Chongalulu Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Could only see old review for discontinued tyre but is this Deestone brand any good .? My local Blacks in Phimai has a promotion for 4 tyres 245-70- 16 at around 10500 vs Bridgestone at 25,000. It’s for my brother in laws Isuzu pickup so not quite as critical as my own on which I have factory fitted Bridgestones,but of course I don’t want any false economies or dangerous tyres . Maxiss was another option which has a cheaper basic price but no promotion so more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think we have Deestone on our old pickup or they could be Maxxis !! We went with a cheaper brand as we don't drive fast at all and not very far normally. We paid under 10k for the set and they are fit for purpose. On our Ranger, we replaced OEM tyres with Michelin but they were 20k plus.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 4 year old pickup with 90000 kilometres is showing hardly any wear on the original Bridgestones. I’m very conscientious about pressures ( a hangover from track days) and always check with my digital gauge when cold to ensure 29psi when cold. Just got it back from a service at my local Isuzu and they were 36 psi when I measured cold this morning. God knows what they pumped them up to when doing it while hot! They are mostly a good dealer on everything else but Do they not really understand the importance of tyre pressures in Thailand ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 When the OEM tyres on our Suzukis wore out we replaced them with Deestone. There didn't seem to be any negatives. OK for BIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Deestone is a large well established Thai tyre manufacturer with competitive prices I would have no problem using them instead of the more expensive brand names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracker Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 A year ago a local company fitted 4 deestones on my pickup. After a month or so i drove 200km with a heavy load on the back. Afterthat I noticed the car was vibrating. Cause was a flat section in a rear tyre, clearly visible. I got another deestone tyre for that. 5 months later, no heavy loads in that time, i noticed vibrations on my (manual) gear-poke. Check revealed a slight flat area on a deestone tyre in the front... After that, i changed to another brand for the front two tyres. While this was ongoing another small flat area was found on another deestone tyre. That makes 3.... Now i drive still with 2 deestones in the back while keeping 1 at home for spare. Never again for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracker Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Well, that does not apply to my story. I bought the car new in 1999 and have still the original brake-pads in. It is my personal experience about deestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on original brake pads after 20 years indicates very, very low mileage so maybe your flat spots are from sitting in the garage for weeks or months on end.

tracker Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So many guesses on how i got flat spots. Use the car almost daily. It was clearly visible on the inside of the tyre, indicating the internal structure of the tyre was compromised. Go on.... I challenge you, buy you (mai)deestones. Wish you many safe miles with it.

Time comes up before the tires are worn at all. Probably less than 20K My tire guy loves to see me - he pays very little for my old tires as they usually 90+ percent tread remaining. But I change when they get hard - start to squeal a lot. Probably try Pirelli P Zero next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
