I don't actually think anyone has ever posted a thread like that though. If you drive like a 
, chances are you'll end up crashing & the having best tyres in the world wont help. I've literally put a car in a ditch many moons ago (M60 Junction 8 - Sale Water Park & heading towards Jacksons Boat if anyone knows it) & I'd say it was the result of 99% driving error & 1% tyres.
For 99% of people, 99% of the time, the "ok" tyres will be just fine.

Has anyone had their opinion changed since the start of this thread? I doubt it.
Just accept some people's choices are different to others.
It's time to let the thread drop away and move on, which wont happen, but wishful thinking.
You don't have to post on this thread so might be easier if you drop away and move on then all your wishes would come true.Just accept some people's choices are different to others.

ob done. If true, far from being silly a whole lot more people have now heard of them who otherwise hadn't, me included. For free.
And remember a lot of those people will be viewers rather than posters and might just take a more relaxed stance re trying them out.
I love the fact some folk smell a rat, call the rat out then pat themselves on the back for it, like it makes any difference. The non believers won't be swayed, the open minded will stay open minded. But Davanti have been at the top of the forum for a week. Other companies pay for that privilege.
And they can't be arsed to answer an Email I sent at the beginning of the week ...Bad Show Davanti.And remember a lot of those people will be viewers rather than posters and might just take a more relaxed stance re trying them out.

You've been a member of this forum for 3.5 years. You've made 31 posts in total, with 29 in this thread.
It does seem hugely strange that someone that has barely had any activity on the forum suddenly becomes very active about fitting tyres. There's hundreds of brands of tyres, with names popping up all the time, and changing tyres is a common job for car users.
Why these tyres have stirred you up so much makes little sense. Even when you've been actively posting in this thread, you've still not posted in any other thread when on.
I'm sure most people are reading this and thinking you've got a motive as your behaviour isn't normal.

All my past cars was nothing to talk about but now I do have a car worth talking about and care about I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread on PH. I have been a member on various other forums that would make your post count look low so I would be more happier if you keep your speculation to yourself or refrain posting on my thread.
I would not think posting on a car forum in regards to a brand of tyre would be abnormal behaviour more so abnormal is your above post which is nothing to do with tyres and is just about trying to convince yourself is a matter of fact.
Please no need to reply as your posts bore me and probably many more members.
AGAIN just for you I have no connections with Davanti nor work own have any shares in the company and my initial post was a genuine enquiry.

I think it's advice you are looking for; you've had some:
"Don't bother with cheap tyres from a brand nobody's ever heard of. They're more than likely st and it isn't worth the risk."
Advise from people as yourself is useless and pointless, you have obviously never heard of yet alone had the opportunity to test the Davanti brand so how you can "Assume" they are crap takes me back 18 pages of this thread."Don't bother with cheap tyres from a brand nobody's ever heard of. They're more than likely s
t and it isn't worth the risk."I think it is only a matter of time we will get the real advise from those people who have real world testing and more so magazines and more tyre reviews from online independent websites.

Just because you post, it doesn't mean you have any connections with the company. However given your previous participation on the forum, it does look very odd that you suddenly want to discus an unknown brand in so much depth. There's hundreds of other brands out there, it's strange that this one brand means so much to you.
I never said that it was unusual for someone to post about tyres on a car forum. It is unusual to see someone that had only posted 2 times in 3.5 years, suddenly become passionate about an unheard of brand of tyre. Tyre threads normally die after a few pages, not run on for countless pages with a defensive OP.
There's hundreds of unknown brands and there's also lots of tried, tested and trusted tyres. If you're really that concerned, but something that is a known quantity.
Did your previous cars not need tyres?
Unless I've missed it, you've not actually said anything about this new car you're proud of. I can't see any threads about it or joining in the brand specific parts of the forum.
Stay out your thread? You are aware this is an open forum for anyone to post?
I didn't know I had to post a specific thread on a certain date as its an open forum as you have stated I posted a thread in regards to Davanti tyres asking was they any good as my tyre fitter has highly recommended them. No where have I said they are the dogs b@ll@cks buy them as like you I have never heard of them before hence why the post on here PH a car forum.I never said that it was unusual for someone to post about tyres on a car forum.

I have already stated I will most likely be getting the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 when the rear sizes start to come in stock for my car.
The car I drive at the moment is a BMW 535D F10 which currently booted with Goodyear Excellence Run Flats which I personally dislike ( A lot ).
Of course it is an open forum just look above people looking and marking you as you are in an English GSE class , Ok I made a mistake but no need for the prefect ( Mr Punctuation above )to come along and state that.

On the basis that no one this thread has any link to devanti i assume we shall we conclude they are generic Chinese tyres with average at best potential until a trustworthy objective test proves otherwise?
Did you miss the post on page 20 what the Davanti Engineer posted?How can I conclude they are average at best, I have no evidence to back that up. Now I do hope they are good or even above average as pricing looks sensible.

Seriously ? Why spend the cash on a 535d and then put cheap tyres on it - does not compute.
Would you say £100 plus a corner was cheap tyres? and please don't say they are crap unless you have actually had some fitted yourself.I'm no spring pup anymore and my by racing days have long gone and even if I dislike these tyres for what "I" paid for them or should I say what "I" didn't pay for them another brand of tyre in the summer wouldn't hurt my pocket.Edited by ljw2k on Tuesday 9th February 02:43
