It makes one thing clear that any well reputed tyre company making tyres in china there quality is the same to the one made in other plants world wide, but about their local companies making the same pattern and comsumer assuming it the same is something china should take care off.

Yes, It seems to be clear. I am going to bye new chinies tyres. But till now I have no idea that which one seller is best in LAHORE. If someone know, please share.

^ Chinese own brands are not ok, they are Noisy, they break (literally tread pieces come out after some time) so you are better off paying a 1000 more on each tyre and buying a Tyre which will not only save you money on fuel, suspension, but will save You too by the Will of Allah, Insha-Allah.

[Farhansa]

there are copies of Yokohama, dunlop, Bridgestone and other leading tyres brands available in market.
always purchase tyres from reputed vendor

[wonder_guy]

Never compromise on tyres....remember they r the only contact b/w u and the road.

[AsadGhumman]

Yaar its a similar try by western monkies to help their dying economy by making false propaganda against chinese good. They have even spread rumours about chinese toys that plastic used in toys can cause cancer in kids. Now does that make any sense????
...really funny but that is how it is for me.... Same as Wikileaks which in these days, we believe to be most reliable. although a stage drama of CIA for a dirty & unfair game of agencies....

[Sheryky]

thats why I chose Pakistani general tyre over chinese - Its just amazing what they can make for you - and our zabardast businessmen and NHA etc have no clue on tire quality, they dont care if it deflates or blows at 100 km/h.. our businessmen want the sasta tareen version of anything. They sell to us at regular high market prices - making a fortune out of every sale, not caring that the person could die by installing a sub standard product.

In the US - you will see a rapid decline in sales of an item if its ear marked by any authority - not in Pakistan, look at toyota indus motors - they sell you a new corolla with a noisy ac compressor and tell you to ignore it and look at the shape.. WHAT THE EFF is wrong in this picture

My cherry qq came with factory fitted Chinese tires. excellent road grip. drove at 120 km/h on motorway many times. I have driven 64000 km in about 4 years and now feel lack of grip. going to change tires. In my view its cheap products that are dangerous be it Chinese, Japanese or American. My original maintenance free battery worked for 3 years. it cost at chery dealer is over 6 thousand a year back.

[afnan_88]

rather than buying chinese tyres , get normal budget tyres like hankook ,kumho gt radil . . .

[harris4139mq]

@all so what are ur reviews abt general tyres pakistan made???

[evergreenshahjee]

I am using Ling Long tires on my Suzuki Alto. I must say they are the worst tires i have ever used. In perfect conditions these tires may have average road grip. But in case of rain it has almost zero road grip. I have experienced 3 moderate car skids due to these tires. But thank God everyone is save.

Tyrepoint.pk. Pk... They have outlets in Lahore metro cash n carrys

[pwuser156581198048]

My experience with linglong tyre in suzuki mehran was excellent..I used to drive @ 120 and nothing bad happens to my car.. long long tyres I will again choose it when I replace the old one...it's been 1.5 years in installed ling long tyres and these are still perfectly working...

[fareedtareen10]

I bought a set of chinese AUSTONE all terrains and they are not a trusty tyre to be on a 4wd in rough terrains....they puncture very easily and are too soft to be called all terrrain's....even when on-road they are punctured frequently....i even had the side wall punctured i dont know how that happened.
