This is a tribalistic rant and i think against the Nairaland Rules.

That being said with my first car i used Belgium tyres throughout. Repeated the same thing a week ago as i got my second car kicking with 4 tyres costing just N12k. All pockets are not deep and pros and cons i think my likes will be fine.

GT radial is a good tyre. I used the GT radial savero for 2.5 years before replacing them. Then I decided it would be good to help others buy providing access to genuine GT radial tyres via my website http://www.kara.com.ng/brands/GT-RADIAL.html

I bought four brand new tires for my Honda 2003 model on recommendation that GT RADIAL is the best i can get for now but i am sad to tell you that i lost two of the tires to bump the same time on my way to Ibadan two weeks ago and also lost one more while within Ibadan town two days ago, i am lost for words to describe this as it has never happened to me before in over 10 years of driving experience and considering the fact that the one i have on the car before now is over 2 years old.

I went back to the guy who sold the tires to me only to be told that it was bad roads and bump that spoil the tires ( 3 brand new tires in 3 weeks).

I am grateful to God i wasn't over speeding when the incidents happened and just here to inform car users to be very careful when buying tires, N44,000 gone down the drain : These IBO GUYS will do anything to make money.


Be warned.

if you want to buy new tyres look out for the 4 digit number on the inner side of the tyre this show d manufacturing week and year also check for the psi max inflation pressure make sure you buy made in indonesia more expensive but worth it n if u can afford it just but the big brands firestone brigdestone michelin pirelli they last longer lifespan of a tyre is 4 years over or under inflation also affects the fuel economy of your vehicle n lifespan of the tyre

I believe you over inflated your tyres... Nothing more!
Re: New Tires : Death Trap?. by flecho: 1:05pm On Nov 06, 2016
Difference btw Chinese made tires and others etc Europeans is the inflation pressure, Chinese maximum pressure is 40 psi while other 44 and above psi.

You got what you paid for. Why are you complaining and blaming us - the Igbos? You knew about Michelin and Dunlop, yet you went and bought CHAMPIRO GT RADIAL? The problem is not because it was Chinese production, but because the company dont build quality standard tyres, when compared with Michelin, Dunlop and other well known good branded tyres. Where a tyre is produced/manufactured is not the issue. Even if Michelin or Dunlop tyres are produced in China, they still maintain their standard in production.

You went for cheap article and got what you bargained for. Stop pushing blames. I made that mistake once when i replaced my 4 tyres in the past. But now, i know better. MAXXIS tyre is good, though. Spend heavily on tyre to protect your life & the car. I would rather buy a Dunlop produced in China than buy CHAMPIRO GT RADIAL produced in GERMANY.

Ikenna
Pls, I want to buy 4 tyres for my Camry 2002, I want to buy double King or maxxis. Pls which one is better because of my budget.
Thanks in anticipation
