I've allways had bridgestone tyres on my bmw but after hitting non stop pot holes and damaging them I decided to opt for budget what can I say other than these tyres are excellent . super smooth and grippy noise level has 80% improved over my bridgestones and there that cheap I'm not bothered if there get damaged with the pot holes these tyres live up to any top brand name I'll be buying them again that's for sure

Very good tyres, but do not "overdrive" on wet surfaces (sharp turns, emergency breaking. Otherwise--very good)

I bought these tyre in haste. I was on the M6 Motorway in the midlands, England. There was a 50mph speed restriction owing to the endless roadworks. I hit a really rough patch of road and the tyre vibration and loss of control was scary. Having arrived at my destination I ordered four Nereus N601 tyres online from ctyres-online via Ebay UK. As soon as I had paid, I was starting to have reservations. I couldn't find any reference to this maker. I eventually found out that the are the exact same tyre as the well-regarded 'Firemax' brand. They were on the delivery van early the next day (I ordered them late Friday evening. Amazingly they arrived 10 (ten) hours later. A truly great service from ctryres-online. This is also their Ebay seller-name btw. I fit them myself and had them all balanced at Burnley Tyre & Battery. A great company if you are ever in the East Lancashire area. Since then I have noted the following qualities: Tyre Noise: is notably an improvement over my last tyres (Toyo Nano). No 'roar' to be heard on the concrete road surfaces that are common around the Stoke on Trent area. Wet weather: handling and stopping are excellent. I lent my car out to a friend who drives in hill climbing events at a semi-pro level. He happily drove around most of England - 1800 miles in early February delivering essential medication during the 2021 Covid epidemic. He spotted the tyre make after eight days and is now sold on the Nereus tyre brand. He is obviously a far better driver than myself, so I trust his judgement. Dry weather: is also remarkably good. They feel very safe and the 'wander' that the 'Toyo' tyres had is now completely cured. Fuel Consumption: Not absolutely sure, but my fuel log (I am a very boring person-approaching a boring person score that rivals snooker ace Steve Davis) shows a one mpg improvement over the outgoing tyres. Handling: in all circumstances seems to be very good. Street Cred: is obviously zero, but who cares about what other people think? I used to sell used hot-hatch-type cars in the nineties. Not one buyer noticed or remarked on tyre make or even if they had a mix of different brands on the same car. Maybe, with the advent of the internet, it may be a different tale... To conclude, these tyres are around a 90% cash saving over the well known branded tyres. They are a safe tyre with seemingly good wear/handling/grip characteristics. Another point. if you don't like spending money on tyre fitting/balancing is to do as I have and invest in tyre fitting/balancing equipment. It is an easy DIY task and you should recoup after around two or three complete tyre changes. I also do my own wheel-alignment too. Buy decent quality used stuff and you should be able to do so for a few £100s. Finally, If you buy direct from Ctyres who are based in Hinkley they should arrive within two days, in a decent cardboard box that your cat will love and save about 15% over buying via an online auction website :-)
