Tyre choice help

[Anotrin]

Ok tuners I need some assistance in choosing a tyre here. Replacing tyres in stock 14 rims. Need highway type treadwear. The options I have are dunlops yom 2013 tread 340 trac and temp A -set 500 each.or Bridgestone potenza yom 2011 tread 180 temp and trac A-@ 525 . Dunlops have better figures on paper but some tyre guy was telling me that bridgestones made in costa rica are of lower quality than thr japanese dunlops. I need sone help possibly from users of these said tyres.any reviews would be appreciated.
Thanks

Recommendations? Anyone

I had a pair of 14" dunlops that lasted 13 months, that was presha yes, was expecting a 2 years out of them. I agree tyres are manufactured in different locations and vary when it comes to lifespan, but how can we tell the location a tyre was manufactured. Also had some 14" BF Goodrich that lasted 14 months...
Right now I have four Bridgestone Dueler on my van, two was bought by one place and six months after other two by another and it seems that one pair is wearing out more than the other...

maxxis victra z4s or the lower threadware ma-z1 i think is the code, cheap and works very well, for traction both are AA, they are 420 and 280thwr respective

^ I can attest to the victra z4s. Been using them for more than 18 months now on my vehicle, and the front tyres have somewhat worn down, but the back tyres are still in surprisingly good condition. Compared to where I would normally change tyres every 12 months, it's definitely good life for their cost.

I use the ma-z1 best performance tyre on a budget. Excellent traction in the wet.

[Anotrin]

Whas the price on one of those and where

[d_sunnyboi]

there are evo's that use the ma-z1 in drag and wind, initially i wanted the ma-z1 but did not get them as the person i was buying it from was out of stock, but from experiencing the z4s which works excellent, in braking, acceleration and cornering i could imagine how well the ma-z1 will work.

I buy from a dealer in south Singh's 380-6626

Check elvin's rim world.... They carry 'Rapid' brand and its very durable and price is affordable... If you want the best and money isnt an issue they also have the maxxis brand... (Best tyre i ever used)....

I think Rapid is one of those cheap brands. And Maxxis are cheaper than Dunlop, last longer and grip just as well. Singh in Charlo Village is the distributor

any1 knows the price of those Maxxis, 205-40-17 / 215-45-17 ?

I can see how you would think this when moving from Rapid to Maxxis.

Thanks for the info and those links. Seems that I shus get the bridgestone despite the low treadwear rating. Traction is more imp than longevity. 2yr old tyre canr be that bad right!

I had had Donlop dz101's on my car for two years and i drive allot.
Made aprox. 65k + miles on them.

[Anotrin]

Had those and currently have dunlops on my pickup.they are great but on wet roads scary. If it weren't for that aspect I would buy them again.

How d ask everyone does bawl tyres scary in the wet? Slow thefackdown steups. I know alot of 101 users who have no complaints from speed demons to grandma drivers.
I guess driving within the limit of the car is hard to do

[powerbass12]

Anybody no where I could get Diamound back tyres ASAP ?

[Anotrin]

Driving at 30km is breakneck speed I agree. Just bought the potenza will swe how it holds up.

[Strugglerzinc]

Scary at 30kph does not compute on ANY tyre.

[Anotrin]

Which is why you would not expect a tyre to fail at traction.

[cinco]

Never had an issue at 30kmph on direzzas. Of course i wouldnt drive 30km tru standing water either
