Euro star tyres good enough?

[ali454]

The recommended profile is not available in local brand hence a reason to use imported. Soon youll be seeing euros on Altis too.

Go to body area and paintshop of any dealership. Majority of major accidental vehicles have Eurostar. They are hard, they make noise, they are less grippy, and you can’t compare them with good brands.

[haseeb.basharat]

That’s not the reason, 215/55 R16 can easily fit on that rim, bg luxo is available in that size.

in winter you hear GOON GOON.
in summer with every brake and turn u will hear CHEEN CHEEN.

good luck.

So why is Toyota now giving Yokohama’s in 1.6/1.8 Altis? If according to you Govt forces them to use local brands

hi,
when general factory is closed due to strikes, maintenance or shortage of raw material, than local manufacturers buy tyres from open market.

Then how come they are still giving Euros on XLI/GLI if General tyres is closed due to strikes etc

[ali454]

215/55R16 is not the recommended profile, 205/55R16 is.
Its not about what fits easily. Its about whats recommended as per specs. Eurostar is available in 205 profile.

General tyres don't manufacture this size 205 55 16 hence the imported tyres on 1.6 and 1.8 trim. (Jus like the Swift) Rumors are they might start manufacturing this size as well. Otherwise, local cars are bound to use tyres which are manufactured in Pakistan.

I think new Civic also has 205 size and they are local.

[biloo]

BG Luxo are 215 55 16

who on earth uses eurostar tyres.

Well, majority. A large number of people also switch straightaway but larger number keep it as it is.

[dexter767]

my friend they have 1000 of warehouses where they have stored millions of these low quality tyres strikes don't last for too many days but rubber does you don't even know how these tyre are made and how they are bought to our country and how they are destroying our quality of good tyres.

[dexter767]

They keep it because they can't seem to think above low quality.

I had the opportunity to visit general tyre factory, here is what i learnt from the exectives of that factory

• general tires will give u 5 yrs service minimum
• their samples r tested by continental tire (germany) and unless passed these r not put forward on sale .. daily samples
• their tires r slightly hard to meet the requirement of road condition and safety these tires have to be made so

overall
- general tires r robust
- give a lot of noise on road
- have lesser braking than lot of other smuggled brands
- will last u above 60k km

personally i prefer yokohama (advans db), but only buy from authorized dealer like sheikh brothers of karachi .. their tires r stamped and u can check the tire number by calling their dealership number .. most smuggled tires r brought in cramped spaces and r not recommended to be purchased

P.S: I have no personal link with general tires or sheikh brothers

Our experience with Eurostar is not good as we own GLI2015 with mileage around 30 K till date generally we are driving in city but at speed of under 50 tyres are starting to make noise and its a hard tyre so ride quality is not good i would advise for hot weather if Bridge stone Taiwan available otherwise Yokohama swap as early as possible

[favadkhan]

Ecopia is good do check year of manufacturing before buying
