among your choices, its cooper, second choice is apollo. i have friends who have used those brands with satisfactory results.

Cooper isn't popular here because it isn't well known, but it's an established brand in the UK with good quality.

i've used Wanli tires (195/55R15) hanggang maubos ang tread... never had a blow out.

I've also used Nankang.

And now, i'm using Apollo tires. (January 2008 till present)

No problem so far.

There are even cheaper tires but my suki tire supply won't recommend those to me. Di ko na imemention ung brand.

They know i'll buy the cheapest tires but they had to stop me...

Buhay na ang pinag uusapan e...

hehe

Sir uls..please reconsider :help2:...this is precisely the reason why I started the thread...to delineate what is "acceptable" by learning the lessons derived from personal experiences.

Cooper is decent. road noise is higher and traction is not what i would like but it's not supposed to be a high performance tire either.

it's a decent low-budget tire
