Better to avoid Kumho since it is noticeably noisy. So far the best tyre(low price) I came across was the Falken Sincera which is a thai or indonesian made

What about CE#T guys? I was also previously not having very good reputation for CE#T. But my drivers have recommended CE#T for our lorries from last year onwards. And so far no complaints from them? May be they are biased towards CE#T. Need your opinion to use CE#T on cars. What do you think guys?

CE#T is good for an Indian bus, lorry, batta and three-wheelers. Rubber is quite hard and does not absorb absorb shock. Puts much strain on suspension components and wears them quickly. The CE#T tyres last longer. (Because they are hard?) It's the economical option if you want to beat the crap out of a commercial vehicle.

Because ride comfort is non-existent in a batta, I don't have any issues with CE#T on it. But I would warn you against using them in a car.

I think it does not depend on one tire 'brand' but rather the quality, tread pattern, sidewall strength and construction of each different model. And, even in an excellent tire - there can still be some defective units very rarely.

The best tire I've used thus far is Bridgestone Sneaker, Japanese built. Exceptional handling and very little noise. However the tire wears out a little faster and lasted about 70k.

The tire I'll recommend for everyday use is Michelin. Had a set of UK built Energy XM2 tires that lasted 80,000km and could still go on. Excellent braking, very good handling, highly reliable and it goes on and on without wearing out. Only negative is being slightly noisy. Definitely more comfortable than the Bridgestone though. The price is expensive but becomes a steal when you compare the value of the product against other cheap tires that wear out faster.
