Tigar tyres - any good or complete crap?

I've just bought a 2002 V40 1.8 S which I've had for about 3 weeks. The rear tyres are a pair of Michelin Energy which are part worn but with a fair amount of tread life left. However the front tyres are a pair of almost new Tigar Primas. It's not a make I've previously encountered since I usually keep clear of the budget end of the market. Apparently they are made in Serbia and the company may be owned by Michelin. As far as I can tell, they seem to be ok but I'd be interested to hear other people's views and experiences. Martin

Tigars are chineese tyres if im right and the rubber compound is crap as well as the tyre

I know nothing about their quality, but they are actually Serbian, and one of the major shareholders in the firm is Michelin.

+1 for proxes, read my post on them and you'll see why. Tigars??? They just sound crap!

Tigar Primas get a very bad review here but other Tigar model tyres get good reviews, seems they don't just make tyres for the bottom end of the market....

Another vote for toyo tr1's here! great tyres...:thumbs_up: i have also used Falcon FK452's which were excellent aswell..
