Delinte DH2 review
The Delinte DH2 is widely regarded as a capable budget-friendly tire that offers surprising performance for its price point, particularly in dry conditions. While most users find them to be a reliable value option for daily commuting, some report concerns regarding long-term durability, sidewall stiffness, and a noticeable decline in wet-weather traction as temperatures drop.
Owners rate it 12.8 points higher than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.

Pros
- Excellent value for the price point
- Reliable dry-weather grip and handling
- Surprisingly capable performance for a budget-tier tire
- Progressive handling characteristics near the limit
Cons
- Reduced traction in cold or wet conditions
- Reports of premature sidewall failure or bubbling
- Increased road noise and vibration after significant mileage
- Soft sidewalls can lead to a less precise steering feel
Worth knowing
- Users with high-torque or RWD vehicles noted that the tires perform adequately but may feel soft due to sidewall flex.
- Drivers of AWD vehicles reported high satisfaction with grip and handling, suggesting the tire pairs well with all-wheel-drive systems.
- Some users noted that the tires appear to have a 'flat' look even when properly inflated, likely due to the specific sidewall construction.
