Foreign Used Tyres?

[De Dragon]

I used foreign used tyre for 2 years on my hatch which I solodexed, I went through 2 pairs in the back and 4 pairs in front, mostly goodyear eagle F1s, they are the freakin bomb. Never had a blowout, an the tyres performed excellently on an off the course. Bought most of them from that place jus off couva flyover, can't remember the name. I always check manufacture date an for any cracks or embedded screws or previous repairs.

Use to swear by this place and those tyres when I had the Civic. Just know that you have to trawl through some good heaps ah tyre to get ah good set!

A set of FU Continental, Goodyear, Bridgestone or Dunlop tyres better than a set of new nexxens in my book... I buy FU tyres and i never had a blowout... I tried nexxens once and the walls started to crack and the traction was poor...

Will be trying some Michelin Pilot Exalto F.U. this weekend. How much ya think one of those would be new?

[*$kїđž!™]

Don't think you can get them new in Trinidad.

[sleeper]

[X_Factor]

decent new tyres are becoming increasingly hard to find and they cost quite a few 100.00 bills
i'll roll on f.used till i can afford the new

doesnt have like a best place for f.used tires....its just your luck kinda thing
check any/everywhere that sells them

however, the places that stand out for me are
John's in couva
Chippy's in Chaguanas

Buying foreign used tyres from him like 10 yrs now , if I have a problem with any one he just exchanges them.

[toyolink]

I am of the view that people generally buy what they can afford and if FU used tyres are viable so be it.
When I attended UWI and had to rely on an old MARINA for transport I used to buy local used tyres at about $2-$5 each just to get around.My speed at which I drove rarely got over 30mph and I was just thankful about not having to tote a ton load of text and papers and fight for transport.
Yes,I had to buy tyres every week.
I must admit things were real bad and conditions helped to allow me to survive.
Today,is a real different story and I am not for a minute suggesting that others should follow what I did then.

So after 3 months I finally decided I couldn't handle the noise from the BCT's i had. Mind you, they were new tyres I got with the rims I bought in debe. I checked a few places and 215/45-17, and worse yet 205/45-17 were really hard to get but I called Rattansingh's on Montrose Main Rd and they had so I checked them, got 2 Continentals and 2 Dunlop Sport 3000 for $200 each. I out the Continentals up front. Now the car is silent as ever and the tyres perform very well in both wet and dry. At this price i hav absolutely no complaints, especially as all four tyres hav around 50% life

[BrotherHood]

Once I buy brand new. Other than that is FU. Only bought brand new for my new(local used) Mitsubishi. All the foreign used I have bought and dealt with, I had no problems. I am from the west and I have bought tyres from Diego to Curepe.

i used foreign used tyres years ago...used to go to a tyre shop up santa cruz (on the bend) to get for when i had 17s. also used to go by deans in diego martin.

honestly i find they dont last and prefer buying new ones. they were good eh but i find i would only get a few months out of them while with new tyres i get years. so it come up almost the same in cost. you also have to worry about getting faulty tyres.

the quality may have changed since...because more ppl bringing it in now. but i still prefer buying new.

but i believe singhs tyre shop in couva supplies most of tnt so u could check them

brought a set of 18inch winter tires to use during the rainy season.

$200 each

[Gool]

winter tyres? um.. so if u hit a patch of water on d highway n go sdeways doh blame d rain or d road eh lol!

[Gool]

FU tyres that are actual brand name wayyy better than new, low quality tyres... which is mostly what we have here in trinidad.

i have been buying tyres from Chippy's since 2001. D prob there is if you want top condition ones you hadda go upstairs in d moutain of tyres and search yourself.

[xtech]

True that I never let them choose for me

Most people just don't have time to do search themselves an end up with 45-50% life tires.

I always search out sets with 80-90% life.

winter tires aquaplane?

Worked very good yesterday on the hi way in very heavy rain better than summer tires or even aqua thread tires. U need to take a good look at them when u get a chance



Brought a set of these pirelli winter tyres with 90% life left

[crazybalhead]

Used to run foreign used. Ain't nobady gat time fo dat this rounds.
