>biggest bang for buck tires in the world right nowWhat's stopping /o/ from slapping some linglongs onto the daily drive shitbox?
>>29082943For me, nothing. The US DOT regs stop anyone from selling something actually bad or dangerous. Tires are a mature technology. If you're not racing or seriously offroading or hauling heavy, you don't need expensive tires.
>>29082943They're good if you are hilariously poor and dont care about ride quality or grip in poor (or even ideal) conditions, or if you're someone who intends to burn up tires quickly. For me its dsw06+
>>29082943When I went to Japan they were displayed on every tyre shop. I guess the average driver can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive tyres.
>>29082951People mostly can’t tell the difference between cheap and expensive Goods in general Mostly
>>29082950>grip in poor (or even ideal) conditionsSounds like perfect hooning tires to me
>>29082943>shady chinky maypopsNo
>>29082956>Drilled rotors >Floating caliperShameful display anon.
>>29082943Most of their line is low rolling resistance, which utterly sucks for grip.
>>29082943Some local R35 GTR guy was running those Long long chink tires then hit a curb.Idk why someone dynos $100K on a GTR and puts $1,200 worth of tires on it
>>29082943I'm going to slap you with my ding dong.
The Ling Long Crosswind A/T is the standard pickup tire in my country.
>>29082943CHY-NAH versus MAY-HEE-KOLING LONG versus MUCHO MACHOFIGHT!
>>29083022Just stock ///M5 Competition things
>>29082943I have ling longs on 2 of my 3 cars. They're fine.
>>29082943Chink tires are not even cheap option anymore now when Indian tires are starting to hit the market.
>>29083101i heard those muchomachos are surprisingly good for their price.
>>29082943i have a different chink brand, vitour
>>29083229Fuuck i have some. Vitours on my truck
>>29083229Is that some sort of weird Plymouth Valiant with a body kit?
>>29083306no it's this thing
>>29083316Thanks, Anon.
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophetAll of a sudden, I found myself in love with the worldSo there was only one thing that I could doWas ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long"
I wrap an Asian bitch around my dick like a linglong tire
>>29083316pretty cool
>>29082951>165/65R14whatever car its going isn't going to do enough to really overwhelm them.
>>29082943I only use commercial truck tyres because our gaynigger government allows them to be harder compound and last longer
>>29082943I have self respect. I value my life and my property.
>>29082943Chinese Tyres are just fine
>>29083330>>29083559thanks :Di've said it before, but they were the only tyres i could find that>had 70 profile sidewalls>were reasonably priced>had a H speed ratingi haven't had the chance to max out the speedo yet, but i have taken it up to 100 mph. in a new car 100 feels quite fast, but in this thing where you already feel like you're going much faster than you actually are, at that speed, you truly appreciate that you are well and truly, royally fucked if something bad happens
>>29082943Because the last time I had chink tires in my car I ended up upside down after going the speed limit over some mud
>>29082943Do they come in white walls?
>>29083642Those uhhh vitour galaxies are white walls and if memory serves, they come from the same factory as linglongs
Do they make tires that are good in mud and chunky gravel but are not noisy as hell on highways?
>>29083659The galaxies are raised white lettering, you can choose whether you want the letters on the inside or out. They're initially blue but can either be cleaned to be white, or just let them fade to white over time. They can go brown if you don't clean them after a while though.
>>29082943Didn't pay much attention to tires when I was younger, as long as the held air they were fine. Then I bought a set of Kumhos in the late 90's and they absolutely ruined the driving experience of that car. Noisy as hell from day 1 and harsh riding as well. Kicked them off the car in less than a year.I learned a lesson there about tires from companies with unknown histories so these Linglongs would need to prove themselves to me first and I have no idea how they could do that so I'll be sticking with my Michelins and Continentals.
>>29082943>What's stopping /o/ from slapping some linglongs onto the daily drive shitbox?Well one thing that won't be stopping them is Linglong tires
>>29083679They do have white walls too, but admittedly the white wall isn't that big on them
>>29082951How would they? Cars these days come with cotton candy soft suspensions because avoiding potholes is a forgotten science
>>29083746actually, that clears things up. Only just noticed that the 'galaxy R1 radial GT' that I have are RWL, while the 'galaxy R1' pattern is the WSW
>>29082943Those motherfuckers have no traction in the wet but my god do they last a while, crosswind its pretty much the best shitbox tire if you can find em
>>29083750what? cars ride harder than ever
>>29083542You fuck tires?
