Stay away from Triangle

I have those on my car, and the ride quality is not good atall. Rough and noisy.

That Triangle Thing,... NO WAY!!!

ABSOLOUTELY TERRIBLE ON ALL COUNTS!

keep away.


Saw a Friend put two brand new triangles on the front of his big maxi on the bus route and they lasted just under a month.
where as a Michelin or Pirelli or Burla would have lasted 9 months to a year/ year and a half.

some federal tyres are good but not all.....i find them to hard thus transfering roadnoise and thing

try GEOSTAR .....working relly good for me right now and fairly cheap 350 for 205-60-R14

and if you want higher KUHMO and MITCHELIN!!

Heard the NEXXEN 3000 (the new one's) working good but it lil expensive but i still doh trust NEXXEN!! :(
