The issues regarding Made in China tyres. Many says its lousy, why?

 

What is the real issue that make the MIC tyres as 'not-recommended'.

I am thinking that the thread design is same, so cannot be thread design affecting the grip/noice level.

The redial belt carcass should also be the same no matter which factory its made in?

So the remaining unknown is the Tyre Rubber Compound mixture!!

 

Could the main reason be the compound that is mixed to suit the 40deg to -20deg temperature in China use? A wide range,60degs, of temperatures differences, so the rubber compound is not optimised for grips, but rather for longevity?

 

Whereas the Made in Indinesia/Malaysia tyres compound only have to cater for average 20 to 40deg temperature? A temp range of only 20deg, so it can have grippier compound for the tyres?

 

Any expert on chemicals and rubber for tyres?

 

1. Goodyear has F1 made in Germany initially. I thought their 4 seaons weather also kinda of extreme compared to SG right? But people claimed that MIC F1 tyre CMI?

 

2. So if based on your reasoning, Thai made F1 is even a better choice than those F1 made in Germany and made in China one? i.e. we assumed their compound used is more suited to SG weather.

Goodyear F1 is very very good except it is blady noisy, like having a helicopter below your car.
