However, Emilio Tiberio, Chief Technical Officer for Bridgestone West, noted that the low cost of Chinese tyres often comes at the cost of safety.
Is it? Speed limit here is 90km/h and a traffic light at every 100m, how fast can we go?

The price and cost of Chinese tyres do not match. If we look at performance, we see when it comes to critical aspects like stopping, you're in trouble.
Hello, your R&D engineer pay how much? China engineer how much? 1 Ang Moh Engineer pay already can employ 8-10 cina Engineer, they don't factor in the cost into their tyres ah consumers are not paying for the tyres, but also the Ferrari of the tyres engineers? Also compound, material more expensive don't mean better, it's the source and processing quality.


However, many motoring experts have warned that the more expensive tyres feature a higher grade of rubber, which can help them to last significantly longer without running out of tread.
Damned it! All those tyres like RE004, T1R tio scammed liao, they are all cheap cina tyres that wears off fast.

If china tyres needed more regular changing vs European counterparts, will the net cost still be lower ?

( Minus the time and effort to visit tyre shops )

You all do know that almost all Taxis and DiDi cars in China use china made tyres?

China expressway speed limit is 120km/hr.

China has rutted roads and cold and wet seasons.

So far there are No Sagat in China about these china made 'lousy' tyres.

I think foreign tyres companies may be panicking as they are losing market share.

FYI: even Singapore taxi/phv, even mercedes taxi, also using china made tyres for the past 10-20years....westlake, chengsin, Giti, tourado,etc etc.

How? Don't take Singapore taxi/PHV with china made tyres?
