I bought expensive tyres and got two nails in them, on the sidewalls .. 3 weeks old, tyres in the bin ... thats why I buy budget tyres
you got served
Agree
Buy re inforced then?
Many Tyre Retailers do give Lifetime Warranty against that type of damage, then again well branded mid range Tyres on, "Special" could well be the way to go, when you're stuck driving along the highway moving along with Semi Trailers either side of you in a subtropical thunderstorm it's then you're glad you have decent tyres on each corner and that you have had the brakes checked recently...
Bad argument. I bought good tires, and its been four without any issues. I highly doubt a cheap tire could have done that.
Buying tires is like buying anything else. You get the best you can buy with the budget you have. Rich people can be safer on the road than poor people (providing they are willing to spend the money). Always was, always will be.
Sad but true....
Bridgestone aoo1 all round on both our cars....better out there but these do the job
Exactly. Buy the very best you can afford.
Moi MacArt the cost of repairing a crash from the cheap tyres will end up more expensive.
And do you know why the rich have more money? Because they spend more on tyres and don't have expensive insurance premiums after nasty accidents that could've been avoided with better tyres.
If you push your tyres to hard then you will find they all have a limit
Drive to the conditions, always leave good gaps, read the road and look ahead, smooth driving is best and safest.
I had PS3 for around 40.000km. The best tires I ever had. On all weather conditions it felt like there was glue on the road, and when breaking both wet and dry it felt like there were anchors pulling me back on the seat. A bit noisy, yes. Best tires ever for me. Thank you Michelin
Certainly good tires.When mines will need a change,I defenitely will choose pilot sports.
michelin are the quietest tires
“And this add is sponsored by Continental Tyres” yeah ok, I used to do 30,000 miles a year on budget tyres. I ain’t saying they are all good tyres, but you can look at reviews, just as you can for tyres costing 3 times the price.
When i bought my mustang in 2005 i bought cheap tires ( at the time ) for the front. I would constantly take it over 140mph and do alot of breaking. Best tires ever. I still buy them but the price has gone up on the exact tires due to popularity goin up with them. All you got to do is inspect the tires before you drive especially long distances . Keep them at the proper inflation. And dont hit any curbs and you will be fine with the cheap ones.
I DRIVE TIR FROM 1985 WITHOUT STOP.
AND I CAN TELL YOU.
THE SPEED KILLS
THE ALCOOL KILLS
THE STUPID KILLS.
THE UNEXPERIENCED KILLS
I always go to costco for tyres.
Often do deals on 4 michelins.
I have bought them when the deals running & then had them fitted later when I needed them.
When wages go up to match the skyrocketing cost of living, then I will buy the more expensive tires. Until then I'm driving with whatever bald tires are currently on my old piece of junk.
Are you still alive??
i don´t want to say anything but seriously your safing money on the wrong and here and could pay it with your life in the end! tires are not something to safe money on
Willilly Bab, yo, jew? When you got car? where is you horsebuggi?
He still hasn't replied to Pileits. Guess he didn't survive.
Willilly Bab lkiujjjy
Excellent review! Both fast and comprehensive, fantastic work guys! Thank you very much!
very simple review.
I'm on my third set of nexen nferas and I love them, I get about 15 k . That's responsibly hard street driving, no issues whatsoever.
i hear a lot of good things about nexen tyres they seem to be a good brand for what they are priced at
Arrow speeds are what they give you at Kwik fit as cheapest option
its fine now all tryes have a A-E rating I've got rain sport 3 rated A in the rain so can't get any better surely it also depends what car you drive, some naturally break better than others,
Agreed! As long as you're not driving, in a car, or anywhere near anything with wheels.
Thanks for this video
The funny part is a tire brand like Uniroyal is considered a budget/cheap tire. But the company is owned by the Michelin.
Malith Perera I've found no review comparing budget Tyres by cheap brand of a premium Group to Chinese Tyres.
piergiutube I would still put Uniroyals to my car but wouldn't trust Chinese tires in my car. At least we know Uniroyals are made by Michelin not by another unknown tire company.
IOI the most funny thing in this video is it SUNEW vs Michelin, its like honda vs Benz. SUNEW is a chinese make entre level tyre, its price just 1/4 or 1/3 of the Michelin, for its price it does good enough.
