Terrible – These tyres are garbage. They have only lasted 30,000km they are shocking in the wet especially on take off no grip at all. Save your money and stick with the well known like bridgestone, michelin

Good for the price, but below avg fuel consumption – Bought product in Perth and have been using it for a year now. I was told that this product comes from same factory as Bridgestone. I don't have any issue with quality. Provides good road grip for typical driving speeds in Australian conditions. However, the fuel consumption has gone up. With the previous set of tyres which were cheaper than Bob… Read more

Jane, I got 13.3 km/l (or 7.518 litre per 100 km). With Bob Jane all rounder it reduced to 11.3 km/l (or 8.85 litre per 100 km). I feel its a big trade off for the performance.

Not worth it – Purchased these tyres for my Alfa Romeo GTV, very disappointed with that choice. Poor handling in wet and dry. They wore out quickly. Stick to known brands like Goodyear that lasted 80k twice. Same tyre on another vehicle Toyota Avalon wore out just as quick, tyres created bubbles throwing out my steering, don't waste your money, pay extra for Goodyear, Dunlop. Now purchased Continental tyres, first time, curious to see how they will perform. Show details

excellent when not moving – Tyres were fitted to a 1998 Toyota Camry V6 Wagon, have traveled beyond 10,000kms. bought 4 of the most common size - 205/65 R15 - and was balanced and aligned front and rear. only had to purchase tyres as some lowlife had slashed all four of my previous set way before replacement. I'm not a slow driver, nor am i a particularly "sane" driver.… Read more

they do hold their own if its normal driving on asphalt but as soon as the thought of any liquid (rain, runoff from someones driveway, a spilt frozen coke from maccas, etc.) they will not grip at all. any sort of power past a medium speed will spin the tyres effortlessly. i have been a bad boy and left some rubber behind a few times but i have yet to lose any tread. at 5,000kms in i was amazed to see no tread wear either front and back with no tyre rotation as of this review.

i am also concerned with the howling road noise at 40kmh, only getting deafening at 80kmh, and my radio has competed for decibels at highway speeds up to 110kmh.

so i guess they're good if you're on budget, selling a car and need "new" tyres to entice a sucker to buy it, or if your drift missile/burnout car needs tyres for "roadworthy" or to clear defects.

Good tyres both wet and dry – I dont understand some people, I drive a SV8 commodore, can really put demand on these tyres, yeah sure they ain't Bridgestones however made by Bridgestone, In wet conditions 4 out of 5, they are fair in round abouts. Dry conditions same 4 out of 5, why 4 . Becouse you can hear them battlimg inder hard cornering.. my true opinion for a cheap tyre… Read more

they are value for money. Now either Bridgestone has improved on the tyres or they dont suit smaller cars.. i do have a 6 ltr v8 pushing them hard on the road.. some times under reasonable throttling they may make traction control kick in.. the tyres in question where made in 2016 if you're able to understand the tryre codings .. seems as they will last a good 30 40k I'm yet to do 20k. Yes for an unkown reason they carry bad reviews.. my thinking is maybe those people's may of had extremely expensive tyres prior to buying these, like Michelins or continentals or better, I think if that's the case that would be why they have high expectations from these tyres.

I don't and never would work for Bob Janes .. especially how he treats his father... but guys really these are good value for money.

Cheers.

Drive safely.

Better than the original fitment – I have installed a set of these on my Wife's 2011 Camry Hybrid after being impressed with a low profile version on my former Mercedes A160. I can say that those tyres were really good and much, much cheaper than the Michelin replacements that were specified for that car. Impressions on these tyres on a family sedan are that they handle a lot… Read more

better than the Dunlops that were fitted to the car when we purchased it. The Dunlops were probably the originals as the car has just ticked over 60,000. The extreme roll the car suffered from has gone and this is especially noticeable when breaking to a roundabout that has a curved approach. The Dunlops seemed to roll onto their sidewall and give a very uncomfortable understeer feeling. The All Rounder seems to hold up better under the sideways and braking load and the steering is more direct as the tyre seems to not deform as you turn.

I know this review talks a lot about the old tyre, on the Camry, however it is about comparison and this tyre seems to be very well suited to the car concerned. Time will tell on wear.

