We were having a discussion with my friends and most of them were insisting that GT tyres [From Indonesia - NOT China] are as good as Yana tyres - for half the price! How true is this? Anyone who has used both?
How does Yana compare to other foreign made tyres like Michellin, Goodyear etc. I have always held the opinion they are the same but my friends believe that one is better off with Yana on Kenyan roads.
@MaichBlack - I use GoodYear - made in RSA - I recall the cost (for a set of 14 x 195 x 70) was much much lower than Yana, Pirelli, etc. This was in Nov/Dec 2009 and I still have them and expect to change them around June (total abt 18-20 months). In that time I have made 4 return trips to Kampala with some sections of the roads not so good, one trip to Mombasa + several trips into central province and rift valley + daily running of abt 25-30km. In this time, not a single puncture or issue. When I replace in June it will be more routine and not that they will have as much tread as Zuma's scalp...
Before Good Year I had Kumho and can't say much abt that since I had to replace after abt 6 months owing to worn ball joints which made them wear out on the edges - mscheeew!
BTW, what do you call a tyre made out of 365 condoms? A good year... :o)