I had brand new Continental Eco Contact Tyres on my last car, worst tyres ever used practically zero grip if a slightest hint of frost.
Totally agree
Picked the wrong cheap tires, the Ohtsu FP8000 are the reincarnation of the Falken 512, known for their wet traction.
I have goodyear efficient grips at the mo theyve nearly a year and 7k miles so far and indeed they do have an efficient grip set of 4 and tracking front and back £355
nankang would be a good contender or lexani, lionheart, accelera. why sunew?
just bought two new compasal tyres , so far so good
Tires have a ton to do with the car, and your plans for the car. If you are going to be selling your car soon, buy cheap off brand tires, you don't want to give amazing long lasting tires to some stranger you don't know who's about to buy your car. If you have a really crappy old car, your car sucks anyway so buy cheap off brand tires and just drive slow in adverse conditions. Also if your car is really old and crappy the transmission may go out or you might throw a rod. Great idea! Let's buy a $500 set of tires on a car worth $1500 and then have the engine go out and completely burn your $500 along with it! If you have a nice car, buy nice tires. Plan on having your car a while? Buy nice tires.
all the big name tires are made in the same factories
Here in the Japan Alps, I'm on snow tyres year round. Buy your winter tyres in summer. Obvious when you think about it, and I'm off road a lot of the time, sometimes intentionally. So no point in balancing.
Buying the best tyres you can makes a lot of sense. Even when you fit yourself (which I do), there's the same amount of effort. Recycle tyres are dirt cheap here in Japan. Bottom line, everything second hand is better in Japan than UK. A set of four 16-inch almost new, never punctured will set you back between Stg.50-100, equivalent. The dealers make their profit on fitting, balancing, fitting new valves and disposing of the old tyres.
Disposal can be an issue, but don't be tempted to dump in the corner of the supermarket carpark, or even the auction car park.
Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
I use Churchill and Kormoran mid range. Good tyres and they last a long time....
What is your take of milestar tires?
Yes get the best, because everyone should drive like they are at a race track
It’s about which one will save your life in an emergency…
Well, If you were out in the snow and in traffic your situation is going to be totally different to this video in an emergency. If you watch other "premium brands" being compared to each other you'll be amazed that there really is no clear winner as some are bad in the wet, others are better in the corners etc etc. It drives you mad trying to choose.
At the end of the day when you visit your local tyre fitter he's going to give you the options on what he has in stock and you're going to pick the cheapest or the next one up. You're not going to stand there wondering which one and chose without youtube or test sites to look at. When was the last time you went to the tyre fitters in the summer and said I want a Michelin not an Pirelli?? I can't see there being a large difference with Winter tyres as long as you're not driving stupid. Everyone goes extra careful anyway, and they say these are better than summer tyres so any winter tyre is better than not at all.
oh cool she lives on the Canarys... meet you there?
People buy tires online today....
MichelinPilotsports here. Driving is mad here in Belgium. Sometimes on the high way, the car in front of you decides it needs to do a full breaking. A few times I only had meters to spare. I do not want a tire with any longer braking distance than the Michelins ;-)
It's not exactly Pirelli's fault that the F1 bosses asked them to make a more complicated tyre, it turns out that Pirelli did a better job than anybody expected. I'll be totally honest, I love Bridgestone, my grandfathers car has them and they're really good, but Pirelli's are just as good, my dad used to have Continentals on his van and they were awful, no grip or stability at all, but when he changed to Pirelli the van was transformed.
Became a Ferrari
Put pilot sport 3s on my track spec R56, from contact sports, difference is night and day, gives you the extra 20%
Has anybody checked the wetgrip on these tyres? The michelin has class A wetgrip. Why do not they comparing it with an A class budget tyre?
Michelin tyre is good or not?
Pretty ok review, still need Tyre designer scientists to assist in explaining tyre long km/miles Jevity in relation to general road use and the tyre compound even if they said entry tyres generally serve 40,000 km and our premium drive 100,000 and our sports 80,000 a guide like this should be law so buyers have better buying knowledge. Also fuel economy rating.
