2024, General tyre update
Unfortunately, General tyres have become unavailable on the European tyre market. In a commercial decision, Continental, the mother company, has decided to withdraw the product from the European and UK tyre markets.
Some products will be available. Including their range of 4×4 tyres.
Here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax, UK, we first became General tyre retailers earlier in 2016. For this reason, I became disenfranchised with some of the other tyre companies.
If we promote and sell a product, then we require a little loyalty. In my 40 odd years in the tyre business, I have been let down by many tyre companies. However, this is an unusual way to break up a business pact between companies.
I can only suspect. Honda Civic Winter Tyres
Continental had too large a product range and so decided to ditch the General Tyre brand.
Normally, tyre companies suck us in by making promises of special discounts and pricing schemes. When they have sucked you onboard, they then offer your competitors the same deals in your local area. Apollo tyres were a good example of this.
However, if you have your finger on the ball, then these broken promises are easily found and action can be taken.
They seem to accept that when you build their product base in a certain area. They then flood their tyres into your area. Its as old as the hills!
The latest tyre company to do this was Yokohama Tyres. Honda Civic Winter Tyres
We became dealers in the Halifax area. Accordingly, we sold thousands of their tyre products, including many winter tyres. The next thing we knew. Yokohama was selling their tyres online at a highly discounted price.
I was not worried about being let down by Yokohama Tyres because we were able to buy them from a large tyre wholesaler at the same price!
To bring things up to date in 2024, we now have a good working relationship with Falken Eurowinter HS01 Tyres. Honda Civic owners wanting good winter tyres can be confident with this product.
