China tires: Black Arrow and Austone

[mustardseed]

Whats your take with China tires? Brands like Black Arrow and Austone? Tumatagal ba or waste of money? Delikado ba. Anyone who tried? Thanks.

Actually, I want to try out for myself China Tires and see for myself compared to my Deestone. But I will get the known brand West Lake. Some Tire Shop is offering me Sailun and Arivo (UK Tech) but I will try WL first.

I was a WL user for 2 sets. 205/40r17 tires. As per my experience, madulas na if luma na ang tires. Current Sailun Atrezzo 205/45r17 ko ngayon gives me better grip. Mag 3 years na this May 2022

Yeah most of the tire shop I inquire with is offering me this brand they say it is a much better chinese made tire compared to other in the market.

is the price difference between the chinese brand and the non-chinese brand, significant?
kasi, kung maliit lang naman, sa mas kilalang brand na siguro ako.

at present, i yokohama. local, 'natch.

Yes if you will buy all four tires you will save a lot of money. E.g. A Bridgetone R15 tire cost 4,200 but when you buy China it is only 2,800.

We were raised to be frugal (even though we don't need to be), but there are some things I just don't compromise on.

Kaya engine air filters, oil filters, always OEM. Tires- always tried and tested brands (though not the most expensive, basta yung ok to good quality), even for the 4 & 6 wheel trucks we use in our businesses.

Makatipid ka ng total of 2-3k (perhaps) for a set of 4 tires with these brands, eh katapat naman nun yung danger sa sarili mo, pamilya mo, other people na madamay a year or two down the road... akin not worth it. Kulang pa ngang pang full tank yang matipid mo at today's fuel prices ah.

In one foreign car forum, brutal nga sila magcomment eh- nabasa ko yung reply sa isang post dati:

"If you can't afford to maintain your car properly and HAVE to use el cheapo parts, you've no business behind the wheel, take the bus!"

Pranka sobra mga amerikano minsan...
Baka sumakit ulo nun sa mga 3rd world conditions natin dito

I think context is also key.

yes, the china branded tires might be cheaper meaning performance is not "equivalent" to the more known global brands but...

For the American context, they have higher speeds on their roads, specially highways/interstates. While here max on highway is 100kph, around 60mph.

And, for most of the car owners in our neck of the woods, they might just exclusively use their vehicles in city speeds (our local city speeds) so you are less worried about braking distance and just that it has enough grip in the wet and it doesn't easily get worn out. Plus, it lasting long enough to get worn out to maximize the value of its usable life.

I personally haven't used China made tires except 1 set of Triangle Branded Tires for our truck in the past. Then after that was Federal Taiwan Brand Tires mainly but with the price of Federal, I'm more leaning to local Yokohama when possible or Dunlop.

It also depends on the usage. Normally 3 to 5yrs you have to change your car tires anyway, now if those china tires will explode for no reason then that's another issue.... I will not use china tires because of that.

looks like there are not enough vocal users here, who are familiar with those brands.
try googling for reviews, po.