@tri400
Fuel saving triers = less tire friction = not optimal grip on road.
I go to the scrapyard, £12 each and when I take wheel off the scraped car, if the brake pads are good they come with me, shop smart people
yeah but not always you will be lucky to get decent thread on them, a complete set of tyres or even at least 2 of the same tyres to put at the front or the back. i went with toyo proxes on my car £80 for 2x and they went at the front and in the dry they are perfect in the wet they seem to perform well also for a "cheap" tyre.
there out to make money alot of the cheaper tired come off the same line as the expensive ones just a different name and the rubber compounds may be a little different
how about the dunlop sport maxx? how are they compring to the michelin sport 3?
I have a fabia rs which came with sportmaxx standard. I was pissed it didnt have the conti sports.
Itll be getting michelins as soon as i wear the dunlops out. They suck. no way worth more than the michelins (theyre $30 per tyre dearer than the michelins here). I know which Id rather have.
Never driven or ridden on a dunlop that was worth a punch of crap.
There is a very happy medium in really decent Korean hankook and kumho tires
I had some kumho tires that were really impressive. They got my Caravan through a Rocky Mountain blizzard when everyone else was getting stuck, not to mention my wife managed to drive into a snowy ditch and a deep mud ditch on two separate occasions and I drove out of both ditches thinking that I didn't have a chance in hell of doing it. Moral of the story: never let your wife drive
Surely that just points to you driving to fast for the grip level you currenty have? Personnally I like the extra leeway that more grip gives, however if you are incapable of adjusting to driving with lower grip levels, you should not be on the road.
Exactly. All tyres have a wet grip class. If you know you are driving on class X tyres, change your driving style.
Get tyres with tough sidewalls, less likely to damage when hitting kerbs thus safer.
Lol. or just avoid hitting kerbs?
Or learn how to drive
Or... dont drive
How in this world does a tyre less likely to get a puncture from YOU not being able to drive and avoid curbs. I hope there's 1m curbs where you drive or god help the pedestrians.
nashrahsolace Stupid replies.
You can get Vredestein and Nokian tires in Europe, so you get the best of both worlds.
Still confused. There are loads of budget tyres around and with the new EU labeling some appear to have better fuel, wet braking and lower noise than brand names at twice the price. EG Infinity tyre was Fuel-C, Wet brake-C, noise 72dB at £56. Bridgestone was E, C 71dB at £119.
Exactly. I am buying a set of Autogreen tyes at National. They have Class A wetgrip and only 69 db npise level. My current set is also from there. A set of Rovelo with class C wetgrip. I am quite impressed about them. I have done almost 30k miles on them.
Couldn't agree more...
Imma combat this by getting wider tires, from a 185 to a 225
I have Pirelli P7 Cinturatos on my Mercedes and they are great. Had the old P7s before, but the Cinturatos are better. Lots of grip, low noise and predictable handling. I would definitely buy Pirelli again, they are worth every penny. I never cheap out on car parts and car maintenance.
back then i had a tuned fiat and the p6 and the p7 was the best then tried the Yokohama asimetricos they were better on the weat roads
Had them on my A4 and they were the worst higher I ever had! Or out for 30,000 miles of easy driving and were so noisy that it drove me insane! I replace them with Cooper's UHPAS tire and they were much better. Quieter, handled better, and lasted longer.
One thing I don't scrimp on is tyres. You heard what the bloke said, tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road. Would you really want a low budget brand for your life to rely on? Stick some cash by from two months wages, get a zero percent credit card, etc etc save money up but whatever you do buy decent tyres people. Not cheap horrible no name brands that are probably gonna wear out in half the time a premium tyre is. As for part worns, don't even go there. New, premium brand tyres are a MUST. Don't take any chances. I wouldn't.
Even premium tyres were once budget tyres
Michelin it is.
I think now what with all the price increases as long as there round people will buy the cheapest set. I’ve just paid £80 per tire and that’s the cheapest I could find
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆affordable car parts,tyres and engines with the above name I got my quality engines and car part from them they're the best they're also fast and relaible they ship to all country thanks to them
I was on a budget, bought cheap chinese tyres for my evo. Worst mistake ever, within 20 hours i ended up buying a whole new set of branded tyres (dunlop at the fronts, bridgestones at the back). Chinese tyres + performance cars = coffin.
