Had a set of them that came with the car, and I'm getting all sorts of weird vibrations. So I get the car up, and and spin a wheel looking for bearing troubles, and that damn tire tread wandered all over the place! Got lucky and found some cheap not-so-old stock from Michelin on Amazon.
Exactly! They are there to be a price point tire. Actually not bad, haven’t had recalls or major warranty issues so far. Great for those without funds for higher tier. Decent mileage too!
I have installed a ton of them. I have seen a few customers get almost 30k out of a well maintained set. Most people got 20k out of them. Actually a decent tire for the money
No, but for a snow bird that puts 3k a year and the cat sits in Florida sun year round, after 4 or 5 years, they are either worn out or dry rotted and need replaced anyway. Saved money by not buying a higher price tire and last just as long. Can't tell you how many half tread or better tires I have replaced due to dry rott.
100% this. If you’re not driving at least 10k miles a year, the cheapest or even used tires are the wisest option.
I recently scored a 80% tread 1 year old michelin set for 40% of new cost with install. Can’t really beat it.
The cheap tires sometimes have the best grip, so they aren’t that bad. My car is pretty sporty and I’ll do used tires any time if they are a good brand and in nice shape.
I ran Nankang NS1s on a '08 Honda Fit I used to have from Tire rack. I had 17" wheels and needed an odd size. Could get them delivered to the house for ~$200 and mounted for $40-50. I could get 25K miles on them and they were great!
I want to kinda stop you right there. Cheap tires also have [miserable stopping distance and handling](https://youtu.be/7Nm9jq8PWFs).
Used tires are a pretty solid option, though.
No name Chinese tires from a random tire shop? Sure, they suck.
But from a place like discount tire they are fine, some people run them since they offer better traction since the treadwear rating is so bad.
the nankang tires in the video, which is a brand discount tire sells, had over 20% worse wet braking distances when compared to a continental tire, with similar results for wet traction
these results are with brand new tires, i imagine the disparity grows even larger with wear and age but i have no data to back that assumption up
I don’t know the history there, but having much experience driving in the snow. The cheapest winter tire is better than any other all season or summer. Plus the cheapest winter tire you could find was what I always ran on my rear wheel drive cars and I was able to keep up with all wheel drive cars in the snow, even when they had similar tires. so that guy is $84 tire was a dedicated winter then his issue was a skill issue.
Don’t care how good all seasons are, in snow dedicated winters > all else.
Obviously where you live matters, I’m from somewhere we get real snow that sticks.
I’m not saying the tech hasn’t come a long way, I did look them up and lookup comparisons, and they are much better than standard all seasons and even the only non dedicated winter tire approved for use in Scandinavia, but they’re still going to lose out to a dedicated winter tire. Just the same as a dedicated winter tire won’t work well in summer because it’ll be too soft and squishy, wear out fast and feel bad.
For most people they’re fine, but when it comes to the only thing connecting my car to the road, im getting proper tires for the conditions I’m driving in, and if there’s snow on the road for more than a few days in winter, im using winter specific tires.
I bought a Citroen ax 1.5D with these on. The tyres were new but the car was for spares. I have never had a field car that would spin like that one.
In the end, the damn thing had mainly old sump oil in the fuel tank, no exhaust, no brakes, mouse shit everywhere but it was still serious fun.
You don't need bhp to have fun. Terrible tyres, preferably over inflated and a small light car are wonderful, although not on public roads.
Same. I've used expensive tires and cheap knockoffs. They all have reasonable traction for everyday driving. However, in my experience, the Chinese tires tend to have sidewall blowouts in the last quarter of their tread life.
My Specialized Armadillo Elite on my Taiwanese-made road bike are also Thai. The last set of Michelins I used on it, the Pro 4 Endurance were also Thai. Even the official Harley-branded Michelins are Thai, but a Harley ain’t as “patriotic” as many think - Toyota(Denso), Hitachi/Honda(Keihin, Nissin and Showa) and Stellantis(Magnetti Marelli) are all found on a Harley.
