Which tyre brand is equivalent to a hisense? I need to know what to avoid.

Ah so basically everything besides the R2400 one you were quoted . I don't know what the LG C1, Apple iPhone, BMW 320d tyre is.

I need to change my tyres but the Goodyear Assurance 196/55R16 81H are a bit expensive and hard to find what best alternative do I have?

Would upsizing be a good idea to 205/55/R16 same brand? I have been quoted and I have been recommended this buy a certain tyre company.

Usually when you do a proper job upsizing you drop the profile otherwise it can change the speedo reading, ie. 185/60/16 to 195/55/16 is what I did - the rolling diameter almost the same.


Just shop around, I find it hard to imagine you can't get a decent tyre in 195/55/16 if you live in one of the major cities.

195/55 r16 is pretty common

Michelin Pilot Sport, sadly not available in 195/55/16 (else I'd be using it) but the Michelin Primacy is like a upper Samsung QLED.

There you go Epah, but like most of the mentioned things, it's out of your reach

these are the tyres you need for South African Roads

I also have it this way, although I can't substantiate this with any actual facts.

Yeah it's all just about liability and making sure the manufacturer is in the clear and can't be held responsible.

10% is a bit much though I'd say, but it likely varies from one to another somewhere between 5-10% most likely due to different tyre sizes across the same models and so on.
