I recently was tyre shopping and noticed a lot of promotions of Chinese, Thailand made Tyres. The rubber compound and thread pattern
look similar to the Well know branded ones. Anyone tried any of these ? Looking for some real data usage, i.e. Dry/Wet weather grip.
Thread wear etc.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.

How much you save per tyre? 50? 100?

Is it worth risking you and your family life for 50 bucks 100 bucks? Dunlop j6 series is already very cheap and at least branded and made in Malaysia, where we are rubber expert

My sibling uses Lion something brand from China on a Myvi, after 50K km still has about 4 mm tread thickness left.

I would expect it could last 80-90K km easily.

Associating tyres made in Thailand or China to risk and life threathening is so un-science and arbitrarily imho when 'soil' from the back of Moon has been collected and scrutinised in laboratories on mother earth.

Its not about risking live or whatever. The question is to gauge how the China Tyres compare. All new products from any country will need exposure
before they get market share.

Thanks for your feedback

Will research this 'LION' brand. Thank you

Anyone knows which tyre other than Continental selling self healing tyres? Size 15

i have used some of the budget segment china tires.. they are cheap.. i generally use these for abuse purpose, drifting and etc. i can say that some of these tires look like a popular make tire but the similarities stop there. These tires are ok ok on the dry, on the wet the character of the tire is unpredictable. not alot of feed back of the grip breakaway moment. so on the wet the grip is more like a switch instead of being progressive.

the upside of these tires is the compound is hardy, it can take alot of abuse and you get alot of life from em. hope this helps

Giti brand (china) seems ok which use in Proton i guess.
but the price quite the same or cheap abit compare to those branded.

My experience with china tyre is that they dont have good grip on wet. Dry is acceptable. this was long time ago and I think their tech should mature more now.

Unless you're doing hardspirited driving I think a china tyre is still better than botak tyre.

You can consider Hankook as my experience their wet & dry grip is excellent at their price point.

Thank you all for the feedback. IF anyone else has additonal FB, would like to hear from you.

Have a great day.

i have friends on Giti, its pretty decent. the Sport S2

yeah. i heard from my friend as well...just lately their price already yahudi price...
so up to TS then

how about this tyre?

many shop selling this

Not sure about the model you referenced, but I am using the Racng Pro model.

Name sounds very canggih, but in actual use, it isn't a high performance, UHP kind of tyre. Using the 223/55R17 size, and man, the sidewalls are soft. So soft that at car recommended tyre pressure of 240kPa, it will look macam pancit. Got up the pressure to 280kPa to be normal looking.

Not just the pressure side, even the performance side is confirmed to be a touring tyre despite the canggih model name. Smooth, comfortable and QUIET are its main forte. I dare say it is more quiet than Primacy 3ST.

Chose this coz the Rovelo Sports A1 XL at the rear developed steel-belt failure aka pregnant at thread area during CNY. So changed out 2 Rovelo and in with the Powertrac.

So one should not expect these low budget tyres to be high performance type despite their glamourous model series/names. I Knew that from onset but tried them nonetheless as the car on these tyres is chalking very low mileage; no point putting on P4/MC7/005A/VP4 etc.

Interesting note. Good info. Thanks

TS should consider Giti , used the 280 series in E90, had lasted more than 40k km, good dry and wet grip. Pretty hard to find

Thank you will research

Support Giti S2

If possible take those Chinese brand that they have owned factory instead of OEM factory.

OEM tyre factory can put any brand as long as you willing to order few containers tyre. They can print the brand name on tyre sidewall Dalexand Tyre, Lowyat Tyre, Jibby Tyre and all kind of funny brand name.

These following brands are reputable and reliable. Zhongce Rubber, Sailun group, Cheng Shin Tires, Ling Long and Giti.

be interesting to know if they use an OEM factory. Think they must have own with R&D all.

Thanks
