New tires

[keith101]

I have a 2017 Toyota Revo which is close to needing new tires but with so many Thai brands that i know nothing about i am unsure which would be the best for my pickup so if anyone has experience and can give me some advice it will be very much appreciated .

[Golden Triangle]

Why not relace with whatever make is fitted by the manufacturer ??

[KannikaP]

I got 96000 km from the originals on my Vigo in 2012.

I put Maxxiss on twice more, and got slightly less., but considerably cheaper, and the Maxxiss place will align and rotate every 10000km, free of charge.

Deestone are a good tyre made in Thailand so very affordable.

I like Maxxis too. 30-40% cheaper and tried and true. Most of the taxis back in Oz run them. Don't be sucked in by you get what you pay for.

One of the things to look for is sun damage to the sidewalls.  You may have tread left, but it doesn't do you any good sun-damaged sidewall blows.  If you have high mileage tires do take time to check the condition of the side walls too.  Be safe!

 

I run Michelins on my bike and Bridgestones or Dunlap on my cars.  Those are the tires I've had on my cars here in Thailand.   But any good, name-brand, premium quality tire will do. I don't go cheap on tires.  Your life can depend on them.

The health and safety brigade are coming to make you spend 2 or 3 times as much as you need to. ????

Snetterton race track in the 1990's somewhere I use to do track days.

 

CBR900RR rear tyre blew he was OK it was a Michelle tyre it can happen to any tyre make.

I had to replace a couple of tyres on my Isuzu DMax a few weeks ago and coughed at the price of Bridgestone and Dunlop, ended up with Nexen Rodian AT Pro at 6380Baht for the pair. They're quite chunky, Korean, reviews of quality seem quite favourable.

I run Maxxis on my Nissan frontier, five years, 30000 klm. 

They are getting harder as far as comfort goes but still loads of tread left.

The tyres will be to old before they ware out.

I only buy Michelins, IMO they are much better than other brands in wet conditions. More expensive,  it depends on what one thinks their life is worth.

Keep an eye out for sidewall and tread cracking. Loads of tread or km are not as significant as age in the Thai climate.

Does the align and rotate free apply to all Maxxis tyres.... on my MG5 they are stock tyres...does this apply to them?

Im also looking, and checking, found a few negative reviews on Deestone in general. What model you have on your car? 

 

The usual tires are actually terrible, especially the R101 model. They disintegrate when they are still new and handle very poorly. They can slide, slip and wiggle in disregard to what their owner wants of them.
Bottom line is: only buy mud tires from Deestone, because their regular options are plainly dangerous.

Tires is quite easy to buy, because you will find reviews and also bigger tests of the more well known brand.

Something that is cheap and will light up easily sounds good to me.

The same advice relates to all makes of tyres.

More expensive well known brands useally means better grip and shorter life expectancy. Tires who still good treads after 100k, I would suspect being dangerous on wet surface and longer braking distances on dry surface.

Not interested in grip, wet or dry.

Need to practice my drifting skills which is hard with a lack of HP.

why are the wheels on your car feeling sleepy (tires)?  Perhaps you meant to use CORRECT english and not the corrupted american version of english and your car needs new TYRES.

I have Michelin tires on my car when it’s time to replace them I went with Dunlap for 1/3 the cost of Michelin and they did free will alignment and they put that nitrous gas in the tires free anytime I go in there and I have the tires checked overall I’m very happy with the damn labs on my car I do have tire on my motorcycle it’s Dunlop. It seems to be working out good for me.