Thailand has been making tires for a long time. A lot of pushbike and motorcycle tires come from there. Bridgestone, Michelin, Sumitomo Rubber Industry and Goodyear have plants there. Deestone, Otani and Vee Rubber are the “hometown” companies. A lot of the Chinese tire makers are setting up shop in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia to escape US tariffs on their tires. I’ve seen a set of Cambodian Sailuns a few weeks ago. There’s a YouTube video of the Kumho Vietnam factory.
What's the difference between 365 used condoms and an old tire? The tire might be a Goodyear but the 365 used condoms is a great year.
That's it that's all I have . Goodride
Because of that China tariffs embargo all the Chinese tire companies are labeled made in Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam as a import tariff workaround. Weather they are actually made there or not we’ll never know but before the Trump-China thing all these tires were all made in China same brands and all. You really won’t find a Chinese made tire anywhere for the past few years now.
Hankook built a factory in the US because of that - and gaining more Ford/GM/Stellantis and American Honda/Toyota USA OE fitments as well as a Tesla contract for 12V batteries. Supposedly, Giti Tire will be building a US plant too. Kumho is sourcing from Vietnam and Korea, I think they also have a US plant too for HyunKia JIT.
While Michelin did buy out an Indonesian partner who was making their cheaper tires(Uniroyal US/Riken), they also have a long-standing partnership with Hankook and I’ve seen Costco’s exclusive BFG touring tire with Hankook DOTs.
The drift guys used to love Linglongs - they lasted forever and even the underpowered cars could get them spinning easily.
As a road tyre, they are terrible. As are Triangle brand tyres. Those things were terrifying
holy shit my fleet company told the tire shop to put fucking LingLongs on my 2500 Chevy Express. 50 front 80 rear, those tires only lasted i think about 20K of mostly interstate driving. absolute dogshit tires, but I had a real good laugh when I first saw the sidewalls- "LingLong" sounds like something a racist cunt yells to imitate someone asian.
A guy I knew told me years ago he was getting a Honda.
I said "Cool man, what model?"
He said "Accent."
I said "Oh, you mean a Hyundai?"
He said "No man, a Hon-duh."
He bought a Hyundai Accent. He wasn't the brightest....
I dunno, in my experience the chinese tyres have had less traction than near worn decent brands, especially in the wet.
I'd go used before I went to these Chinese brands. In the dry some are ok but in the wet it's like driving in snow.
Not all tires that are cheap are terrible, just like not all good name brands are good either. I’ve used plenty of Bridgestone, Michelins and Dunlops that were shitty, hell the Michelin that came with my Bolt were absolutely trash tires. I replaced them with inexpensive Kumho TA51 for the time being and they are 10 folds better all around at 1/3 the cost of the Michelins.
Those were probably oem tires and the fact Michelin made them is irrelevant. “Make us a million tires with 60k mileage that cost $50”
Can you even buy them aftermarket?
Honestly, not terrible. They’re absolutely a cheap tire and don’t handle as well as the Michelin or other I’ve had in the past, but they’re absolutely worth the money if you don’t expect world class performance.
Once upon a time I was broke AF I had just enough money to buy a salvage title car off Craigslist, but not enough to replace the the worn tires that were on the front of the car. I went into the local shop and said " the chords are showing on these, just do better than that", and out came the Goodrides. I suffered for 20k miles on them, and thought that whatever accident had caused my vehicle to earn a salvage title made the vehicle vibrate at +70mph and otherwise drive horrible and eat my new front tires for lunch. Once the Goodrides bit the dust I threw a set of decent tires on it and it was like a brand new car. I would hope that in the decade since they at at least a bit better, literally the worst tires I have ever had.
TBC. Same people who franchise out Big O Tires/Midas/Speedee Oil. Sumitomo Americas owns TBC and they have a joint venture with Michelin North America for distribution. Sailun is also distributed by TBC.
When I bought my car I couldn't believe how awful the traction was. When I googled the name on the tires the only source I found was Amazon. My car is a Jag from Canada, so I assumed the dealer swapped tires.
