Experience About Lassa Phenoma?

[dominic123]

Hello, I’m a newbie in this forum and need your opinions. I have to replace my tyres, my regular garage strongly recommended Lassa Tyres Phenoma to me instead of my old Falkens. Pricing was not bad, but I couldn’t decide what to do and asked him to let me think about it.

Surfing on the web, I could find out some info and good reviews about Lassa Tyres, it seems they’re produced in Turkey, in the same factory with Bridgestone, sort of a sub-brand or something like that I guess.

Anyway, is there anyone in this forum whom personally experienced this brand or someone else you know very close did?

I need to get my tyres replaced this weekend.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.
