Tires: The Good, The Bad?

[dddave]

What tire brands sold in Thailand are considered to be the most durable and reliable?  Conversely, which have you learned to avoid?

I have a new (to me) sub-compact hatchback using 205-R16 tires that probably have 6-9 months of use to go so time to start educating myself.  Easy usage around town.  Rarely exceed 90 on the highway.

In the Pattaya area, any dealers that stand out for service?

I've had good performance from Yokohama & Maxxes....

Bridgestone harden quickly - which isn't good....I got rid of them - 3 cars....

As in all things you get what you pay for, I avoid any tyres made in China, they don't like wet roads, I got a good deal on Dunlop and they are good in the wet, all the well known brands are nearly double the price i.e. Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli etc.
