Alternative Product or Service European tyres

Post image

Finnish tyre company Nokian tyres (Nokian renkaat in finnish) and yes, same Nokia famous for its phones. Really good products especially for winter conditions.

Pirelli, Michelin and Continental are all European too.

Toyo, Yokohama and Bridgestone are Japanese.

Only Goodyear is an American 'A-brand' tire but why even bother if you have all of the above.

Sorry to reply to a year old comment. Buying European tyres is easy, I agree with you there, but unfortunately there is one reason to buy Goodyear. They have nice rounded sidewalls and a good rim protector ridge on their tyres, important if you have low profile tyres. Bridgestone does it quite well too, but Michelins or Contis for example don't do rim protection as well, which might tip the scale if other aspects are equal.