>>29083229I have the spec Z on my Z which is craZy haha!
>>29084078carlos i'm going to disembowel you
>>29082943LingLongs and Chinese tires in general make amazing gifts for people you want to see dead.
>>29082948>not old enough to remember westlake
>>29084380>LingLongs and Chinese tires in general make amazing gifts for people you want to see dead.Chinese companies also change quality levels of products to make more product. Once the product introduction is over and the tire (or other product) has been checked by the government, and reviewers have posted their positive reviews of the product, cost-cutting can then start up in order to make the bigger profits. It's a common problem with the chinese way of doing business.
>>29084428The hardware store?
Post unheard of tire brands. Mabor was an actual local mfr, funded in the 50s/60s in partnership with General tires company, but they liquidated and the factory went to Continental. No idea who's behind the name nowadays; Norauto is French parts/service retail chain.
>>29084627People here spend $5k for a lift kit for their truck then put these pieces of shit on. They're always worn badly.
I've seen a lot of Sailun in my area. Crazy thing is mostly seems to be big German SUVs, these people should be able to afford proper tires.Meanwhile grandma in her 15-year old economy hatchback has brand new Continentals or Goodyears.
>>29084627Aren't Nexen Korean?Sava on the other hand is Slovenian and they're actually pretty decent tires for daily driving. Same middle of the road shit as Kormorans (Serbian) and Barums (Czech)
>>29084789Nexen is good, as well as Sava, both are pretty common round where I'm at. Cooper is also a well-known tyre make, not sure what any of them is doing in that pic.
>>29084627I've got some vredsteins A/Ts since they weren't too aggressive for mostly road use. Apparently they're well known among classic car drivers and well liked. I can't complain.
Anyone user Kumho tires? Korean brand. Only one tire shop in my city has them and was curious, as their offerings look decent
>>29084829Very common in Europe. Considered a good, quality upper mid-range brand. In tyre tests I've often seen Kumho brought up as punching above their weight in terms of price.
>>29084557>>29084380>continuing the eternal 'muh china bad quality' shitmost of the shit quality stuff from china doesnt get out of the mainland (most notably third rate cities and below) or ends up in south asian/african shitholes nobody ever heard off other than shitposters on the sharty.the issue is that a lot of stuff is just very dodgy due of incompetent fags that decided to make a factory due of the chinese economic boom and nepotism because their sugar mommies are in the CCP so they get millions in equivalent USD for their bullshit. also same issue as to why there's tofu dregs.while xi jinping tried to tackle the issue, its still present, much less but still.i'd actually trust shit from my country than things made in france car wise, because atleast the bad quality shit from my shithole is leftovers from incompetent retards, made in france bullshit is just genuine malevolence from the french who decided that 'hon hon hon anything sold outside of le héxagone is le dogshit!!!'.
>>29084939JFC Chang shut the fuck up, no one is falling for your bullshit.
>>29082943My daily drive isn't a shitbox.
>>29084939The only good Chinese products are ones manufactured with a non Chinese company overseeing production (Apple, etc).Chinese wholly owned companies?LolLmao evenNo fucking way
Go Korean. Not the best nor the cheapest but good enough and cheap enough.
>>29084965If I wanted to save money I'd go with one of the sub-brands of the big euros. BF Goodrich, Kleber, Barum etcDon't know about the availability of those in other regions though.
>>29082943>cost 3/4 of what a normal tire costs>last half of what a normal tire doesas they say, the cheapskate pays twice
>>29084939This Geely car failed the Latin NCAP with zero stars. Latin NCAP frequently awards 0 stars to entry-level vehicles lacking essential safety features like basic airbags or electronic stability control. What is NCAP? In the USA, the crash test ratings are administered by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) which rates cars with 1 to 5 stars. Europe has the Euro NCAP and Latin America has the Latin NCAP which rates from 0 to 5 stars. In 2017, due to the import of cars with excessive failures, Euro NCAP added Zero Stars.So Chinese-made cars can cause NCAP programs to change their rating programs to add Zero Stars as the new lowest possible score.