***** My reasoning behind purchasing the cheap tyres was because i was upgrading my wheels to 18 inch anyway within the next 6 months. So i would of rather spend my money on good high performance tyres for the new rims instead and save some money.
I have had the Atturo AZ800 (AllClimte), very cheap tire, 60.000 km and they are still running ...
Do you have allot of grip on wet surfaces?
@@qaching no the grip is not evry good, I driev cautionusly, that ok. tires dimension ws unusual (285/315) there where not many tires on the market back then.meanwhile Michelin Cross climate is available an Bridgestone if I remeber correct. They are more expensive, but safer
@@KRISHNAWARRIOR yes i also have no brand cheap tires and i have no grip on wet surfaces
its time to buy michelins
@@qaching haha, you're so correct ;) But I meanwhile at least here in germany there are meanwhile duties to label the tires wirh "grip" indices. There should be some cheap tires which are nott too bad. But quite generally speacking, cheaper tires are more slippy at wet surfaces than more xpensive ones..
life depends on tyres
Im pritty sure the guy got some numbers wrong
Thanks for re-inforcing my original thoughts. If you are driving that close to the grip limits of your tyre, you should not be on the public roads. On road I drive faster than most and am rarely overtaken, however I always leave myself a 'safety blanket' for the day i head round a corner quickly and encounter oil, or a deep puddle, or mud. Factors like this will greatly reduce the available grip, and if you are already pushing your tyres close to the limits it could cause an accident.
bridgestone potenza GIII :)
Lol the brake tests were totally different, press the ******* pedal!
Cheap chinees tire will work and will be safe, but will probably only last 2 years before the tread runs out. So you save on the first purchase, but will discover you have to buy new ones soon after. A good set of quality tires like Toyo lasted me 6 years of smooth and safe driving for a good 100000 miles. Just touch the gum on the tire, you'll see the chineese one feel so more plastiky and some will even make you fingers go black !!!! That's the gum already coming out.
cheap tyres will work but probably after 6months they will start to crack and wear out a lot faster than a good tyre.
oh ford asked cooper to design tires for the Roush Mustang and not Michelin. Why do you think they did that?
Because Michelin in French and some americans don't like french technology. They should have a look though : radial tyres, TGV (with a bunch of american inventions, yes, yes), first microcomputer (the Micral), Concorde (with English engineers) and now combat prooven Dassault Rafale
CaptainDangeax the Americans didn't have apart with concorde... the first tank was British, first jet engine was British, the concorde designed and built in Britain, the thing America fully surpasses for is motoring engineering, reliability average and at least they know not to trust the French with anything, have you seen what they've been making since the 90's?
***** You may try to twist reality if you want or export a list of not-french designs. It doesn't change the facts. About the concorde for example, you must document yourself better because you're missing a lot of ins and outs in this story, like every other though. I suppose because you're american and you're not as skilled as us europeans with nuances : republican or democrat, friend or foe, all your choices in life are limited to 2. Actually, Michelin french tyres are the best you can afford for any regular car or motorbike. Deal with it. Actually, the TGV is the fastest and the safest (along japanese shinkansen) railway. Deal with it. The first panzer was british, but is was a brick. the french panzer had the engine in the back like any modern panzer and a rotatiing turret like any modern panzer. Deal with it.
CaptainDangeax deal with what? how wrong you still are? I am British... Michelin are worse than toyo, myself and a few friend have been racing and found the Michelin on the car just were crap, if you're going in a straight line... well ok... but through the corners they grip and grip then you get a sudden loss of grip, toyo however, gave the best feedback through steering, grips better through the corners and when you push it too far lose grip slightly but you can regain control easily.
the concorde's made primarily by BAE Aeronautics, taken to france after for the maiden flight fliwn by andre turcat, who was with the french air force, oh you know BAE the same company that made the euro fighter typhoon, called euro because of the collaboration to utilise factories in other countries.
oh... a tank is a tank, just because it was box shaped, oh it also did have rotating turrets if you weren't ignorant enough already to no notice historical facts. it was the first tank which they introduced to push the front line and get over the trenches to help the infantry.
