Toyota Car Tyres (Euro Star by General Tyres)

[mshoaib73]

Remember few months back the TV advertisement from General Tyres. Why people strip off the tyres of new car??

I have the answer. TOYOTA and HONDA in Pakistan use EuroStar tyres manufactured by General Tyres. And these tyres dont have manufacturing date imprinted on them. Its a standard practise in world for tyre manufacturing companies to write the manufacturing date on tyres. This is for the fact that irrespetive of the use of tyres, there is a shelf life associated with tyres. And the use of expired tires may result in a brittle blast tyre of failure. I am very much surprized to see that companies like TOYOTA and HONDA use these tyres.

You will agree that no one will like to buy a tablet of Panadol costing just 5-10 Rs, without manufacturing or expiry date on it. And we buy toyota and Honda costing 1.5 to 2.2 million Rs without any mention of tyres manufacturing or expiry.

Agreed with you 100%.
Most funny part is that our transmission goes globally & whole world now knows that People in Pakistan have a trend to replace new General Tyres

Quite funny. General Tyres are accepting themselves that people throw away the new General Tyres, Euro Tycoon as well as EuroStar tyres

Answer is obvious. People are now educated and have concerned about safety, durability & finally comfort of their family,themselves and for car itself.

By using different labels like General, EuroStar & Euro Tycoon will not change the reality.

Yes how funny it is that they know their cheap infact cheapest quality in the market so they do not print or embose date over it.

WITHOUT DATE MEANS------------How can customer care for-----Where are the Warranty concerns, Expiry date of tyre(each tyre has limited life), Road safety, Shelf life calculation concerns, analysing whole batch issue, Warranty & maintenance claims, QC and last but not the least Consumer rights ???

Life of Tyre expires generally after 4 Years from the date of Manufacturing(Even if u have not used it and it is placed in shelf at Tyre shop or either in your car's boot as Spare Tyre) but it is risky to travel with 4 years old manufactured tyre so General are intentionally hiding this date

I recently bought EURO's with Date 0818 (8 week of 2018)

Bilkul sahi kaha. This shud be the real reason to change them actually. Who knows how old they are. Look at the batteries of new cars they die after a few months and noone knows for how long they were stored for.

I didnt have anything like that on my euros 2017 August. Maybe they are doing it now

Maybe the electrolyte dealers use are not upto the mark ?

Try it yourself prepare a proper electrolyte with Lab tested H2S04 and Distilled water (1250 Gravity) and the difference is day and night.

What ? Electrolytes ? Acha
.... shall we not try going to the moon and check the oxygen levels midair ?

General/EuroStar are the worst tires I’ve come across. They make the car ride quite hard unnecessarily. Changing from Generals to different tires in two of my cars were probably the best decision I made so far in relation to my cars.

General tyres are Pathetic...even Chinese tyres better than eurostar

You are right, my car battery died after one year.
In case of 9th and 10th gen it ran for like 2-3 years at least.
