After using Double King 205/55 R16 for at least 4 years, I ran into a deep pothole on the way to Minna that got me worried about the tyre sometime last year but to my surprise nothing happened! I even thought the tyre will become useless because I felt the slight hit on the rim. Recently, I replaced the tyres with the same product again. Relatively cheap and dependable.

I heard Maxxis is of a very high quality too. I bought it this month on another car that had Michelin but I haven't used it long enough to say much about it.

I bought 4 Double King Tyres in 2014 and used them until 2017 when I sold the car with the Tyres and they never gave me issues despite my constant trips with the car from Abeokuta to Lagos, Ota, Asaba, Umuahia, Ibadan and Warri. I also used the car to travel regularly from Warri to Sapele, Asaba, Port Harcourt and Ibadan and the tyres never gave me any issues. Infact, I never had a flat tyre. In 2016 I bought double king tyres for my Honda and I used them till last Month when I sold the car with the tyres. I also used the Honda very well from Isolo to Lagos Island daily and the tyres never disappointed me. I'm surprised to read so many negative reviews about the tyre.

Sounds more like marketing the product.

I don't know about SUVs but I am currently using MAXXIS P205/65 R15 for like 18months now and I've never had it flat for even a day.
I bought the 4 tires during the Lagos int'l trade fair of Nov '11 @12k each.
The most important thing is to buy your tires from the genuine importer with warranty
. So many fakes out there.

I went with "it is not about where the product was made but the quality I will derieve from it and over all the tire has not given me any course for concern"

The only complaint I can say is the side walls of the tire is too thin compared to savero or maxxis that I have at the back

cecegorz:

I don't understand your argument here.
Maxxis is currently a global company with presence in the US, EU, Australia, Thailand, SA, etc. The ones I buy however are made in Thailand.
I had retired the first 4 sets I used on the saloon after two years, and bought another four early this year, the tire rocks with pride.

Funny enough, this last week, I picked up another four set, P225/70 R16 for my SUV because it has been tested and trusted.
Caveat: I only buy from the companys' rep in Nigeria because I heard that some dealers are bringing in replicas from China.

Oga what's your testimony on MAXXIS tyres

I want to get new ones

nurey:


Never used it b4, but back then it was of good quality don't know about now

Go for 6 pliers tyres, you wont regret it, even at old no new tyres can stand it . It can withstand any kind of speed and road condition too because of its thick durable skin. It was built to last. I use them all year round in my cars, bought as fairly use and they never bursted or mishap on the road for once unlike some of the so called brand new tyres, though they are quite heavy- but safety is paramount. If i dnt see 6 pliers i dnt buy , whether new or fairly use, this is my testimony.
