seriously? you have to ask?

hi , no help on double happiness ,although a little research will show 1 factory produce lots of different named tyres , I have ran rhino tyres on drive which I found good for the price , I fitted Samson once when the local tyre supplier had no other choice in budget tyres , wouldn’t fit Samson again no feel on the road and feel cheap , I usually run bridgestone or hankook drives , but would fit rhino again if I could get them as these seen to be hard to get , cheap tyres don’t last near as long as premium , but in snowy weather drivers will spin them off regardless of name ,

Are any of these Chinese Tyres like Wandering Dragon any good? They don’t grip and breathe fire :smiley:

I had double diamond on the rear of a focus estate I brought
Nearly did a 180 on a roundabout in the wet [emoji49]
They were soon replaced

If they are the same ive had double coin on the drive axle and they where garbage but the super singles on the trailers where spot on couldnt fault them

AKA Sum Ting Wong tyres.

GT, now labelled as GITI, same maker apparently, their super singles have been doing well on trailers, not one issue and we run at full weight all the time.

I’ve not come across double happiness, but have used Double Coin and Kormoran quite a bit on trailers, and once on a steer axle as it was all the fitters had available at a roadside breakdown. They have been reliable and given reasonable wear at the price. They’re absolutely fine on the sleep and twisty roads I operate on, and if you are unlucky enough to take one out on a hidden hazard, it’s a bit less painful on the pocket.
Not sure that they would compare so well on high mileage, high speed work though. As ever, it’s horses for courses.
(I use GITI also and find them fine)

Double happiness are a cheap Chinese super budget tyre.

Double coin are a slightly more ‘premium’ (if you can call it that) Chinese tyre, although they are partnered with Michelin. Their super singles use a Michelin carcass.

We sell and supply truck tyres as well as haulage, and have never really has any issues with a Double Coin Super singles. We supply them as trailer tyres and steer tyres on tractor units, rigids and specialist hiabs etc. Feed back has been pretty good on all fronts. Everyone seems to re-order if they have used them. We run them ourselves on trailers and as steers or tags on a couple of our units too.

Double Happiness on the other hand… we’ve supplied 2 295’s as tag axle tyres. They came back to us within a few months with sidewall irregularities. The outers of the sidewalls developed bumps all the way around the circumference. Suspected sidewall failures,on both tyres. Needless to say they were returned and we’ve not supplied them since. I wouldn’t run them at all.

Okay thanks for all of the info. Might give some a go on super singles and see how they do

All the cheap Chinese tyres are going to get a lot more expensive 30% or there abouts.

Top tip, if a tyre sounds like something they offer in a Bangkok brothel don’t buy it.
