    Mostly China-sourced and -made tires (even if the brands per se are not).
    You may check the following and compare thread pattern, size availablity and price. 2nd-tier options to the named but more expensive brands.
    Wanli
    Nankang/Roadstone
    Cooper
    Achilles
    Federal
    Maxxis
    Continental

    Sir, yung Maxxis po ay made in Thailand, at yung Federal ay made in Taiwan. Anyway, I recommend Wanli, OK din ang performance nito... mas cheaper ng 300-500 pesos compared to Maxxis.

    Guys most tire makers have factories outside the country of their headquarters.

    Bridgestone has divisions in Japan, Thailand, Korea, India, Malaysia, even Taiwan.
    Maxxis has factories in China, Taiwan, Thailand and Canada.
    Dunlop has factories in and Japan, Indonesia, China and Poland.

    Most brands today are affiliated with some larger tire maker. Dunlop is part-owned by Goodyear for example.

    Where your tire was made still matters today, but not as much as before. Most Japanese made tires are still the best by my reckoning. Brands don't matter as much anymore but still determines to a great extent the quality of the product, regardless of where it was made.

    In choosing replacement tires, if you are not happy with your OEMs, choose something that someone you trust has already used and is happy with. It is the tire dealer's job to sell the brands he has, so expect them to tell you an earful about the quality of whatever brand it is they are selling. If you cannot ask someone you trust regarding a particular brand or model, go to a dealer with a good reputation for after sales service (warranty claims).

    Another point is the tire model itself. Good brands have bad tire models in their lineup too. I've had bad experiences with Yokohama's Super Digger V but none in their Geolandar lineup.

    Hi...i'm relatively new to this...just a person who view's forums and opinion of other's...but 225/55 are very stable..i had the same figures on my Michelin Tires before.. then i switched to 205/55 becoz it was hurting my fenders when i had a full load..instead of bobbing in on long humps it was resting on the lip .but if you made some configurations to your car to support the size then i you have a good deal...i've tested the stability already...and the feeling of safety when it rains...its practically grips the road.

brand na gulong maganda pero hindi mahal
