viking for is one of the best economy tyre ever!! if u never heard about it, u can just simply
google it and u will know where did its come from.... dude, its under continental bro!! a huge brand tyre in malaysia... there's quite a lot of their own workshop in malaysia... u should try it coz even its an economy tyre, the quality and price are really acceptable and its also great in performance...
Entry level continental tyres today are not that good though. But still, Viking tyres are much cheaper and I trust them more than random China tyres.

Viking?????????
haven't heard of this brand before, sounds tough haha.
However I don't feel like want to try these, too risky, looks cool though

Thumbs up for the nice drawing!!!!
don't judge a book by its cover..
my sis use Viking pro tech for 3 years ald, its quality is not bad..
i know its quality is not better than Michelin but if someone can't afford the tyre's price, they can choose Viking

Nowadays, several major tyre brands in Malaysia have ventured into several smaller sub brand. Like Dayton under Bridgestone, Viking under Continental, BF Goodrich under Michelin. But BF Goodrich is not a small brand at all, just less known over here.

So unlucky for that exploded tyre. Did it cause you any harm or damage? Hope you are alright.

You are the real sifu. I don't even have a quarter of your knowledge on tyres. :biggrin:

Kelly tyres? Totally never heard or seen it before. Oh yeah, I heard Silverstone now is under Toyo since their Kamunting plant has been bought over by Toyo already?
