The largest and best-selling category, and Minerva F205 XL belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

The braking distance on wet surfaces is much longer compared to its peers. My 2016 Insignia was sliding from the back when I took sharp turns on dry roads, even though it's front-wheel drive. I switched to Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 and it became perfect.

Very impressed!!!
For the cheap price with my car MG4 Xpower that have 4WD 435HP and 600nm toque these tire can take it and no slip, And very very comfort event high tire pressure. The grip and brake is better than BS Turanza and close to top tier brand.

Minerva F205 Tire Review: A Performance Gap Between Seasons
After testing the Minerva F205, I have reached a clear conclusion regarding its seasonal performance.
The Downside (Winter Performance): I do NOT recommend these tires for countries with harsh winters. On icy or wet winter roads, the traction is poor. I personally experienced my vehicle spinning while other cars maintained their grip. The tire compound seems to harden in the cold, making it quite dangerous on slippery surfaces.
The Upside (Summer Performance): In warmer seasons, the F205 performs like a top-tier tire. It is quiet, provides a smooth ride, and is highly cost-effective. If you only drive in warm conditions, the "price-to-performance" ratio is unbeatable.
Recommendation: This tire is perfect for tropical climates or regions where temperatures stay above zero. For everyone else, please ensure you switch to winter tires during the cold months, or avoid the F205 for year-round use.

These came with the car I bought. I though these would be horrible budget tires but they seems to be pretty OK all-rounders. Never had any issues with them on even at heavy rain. The grip is good, at least for normal city and highway driving. These are quite comfortable and the noise level is OK too. If you are on tight budget these are not that bad.
