Winrun R330
86 reviews
Tyres had been used for 2,400 km of "normal" highway driving (Subaru Forester diesel) and had worn to the point where the remaining tread depth was 5.4 mm (ie, to bottom of grooves, not just to the wear indicators). The rate of wear was the same across the tread of each tyre and for all 4 tyres. At this rate, assuming that the tread depth was 8… Read more
mm when new, the tyres would be worn down to the wear indicators at about 6,300 km. If original depth was actually 9 mm, they would be illegal at just over 5,000 km. For comparison, I have Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport tyres on my other Forester and it looks like I will get over 60,000 km from those with the same driving conditions - three times the cost, but more than ten times the distance. I believe that the tyres were not cured properly in the manufacturing process and this has led to the excessive rate of wear. I made a claim for refund through the retailer. I provided all the details that they requested including photos of the tyres and video of me measuring the tread depth. After more than a month of deliberation, my claim was rejected. The best they are prepared to offer is 20% discount on another set of 4 new tyres. You don't always get what you pay for - sometimes you get far, far less!
Edit: Note the extreme variation in reviews. This further points to poor quality control in the manufacturing process. A case of hit or miss as to whether you get a good set of tyres.

yeh they are cheap, but fall apart after 2 years (25,000k). Started to pull away from the bead of the tyre on the inside edges, frequently rotate my tyres and happening on both the back ones. Haven't even been towing with them or thrashing it. Save your money and get something better, might be twice the price but will last twice as long without the excitement of a delam. Show details
Purchased Winrun R330's for my 430i, seemed ok but noticed a lot of lead weights to balance them on my rims. 20 months and 20,000 km later right rear completely delaminated while driving. Tyre shop assessed tyres and other three were worn on inner edge and illegal even though full alignment was done when fitting. Also said Winrun only offer 12… Read more
month warranty. They were half the cost of other makes of similar run flat tyres so anticipated they would not be that good but in reality they are terrible and although cheap, a waste of money. Do not purchase.

Why "Made in China" doesn't matter in 2024 – In 2024, the phrase “Made in China” is not as important as it once was, especially in industries like tires. Many of the tires we trust and are familiar with actually come from Chinese factories. For example, Winrun is a Chinese tire brand that uses German technology to create its products. I recently switched from Pirelli P Zero tires on my… Read more
Porsche Macan S to Winrun R 330 tires. The Winrun R 330 has an asymmetric ultra-high-performance pattern and is made with a modern silica compound. The price for a 295/40R/20 tire is $165, which is much lower than the approximately $500 for other well-known brands.
This shift in perception is important. As consumers look for quality and value, they may find that some lesser-known brands offer competitive products without the high price tag. So, it's worth considering options like Winrun, which might just surprise you with their performance and savings.
Here is a link to a brief yet highly informative video presented by a tire expert.
Winrun – Worst tyre I have ever had at 80 ks an hour the rumble was horrendous 110 ks an hour could not do that speed for the vibration they are cheap for a reason got them swapped for a set of falken what a difference tyre of the rim u can push them in half no strength in wall or tread what so ever they should be out lawed don’t waste your hard earned on these sub par so called tyres 235/65/17 dangerous at best Show details
DONT FALL FOR THESE REVIEWS – Ok facts: Have used all sorts of tyres over the years, these are the worst I've used. Been on the car 12 months so far because I'm broke & can't afford to replace them...... *After 12 months has developed bad vibration, even after rotating *Horrible squeeling when cornering *Horrible traction when wet, not much better dry *They don't seem to… Read more
balance well going by the extra amount of weights placed in the wheel *Only recently noticed 1 tyre sidewall is failing, the other 3 don't give me ANY confidence now.
Hopefully this review stays up

