Anyone ever heard of or used Kingrun tyres?
One dealer told me that they're a Pirelli product.
I heard Pirelli was bought over by the chinese, but can't find a link between them and Kingrun tyres.

[WestIndian424]

Any truck men in here? Need some 7.50 LT 16

[ru$$ell]

^you can get that almost anywhere man,mostly highway thread though.That's what i'm currently running on my Defender

Sure man, just like Evergreen is made by Michelin.

Basically Michelins and Pirellis at 1/8 the cost. Dealer got your back.

Saw some place in cunupia selling "keter" and "doubleking" tyres. Anyone use these at all?

Thousands of cars running these cheap arse chinese tyres of all brands so its pointless to say they're a waste. Its almost all you can get and most people only see dollar signs for their wallet. If you drive sensibly then you should be fine.

Sometimes i feel like an idiot when i tell people about grip and hydroplaning and general safety when they proudly display their 4 for $1000 tyres and I get laughed at for my $600 each Dunlops and previous $900 Kumhos.

As i see it, if you thinking about chinese tyres, doh even ask for a review. Just do it. Seems to work well for most. Whats a brand name really.

From the time I hear "good cheap" Meh ears lock off any audible sounds from their mouths after

[X_Factor]

anyone tried those keter tires? at less than 300 for a 15inch, i am considering it

i would rather buy a reputable brand f.used but the quality is poor as of recently and its like180-200 for a f.used
present pair struggling to make 5 mths with good alignment and tire pressure checked every 2wks

i gonna try the keter brand when they get the size in stock...for roughly 700.00 after balanced and installed
seems pretty good for a econobox nissan note

potenza S001 runflat
255/35/19 rear
225/45/19 front

this available local or nah?

still waiting on the tire experts here, seeing as dey clearly present

[skylinechild]

need new tyres soon...considering these brands - in no specific order
1.firestone
2. maxxis
3. hankook
4.kumho

pros cons of each and what would u recommend and why

commute is from pos to central.

[kamakazi]

Get the cheapest out of any brand you listed their as they should all be decent.... Except the kumho if it's a car tyre. Kumho car tyres I find ride pretty hard.
Non directional tyres allow more tyre rotating options. I usually press my thumb against the side wall to get a feel of how comfortable the tyre will be, with the softer side wall generally providing a more comfortable ride.

[X_Factor]

bridgestone also have a few options
call kamus muffler in barataria, they stock the firestone and bridgestone
prices are pretty decent as well

[gastly369]

Had some good experience with the maxxis z3 tires

well i dont drive that much and im no speed racer so i guess i will give them a go. its just to save me some money till i can afford better

[Dave]

Ohtsu is Falkens cheaper brand and the reviews are quite good also. Not sure if they made their way locally as yet

My dad purchased some sumitomo tyres at 200$ for one(new) a while back... The scariest tyre I have ever driven on. I learnt everything there is to learn about driving on those tyres. Manual ABS, how to drive out of a skid with a fwd, get all your braking done before the corner. The scary thing is when it have all these drivers around you with the hardest rubber available and an emergency situation arises. You with decent tyres will stop... Everyone around you might use you for target practice. Tread depth does not equal grip
Ever green is not made by Michelin.
Not all tyres made by reputable brands are good.

Tyres that I avoid
Sumitomo t4
Bridgestone dueler 840
Roadstone cp661
Chinese tyres that have no history in any sport/motorsport

[X_Factor]

thats one of the problems we have, we spend 3-500 on a tire but expect performance of a re11 or ventus v12 ect
i know when i purchase the tire for 3-500.00 i expect a basic econo tire with no big grippy performance so i will just drive accordingly

which leads to the other fact, why buy a sports car or modded car and then bawling to spend 5-6k on a decent set of tires?
but when you spin out, cant get traction etc on the 500 and under tire...the tire is crap...
smh

noted - its for my car.... i' tend to stay away from the cheapest models from any brand as they may not be able to handle what i go through sometimes.

kumho is supposed to be a good tyre from what ive heard....

bridgestone also have a few options
call kamus muffler in barataria, they stock the firestone and bridgestone
prices are pretty decent as well

kamus location in chaguanas stocks firestone and kumho....plus thats where i get my discount from. but good looking out.

Had some good experience with the maxxis z3 tires

currently have on Maxxis MA-z4

hankook Ventus self is what i was considering...weighing my option of those against the maxxis.

[Ted_v2]

I bought two sets of those keter tires for my two vehicles. Tires wear pretty quietly. Not noisy and expels water very good.

For my two economy cars they work perfect, going in one year for one set and a couple months for the other.

If one foot stopping distance is the difference between life and death...I will be glad that i gave myself a chance at life...

Kamikazi hit it on the head here... I agonize over tyres in my car because it's the four patches between life and death and yet when I stop at a traffic light and look at any of the other cars tyres around me, it's 90% Chinese. I can stop to maybe save another guy/gal life and they will kill me because they can't? Look ting...