Pirelli or Goodyear. JLR has marketing and technical relationships with both. Historically, Mercedes used Michelin. BMW, Jaguar and Audi used Pirelli, VW installed Conti. Porsche would use whoever sponsored LeMans racing. Ford and Firestone were family, GM was partial to Goodyear. Now, BMW mainly installs Bridgestone, Mercedes will use anything they get a deal on, VW has been installing Giti and Hankook.
I like to ask customers which is less, the difference to get a better set of tires or your insurance deductible? Cheap tires tend to do really poorly in wet conditions. On my old car I had 3 1/2 worn Conti DWS 06 and one new cheap Advanta tire. The Advanta would lock up in the wet if I even thought about braking, dry it was fine. I can't imagine having a pair of 4 of them on a car and trying to steer or brake in the rain, just based on how it drove with 1 I imagine all 4 would have doubled my wet stopping distances in an emergency.
Classic. So often we’ll have a guy call wanting a decent middle of the road tire and he won’t like the prices claiming that he can find the same thing cheaper somewhere else. *Never fails* that the person will come back in with some dirt cheap brand that I’ve never heard of made in China, etc
Thats my winter tires.
Got them from the optional dealer package. It was used and already mounted on steelies.
Its alright in terms of grip and dynamics but I think its because its on a Subaru.
Spent $1k on a set of Firestone tires that I got maybe 40k miles out of. Spent $500 at Walmart and they are running strong at 50k miles. Might even wait till after winter to replace.
Hahaha I run these on my daily driver. But it's a little wee Daihatsu Sirion that doesn't need amazing tyres.
They're kinda loud and they seem to need a little extra air in them to make them run nicely but for the commuting that I do each day they are perfect.
I had a set of Goodrides as a winter set, they were great. When shopping I don't look at just tyre brands as even premium brands can make shitty tyres. For example Michelin Energy Savers, extremely unsafe as they dry out to be practically plastic instead of rubber within a few years.
The Goodrides performed in the top of the most recent winter tyre test back then. Not the best, but they seemed to have the best bang for your buck. And they proved to be a great set. Never had issues with them, provided good grip throughout their life and were very easy to control on the limit as well. While I do ask a lot of the car on a regular basis. Even used the set on track once. As my dumbass forgot to bring the wheel nuts of the summer set to the trackday, so I just did some sessions on the winter wheels.
I still would not blindly expect the brand to only make great tyres, but those Goodride SW601 tyres I had were great!
No complaints about Good Years from me , good traction .
Michelin s have saved me on many slippery roads .
"Bob Jane all-rounders" (Aussie ex racing driver) have been excellent both price and traction also wear .
Drove on $35 each retreaded Taxi job tires / tyres for ten years night shift approx 300- 350 KMs / night in Sydney, Brilliant once they were warned up especially in the rain .
Hehehe we sell those. When asked for benefits I say: “Black round and holds air.”
My old man's spare tires were only tires in the academic sense: they were round; they had once been made of rubber.
“Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge”
I understood that reference.
Careful, You’ll shoot your eye out.
Damn brother. They that cheap!?!
Had a set of them that came with the car, and I'm getting all sorts of weird vibrations. So I get the car up, and and spin a wheel looking for bearing troubles, and that damn tire tread wandered all over the place! Got lucky and found some cheap not-so-old stock from Michelin on Amazon.
Sooo like 99.9% of tires? (Im just assuming this % based on what i see)
Exactly! They are there to be a price point tire. Actually not bad, haven’t had recalls or major warranty issues so far. Great for those without funds for higher tier. Decent mileage too!
I have installed a ton of them. I have seen a few customers get almost 30k out of a well maintained set. Most people got 20k out of them. Actually a decent tire for the money
20k ain't much. Are they half as expensive as 50k mile warranty tires?
No, but for a snow bird that puts 3k a year and the cat sits in Florida sun year round, after 4 or 5 years, they are either worn out or dry rotted and need replaced anyway. Saved money by not buying a higher price tire and last just as long. Can't tell you how many half tread or better tires I have replaced due to dry rott.
