Comedy tyre names

[thinfourth2]

I was sorting out a spare set of rims for my newest steed the mighty Nissian micra S which lead me to discover it has some dubious tyres fitted

But by far my favourite is the Barum Brilliantis which is heading towards the dustbin


So what other comedy tyre names have you seen other then the Barum Brilliantis

The p6000 doesn't count as its not even slightly funny

'Triangle' doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Been looking at a couple of GoodRide tyres there...

[busta]

I can't remember the actual name but we had a set of cheap tyres on a forklift that at a glance read as 'flying banana'

The LingLong makes me snigger

My MX-5 has a "Monza" rear. I guarantee driving round Monza, in the wet, on them would result in a fiery death. Awful.

There is a truck tyre brand 'Double Happiness'

[soad]

Hankook.

Kumho is quite funny.

Bugger, beaten to it!!

Really? I ask as I was looking at Goodride snow tyres and one review says they're great, the otehr says I'll die if I drive on them.

Back on topic, I was once sold an Astra GSI Turbo and one of the selling points was the fact it had four new Sunew tyres...

I mean... really...?

Gajah tungaul (shortened to gt radial on some) wanli, clears, accleras all chinese ditch finders !

[Chicharito]

Roadstone Dark Horse.

I had a car with a pair of those on one end, and a pair of Wanli on the other.

I'm sure there are some really silly tyre names like 'Ling Long Super Rain Hero Horses', though.

GT radials are Indian I think, which clearly makes them superior to that Chinese rubbish! Joking apart, I have GT radial winter tyres are they are pretty good!

[Gad-Westy]

marangoni tyres - I always read it as margarini tyres. Doesn't suggest high coefficients of friction!

[GuitarTech]

"chinese ditch finders" Funnest thing I've read all day! I know, I know...I should get a life....