***** My bad, I made a mistake considering UK as the 51th state. At the time of the beginning of concorde, BAE and sud aviation were working on very similar project, so politics decided to merge the 2. Now if you want to count screws, you're free. About eurofighter, France left because the eurofighter was just a high altitude interceptor and france needed something more omnirole. Considering UK is spilling money for the flying brick F35, to put on stobar carriers, unable to launch anything else, considering how the eurofighter did over libya some years ago, I'm happy to see my tax money going to the Rafale and not the F35. UK voted brexit, I can't wait brexit to be effective. Maybe you'll realize then than the channel is narrower than the atlantic, and also that with a friend like USA, you don't need enemies. Look at your plane industry for example.
About Michelin, I didn't mention race cars. If you find Toyo are best for your *RACING* car I have no point to contradict you. I went on a ride last sunday with my bike and friends of mine, 4 of us have Michelin and none did slip on wet roads, one has bridgestone and he had to fight to keep the pace in curves. We were on open streets and roads so respecful of speed limits. You may check some speed records, like pike's peak 2013 for example, a french car with a french pilot and french tyres. My dad had toyo once on his car, they were so bad we though the bearings were dead. As a consumer with 2 cars and 2 bikes, I play safety, I buy Michelin.
LOL That's why I use Bridgestone RE-11 F1 should go back to Bridgestone
If you buy expensive tyres, you will pay half price for name of tyres.
Well I'm poor so... I'm on that Altimax shit from TireRack
where is Yokohama tires???
Yokohama, Kumho, Uniryoal and Avon. None of them good tyres are featured. They also never tested anything mid-range. Kleber tyres
Budget tyres are as good as expensive tyres just because they have big names don't mean shit anyway
My budget tires have span my car doing mph around a roundabout twice.
The best is my feet
I've got some Toyo tyres from China, just changed my front ones after 4 yrs. My rear ones are still in great shape. Can't complain.
correct me if i am wrong but toyos are not chinese they are japanese tyres. ive got the proxes they are fantastic for what i use them for.
This test is flawed because they didn’t mention tyre ratings A-B or C look at the tyre Rating first then price nothing to do with brands
those tyre ratings didn't even exist when this video was made. The ratings were created in 2012, this video is from 2010.
For what it's worth, i enjoy track days,and although I'm usually driving one of the slowest cars on the track (An old bangered fiesta that I use specifically for track work), i get round faster than many more capable vehicles. Save pushing your luck for the track, or at least only drive like a twat on rare occasions.

u getin what u pain 4
No comparisong with Hankook and Kuhmo? they would have closelly outperformed the top brands for almost half price!
Yes, but they are using the shittiest cheap tyres, because they are paid by the Premium tyre companies. Btw, Hankook and Kumho are more premium for me than budget.
#sugarnads Yes get the best, because everyone should drive like they are at a race track @Mazda rx7
#George Yu If you push your tyres to hard then you will find they all have a limit @Azureecosse
#Jordan Manturk If you push your tyres to hard then you will find they all have a limit @George Yu
Big Companies anticompany, that's all !
My 5cents - don't buy chinese tires and you'll be ok, just adjust your speed with road conditions. Buy new ones at 3mm!
what car is gud lel
B
Force 1
SAVA S3 is the best !!!!
I always buy cheap Chinese tyres, they are the best
It really depends on what you expect from your car performance. If you are not riding hard, cheap tyres will do just fine.
Until someone in front of you brakes suddenly.
@@OhFishyFish Keep distance.
You saw the video right 22m difference in wet stopping distance now imagine it pelting down on the M6 and having to do an emergency stop bet you wish you spent a bit more now.
Not exactly though. Cheaper tyres = change it more often. And new cheap tyres are better than expensive old ones.
I dont think thats quite right
@@samcharles1166 there's a study done comparing a brand new cheap tire vs a 3 y.o. expensive tire. Brand new tire wins (when it comes to stopping distance).
this test is so unfair, u used PS3 vs some chinese unknown named small company tyre? OMFG, test with some chinese big manufacture such as JINLIN or CHAOYANG etc...
lold
Stillchit or sumcrap?
