dunlop R1. its comfortable and less noisy

[farooqk80]

I have been using Michelin Energy XM2 on the rough roads of Multan for the past 3 years with 0 punctures. Stop spreading rumours that they puncture easily on 'our roads'. Difference of Michelin and General is huge in terms of comfort and noise. You instantly feel a difference after shifting from General to a good tyre. This is not a placebo effect as I compared my 2 civics few years back.

[HellsGuardian]

Yes using Michelin for more than 5 years now. The only puncture i got was once due to big bent wire on road. On the other hand my friend's yokos that were bought 3 years ago had 7 punctures all while driving within Lahore.

And recently when i upgraded my tyres, the shopkeeper bought old ones for 2k per tyre

[pwuser158913575038]

What model Michelin tires do you recommend in 185 or 195/65/R15?

[HellsGuardian]

I personally always go for 195.65R15 as price difference is not much and its slightly better in terms of looks, grip and braking.

One more thing. The legally imported ones are XM2. There are many smuggled ones available in market never buy those. Search this forum or over google for Zafar enterprise (they are official importer of Michelin in Pakistan), they have a list of authorized dealers on their website for every city.
The other importer is tyrepoint but their prices are needlessly higher.

[pwuser158913575038]

Do you recommend XM2 and is there any better one in the market?

I again insist there is not much difference in term of road noise between General and foriegn brand tyres. Stop being a devils advocate and foolishly advise others to waste money on foreign tyres. I had Yoko, Dunlop, Bridgestone, and General tires.
Yoko is the worst on rough roads. Dunlop and Bridgestone are good but not vastly different than General Tyres.

It is nothing more than inferiority akhroti mentality that people waste money on foreign brand tires even when a cheaper desi version one is available. I believe it was this slave mentality of the masses that the British were able to rule here for two centuries.

I personally hope my post helps sensible persons in saving money on decent General tires rather than foolishly squandring money due to foolish advise of others to needlessly buy foreign tires..

i disagree with ahsanzs, General's XP 2000II are pretty good tyres, with decent grip and performance in both wet and dry conditions. I have used 185/65/14 and am currently using 165/80/13 on my 85 corolla. Recently went from karachi to naran and back on these tyres and drove in all sort of conditions without a prob. Anyway XP doesnt come in 15' so thats not even an option for you. And stay away from those euroglides. My lancer skidded for a couple of hundred meters on a DAMP road and the resu…

General tires are of exceptionaly gud quality, (for the price its offering) personaly i found General xp and euro glides better then the Dunlops lm701 tires. Had xps factory fitted, got Dunlops now back to Euro Glide tires. Using Yokos on my Vitz quite happy since 2 years, but i can surely say Generals are better then Dunlops lemans 701 any day, -Better punture protection, -Longer life, -Harder tire, -Better handling, PS : 195/65/r15 is a very big tire for Vitz which is not recomended…

Hi all General Tyre as according to their website using Continental AG Germany technology. it is true as today i found out that Continental AG ContiEcoContact 3 is same as that of EuroSTar. check out yourself at this website Continental Tires -ContiEcoContact 3

Compare a car side by side with Michelin or CC6 or Advan DB and general. You will feel the car vibrating at higher speeds with General and more road noise with discomfort in rough roads. I already said this is not a placebo effect as I have compared my 2 civics side by side.

General is a budget tyre only.

Once you have noticed what road noise is you keep observing it.

[farooqk80]

Don't talk if you haven't compared them side by side on same cars.

[syeddanishanwar]

A lot of sensible people who know the real value agree General tires are preferable to foreign tires - even the PW legend Mr. Suneel Munj.

i disagree i have used euro star on my grande which has odo reading now 36000km and bg luxo on my civic x turbo for about 12k km . both are working fine the best thing abt these tires is that they are new rubber unlike smuggled tyre which are out dated another thing is that imported tyres are nt made according to road conditions of pak. and after few k km they have issues like bloting n all not to say that imported tyres are not good but keeping in mind the road conditions the steel car n tyre…

I have been a long time user of Euro Stars. These are reliable tires. Grip is also good and they take Pakistani roads beating very well. I have also used Dunlop and Yokohama tires and then came back to General tires. I got Facelift Grande and it now comes with Yokohama Advan 470 A tires. These are quieter than Euro Stars. But still if Indus had given Euro Star on Facelift, I would have kept them.

I do some research on NEXEN tires. It seems good in terms of quality and overall safety.
Pattern: Nexen N Priz fresh import.
Price: 7500/- per tire
Manufactured: Last quarter of 2020
UTQG grade is good

AoA dear all members,
since the tyre prices have sky rocketed in the recent past... i prefer using Chinese brands..
i had used cc6 in vitz.. best ones
I bought an Aqua, which came with some chines tyres, they were 195/65/R15
i switched to 185/65/R15 FullRun FRUN-ON Chinese brand..
unfortunately a tyre burst on M2 due to a bad puncture... car only had puncture kit, so had to buy a Dunlop to finish my journey.
Later i found out that i had bought an Expired 2014 tyre as a replacement..
now i am trying to search for FULL RUN FRUN-ON in the same size, no Luck yet...
..
have asked two three tyre guys to help ..
i want to ask that this is the problem with non market tyres that u dont get a spare tyre that easily..
..
How are LASSA Tyres ??
What should i do to complete my set now ?
Should i opt for any other chinese tyre ?? but what about the speed rating and tread pattern ??
..
or to finish all these issues should i go for the all new 4 tyres of some other brand ??
Experts please guide

if budget is less than eurostars are far better than most ching chang chung brands

[curiousdevil]

Guys looking to change my gli 09 tires. I am in Islamabad looking for 195/65/15. I am a little tight on budget so dunlop is the option sp touring t1 indonesian for 43k or lm702 japanese around 49-50k are these good prices? Or they should be less? I have to get the tires changed today. Please let me know any other option in same budget

[snakelegnd]

Dunlop Touring t1 is an older model try finding Touring r1 which is better in rating and performance. LM702 is an older model of LM series 705 is the latest and as usual better than 702. if your investing your bucks invest in the latest model.

[curiousdevil]

Thanks brother any idea about the pricing of both? And regions? If you have any shop reference let me know. Thanks once again

Is official company warranty available in pakistan? Who is providing warranty for conti cc6 for 2 years or more?

[pwuser155065113193]

Between Dunlop and conti. Which one is always go to in terms of comform and grip, breaking and long lasting.

Who provide warranty.

[snakelegnd]

5 year manufacturing fault warranty is provided by company so depends upon the dealer who is providing warranty or not.

Dunlop 705 and Cc6 both are good tyre.
