guys the best Tyers world over are BF Goodrich's they never disappoint


Seconded. I bought a set(265/65R17) at Kingsway last year for 119k. I thought they were overpriced but when you drive around you know this is not just any other tyre.

I have driven 4*4 fitted with Michelin and Bridgestone Dueler but for me, it will be BF Goodrich, any time.

As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, think big

That could be the price. I have an invoice from Tyre express for a set of 4-Seasons size 225/55 R16 for 98K

Im looking to buy tyres soon. Just read the whole thread.

1.My main concerns are tyres that can handle the rough roads of this country, though i live in Nairobi and rarely off road. Roads are generally bad and potholes.

2. Handling, performance and breaking. im looking for size 225/45 R17 or 205/55 R16

3. durability. wear. at least 40,000 kms which for me is about 3 years.

any suggestions thanks.

Rough roads and that tyre size are parallel so forget it! Look for a higher profile >50.
