Triangle tires?

afshin · 02-01-2012, 09:40 PM

I just picked up a set of 235 40 18 95v triangle talon tr968 today , the deal was too good to pass it on , total 350$ , never heard of them but I made sure I could return them in a day or two , any one tried these tires ? Should I return them and get some brand name tires?

Sorry to say, but I owned these for a year on one of my E46's with 18" wheels.
I found them to be absolute garbage tires. Noisy, and very slippery and dangerous in the rain. Not even worth $300 new in my opinion. You live in Toronto too, too cold to use them now anyways... if you're planning on summer use, buy some Hankook V12's on tirerack and call it a day.

Did you buy these from one of those discount tire store? Like Wheels4less?

Never put cheap tires on a BMW. Triangle tires belong on Fred Flintstone's ride where he would need to use his feet for traction rather.