Quality and performance from China at a very good price – Winrun R 330 UTQG 420 A A 225/55R16 Silica compound asymmetric pattern slightly soft compound I've been running on my Holden VU ute fitted with FE3 sports suspension for close to 10,000km. There have been no balance issues and wear has been minimal so those claiming only getting 6,000km out of a set must be driving like lunatics and never got a… Read more
wheel alignment. I live in the hills and take the corners pretty much like a tradie on the way home on Friday arvo before a long weekend. Handling wet and dry very good. Have done one full braking effort down hill on a 17% gradient when coming around the corner at 80kph to find a truck across the road...pulled up with no drama and did not break traction. Might actually be quieter than prior Bridgestones or I'm going deafer. First set of Chinese tyres motivated by extraordinary pricing compared to Michelins and Bridgestones previously purchased on my vehicles. I have not been disappointed.
TyreSales online purchase – I purchased these tyres [245-35-19] though the Tyersales online outlet as they had good reviews and at a decent affordable price for the klms I do a year [under 8000]. A few days after paying I was sent an email that the tyres were in transit to the fitter address, then was sent another stating they had arrived at the fitter, so rang fitter only… Read more · 2
to be told NO they were not in their workshop and that the deliver will be at least another week. So waited the received a text [week later] that the tyre were at the fitter, so rang fitter again to be told yet again NO tyres in their work shop and to wait. Next day received a phone call from fitter say the tyres were in their workshop and to come in the following morning for fitting, balance and 4 wheel alignment. This was performed without hassle and was away in an hour, with no complaints with the fitter what so ever. It seems that Tyresale are a little laxed in their communication with their customers, maybe not all but was certainly so in my case. The Tyres, so far I have no concerns in dry and recently wet conditions, they are not noisy and DONOT squeal on smooth concrete [ undercover carparks]. Now to see how many klms I get out of them.
Very good tyre for the price – Had a set of Winrun R330's put on the car (2011 VE SV6 Wagon) after changing from standard 18" rims with Yokohama S221 tryes to a 20" Simmons rims (9.5" 275x35x20 rears - 8.5" 245x30x20 fronts.) First thing I noticed about the Winruns was they had much much less road noise than the Yokohama's, especially under braking. The grip is fantastic in… Read more
both wet and dry conditions. Not once have I felt any understeer or oversteer in dry or wet conditions and are very responsive to any steering input. I did have bad inside tread wear on both of the rear tyres after approx 10 thousand k's. I will put that down to the size of the rear rims on my car, underinflation or a bad wheel alignment than to blame the tyre itself. I replaced the rears with the same tyres as I am more than pleased with the R330's performance. In my opinion they're a better tyre than the Yokohama S221 and the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's and they're half the price. I won't use another tyre on the rims I have on this car now I've tried these.

Great tyres – Have been using these for a bit over a year now.Im a Chauffeur and honestly these are the best tyres I've had in the last 30 years.The original continentals lasted 42000km .These so far have done 73000km and I reckon they still have about 15 to 20k left.For those who say they only last a few thousand km I strongly advise you to go and get your… Read more
shockers checked.After 73000km still quiet and handle wet and dry conditions as if new.Will definately buy again.
Winrun Value for Money – Bought the tyres through Tyroola. They were very helpful. These tyres have out-performed given the price. Had them on 3 cars. X5 F15 as run flats. Ford Focus ST Mk3.5 and Calais V International. These are an excellent every day sensible wet & dry tyre, that performs and wears well. If you commute to work and back, do highway runs, and maybe have… Read more
a spirited run every now and then, these wont let you down, just don't expect them to perform like a $500 tyre.
Don’t believe all reviews – Have just fitted a full set with alignment to our 2017 Subaru Liberty Premium and am totally satisfied with them.Super quiet,great traction in wet and dry conditions (Brisbane is having heavy rain at present)and I’ll monitor wear later.Purchased and fitted at Hacketts Discount Tyres,great people to deal with.

Negative reviews
Poor quality control – Far too easy to lose traction in the wet and slide. The quality control is also poor. My car was pulling to the left with brand new tyres, rotating the tyres around corrected this. Show details
GREAT for drifting (safely, at a track), TERRIBLE for road safety – They have absolutely HORRENDOUS grip in the wet. My relatively underpowered 152kw RWD vehicle is trivially easy to lose traction- my traction control kicks in every time at 30km/h accelerating in second gear on a roundabout or sharp turn. When brand new, they grip much worse than illegal tread, bald continentals. They are a death trap in an older… Read more
RWD vehicle without traction control its almost guaranteed youll get into an accident. On dry conditions, they are barely functional but I can still squeal them at low speeds.
HOWEVER I do recommend these as a cheap set of 'fun' tyres to take to a drifting session at a dedicated skid pan because they are so so easy to initiate a powerslide with at a low, safe speed.
Noisy tyres – Just purchased a new set of 19” tyres for my 2016 Tuscon. These tyres are the noisiest tyres I have ever owned. We do a lot of highway miles with annoying noise levels so I wouldn’t recommend them or buy again. Show details

