    I bought a replacement tires for our family vehicle. The thread and the overall appearance looks promising. I know I was buying a Chinese company manufactured car tire for a cheap price of Php 3,200.00 for a pair. Everything seems to be working nice as I was reminded in the dealership that I need to maintain the air gauge to 30 since it's a cheap tire. I felt that the tire is slippery when taking on breaks unlike the branded tires I used to have. Before once I step on the break, the tires sticks on the road, now it's a little scary to break. Well, that's really a concern but the worst of it all is when the side of the tire accidentally got ripped when I maneuvered to park the cark at the side of the road. My branded tires, did touch the pointed street gutter before but it only left a scratch. This time the China-made tires ripped off. Now, I realize how weak and poor the product is. China BEARWAY Tyre and the like are a waste of money. I don't recommend people to buy this junk products from China.

    what particular brand is this?

    I bought cheap tires back in the 90s (Gajah Tunggal) Sumabog. It's a good thing I did not get into an accident. Never again.

    China BEARWAY Tyre-- it rips off like when attacked by a bear. I bought another pair and I'll post it next time. I can hardly remember the brand since I learned that Chinese manufacturers changes tire brand names due to lawsuits-quality issues.

    I was recently checking out tires & ran into some GT Radial tires. They used to be known as Gajah Tunggal & were cheap alternatives in the '90s. Not anymore. They have these GT Champiro radials which are the choice of racers because of performance & price. They look really nice too. A piece of 195/55/15's cost only P4,500, a lot cheaper than comparable Bridgestone or Yokohama race tires.

    This. If you spend nothing on tires, you get crap in return.

    3.2k per pair is half the price of decent tires.

    -

    I don't like Westlake, but I know a lot of people running them with no problems.

    Gajah Tunggal Champiros aren't the best tires in the world, but man, they last a looooooong time for how much they cost.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Same sentiment Sir. We should always consider the quality along with the price when it comes to vehicle and its parts. Buhay pinag-uusapan sa mga ganitong scenario.

    GT is a budget brand but has launched more upscale offerings. The SUV tires (Saveros?) we tested at their local launch were pretty good. Grip of the new tires are really good. Di ko mapaiyak sa kapit. Don't know about how strong the carcass is though. The old Saveros were slippery but the new gen ones are much better.

    Lagi check ang manufacturing date. Minsan kahit branded kung masyado luma na rin mabilis din masira

    Bearway ang brand? First time ko marinig. I believe sa kahit anong bagay, kung bibili ka ng china, yung magandang brand ng china. Gaya ng cellphone, xiaomi. Or sa rubber shoes, anta or 361. Sa tires ang pinagpipilian usually westlake at achilles

    If this is the size of a regular sedan type of tire, then that 3200 is not cheap, you could buy Yokohamas for that price. Westlakes go for near 2k for this size.

    Achilles isn't Chinese, it's Indonesian. Same with GT and Neuton.
