Beware of "water goods" tyres

Hi all just a piece of info from my frd who owns a tyre shop.

It seems that there has been a batch of "water goods" tyres that are distributed in sg, be careful when you change tyres especially when they offer u below mkt price.

Do ask about the warranty and if possible get prove of the production and batch of tyres.

Side effects of "water goods" tyres :

1. As these tyres do not passed the factory QC therefore they were supposed to be disposed, therefore no warranty can be found for these tyres.
   
2. Tyres tend to chip off after few weeks of using
   
3. Signs of bumps on tyres or tyres go abit out of shape after few weeks of using
   

There has been a few cases where ppl changed tyres from elsewhere and found out that they gt "water goods" tyres, 1 way is to chk the side walls as "water goods" tyres tend to be softer than original tyres.

Hope this helps.

Alrighty, thanks for informing.

Any idea the brand?

Any brand can be chosen for the water goods tyres. Nvm, I am going to change tyres at your friend's chenjintrading tyre shop anyway. No worries.

Nowadays lots of such cases, nt only us shop owners must b careful also.

Other than water goods tyres, also must check for expired tyres

any difference between water goods and jumping building goods?

water goods meaning products with defects, cannot pass QC, jumping building goods if refer to tires, usually are those that sit on the shelf for many years liao close to expire date....

By the way, can check with your friend, how come sometimes I noticed on new tires, on the sidewall, there are dots of colours...seen a few new tires on display got a red and yellow colour dots, but not permanent.....
