It is our common belief which had been 'inherited' for generations that imported tyres, especially from Europe and Japan are superior when compared to 'made-in-Asia' donuts.
For instance there are cheaper regional made tyres which are as good if not better than European equivalents for local weather and road condition. My first experience was using a set of made in Indonesia rubber compound on my 206B. To my surprise they are very comfortable and quiet without loosing grips especially on wet.
Now it is about time to replace those rubber donuts on my 308T. The original European made CSC3 225/45/17 tyres cost more than RM3000.00 per set!. There are cheaper European/Japanese made tyre which cost around RM2000++ per set as well. Majority of the 308T owners opt for these tyres instead.
There are also low-cost hi-performance tyres made in Korea and Taiwan which cost less than 50% of the price quoted for CSC3.
Tread patterns look aggressive with four generous longkangs. Why not give a try.
What about locally made hi-performance tyres?
These are all-weather high-performance 'forgotten tyres' with an attractive uni-directional tread design and circumferential grooves for superior wet weather handling.
The manufacturer claims what makes these tyres unique is their exceptional performance in the wet. There are also three different tread compounds onto a single tyre -creating a balance of comfort, water dispersion and cornering stability.
Probably I may give a try. These tyres cost less than 40% of the CSC3!
