Never heard of them.


That's not a helpful comment really but I felt that I needed to set the ball rolling as nobody had replied yet.

Cheers mate

Just had a quick google, seems to be ok as a budget tyre for a normal everyday car

Sounds like ditch finders.

Try Hankook or Kumho. Never heard of Lassa unless there's a big collie tied up outside who wants you to follow it.
Also try City Tyres, Neville Place as he's very cheap.

Had Lassa's on the last motor, not a bad tyre at all. They have a joint venture partnership with Bridgestone

[chrislusty]

I would only put the original or equal tyres on a Type R otherwise it becomes a Type Q ie something less than a Type R. Might just as well fit steel wheels and FoMoCo dampers at the same time.

Never skimp on tyres is my advice to anyone with a car that may be driven enthusuatically. I have never heard of this tyre and would recommend Falken 452's as being good value and good performance.

Hi

I was testing our new website out today and found your site when I keyed lassa tyres into Google.

Lassa Tyres are sold in the UK. The Distributor for them in South Wales is Treble B in Cardiff.

They are made by BRISA which is a joint venture between the Bridgestone Corporation of Japan and The Sabanci Group of Turkey. They have been in production since 1988 with Bridgestone technology and are produced alongside Bridgestone in the manufacturing plant based in Izmit in Turkey. The factory is one of the largest in Europe.

The quality of the product is outstanding and what you actually get is a premium tyre at a mid range price.

We are marketing the brand heavily across Europe now. Please visit the website www.lassa.com.tr

I just put them on the back of our Range Rover Sport, they have been excellent in the 2ft snow we had back in December, not that they look like off-road stock and have also been great at speed. Not a bad tyre at all.

Not so sure I'll be putting them on my Tuscan though, that demands a little more from the rubber you put underneath it :-)

[vickiatlassa]

I am more than confident that they would suprise you in your Tuscan! I've got them on a CLK 350 and they are more than fine.

I've fitted them to my Land Rover Discovery. I live out in 'the sticks' and we get lots of snow. They performed well last winter in the tough conditions. I'm not sure how well they will wear though as the compound seems quite soft. However if I owned a 'performance' car capable of high speeds I'd be fitting something better than a budget brand.

Your a marketing Sponge if you really believe better makes mean better tyres.

I have recently replaced the front tyres on my FRSII, standard it was running Continentals at a price of £193 per corner. After some research and some reccomendations I decided to go with Avon ZZ5's at a price of £115/corner. So far I have given them everything in to corners and they are more than a match for the Conti's (grip wise), I am yet to try them in any decent rain, although I think they will fair up well as the Conti's were far from perfect.

My OH put budget tyres on her Mini CS, they offer far better grip levels than the original Dunlop run flats fitted to the car as standard, from memory the budget tyres were £70 a corner instead of £160+ for the Dunlops!

On another note, I had the super expensive P-Zero tyres on a Mercedes CLS320 (285/35/19 from memory) and they were rubbish grip wise, I think they were upwards of £265/corner.

My point is, yes there are ditch finders out there, however with enough research you can reduce your tyre costs whilst not compromising on any performance. Whilst researching for the FRS, Kumho were constantly being mentioned & seemed good value for money from the reviews etc.

1. The key word is "some".
2. Does your average jogger wear cutom running shoes as worn by the pros?
3. Every single time? So your saying every £200 tyre is better than say a £100 tyre just because of different text on the sidewalls?

Seriously, its a very narrow minded outlook, remember, the large respectable companies were small once and to write off new up and coming tyre manufacturers is very unfair, whos to say Lassa wont be THE tyre to have 10 years down the line?

I have them fitted all round on my Disco 2. Excellent handling and quiet at speed. Far better than the scorpions fitted before

[Limpet]

I've just had a pair fitted to the back of my commuter (Golf GT TDI 130). More through lack of choice as I discovered the old Pirellis were borderline and had a long trip to do. Local tyre place had them in stock, so I went for it.
The tread pattern is virtually identical to the Bridgestone Turanza ER 300, and I'm told they are made in the same factory.
Seem grippy enough for this car. Certainly in "eight tenths" driving, in the dry, they seem fine. Not rained yet, mind.
At sixty quid a corner, not "suspiciously" cheap, either.

In Lassa's defence,

I am from Turkey where these tyres are made. They are made in bridgestone factory in Turkey and they are as good as bridgestones. In Turkey we prefere Lassa over Pirelli, Dunlop, Goodyear etc. And they are not cheap in Turkey either .
