Has anybody heard or used this brand.

I need some front tyres for my vios and have been shopping around a bit. We have stumbled across a Thai (I think) brand called "Thunderer". Obviously I'd rather be safe and will pay more for imports if necessary,

Does anybody know if this bran is safe or not? I can't seem to find much about them on the net.

No replies then, which tells me all that I need to know really.

I'll stick with the imported brand that I already know to be safe.

Thunderer tires are private label tires, mainly sold by B-Quik. The tires are made by Deestone, a Thai manufacturer who has been producing and exporting truck tires for a long time. They started passenger car tire production beginning last year, using new machinery and Goodyear design technology. Good tire for the money. In the Vios size you will hardly find imports, because Michelin, Bridgestone, Dunlop and Goodyear all make these here in Thailand.
