Tyres & Rims – What Every Driver Must Know (By Asif Traders)
At Asif Traders, Lahore, we answer hundreds of customer queries every month. Here’s a short guide to the 3 most common questions people ask about tyres and rims.
1. Which Tyre Brand Should You Choose?
Choosing the right brand affects your car’s safety and performance. We recommend:
Yokohama – Ideal for city driving
Michelin – Smooth and reliable on highways
Bridgestone & Hankook – Long-lasting performance
Dunlop – Budget-friendly and dependable
2. How to Check Tyre Freshness?
Always check the DOT code on the sidewall.
Example: “1424” = 14th week of 2024
🕒 Rule of Thumb: Don’t buy tyres older than 1 year.
3. How to Avoid Fake or Smuggled Tyres?
No receipt or warranty
DOT code missing or scratched
Poor logo printing
Prices that seem “too good to be true”
✔️ Buy from authorized dealers only – like us at Asif Traders – to stay safe and get genuine, fresh tyres
4.Demand a Warranty & Receipt
A genuine tyre comes with a company warranty and proper invoice. No receipt = no safety.
5.Check Tyre Sidewall for Quality Marks
Fake tyres usually have poor printing, faded logos, or misspelled names. Examine the sidewall carefully.
6.Match Tyres to Your Driving Needs
Daily commuters? Go for comfort. Heavy travel? Choose durability. Asif Traders helps you pick the right fit.
7. Dont Ignore Tyre Freshness
Old stock may look new but can have dry rubber. Freshness affects grip, safety, and tyre life.