Terrible tyre. No wet grip at all! – Bought a set of these about a year ago. It didn't rain for some time afterward and the tyre which was reasonably cheap, performed ok. Not great, but ok in the dry. As soon as you encounter any liquid on the road the grip is reduced to virtually zero. Tiny touch of the accelerator causes instant wheelspin. Driving around corners produces front end… Read more

wash. (Nissan 1.8 Tiida auto). I went back and just bought a new set of Bridgestones for the front. (I should have insisted on a complete refund.) Then without me realising it, some months later the garage who service the car rotated them onto the front. So the next time it rained I was back to square one. These tyres are absolutely dangerous. Especially for inexperienced drivers. Luckily I'm not but I've just replaced these with some Toyos. Never again!

A bit disappoint – Replaced two front tires for my MB C350 from Bob Jane T-Marts on 23 Feb 2022, Goodyear,225/40R19 93Y, showed bulge both tires for driving less than 9 months < 10,000 Km. I drive over & was told it was from the impact damage. I drive for over 30 years, and it never happens to me, I don't believe it. I am Bob Jane's regular customer, but I will not go to Bob Jane again. $740 for driving 9 months only Show details

Won’t recommend for friends to shop with it – I did bring my own rims there and together with newly bought tires in bob jane, and ask for installing the tires into my new rims but they were trying to tell me it requiring special lug nuts, even I told them I did try installing it at home by myself, there’s nothing special non requiring any special lug nuts. Finally, they didn’t help me to… Read more

They just do the job!!!! – Hello everyone I've been a loyal customer to Bob Jane's for many years and get great deals & service through them however the last set of tyres for my elantra which are allrounder are ok but I find that they don't grip well with the wet!!! Plenty of tread correct pressures etc still okay for a budget tyre!!! Show details

Good tyres!! – Had these fitted a year ago to a 2000 Toyota Corolla 1.8. Car is used every day on the highway in the mid Blue Mountans NSW. Tyres have been through all 4 seasons so far from 40c temps right down to medium snow. Car is driven sensibly on the speed limit all the time and in all conditions car has felt safe and secure. Tyres have completed about… Read more ·  1

25,000 kms so far and still have lots of tread left. Need tyres for the rear soon so will probably head back down to Bob Jane Penrith for a new set. Good service and employees there. Lots of negative reviews out there but on this car the tyres are performing well.

Worn out way to soon – The tyre itself is okay but the have worn in a quarter of the time compared to other tyres I have had on my car all of which cost about the same or less I am never going to get again and would warn you against them as a total waste of money Also not recommended for wet as they tend to loss traction probably could have caused an accident if it… Read more

Did not like. Just changed away from these and what a dramatic improvement – Decent traction for mild driving and lasted average life but handling, ride, noise and overall feel were all near unacceptable. I didn't enjoy driving the car with them. Bought the misses an Impreza which had these fitted and I thought I just didn't like driving the car. Put on a fresh set of Bridgestone Serenitys for winter and what an improvement! She's never fussed about such things but said it is like a new car. Show details

They Take Me Allround Australia – The tyres are good quality and are affordably priced. I have, when younger, purchased "cheaper" tyres only to find that I had to replace them often. After purchasing Bob Jane's All rounder, I was amazed at the difference in the handling of my car which, now, felt safer to drive. I have never considered purchasing another type or brand of tyre… Read more ·  2

because of the confidence they have given me, their durability and, of course, the quality and low cost. The teams at any Bob Jane T-Mart locations are always pleasant, skilled, knowledgeable about all their products and eager to provide good service. I can find no cons relating to this product.

B.J's All Rounder – I have had a problem with one tyre going down but it seemed to fix itself so I have no complaints. They are very sticky in most conditions and hug the road well. (I previously had Michelin's). They seem to be holding up well. This is my first set of B.J's.I like them. Show details ·  1

Terrible, all round – These were recommended to me when I went in to get some new tyres to go through the rego process. I will never touch them again, i can't even tell you how bad they are. The bad: 1. Wet performance is woeful. You can't turn a roundabout, you understeer like crazy. 2. Dry performance is okay, but squeal like a pig on a roundabout at a normal speed.… Read more

3. I find I'm having to put air in them a lot more than any other tyre I've had. I had to get them leak tested because its so frequent - but they were found to have no leaks. 4. I had these on for 8,000KM before I gave up on them and switched to a different tyre. Such a waste of money.3

The good: 1. Noise is minimal. Actually pretty good noise wise.