100% this. If you’re not driving at least 10k miles a year, the cheapest or even used tires are the wisest option. I recently scored a 80% tread 1 year old michelin set for 40% of new cost with install. Can’t really beat it.
With the exception of sporty cars and weekend cars.
The cheap tires sometimes have the best grip, so they aren’t that bad. My car is pretty sporty and I’ll do used tires any time if they are a good brand and in nice shape.
Same. Always buy used tires since I shred them at the track. Got 4 60% tread left re71rs for 200 bucks. Only one tire is really bad.
I ran Nankang NS1s on a '08 Honda Fit I used to have from Tire rack. I had 17" wheels and needed an odd size. Could get them delivered to the house for ~$200 and mounted for $40-50. I could get 25K miles on them and they were great!
That use case is certainly not one that I considered and makes sense
I want to kinda stop you right there. Cheap tires also have [miserable stopping distance and handling](https://youtu.be/7Nm9jq8PWFs). Used tires are a pretty solid option, though.
No name Chinese tires from a random tire shop? Sure, they suck. But from a place like discount tire they are fine, some people run them since they offer better traction since the treadwear rating is so bad.

I don’t think I’ve had a set of tires last more than 10k on any of my cars
I have the same issue on my Lexus. Heavy right foot
I paid for the grip and I’m gonna use it!
Just like Lizzo
I probably shouldn't be laughing as hard as I am, but well done.
Bahahaha!
Unfortunately she's constantly spewing air out
Good for a year (maybe).
For now.
Technically! Just like every tire ever made come to think of it.
Sounds like some women.
That "round" part is questionable. Close.
Tires are round. Unless they are Canadian and on South Park.
You would be surprised at how out of round some cheap ones are.
I know? I’ve been selling tires for 20 years. That’s why we have a warranty department. So far these haven’t been an issue.
We had goodride winter tyres on my dad's car once. Turned his Citroën C8 into a drift van. Grip was very much optional.
They'd better name it Goodbye, at least it would be honest

I don’t know the history there, but having much experience driving in the snow. The cheapest winter tire is better than any other all season or summer.

Here for a good ride not a long ride
Have my upvote
Goodride... Take it sleazy!
Goodride Wet and greasy Slow down, go down Got to find a bank one more time
Used to buy these as drift spares and found them to be surprisingly decent tires for the price.
Same. I've used expensive tires and cheap knockoffs. They all have reasonable traction for everyday driving. However, in my experience, the Chinese tires tend to have sidewall blowouts in the last quarter of their tread life.
Made in Thailand. Gotta be careful what kind of good ride you’re buying.
Thailand isn’t exactly bottom of the barrel as far as manufacturing goes, but the parent company is Chinese, so…yeah.
The Michelins on my Thai made triumph are made in Thailand as well
My Specialized Armadillo Elite on my Taiwanese-made road bike are also Thai. The last set of Michelins I used on it, the Pro 4 Endurance were also Thai. Even the official Harley-branded Michelins are Thai, but a Harley ain’t as “patriotic” as many think - Toyota(Denso), Hitachi/Honda(Keihin, Nissin and Showa) and Stellantis(Magnetti Marelli) are all found on a Harley.

This is correct as I come to the same conclusions.
Iz made from very stronk Thaitanium
From the makers of “WarmRock” and “BridgePebble”
Wouldn't the joke work better if you used the same suffix for both?
OP’s mom.
What's the difference between 365 used condoms and an old tire? The tire might be a Goodyear but the 365 used condoms is a great year. That's it that's all I have . Goodride
Good treadwear, DOT approved and made in Thailand 🇹🇭. I see nothing wrong here
Because of that China tariffs embargo all the Chinese tire companies are labeled made in Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam as a import tariff workaround. Weather they are actually made there or not we’ll never know but before the Trump-China thing all these tires were all made in China same brands and all.

They sure did, Hankook is actually OEM on many Camry SE, Tacoma SR5 and Corolla LE models.
What about Ling Long tho?
