Jinyu Truck Tires

[Taiga]

Had to replace the tires on an axle on the grain trail and all the tire shop had were these Jinyu JY 601 tires. Anyway, I have a fair number of miles on them now and they are holding up great and don’t hold the gravel. Thinking about doing the other 4 trailer axles, anyone else have long term success with these?

Made in...where? Price per tire?

Made in China?

I stand by my contention that COVID won’t change purchase behaviour. People have short memories and like to save a buck.

Maybe you won't but I'm going to try and buy North American if I can, I have even been looking at canned food to see what I can avoid from China. This family will do the best we can. You won't be able to avoid it all and some things will cost a little more. Trudeau will make sure that there is more china support than ever from Canada though, you watch.

Try finding canned mushrooms not from China. I have not been able to find any. Let me know if you find any

As mentioned all they had were these specific tires back in December before the Chinese Virus aka WuFlu aka BatFlu. They are wearing well. Don’t recall price but have to assume cheaper than Michelin’s. Can spend between $6000-12000 changing tires on a super B depending on the tire. But cheap tires can cause headaches and extra money too.

On the issue of to buy Chinese or not , most farmers are in a position that we are selling ourselves more to China that we are buying Chinese goods personally. One the issue of the Chinese tires themselves, I have not had that brand in particular on our trucks but it is my understanding most of the Chinese tires we see here are related if not by brand name, but by ownership. I admit we use high end steering tires on the trucks but have for 10 years at least been buying Chinese tires for drivers and trailer tires. They have worked good. For us the price difference is just to great to buy high end tires and I don't believe they are worth it, unless you are commercial. Most of the 11x 24.5's we buy are $250 and down. 22.5's less. We do our own tire work for the most part. I know the BKT tractor tires are Indian made so maybe they have truck tires too if one really wants to avoid Chinese stuff, but save money.
