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
