Pirelli, bridgestone and michellin might be difficult to get or too expensive, go get MAXIS, a very good Tyre

Maxxis is a very bad tire! Don't recommend it!

Pirelli
They are expensive but worth buying.

Sirs pls as a matter of urgency, I need to get two tyres and I need a good tyre. The one I bought didn't last two months and get twisted.

Someone recommended Maxxis to you, don't buy! Maxxis is a very bad tire! I repeat don't buy! I recommend Bridgestone.

Choosing a tyre for your vehicle is as important as using the right specification it's not really about brand name. What I'll like to ask you is what size are you using and the type of car cos even if you buy the most expensive and don't follow the necessary instructions, it won't last long,im telling you from experience. I'll advice you go for HAIDA . It's efficient, durable and pocket friendly.

Don't disagree o! Cos when I replaced my Maxxis, it was still looking like a new tire but already swollen with air inside, and of course you know 'za outcome wouldn't be nice'

Cos I've used it before. It got swollen inside even when everything appears fine outside. My life is still very important to me, if that one burst, na disaster.

Re: Which Is The Best Tyre Presently by legalwealth(m): 9:40am On Jan 15, 2017

Go for Double King if you can't afford Pirelli, Bridgestone or Michelin.

Re: Which Is The Best Tyre Presently by vpaymoney(m): 10:37am On Jan 15, 2017

I trust you my people. Among and after mouth consultations from *kazims dem. am going for #continental. Is there anyway to know fake from original continental tyers. And how much can I get it in lag. I only need two for now. Am just afraid of tokunbo tyers. I won't have rest of mind if I buy tokunbo. So its better to go for what makes me feel comfortable.

Re: Which Is The Best Tyre Presently by Martini101(m): 10:53am On Jan 15, 2017

If you cant affford brand new tire, go and get a neat tokunbo of 2014 above and enjoy your ride.
The good thing is that you will actually get the good big names( continetal, dunlop, mecheline, pirelli, faulken) at 8k belowetc.
Talking from experience.b

Note: Never allow those boys to talking you into buying anything manufactured below 2014.
Their sweet mouth no be here. Persistence is the key.

Re: Which Is The Best Tyre Presently by bigsmoke2(m): 12:19pm On Jan 15, 2017

I'm suprised no one has mentioned double king. It's not the best but it's relatively affordable And you'll get value for your money. Been using 2years now

A twisted tyre has some bulging in some parts of the tyre's surface.

Firestone and continental are good brands of tyre I have used for a year without issue. You should also check for the required PSI stated on your car when purchasing tyres and the date of production matters too with the size.

Re: Which Is The Best Tyre Presently by Yolnizzle: 8:15pm On Jan 15, 2017

I use 2 sets of P215 60 16 Yokohama (front) and Michelin (back). Both haven't twisted, but the yokohama let's in a lot of road noise. Just go for the cheaper of the two.

Avoid used tires!!! Life's too precious.
