Mahirap to, gulong na pinaguusapan. Kung city driving ka lang 100% baka pwede, pero pag nag ha highway ka medyo esep esep

[Capt.Bob]

tires have specific shelf life... so kahit di pa nagamit ang gulong kapag lagpas na sya sa designed "life" (4 to 5 years max) there's a massive chance it will fail on you... kaya nga sa mga tire shops they offer discounts as much as 30% kasi luma na ibibigay sayo... it's like beer, first in = first out

Are there indicators for expired, never-been used tires?

only recommended for city driving with bumber to bumper traffic situations almost everytime you go through those roads. but even though on city driving, if you're going to travel 80 kph ++, think again

for provincial and highway trips, don't even think about it.

may manufacturing date sa sidewall ng tire sir.

as long as you know how to look and translate stamping sa tires its all good... All my tires are 2nd hand... everything is a ok... usually i look for mags with tires that is a good buy then I'll sell my old ones with fracture of the cost... kasi ang mags po tumataas yung price... before I can buy 15" Rota mags with good tires now its only the mags w/ no tires... well depend rin sa mags... but my target is really the tires as long as the mags looks decent ok na yun... plus easier to change....

for me when changing tires always by 2

Any recommended shops for second-hand tires?

Before you purchase consider the following:

1. What brand of tyres you prefer

2. How much is the brand new price

3. How much is the other manufacture price

4. How old is the 2nd hand tyres? typical sa 2nd hand tyres mga 3 years and above.

5. What is the cost difference if you buy brand new?

Dumaan din ako sa stage na ito since I want to replace 4 tyres due to age, I was looking for a cheap 235/60R16 100H, preferably Bridgestone Dueler. Nag ikot ikot ako sa mga 2nd hand tyre shops, it cost around 1,500-2,500 depends on the thickness of the thread. The earliest na nakita ko manufactured year 2008 Yokohama ang brand. In short much better pa ung naka-install sa ride ko kesa sa mag nakita kong 2nd hand tyres.

Sinabay ko na din sa pag canvas ung cost of a new tyre, shempre kung Bridgestone mahal din, so tumingin na din ako sa China made tyres.

Then one shop nag offer sa akin ng China made Tyre at the cost of 3,300/tyre un na ang kinuha ko.

Did I feel any difference? sa driving wala, pero sa wallet ko konti lang ang nabawas.

BTW: asa akin pa din ung 4 na 235/60R16 100H Bridgestone Dueler, keep ko lang sa garage as spare or kung meron mag offer to buy.

personally i won't gamble on a 2nd hand tyre.
