    Hi Guys,

    Has anyone tried buying tires from this store. They are located along Quezon avenue-Delta? Nagbebenta sila ng mga second hand tires ar mags na rin. Balak ko kasing palitan yung mags ng van ko at pag nakalbo na yung gulong ng kotse ko sa kanila ko rin balak bumili. Mga second hand tires daw na galing Japan yung binebenta nila. So, may nakasubok na bang bumile sa inyo doon? How's the experience? Quality? Aftersales service and warranty?

    Thanks

    for tires, i would not gamble getting second hands.... your and your passengers life depend on it.

    They're just a store who resells imported stuff. No aftersales services for tires. It's basically buy at your own risk.

    I was also checking them out on the net as from time to time they have a nice set of rims at what seems to be a good price. For tires, i wouldn't risk my passengers and my ride for seconds with an unknown history. If i buy second hand, its usually from someone i know or tires that are known to be brand new trade-ins.

    They also have knock-off Oakleys and watches it seems.

    I am pretty sure tire rubbers made in Japan are designed for Japan weather and climate (0 degrees in winter, 36 degrees summer, a lot colder in the northern part).

    I am not sure if Japan tire specs will fit Philippine conditions.

    Yup, dapat hindi for winter yung tires. Nasa tire specs niya yan dapat.

    Hindi naman ata winter tires yung binebenta nila eh, kasi May variant yung Bridgestone at Yokohama na same yung brand label kagaya sa Ph website. Very tempting yung mga prices nila tapos makikita talaga sa pictures na makapal pa yung gulong. Murang-mura siya para sa mga branded tires kagaya na lang nung Pirelli na nasa 10K ata 4pcs na. Kaso nga lang eh talagang hindi ko alam kung paano malalaman kung maganda pa yung quality baka kasi pagkagamit eh doon na lumabas yung bukol o yung problema. Since sabi ni vinj eh walang aftersales serive. So ibig bang sabihin pag after a day or 2 eh nagkabukol yung gulong eh sorry na lang ako?

    All tires has life span. Pudpud o hindi kailangan palitan. May naka convoy ako sa sctex, biglang nagtuklapan ang rubber niya sa hulihang gulong passengerside luckily hindi sumabog. 8 years na raw yung gulong same age nang bilhin niya yung ride. Kung titingnan mo ok pa kasi hindi pa pudpud. Basta gulong better buy a brand new one...