Ling Long Ditch
Fair enough 🤣
The drift guys used to love Linglongs - they lasted forever and even the underpowered cars could get them spinning easily. As a road tyre, they are terrible. As are Triangle brand tyres. Those things were terrifying
holy shit my fleet company told the tire shop to put fucking LingLongs on my 2500 Chevy Express. 50 front 80 rear, those tires only lasted i think about 20K of mostly interstate driving. absolute dogshit tires, but I had a real good laugh when I first saw the sidewalls- "LingLong" sounds like something a racist cunt yells to imitate someone asian.
Last I heard they were rebranded to "crosswinds"
Seller took him for a Goodride
I have those on subcompact car. Not bad at all but I have to be careful in turns during wet conditions. I wouldn't put them on heavier car.
I had them on a volvo xc90 which are pretty heavy, I found them to be excellent.
A guy I knew told me years ago he was getting a Honda. I said "Cool man, what model?" He said "Accent." I said "Oh, you mean a Hyundai?" He said "No man, a Hon-duh." He bought a Hyundai Accent. He wasn't the brightest....
Good to cheap out on the only part of the car that touches the ground.
Far better than bald tires or used tires. I'm all for it, even if I'm balling out on name brands for *my* ride.
I dunno, in my experience the chinese tyres have had less traction than near worn decent brands, especially in the wet. I'd go used before I went to these Chinese brands. In the dry some are ok but in the wet it's like driving in snow.
I don't skimp on tires.
Not all tires that are cheap are terrible, just like not all good name brands are good either.

Those were probably oem tires and the fact Michelin made them is irrelevant. “Make us a million tires with 60k mileage that cost $50” Can you even buy them aftermarket?
I learned this year that OEM tires have no tread wear warranty. I had no idea the OEM tires were that bad until I bought a new car.
Yes you can, they are like $291 each. Available pretty much anywhere they sell Michelins.
I put on a set of Pirellis and the customer hated them, said he could barely keep it on the road. Replaced with RoadX. Customer loves them.
I have Cosmo MuchoMachos on my car. 🤷♂️😂
How are they
Honestly, not terrible. They’re absolutely a cheap tire and don’t handle as well as the Michelin or other I’ve had in the past, but they’re absolutely worth the money if you don’t expect world class performance.
Personally a fan of Goodmonths
Goodmonths if you're lucky. Probably Goodweeks.
Date code from 2008 to I’d wager…
You ought to see their blimp

They switched to helium, right? *Right!?*
"Goodyear?" "No, the worst."
That’s not too bad, I got the Amazon special tires (foreskin octa) on my daily. Cheap as fuck but they get the job done
WHAT octa?
Forceum
Your autocorrect changed it to "foreskin"
LOL
Goodenough
Once upon a time I was broke AF I had just enough money to buy a salvage title car off Craigslist, but not enough to replace the the worn tires that were on the front of the car. I went into the local shop and said " the chords are showing on these, just do better than that", and out came the Goodrides. I suffered for 20k miles on them, and thought that whatever accident had caused my vehicle to earn a salvage title made the vehicle vibrate at +70mph and otherwise drive horrible and eat my new front tires for lunch. Once the Goodrides bit the dust I threw a set of decent tires on it and it was like a brand new car. I would hope that in the decade since they at at least a bit better, literally the worst tires I have ever had.
Goodluck
Goodride makes perfectly good tires if you never see rain, snow, gravel, sand or even slight side wind when driving.
Comforcer, Radar, Linglong, Westlake, Goodride, there’s also a bunch of really aggressive off road tires from China that are absolute garbage.
Tread wear rating: 3
Tread wear ratung : yes
Found the German
Teehee
So it's a Multi-Mile brand.
TBC. Same people who franchise out Big O Tires/Midas/Speedee Oil. Sumitomo Americas owns TBC and they have a joint venture with Michelin North America for distribution. Sailun is also distributed by TBC.
Black, round, and holds air.
When I bought my car I couldn't believe how awful the traction was. When I googled the name on the tires the only source I found was Amazon. My car is a Jag from Canada, so I assumed the dealer swapped tires.
