double star tires

Is this a new brand of tires?
Or a trucking company?
Never heard of them and where are they out of?
Ask a question with some information?
All that comes up about them is a tire warehouse or something like that.

 

I looked it up on the internet & found out that they are a tire company.

 

i never heard of them either, it does seem that they do pass the DOT requirements and are made in china and are around the world as far as marketing and such. i would be more interested in any warranty they would have and pricing. sometimes its hard to buy things made from another country but it's the way it is nowadays. as long as the products meet or exceed US Government minimum standards, they should provide a good service life. otherwise, they really wouldn't (or shouldn't) be imported here.

 

The one thing you should never skimp on, is the one thing holding you to the road.

 

My dad always said you never save on cheap rubber or lubricants.Seems things are changing.
Don't know this brand but there are two Chinese brands we have been monitoring tests on. They are giving lower cost per mile than any of the major brands.Rolling resistance is comparable.No unnatural casing failures in 200 million tire miles (1 mile = 18 tire miles on 18 wheeler). A lot of these Chinese companies have links or are partly owned by the known big name brands.

 

Surely there must be some experience with these tires by now? Anyone?

 

We have some low profile 275/70-22,5 on a couple of lowboy trailers 24 tires.
Our workshop had them fitted because the usual Michelin/Bridgestone tires we usually fitted were in short supply.
No casing issues and seem to be wearing even +- 50 000miles on them.
I cant say they are as good as the Michelin/Bridgestones but I know they cost about half as much and no problems yet.

 

Sounds like Bridgestone/Firestone/Michelin/Goodyear/Continental should take heed, wise up, and get ready. Because once these Chinese tires start gaining popularity, there will be no turning back. My gramps retired from Firestone after 40+ years. It would be sad to see them disappear.
