Seasonal tire change this year for many car owners due to the departure of the usual European and Japanese tire brands from the Russian market has resulted in
Last year, tire monsters such as Continental, Michelin, Goodyear and other Bridgestone with Nokian actually closed the door on the Russian market. Yes, some of them still have factories in Russia, but this has not lowered the selling prices for wheels of this and other Japanese and European brands. And not all drivers can afford to pay 10,000 rubles for one wheel instead of the usual 5,000-6,000 rubles in previous years.
You can pay attention to tires of the same brands, but cheaper – to models that more or less advanced car owners previously refused. Or on products from domestic tire brands. Or maybe forget about prejudices and “fall into the arms” of Chinese brands? Such tires in the domestic market have recently been separated in abundance.
Some of them, they say, are produced in factories opened in China by tire brands that have eluded us. It resembles the use of patented technologies, with an appropriate level of quality. Maybe this is true. But it’s still scary. After all, the heartbreaking stories of daredevils who roamed the Internet and decided to “shoe” their personal cars on Chinese tires are still fresh in my memory.
In general, everything was clear, understandable and reliable with the good old European and Japanese wheel brands, and now there are solid questions and uncertainty.
But at the moment, the Russians have a chance to “return to the past” for some time, without paying too much “horse money” for this pleasure. Check out the used tire market. But none! Look for lots on free classifieds sites where rubber kits are offered by sellers who will also lure you in with tire mounting discounts.
In such lists, 4-year-old Continental or, for example, Goodyear wheels in size R16-R17 with minimal wear can be traded for a price of 8000 ₽ per set. And this is not a divorce, but almost the last chance to “grab” cool tires at a more than budget price. The explanation for this phenomenon is quite simple. Such rubber sets are sold, among others, by companies involved in the storage of tires.
Last fall, when a partial mobilization took place, hundreds of thousands of people were hastily “dumped” out of Russia. Previously, many of them “changed their shoes” for winter tires and left summer tires for paid storage until spring. Now that the deadline has passed, no one has taken over the wheels – here are the “holders” and they sell kits that have become useless to anyone for relatively little money. If only to quickly free up storage space for tires of new customers.
Take your chance, gentlemen, such a “freebie” is unlikely to be repeated in the near future.
