Triangle Tires are dangerous and a waste of time. Cut unevenly, inferior base material etc.

Highly dangerous in the wet, hydroplaning, car pulling to the side etc.

They ok in the dry though.

Have these on my first car when i bought it. Unfortunately i didn't know much about the brand so i mostly use the the car when rain not falling or where there's newly paved stretches of the highway.

Wanna change them out for a better brand soon which safer to use in the wet though cuz sometimes you get caught in the rain unexpectedly or an emergency comes up.

it will all depend on ur budget per tire
if you say--600 per tire, ur pretty much scraping the barrel
if you say 1000 per tire, then you have better options
you will also need to say the size of tire you need

The CP641 Roadstone lasted very long but grip was not all that for me. Especially in wet. That tyre used to rel skate and hydroplane.
