    Hi.

    I'm looking for the cheapest brand ng tires for taxi use. (13s for Corollas and 14s for Sentra GXs)

    Right now I'm using Wan Li at around 1,250 Php each tire. Meron pa bang mas mura dito?

    yup. i agree. considering kung gano kabarubal magdrive mga taxi driver i think dapat din isipin yung safety ng passengers.

    going back to topic, the cheapest brand i got before were hankooks which cost around 1.5k. try mo rin nankang (taiwan), sime tyres (malaysia) or acelera (indonesia ata) brands. alam ko medyo ok sila but affordably priced.

    i think that the cheapest quality brand of tires is gajah tunggal and kelly tires. i am really not a fan of the korean tires dahil malutong. in fact, before, i am using nankang, pero nasabugan ako sa SLEX that almost cost me my life.

    IIRC, Westlake was one of those 3 China--made brands that was recalled by the US Feds due to inferior quality about 2-3 years ago.