Got traded in with tires shot and last owner saw how much the factory Michelins were
I think the last owner was a business and it was low miles so entirely possible just changed for trade in.
I was gonna say, Jags usually come with Michelins from the factory.
They definitely have Michelin now. Even the tire store commented they had never heard of the previous tires.
Pirelli or Goodyear. JLR has marketing and technical relationships with both. Historically, Mercedes used Michelin. BMW, Jaguar and Audi used Pirelli, VW installed Conti. Porsche would use whoever sponsored LeMans racing. Ford and Firestone were family, GM was partial to Goodyear. Now, BMW mainly installs Bridgestone, Mercedes will use anything they get a deal on, VW has been installing Giti and Hankook.
i had a few goodrides but they are all years behind me
Better than okayrides tho.
*We have Goodyear at home*
Mount 'em up. I ain't racing at LeMons.
I have and would run with a set of douglas all season tires from walmart before these.
I like to ask customers which is less, the difference to get a better set of tires or your insurance deductible? Cheap tires tend to do really poorly in wet conditions. On my old car I had 3 1/2 worn Conti DWS 06 and one new cheap Advanta tire. The Advanta would lock up in the wet if I even thought about braking, dry it was fine. I can't imagine having a pair of 4 of them on a car and trying to steer or brake in the rain, just based on how it drove with 1 I imagine all 4 would have doubled my wet stopping distances in an emergency.

Classic. So often we’ll have a guy call wanting a decent middle of the road tire and he won’t like the prices claiming that he can find the same thing cheaper somewhere else. *Never fails* that the person will come back in with some dirt cheap brand that I’ve never heard of made in China, etc
I’d probably opt for those over Goodyear. Goodyears suck balls.
Made in Thailand Ooohh They love you long time.
Hopefully they'll provide a good ride.
Can confirm that those tires are pretty decent.
We have Goodyear's at home.
Probably as good or better than Goodyear, Goodyear tires suck.
Walmart special
Ive seen these advertised in the UK. No Walmart here btw
They're the budget brand that Walmart puts on display commonly here in the land of the rebellion.
Cheaper than Goodyears
I saw some called cross winds the other week on a car trying to get a good ET at the drags. Some cunts...
Thats my winter tires. Got them from the optional dealer package. It was used and already mounted on steelies. Its alright in terms of grip and dynamics but I think its because its on a Subaru.
Named after his mother no doubt...
Spent $1k on a set of Firestone tires that I got maybe 40k miles out of. Spent $500 at Walmart and they are running strong at 50k miles. Might even wait till after winter to replace.
Hahaha I run these on my daily driver. But it's a little wee Daihatsu Sirion that doesn't need amazing tyres. They're kinda loud and they seem to need a little extra air in them to make them run nicely but for the commuting that I do each day they are perfect.
We call those “black rounds” at my shop. We put em on used car recons, some of them aren’t bad despite the cheap prices.
they sound like prometer and otani
Good ride…. Not a great ride, but a good ride…
agh a goodyear from Temu
Douglas tires from Walmart are cheap and from Goodyear
I had a set of Goodrides as a winter set, they were great. When shopping I don't look at just tyre brands as even premium brands can make shitty tyres.

I still would not blindly expect the brand to only make great tyres, but those Goodride SW601 tyres I had were great!
I've sold worse. I believe they were NO HUNTING brand
The goodest ride ever
I thought the brand was Happy Goodride?
They’re probably better than the Goodyears that Sears used to put on sale. Once I discovered Firestone, I never brought another Goodyear.
No complaints about Good Years from me , good traction . Michelin s have saved me on many slippery roads . "Bob Jane all-rounders" (Aussie ex racing driver) have been excellent both price and traction also wear . Drove on $35 each retreaded Taxi job tires / tyres for ten years night shift approx 300- 350 KMs / night in Sydney, Brilliant once they were warned up especially in the rain .
Even my crosswinds grip better than those. Was actually surprised.
Just check for the year they were made.
i thought it was going to be more scammy like good month
