Tire Replacement for gen1 CRV - 205/70/r15

[crazy_boy]

Ok, so I was able to gather good suggestions for the tire replacement for our Vios in my previous thread.


Now, I need to replace the 4 tires of my gf's gen1 CRV. I already researched in other forums, and found out that the Bridgestone H/T series is not the best tire to get. Would like to get the best tire suggestion here in Tsikot



PS, im not a fanboi

Ok, so I was able to canvass from different stores already and came out with these tire brands:

1. Bridgestone 684 (i think this is the OEM tire) priced at 4300 (with install)

2. Kumho 857 priced at 4000 (with install)

3. Falken Landair CT3 priced at 4136 (with install + nitro)



all tires doesnt include cost of wheel weights and tire valves. which one would be the best option here?

Try checking Yokohoma Geolandar H/Ts and the Goodyear Wrangler A/P. Were using the Wranglers on a Ford Escape and Hyundai Tucson and initial impressions are good in terms of wet grip and noise reduction versus the old Bridgestones HTs we previously had on them.

Thank you for your reply sir.

as per Goodyear Pasig, they dont have wrangler series for that size. what they have is the Fortera series priced at 4550. mixed review yung Fortera series.

As for the Yokohama Geolander H/T (there are several models pala, wasnt able to ask which specific model) its priced at 4k. might get this one instead. How about C.drive, ok ba yung tire na ito?

thanks

go for the yokos over the bridgestones. the bridgestones wear out easily from my experience (had these also when we had the gen2 crv before). I was really happy also with the dunlop le mans RV (i dunno if they still sell these though). they look wider for some reason (despite having the same size 205/70/15).

kumhos are pretty decent as well (have these in my current tucson), but i think kumho solus yun. i think these are silicon tires.

cant say much about falkens, never had them.

Ok sir. Will check out Yokohama Geolander H/T or Dunlop. Though I've heard a lot of bad reviews about Dunlops having bulok and exploding (unused spare) for no reason.

I will probably scratch out Bridgestone in my list for now.

We have a 1st gen CRV running on Yoko Geolandar H/T-S's. Been quite satisfied with them. Good value, long lasting and not much road noise. Interestingly, when I checked the local website, YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR TIRE - Yokohama Tires, the R15s weren't listed anymore.

Our tires were installed 2 yrs ago so I hope Yokohama hasn't phased out the R15's.

If you are a member of S&R you can get your wheels there. That's where I got my yoko geolanders. Comes with nice warranty, free balancing every 6 months and anytime it gets punctured i think its also free repair. They will also balance it before they attach it.

yes, i am a member of S&R. They have good service but im sure it comes with a price. For example, a Yokohama a.drive 185/65(?)/14 tire will cost 3250 in S&R, as for the the 205/70/15 Geolander cost only 3700 in our accredited company accredited tire supplier.

However, I would like to clarify if I need to have my wheels balanced every 6 months? if not, that service will be useless since the S&R is also quite far from my place.

I have used two sets of fortera tires on my gen 2 crv. Each set lasted only two years with my usage. I am now using the wrangler series and i am nearing two years and tire tread is still good. I would estimate this set could last at least three years with me. As far as I know, the fortera is already faced out and the wrangler series replaced it. I was not happy with fortera because of poor tread life and tends to be noisy after a few months use. Just check goodyear's website, wrangler 205/70/R15 is available.

Thanks for your feedback sir. I guess the lady at Capitol Goodyear was selling me new old stocks already. Because I was asking for the wrangler series and she kept insisting the Fortera series.

I might end up with Yokohama instead. Seems like the locally made Yokohama has a good following.

i had these, too. they phased them out; what were they thinking?

How about C.drive, ok ba yung tire na ito?

had this years ago on my sedan. handling's very good, but it's a passenger car tire. wonder if those are new stocks.

if i still had my v, next set would either be geolandar or the current wrangler.

you can always check the week and year of manufacture on the sidewall.

Thanks for the reply. Already reserved a set of Yokohama Geolander H/T-S G046 model. Will pick it up in Saturday. got it at 3700 per tire (fleet discount kasi) hehe

That is a good deal for 3,700. My car came with these geolander tires when I bought it. Ok naman.

[LoBudget]

Where are you getting them? Also, you might want to consider getting the wider ones like 215 or some even have 225 on the stock rims.

[crazy_boy]

thank you for all the replies.


already got the set of Yokohama Geolander G046 model with 5th week 2012 production date.

[cvt19]

I have a Gen 1 CRV also.

Planning now to change tires to a 215 from 205

Looking at brands like Achilles, Delium, Thunderer, Aeolus, Sailun and Westlake.

I heard Indonesian tires are good compared to the chinese tyres.

Hope to hear your suggestions.

[minicarph]

lalakas lang konsumo sa 215 tapos bibigat pa takbo. I thought of that before, nag stick na lang ako sa 205

I see. buti pala nag-advice kayo sir. hehe thanks sir

how about 205 60 R16? Palit mags to 16. but still same width.

[wewoy_romero]

on 15" or on the stock mags, 215 70 15 is ok. lalakas ng konti sa fuel consumption but barely noticeable. magmamali rin ng konti ang odometer at speedometer but again, hindi ganun ka noticeable. mas less tagtag and more firmer steering.

if you go 16", use 215 60 16. same as above. may konting mali sa speedometer at odometer but barely noticeable. mas matagtag nga lang.

ganun naging route ko kasi from stock ng gen1. currently using 225 55 17 which hurts fuel consumption and ramdam na talaga yung tagtag and the unneven roads (tires too wide). planning to go down to 215 55 17.
