Just wish michelin is this cheap in PH. They gave me the tires R18/265/60 for 46k each.

I wonder o.
Where will you get Michelin tire for 10k
Abeg, budget 60each for a good tire.
Other than that you will have to settle for Korea.
Whatever you do, do not touch Used Tires.

Your choice of Tyre should consider safety as the primary focus. Many Tyres are good but you must beware of imitations. Hence, you must buy from credible source. cheers

I no get car. Nothing to say

jodeci:

Either tyre or tire is correct bro.

Thanks

Michelin, Pirelli are some of the best quality out there. If you want something cheaper, you may try maxxis, I bought it sometime ago and it was quite impressive.

Aromas:

Bros u get car?

Honestly,I doubt it if he has Bicycle or Okada!

For Nigerian roads, you'll need all resistance, heavy duty metal tires.

I recently bought tracmax tires for my 2003 camry.they are quite cheap.I don't knw about about the quality though.

person wey get SUV dey look for Tyre to buy.

jodeci:
Peeps,i intend to change the four tires of my SUV.I actually have in mind to go for michelin or pirrelli.

But someone suggested i could get same michelin/pirelli tire quality at less cost.

Please can u suggest alternatives and possibly cost range.Thanks.

i use goodyear cargo tyres...
You can try firestone or bridgestone. Go for any tyre labelled ''CARGO''. They last long.

sayso: person wey get SUV dey look for Tyre to buy.

for lack of what to say? hungry man.

At present, I use michellin on my SUV, its good. And I love the silence, grip and its durability but I'm not trying to advertise any company. OP, Do a thorough research,and consider factors such as the terrain in your locality (snowy, muddy, sandy, rocky, loosed gravel or tarred roads), frequency of driving, load such tyres will have to bear, your intended speed, the climate of your locality.based on this, consider the type of construction of the tyres, date of manufacture, intended terrain of such tyres, intended vehicles such tyres would be mounted upon and target climate of such tyres. When you have these data, you can go and buy your tyres but DON'T even look at TOKUMBO or inferior quality tyres.

churific: For Nigerian roads, you'll need all resistance, heavy duty metal tires.

you got me laughing.

Buy tokumbo tyres

You just exposed yasef.

Adrenaline123: Michelin. New one not less than 10k

I nofit o,,,,10k?

Jodeci, what do you mean by 'Nigerian Roads'?. Is there anything wrong with Nigerian Roads? Is it different from roads in other countries. You are to explain why you should not be sanctioned for using that phrase 'Nigerian roads' in what you posted before the close of business today.

this is the best tire for Naija roads

jp philips: any japanese manufacturer is ok, no korea or european

word, try Falken tyres, been using mine ƒό̲̣̣̣̥r̶̲̥̅̊ two years plus Ω̴̩̩̩̥αw. Japan tyres aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ good.

I am sure uncontrolled speed contributes highly to the melting of tyres on baking nigerian roads that almost always result to ghastly accidents.

Speed kills.In a country where there is no speed limit,no roads and hardly any driving training for drivers,you have to use your common sense.

You are absolutely correct. I bought the same tyres for Toyota Prado SUV at N45K each. Four tyres cost a whooping N180K at Olusegun Obasanjo Way in Port Harcourt sometime in April, this year.

I know made in Korea 'Achilles Platinum' tyres of the same specs goes for around N28K.

Some people no dey understand english. (NOT LESS THAN) N10,000.

Okey. Mathematically,
if michelin is not < 10k,
therefore it is > 10k.

I bought 4 bran new gt tyres for my camry and I was lucky to come back home a life from a trip . Recently a neigbor introduced me to tokunbo which I got at 4k each and I never regretted following his advice. Must new tyres re fake . If you can get original once pls buy but if u can't go for first grade tokunboh

Observator: Your choice of Tyre should consider safety as the primary focus. Many Tyres are good but you must beware of imitations. Hence, you must buy from credible source. cheers

That's right, safety should be the operative word when shopping for a tyre. Things to lookout for is the date of manufacture, tread wear number, temperature resistance, speed symbol, maximum load capacity and traction.

The date of the manufacture is important for the buyer to determine its expiry date, which is normally four or five years depending on the brand. The manufacturing date is represented by four figures on the side wall of the tyre. The first two digits indicate the week of the year while the last two digits stand for the year. Tread wear number indicates the tyre’s wear rate. The higher the tread wear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tyre graded 400 should last twice longer than a tyre graded 200. The temperature resistance, which is represented by letters “A,” “B “or “C,”indicates a tyre’s resistance to heat. Letter “A” is suitable for hot climate. Letter “B’ is meant for normal weather areas and while “C” is for cold areas. M+S is used to indicate that a tyre is suitable for mud and snowy terrains. It is popular in Nigeria and the SON said that it is appropriate for the Nigerian roads.
