Default Need advice from gz6rubber tire owners

Recently decided to clean up my car and send it to car shop for maintenance. Engine oil changed, brake oil changed and also replaced the filter. I noticed serious rubber aging on my tires, so I wanted to change a new set. Car shop staff recommended me gz6 rubber tires, but I have never heard of this company. I would like to know whether GZ6 rubber tires are durable and how the quality of their tires are. If you have used any, please give me some advice. Because this brand is indeed not expensive.

Never heard of them and likely wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole on this car. Tires are not something you want to overlook on this particular car. There are some tires out there, even name brand that absolutely do not work on this chassis, making handling absolutely horrible/dangerous. Best rule of thumb for a baseline when shopping for tires on this car is making sure the sidewalls are dual ply construction, not single. Then you can go from there on seasonal tread compounds ie all weather, summer or extreme summer. Stay away from anything Toyo makes ie proxes line up. There are some good tire sales to be had right now. I just bought a round of nitto nt05 275/315's from discount tires ebay store for $600 total shipped to my door. They are having a $100 off when spending $400 or more on tires. Check them out.


Again don't be cheap on tires for this car, it will bite you in the ass later when you end up in a ditch like so many seem to.

Hope this advice helps.

Looking at their site I would not trust them It looks like they make tires for construction equipment. Stick with known tires like Junky said. There is plenty of cheaper options that are well made and safe.

Seems to be a few posts on various forums asking the exact questions word for word.

Me thinks this is spam.

The use of the phrase "rubber tire" seemed odd, so spam is very plausible.
