rickvw72 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 My recently acquired Accord has a pair of Royal Blacks on the back. They are shit beyond words. So rubbish they seem to not even feature on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a video of the very modern looking factory on Orium's website and it's got the look of southern Europe to me - perhaps a former eastern bloc factory? Being in league with the filthy capitalists at Goodrich in the 70's suggests it could be somewhere in the former Yugoslavia rather than one of the 'harder' Peoples Republics. https://passenger-car.orium-tyres.com/history/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looking for info on Orium I stumbled across another 'mystery' brand - Zestino Tyres. They make racing slicks and 'drifting' tyres - something I'm not sure I would want to advertise. ZESTINO is a new tire brand intended for motorsport – drift, rally, circuit. Design and production technology is used from Japan. ZESTINO TIRES EUROPE is the exlusive importer and distributor of these tires to Europe. Zestino are based in Slovakia, but the mealy mouthed wording used above implies that they could be Chinese... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The tyres that used to come as stock on Lada Riva's back in the 80's made me smile as they had Cyrillic writing on them - they lasted forever as they were super hard, had feck all grip mind you. Modern day Russian tyres have flowers on them. warch, chodweaver and sutty2006 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern day Russian tyres have flowers on them. That technology was pioneered I think on pushbike tyres first - Veredenstein's 'Flower Power'. Something to do with dandelions having rubber-like compounds in their roots. Tenmil Socket and UltraWomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew353w Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I recently had a flat in my Daf 33 & had to fit the spare. Although I'd fitted 4 new Firestone 135/80R13s about 18 months ago, I didn't change the spare. It looked O.K., it held the pressure, so I fitted it... Does ANYONE know if Serbia and Montenegro are known for their tyre manufacturing..... bunglebus and warch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
