Tyres

I didn't argue since it could have been that, my driver may have been driving when the damage occured.

Agreed!

Bought straight from Sheikh Brothers. Tried to claim warranty on one with a bubble as well but they said it was external damage.

Even if the companies give warranties, like Sheikh Brothers, etc. still, we cannot succeed in claiming any. Reason being; our road condition here are such here tyre can get deteriorated / damaged due to external factors, like cat eyes, stones on roads, etc.

2ndly, companies give warranties of manufacturing faults, and not the faults arising due to driving on bad roads. Still, it becomes difficult to judge that whether the tyre deteriorated due to external factors or manufacturing faults.

So to conclude; practically there is no warranty of any tyre here! Even if you buy a proper import, non-smuggled tyre.

They say the warranty claim is for manufacturing defects, not external damage.

Don't know if that is true.

YES. Its true and they are right!

I once discussed this issue with one of the tyre shops guys. He said that their parent companies do not accept warranties and say that 1st, make the conditions of roads better, and then claim warranties.

caused by car going fast through a pot hole or those reflectors are not covered.

Update me if you found a geniune dealer in karachi for tyres. I am also looking for replacements of my altis 1.6 2018 but rates have skyrocketed sadly. Advan db is being qouted for 19k a piece by shaikh brothers 205/55/16