>>29084627>>29084789None of them, other than Mabor, and more recently Norauto, were ever been around. I knew Barum, but, afaik, never been around either.There's plenty more than those I posted, though, even known brands that weren't at all common here, nor low segment (Falken, Toyo, etc.)>>29084824Vredestein, though I haven't seen them much around, if at all, recently, used to be fairly common decades ago.
>>29085026>Chinese-made cars can cause NCAP programs to change their rating programsReminds me of the SAIC-built MG3 that caused some headaches at the Euro NCAP when the driver's seat came off its mountings in the crash test.They didn't have any rules for the seat rail failure since it's never happened in the history of Euro NCAP, so they just had to note that the driver dummy took some additional damage from its legs hitting the dashboard, with an added contribution by the driver's airbag not inflating fast enough.
>>29085026Fucking kek
>>29084939Biggest retard on o lol
>>29083568those are for the kei-cars, they're basically golf cars. Imagine paying ~$400 for a set of those. Tire shops here are such a scam.
>>29085030>They didn't have any rules for the seat rail failurethis sounds like bullshit and a very basic thing to have on a crash test that everyone would of course pass because it's easy.
>>29085143https://www.euroncap.com/assessments/mg/3/1057/it's not a secret, you can just look these things up
>>29084939>uh, all the shit quality stuff you see are just leftovers and surplus!!!!!!!!!!!!ok chang
>>29084939Wonderful bait, good job anon
>>29085143>Google
>>29085198I can't get over how the Chinese can't even make a fucking seat lmaoRip to that guy's spine
>>29084939>i'd actually trust shit from my country
>cheaping out on the only thing on the vehicle that touches the groundjust shut it down already holy shit. michelin, bf goodrich and nokian are the only things touching my vehicle. maybe Mickey Thompson if the easts winds blow north.
>>29085694Michelin is overpriced bullshit. BFG's are pieces of shit which is not surprising considering who makes them. Nokian makes the benchmark winter tire and their AT shits on the rest.
>>29085706>Michelin is overpriced bullshitThat's like saying Porsche is over priced bullshit.Overpriced? Sure.But if you want the best you gotta pay.
>>29085874Their performance tires might be top notch but their all seasons and AT's are shit.
>>29085706BFG offroad tires are the best
>>29085876What the fuck are you even talking about you dumb nigger the Cross Climate 2 is category defining in AS. Fuck you know nothing busrider
>>29085894They're actually the worst. They have shit traction in too many areas and they have way too many balancing/wear issues. >>29085899All weather tires are mutts and shit in general. CC2's only come in cuck sizes as well.
>>29082943Check out this jewish tricks.ADAC review of summer tiers, Linglong near or at the top in every individual category.Final ranking - at the bottom kek.
>>29085943now post max performance tires
>>29084939They would dare attempt to perform testing fakery with the official tests. They take some other manufacturer's car (such as GM), and then do such things as put their chinese model's skin on it, change over some parts that have USA patent or VIN codes on them to correspond to the chinese manufacturer.
>>29085943>>29085969Forgot linkhttps://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/2026-ADAC-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm
>>29085943>>29085982>worst efficiency>wears out more than twice as fastDid they make those out of winter tire rubber or something? At that wear rate, those are going to be bottom tier within a year.
>>29085982>grocery getter tires
>they fell for the baitje suis tellement intelligent
I need a rubber belt. The rubber belt cannot be sourced locally.>American made rubber belt>$40 for 1 (one) belt>China made rubber belt>$15 for 2 packs of 100 with varying sizes allowing replacement of all 4 belts. I'd also be seething and talking bad about China made stuff if I had to overpay for everything - even simple things such as a small rubber belt.
>>29086209literally me when bf goodrich radial T/As are 300-400 each while the vitours are 680 a set
>>29085918>they are the worstdelulu
>ChinaThe country that couldnt invent the wheel makes a good wheel?? Doubt.
>>29084428I guess not. First time I bought tires for a car was 2018. First time for a bike was 2017. In any case, we're talking about current year. Go ahead and buy the chinkshit tire as long as it's DOT approved. You might be able to skirt the rules and find some fly by night bullshit off of Alibaba that's a trailer tire(allegedly) but you get what I'm saying.
just buy hankook or some shit
>>29085876Cup 2s are decent but there are better options in that segment. PS4S are overrated as fuck
