.
It's your call.

I had them on my xB, I got them in a Wheel & Tire package from Wheelmax. They were good, I never had any problems with them. They handled really well. Here's the only pic I have with them.

they make the imitation yoko avs sports... i read a review that they are louder than most tires and have not so good wet traction... but hey you save tons of money... just don't push em too hard... you get what you pay for and i think they would be fine as everyday tires

There just a cheap no name brande tire! VW said it best ... you get what you pay for! I would not cheap out on tires considering your life is ridding on them. I know tire rack has tire reviews and you can see what people actualy think about each tire. From expierence I know the Pirelli P7000's are VERY good tires wet and dry and the Yokohama AVS ES100 are VERY good dry and good wet.

It was snowing on my way home from work today and the Yoks did pretty good. I have them on the car now. There were a few times they go lose but nothing major and nothing I couldn't control!

I had some rough times in the snow with my Yoks...maybe it was just my experience. They were quite wide, too.

I could be way wrong on these Wanli tires. I've never used 'em. But, I guess I'd just rather not be the guinne pig when it comes to tires.

I live in south fla and unless theres a climate shift I will not have to worry about snow. I guess its a 50/50 shot with these tires. I was also looking into kumho tires.