I do not recommend these tyres in any way.

It's an okay tire. Good for a punctured wheel exchange – I've been through two punctured tyres since the last 6 months and brought the car both times to Bob Jane. The owner was very helpful and recommended this one for me. I've been driving with these wheels and haven't had any particular issues. Show details ·  1

Good reliable tyre, does the job – I have a small hatch back and replace all tyres when suggested to do so with these. My most recent purchase was 3 days ago, and I have been buying these for around 5 years. They handle well in all weather conditions, I generally only drive in metro areas and I recommend them. Show details

Very bad quality tyres!!!! – I bought tyres not long ago and now I have 2 flat tyres. one of them became flat only 2 days after I bought them and they didn’t replace by making so much excuses and the other one just recently. They sell very bad quality tyres. If you want to throw your money in the rubbish bin buy tyres from them!!!! Show details

Didn't suit my car – I wasn't happy with them at all so went back to Bob Jane and with no fuss at all they swapped them all over for another brand which suits my car perfectly. While I didn't like the tyres I can't fault the service or the prices I got and will continue to recommend Bob Jane to my mates. A good job well done. Show details

Very Disappointing – Bought a full set of Bob Jane Allrounders as well as a front and rear alignment to help with the wear and life of the tyres from Bob Jane Cleveland. Extremely shocked after a service last week to be told the tyres need replacing after only 28 000klm’s. Our previous Hankook tyres lasted nearly 70 000klm’s. Would certainly never recommend Bob Jane Allrounders or their stores if an alignment only gives this type of lifespan. Show details

Less that 20,000 klms and they are worn out !! – I bought four of these for my daughters Astra mid last year and now they are already worn out well before time, in that time the car has traveled less than 20,000 klms. Rubbish tyres, I won't be buying these again, and I am even reluctant to go back to Bob Jane.  Show details

Still a good tyre – Had a few over the years, mainly on Magnas and Corollas not a bad tyre. Could be better in the wet. Being cheaper tyres mainly good for lower powered cars and poking around town. Obviously these are for the drive thru not the track They are suppose to be still made by Bridgestone.  Show details

Not as good as the old days – I got a pair of these for the wife's car and I should have done a bit more reading because they are nowhere near as good as the old days. When I asked they explained that manufacturing had changed countries. I can only treat these as "OK" these days. The tread depth from new is much less and the road noise was noticeable immediately. We will see if that settles down (it could) but I am less than impressed with the tread  Show details

Good value with lifetimee rotations – I really like Bob Janes approach with the lifetime free tyre rotations. We were definitely influenced by this when buying because it makes a huge difference to uneven wear. I didn't notice any immediate difference once they were on but reading around, they are well regarded for budget tyres and everyone knows Bob Jane, so I feel good about the choice. Good friendly staff and quick service. I am set for the next five years!  Show details

Good enough tyres - not the best – Got these for replacements for the wife's i30. Immediately noticed they were noisier than the Hankooks it came with. Waited a while to let them bed in but they are still noisier. Grip is OK nothing flash and grip in the wet is not as good IMHO. I think they might have changed the manufacture country because they are different to the last lot I got. Expect a world of average!  Show details

All Rounder is apt description....but are they round? – Bought 2 front tyres from Bob Jane in January this year. At the same time they suggested a wheel alignment which I agreed to. The tyres seem to be wearing evenly but I was a little annoyed that the tyre fitters put short valve stems in the rims which make it very difficult to inflate the tyres. Have to actualy remove the dress rims for tyre… Read more

3 months in and going strong! – I'm a sucker for going around roundabouts a little fast and wearing down my tyres in less than 12 months. But the man at Bob Jane promised me these would last 12 with normal driving. 3 months in and i just had them checked for the 10,000km booking... they are doing great! Great price, solid build and looking amazing.  Show details
