Hi Guys

I was told I could consider China made tyres as its cheaper. Anyone has comments abt it? I am not particular abt tyres as my vehicle is mainly to get from point A to B. 

I usually go for Yokohama (JP) basic model but seems like its slightly cheaper for those made in China but under an ok brand. 

Any safety concerns encountered?

Frankly some michelin, continental etc are also china made. Recently I asked for quote for a michelin. No difference in pricing between china and europe versions.

My take is if it's not fake, any country made is ok. U can check whether is it agent or PI stock. If agent, then cant be fake ba.

Yes. Because. There are almost no fake tyres around The world. Its almost impossible to find. 

Its not worth it for any factory to make fake tyres.

The only issue is the DOM. make sure u get the fresh tyres.

And unless u are tyre guru . U know what u want. If not u might buy the wrong model.

For example u dun want to buy all season tyres. Or tyres that can drive on snow for SG.

Yup. This model not bad. Quiet  and proper grip. The only thing is not really lasting.

But if for the same price can get a bridgestone or goodyear why not?

The 3 choices u put. I will take the turanza. 

Assurance is more for long lasting. 

The only goodyear model i will take is asymmetric f1.