Probably that's because what is imported to Europe. No one wants to pay a lot for amn unknown chinese tire.
I agree, the Michelin Pilot ($170) is not a fair comparison, start with a western economy tyre
But would it meet the definition of an "expensive tire"? The point was to compare what you get on a market. You don't have expensive Chinese tires in Europe because no one wants to buy them because no one has an idea which brands and types are good. Chinese tires that are available here compete with rethreads. And it is hard to tell which are better...
“The benefits of the idea of making a car wheel that has three tiers”
* The car does not overturn if the car is driving fast or if the car is driving slowly.
* Continuing the car's movement without stopping in the event that one of the tires explode.
* The driver will not stop to change the wheel or change the tire.
Destiny is in the hands of God, but prevention increases safety.

Tyers
I always buy premium tyres every time. I wouldn't go to a garage and get the cheapest, part worn breaks fitted to my car! and the same goes for tyres.
Your feet definitely the best thing to rub on the ground at 100 km/h
This test is crap. It's tested in one profile and size. One type of vehicle. Only wet testing. No dry testing. Also they do not tell you how long any of these last. I've had all sorts of tyres. Some mid-range is better than any Continental tyre. The best of the best though, it the Kumho KU39 tyres. However, it all depends on the vehicle they go on as well as the rim and profile size.
Years ago I used Michelin X tyres. The most slippery tyres ever in the wet !!. This was on a Jag. Then I fitted a set of Pirelli Cinturato`s. Brilliant tyres !. Never Michelin again. Now I am old and drive a Hyundai (UGH) I fit budget tyres. No Problem.
Michelin X were first mount for the Citroën traction in 1934 and Citroën 2cv in 1948. What are you talking about ?
Make a stop at 0:51 and see why your opinion is nothing in front of numbers.
Hahahahahah...hahahahahahahhaa....hahahahahahahahaha
The best tyres money can buy is Continental but if you live in the UK and get a pittance of a wage compared to our european brothers you will not be able to afford them so budgets it is
mr rambo Well you just go round robbing people because you have never worked your entire life
No continentals for me. My dad had a new 09 buick Lucerne with continental tires. Within a year all 4 had blown out. He has never had that happen to him before. And 2 years before he got the 09, he had a 06 buick lucerne and that had goodyear tires, and those did fine. Michelins are the best tires and they always rank the highest. Notice what type of tires they use on city busses. Where i live, theyre michelin. Truckers want michelin tires on their big rigs. On sport cars, people always try to get the pilot sports
No mate you are totaly wrong Continentals are the best of the best then maybe Pirelli and Michelin or Goodyear. Im a tyre fitter and run my own business i would always recommend Continental Yes they are the most expensive tyre to buy and cost loads more than Michelin or Good Year but then you are buying top quality and quality costs.
+Christian Tönnies michelins are the most expensive where i live. And they rank the highest on consumer reports. And if im going to spend thay much money on tires, i wouldnt want all 4 of them to blow out in the period of one year. Tire fitters here also recommend michelins as well. Like i said, look at city busses and talk to truckers, they only use 1 brand. Michelin
maybe where you live but everywhere else its Continental. It comes down to many factors. German quality is one major factor unfortunately that is shown in the price too

Never save money on tires...your family safety depends on your tires...more than abs or seatbelts
lol copping around hahaha
Mario Alvarez shopping?
Tyres are such a rip-off. You scrap at least 95%. What other product can you say that about?
Jack Black toothbrushes
CHEAP TYRES = FALSE ECONOMY
Shop around and check the prices..... Buy "mid price range" tires for your car.
It could save your life.
If I can't afford to put branded tires on my car then I can't afford my car.
or mexico ;-)
can this guy not pronounce "SH"? it's pronounced miSHelin, and at the end did he say CHopping around? or is he trying to say SHopping around?
Always run "economy" tyres, RIKEN at the moment, will never put chinese tyres on my car, always European economy, these are usually subsidiaries of the "Premium" - Imperial / Debica are also not well known but believe they are Belgium brand, again cheaper than "Premium" as they don't spend ££££££'s on marketing, someone's got to pay for that.
