Tire Replacement for gen1 CRV - 205/70/r15

[crazy_boy]

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 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).

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.

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

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.

thank you for all the replies.


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

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.

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.
