Daft tyre names

[Rusty Pelican]

Not car tyres but Bicycle .

Surely DAE YUNG ( I read as die young ) takes a prize

I do like a tongue twister

Took these off my Accord recently.

Noisy, and not very grippy, although  7.5mm tread left.

Royal passenger 😂😂😂😂

[rickvw72]

When the previous owner said “I’ve just had these fitted” 

i was thinking “wish you didnt”

So obscure there’s not much on Google.

Didn't the Dragon Queen free all the slaves and kill the masters in Junkai? Game of Thrones fans will know.

So their sister brand is what, BAKH-ONE?

I guess you always know which ones go on which axle, helpfully labeled.

[bunglebus]

Double bubble, Chengshan and Roadcruza on the same car. Should have checked the other two

I went to see a car the other day with Powertrac CityRacing tyres on it. It was a diesel Volvo V70

It sounds like a euphemism for being desperate for a shit - "Move it grandma, I've got a Royal Passenger here!"

These were on a vehicle for sale on Faceache, I don't think I would have taken the time to photograph such utter tat

[Sham]

I always walk away from a car for sale where maintenance has been done in the cheapest possible way. Cheap tyres are the first sign of someone who doesn't care about the car.

Following this thread I’m reminded of a really old joke:

”How many condoms can you make from a car tyre?”

”365, if it’s a Goodyear………”

One for Meghan Markle if she'd stuck about over here?

I'd be less concerned about the tires than I'd be about the state of the wheels

[Leyland Worldmaster]

Have we had 'Joyroad' yet? 😁

[Cheggers]

There is a definite correlation between cheap-ass tyres and knackered alloys...

[bunglebus]

[horriblemercedes]

My Jaguar came with a set of Mohawk tyres. Presumably a lot of tread in the centre but none at the sides 

[martc]

In a similar vein, does anyone market a 'Tonsure' tyre?

[bunglebus]

Mmm, Trazano. That sounds quality to me

Yep I agree however I did buy one with super cheap and long life tyres and they were removed very swiftly - four contact patches smaller than the palm of your hand is all that keeps you on the road - you don't need to buy Michelin Pilot Sport 4's but there is a world of difference between tyres at the bottom and middle of the marketplace

We've seen Sailuns, have we had Sailwins?

My tactic, which seems to have worked so far, is to buy the cheapest tyres from a brand I've heard of.

Thus, the 316i is on Kumho Ecowings and the Saab is on a set of Avon something or others that turned out to be A-rated for wet grip. Both cars ended up being under £200 per full set.

I tend to favour Uniroyals & Kumho as a general rule - however I've recently had to purchase Falken and  Hankook (because I cannot get anything other than those in the right matched tyre combo for two of my cars)

I have run Bridgestones but they always seem very stiff walled, Goodyear EG's (incredibly soft walled - way worse than Uniroyals)

But now you've read this thread, you'll have to buy some Triangles

[richykitchy]

I don't know if they've been submitted yet, but our S-Max is currently sitting on RoadHogs!
