2 tyres are 33-18 & other 2 are 34-18.
I have had about 4 tyre changes from J Rashid on 4 different cars and my experience with them has been very good. I am sure they gave me the smuggled tyres but those too have been working great. Good decision on tyre choice. Best of luck. Enjoy
How come you are sure that they gave you smuggled ones?
Target achieved. Mashallah! Hard work always pays off.
I wonder why he was thrusting smuggled ones even when you insisted on imports by Sheikh Bros?
Congratulations. How is the car comfort and road noise now?
I have never noticed any such stamp on any tyre i got.
He was giving me smuggled ones at first. Then I insisted on Imported ones & I told him that I know about original importers of Yoko. Then they gave me these tyres.
Obviously there is a lot of difference in comfort. I felt a slight difference in steering. Its a bit lighter now. Road noise is a lot lesser than Euros thats for sure. Its bit comfy also. But I have only driven from lahore to Sgd on motorway since the replacement. So definatly need more drive time to judge the difference. They did Balancing but there was a bit of vibration at 120 so I think I have to get it done again. I needed alignment also so I got it from Auto Express. I was a bit worried because City have a known defect of Camber which causes miss alignment but thank God it wasnt Camber issue. Alignment is good but they messed up steering center point. Its bit tilted to right now so I will have to get it fixed also
Yeah you should always ask for tyres with the mention of there original importers in Pakistan. For every brand we have proper Importers here in Pakistan. Shopkeepers will always push you for smuggled ones because there profit margin is huge on those. But never risk putting smuggled ones on your Ride. Reason is the way they are smuggled. They put multiple tyres in one tyre wh8ch cause deshaping & damage to steel wires of tyres. I am attaching some pics for reference of smuggling process.
I have a question, Is Yokohama 175-65-15 advance DB available in market or I have only one option to upgrade my tyre size little bit 185-65-15.... any difference??
It should be available. I didnt check because I wanted 185. In my view 185-65-15 is the perfect size for City. Cars looks & comfort are enhanced with this size. It also adds 6 mm in Road clearence which is good for our Roads. I would suggest try this size. You wont regret it.
Anyone selling Original Aspire alloys or Know anyone who is selling em Please let me know.Thanks
Yes you can buy them from Faisalabad easily....
congrats for getting what u opted for.btw how did you know that the tires are smuggled one?? and how come only the seal of shaikh brothers ensure your trust in the originalty of those tires??and did you come across the dealers for other brands like dunlop or kumho or bridgestone???i wanna buy tires for city 2006 in the range of around 20k. any suggestions???
All most all tyres in punjab and kpk are smuggled .They wrape tyres in their shop.
Yes most tyres are smuggled one.. original tyres have manufacturing stamps on their wrap which states that these tyres are exported for Pakistan. This is what I have seen during my few tyres change experience
Actually if they import yokohama via karachi.each tyre will costs thm more thn Rs.13000.so these all tyres come via torkham and they pack here in pakistan.
Congratulations. V552 are way more comfortable and silent then v551