Winrun, Much better than some premium tyres – Excellent and quality tyres made in China. Much better than many medium and some premium tyres offered at 4x price. I've had them for 40000km and there is still 50% thread left. Tyres performed excellent in all weather condition. These are the best tyres I've ever had. I had continental and kumho. I'm surprised to see how well winrun are… Read more
performing.
There are good products made in China and bad products made in China.
Just like there are good products made in USA and bad products made in USA.
It all depends on the quality control. IPhones are made in China too.
Winrun is an excellent product and I'm happy with my tyres.
Just had my second pair fitted – A year ago I put a pair of R330s on the drive (front) wheels of my Mazda 3 SP25. These tyres are quiet and comfortable on the road. I found them very slightly under-steery brand new, but after wearing in they're plenty grippy, dry or wet. With my driving style I tend to be hard on front tyres (I take corners quickly and sometimes have a bit of a… Read more
lead-foot, but brake lightly where possible.) They are showing only a little bit of wear after ~20,000km, but the old back tyres were DEAD. I've just had the fronts rotated to the back and a new set fitted to the front.
So far I couldn't be happier with them. They're a great budget tyre.
Good tyres for the price – 2000ks driven 235/55/18 Ford Territory Turbo. Great dry grip and no noise complaint from me. Wet grip impressive, I found the limit pushing on a medium bend but they hung in as I corrected. Great allrounder good value. Show details
Dont buy – No Grip in the Rain had a tyre blowout 3 months into ownership when going back to Tyroola for a replacement they only made a payment based on the amount of tread left on the tyre turns out there's only 5mm left from the original 8mm..... after only 3 months of use... Looks like I'll be replacing these tyres in 4 more months. Also worth mentioning… Read more
they are terrible for balancing my beautiful rims look like a primary school art project with the amount of weights stuck on
Love them - three sets on three cars! – On our third set and love them.. we first had them on our 08 Mercedes ML which is a big heavy car and they where super quiet and 20,000 kms on when we sold the car where still going strong (passes RWC with ease). We were so happy we put them on our C200 also then when we purchased our next car which shortly after required new tyres it was a simple… Read more
decision. We are currently running the 255/35/20 on an XF Jaguar and they are faultless. Super quiet and comfortable compared to the continentals that were on it when we got it - and to be honest, if I only got 15,000 kms out of them each year it would still be a lot cheaper
Great tyres at great prices – Not sure why some people don't like these tyres. I believe it has to do with how they drive ,if you drive like your always in a race your tyres will not like it as they are not racing tyres. Also make sure that whoever installs them knows what they are doing. Has good grip wet and dry no noise and handles better than more expensive brands. Show details

Very good value ! – Bought Winrun for my Porsche Boxster rear tyres . Very good grip wet and dry , very quiet compared to the Khumo Esta 90 the car feels so much better on the road and feels planted . Wasn’t sure about using a Chinese tyre but would buy these again for sure excellent tyre ! Show details

commodore as been pricing tyres most are from $440 to $700 a tyre how stupid this been quote $140 a tyre so 2 cost me $280 1 will cost me $450 where the sense
Very good for the money - updated – Purchased from Tempe Tyres for $90 each fitted/balanced/disposal. Initial feel is very good, they feel smooth, complaint, quiet and grippy. Tread Wear Rating is 330, so should last longer than the Pirelli and Continental performance tyres that were on my car previously (260/280), but obviously wont grip as well. Tyre fitter used very little… Read more
weights to get them balanced. Tyre manufacture date is 11/22, so only 4 months old at time of fitting. I noticed at Tempe Tyres when I was there, that around 70-80% of the tyres getting fitted were Winrun.
Update: wearing well. I've noticed high speed (110kph +) stability isn't great. My car runs about 2 degrees or more of negative camber on the rear, so especially when the tyres were new the rear would feel quite loose when at motorway speed. I think most of the load was on the inner part of the tyre because of the camber and it felt a bit wandering.
Overall impression: Still very good for the money.
Great Tyre – I have had no problems with these tyres to date. I have travelled over 60000km (over 200kms each day) so far and they are only starting to show any real wear. I regularly get my tyres rotated and aligned and this has seen the tyres for so long. I think I could get at least another 20000kms out of them. They have sufficient grip in the wet and dry and the braking is fine. I can hear very little road noise from these tyres. Show details
Poor ..... everything! – Purchased Mazda 6 second hand and these came with the car, 225/55/R17. Had enough of the road noise, lack of comfort and from the attached pictures of both front tyres poor product / construction. They are disintegrating. Car travels around the city with the odd freeway drive. Upgrading to Bridgestone (would try Michelin Primacy if I could afford them). Show details
1st square tyres I've ever purchased – Cheap for a reason, replaced on 2019 colorado. Rims need heavy weights to be able to balance these tyres. Balanced twice so far, once when purchased and 2nd 4000km later, still shakes. They wear unevenly. Total rubbish Show details
Take time to wear in but when they do they are epic – they take time to wear in, me and my mates have used winrun for last 9 years after they out performed my Pirelli P1 at 3/4 of the price but they do take time to wear in as they're a flat type of tyre which is good for drag racing be easy on the corners for the first 2k Show details
Is a fine tire. Great price – Quite impressed with these on my BMW X5 275/45/20 Front 315/40/20 Rear. Bridgestone duelers qouted me 1450.00 on special. so i figured weighing more than 2.5 tonns i dont want to spend too much on brands, These are great , dont care how they are not lasting, as i can get three sets for the price of one. didnt even bother to get alignment. if you tell me bridge stones can last three sets of winruns i will pay for your set .

vibration city – i thought my 200 series Landcruiser could handle all road conditions. Winrun tyres proved me wrong. 3 x separate wheel balances, tyre rotations, pressure adjustments and many wasted hours could not get the vibration out of the new set of 285 Maxclaw tyres. The best i could do was take it in turns with which hand to hold the steering wheel as my… Read more
hands were going numb from the vibration. Finally i told the tyre shop that i refused to accept the Winrun tyres. The Winrun rep then stated that there was nothing wrong with the tyres. Wow. Are you telling me they are designed to do that!!!! If they knock around a 200 series Landcruiser, not sure how a smaller car would go with Winrun tyres.
save your money. save your time. stay away from Winrun.
