Re: Cheap Chinese tyres may be to blame for Russian armoured vehicles getting stuck in mud A very queer situation there. But the dubious quality of the Chinese tyres need to be thanked as these have saved lots of gullible lives and property from potential damage in Ukraine. We hope that they would use more and more of these as Western sanctions on Russia won't allow the Soviets to buy acclaimed brands.
Vintage car owners tempted to get the period looks for their cars with white wall tyres have also been duped by middlemen at times, when crap quality Chinese tyres were unsuspectingly supplied. There are reports that these tyres got themselves compulsorily retired, after getting tired and tattered within the first few hundreds of kms of use, within months. Some owners also reported how they were on the brink and averted mishaps.
White wall tyres of Indian makes used by vintage car owners are no longer available and imports from the Western markets are the only way out for the desirous.
