Brillantis

My construction business bought a 2nd hand Nissan NP200 open back van a few years back. It came with Nissan SOUTH AFRICA factory fitted Barum Brilliantis with aprox 30K kilometers on. Not long after we popped a rear tire on a trip out of town under load, heat, age, etc. I read on the tire wall that it is not a commercially graded van tire, rather an 'extra load tire'. I assume this is a glorified passenger tire with some improvements none which qualifies it as a 'LT' (light truck) tire.
I have now purchased a new NP 200, again fitted with the above mentioned tire and after only 2k kilometers it took a thorn in the side wall tire and it is beyond fixing.
I searched online and phoned Tiger Wheel Malibongwe drive asking for a Hankook Vantra LT same as I bought a few years back for our other vans, but they cannot source them. Blairgowrie Lombard tires recommend another sub grad glorified passenger tire; the Goodyear Dura Grip again branded as an extra load tire, but not an LT tire.
I am amazed that I cannot source LT tires in South Africa, looks like I am forced to replace with Barum Brilliantis as the end users do not want to pay or understand the need for a LT tire on their LT trucks/vans (assuming tire manufacturers don't keep stock due to no/low demand)

Factory fitted on my grandfather's 2007 Dacia Logan. Absolute bargain basement tyres, much like the car itself, though clearly rather hard-wearing. The lack of steering feedback and overall grip makes my BMW's Bridgestone Potenza S001 feel like race slicks, but I did find them to be alright in the wet and not as loud as I assumed they would be.

I live in Egypt and the roads honestly are worse than you can imagine. I had the tire for 8 years and by God's will, I have never faced a serious accident. I recommend these tires if you are on a budget and want value for a good price. The tires are a bit noisy especially their last couple of years.
Everything else is average.

These were on my oldtimer when I bought it. Very poor handling, noisy tires. The grip on dry road is below average, on wet road the grip is horrible. They seem to be made out of some bad kind of rubber. I strongly recommend not buying these!
