2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[yebo]

gasgas sa tabi yung gs, dinala ni misis sa vigan di natantya yung gate ng house ng friend nya. pa-paint ko na din sabay yung tama sa akin last year ng trisikad.

minamalas a, last month naman inatrasan ng l300 yung bt50 ko. sarap sana batukan yung driver nung kumakamot sa ulo e. swerte ni loko nagmamadali ako kaya tinanggap ko na yung P1k na offer nya. sabagay gasgas bumper lang.

[IMm29]

Hassle! Well, ganun talaga. Nakakaasar man, at least maliit lang and nothing life threatening.

[ronw123w124]

Haaay, ako naman nasabit ni misis yung HVX mags ng GS namin, at least walang tama sa body pero gasgas ang mags.

[CVT]

Hahaha! Pareho pala tayo halos ng konsumo sa highway.

Kalahati lang halos sa city drive.

Yung TCi kay CVT. VGT din akin. Mabigat din ang paa. Pero mabigat din yung katawan. Hehehe!

10.5 km/L yung tci mo sa hiway, 12 km/L vgt ko jejeje!

Walandyo sa tipid talaga ang VGT. Wala akong masabi... Iba ang driving comfort + the amenities...

Mahal nga lang ng about P300K vs. the TCI for the same tranny variant,- kaya TCI na lang ulit ako....

With a difference of 3Km/L (6Km vs. 9Km average for example); and a diesel fuel pump price of P43/L, I estimate na "mababawi" ko lang (sa krudong nakunsumo ko) ang P300K na difference in price at approx 125,500 Km.....

Sa ngayon , after almost 5 years (lugi na ako),- 25,000 Km pa lang natatakbo ng GS namin....

Depende rin sa user yung tipid sa crudo. Yung gs vgt a/t ko maximum 9.6km/l lang fc. Mixed city and highway na yun. Pag purely city driving 5.5-6km/l lang. Kung sa bawi sa tipid sa crudo i think very minimal lang difference. Pero pag hataw na usapan yun ang priceless :D
Parehas pala tayo mababa mileage sa Gs hehe. Yung sakin 4 years and a month old and 17k mileage.

Bro, para di sumama loob mo. For me, personally, those 10-12 km/L tanks are few and very far between since my GS is a city dweller. Unlike yebo, who's out on the road very often when he's in the country, hehehe!

My in-city consumption is similar to bratski's -- 6-7 km/L max. Pambawi na lang somewhat is that it's diesel. And in comparison with a gas-fed van this size, say an E-150, it sips fuel for a comparable performance. Not sure what the Super Grandia makes in the city though. But compared to those two, I find the GS to work for me even if I drive alone.

And my mileage as of this morning is 25,175. Hehehe! Change oil time soon. Any recommended oil?

[IMm29]

What's the minimum requirement for the TCi? CH?

No Signature

Regarding sa tire na oblong din dati oem tires ng GS , nagpalit ako to Nexen, then went with yokohama geolandar mas ok sya mas matagal, now nexen nakakabit, since mahirap oem size ng GS HVX na 17 series, nagpalit na kami before from 205/65R17 to 235/65 R17.

Sakto lang sa wheel arch, pag bago may konting sabit pag extreme left or right yung front tires then nawawala din eventually

Pwede rin kaya 235/70r16 sa GS?
Buti sir fit ang 235/65R17 sa HVX mo.

Parang masyadong malaki yung 235/65/17 considering na 215/65/17 lang ang stock size ng HVX. Thinking of going 225/65/17 on my replacement tires.

[fast lane]

Masyado ngang malaki 235, para sakin mas nagay sa gs kasi malaki naman body ng gs, and mas malapad ang grip sa daan

Pero tingin ko, sakto lang ang 225, basta importante mataas ang treadwear rating

Yung stock Nexen nasa 104 ang tread rating, yung mga 225/65/17 na nakita ko kadalasan nasa 102 ang load rating, I guess its not too far off and besides our GS rarely gets fully loaded.

[CVT]

I have just checked. The specs of the Kumho Tyres I posted yesterday is exactly the same as the OEM Hankook RA08 Tyres I have in our GS

[fast lane]

* sir ron

Yung load rating talga na mataas ang mahirap hanapin sa gs but as mentioned di naman pang kargahan so ok lang

Yung oem na 108 load index ia good for 1ton per tire

And yung 102 is good for 850kg per tire so thats 3400kgs total

And since gs is aprox 2200kgs may remaining 1200kgs pa for load

But having a higher load index may be better for that extra buffer zone

Binasa ko yung tire placard sa may pinto ng driver, kapag 215/70/16 108 ang load index pero yung 215/65/17 104 lang.

[fast lane]

In that case its safe to say na ok pa din yung 102 load index sa 225 or 235 in our gs

On the brochure, GS's curb weight is 2,204 kgs and gross weight is 2,770 kgs.

With these load indices:
Load Index Chart

So, parked it's 2,204 kgs / 4 tires is 551 kg per tire. So at the very least the tire should have a Load index of 88 (560 kgs).
Say you usually have a driver and a passenger weighing about 150 lbs each (136 kg total), then it's 2,340 kgs or 585 kg per tire. At least 90 load index.
If you have a total of 9 occupants at say 150 lbs average (614 kg total), it's about 705 kg per tire or at least 96 load index.

I agree with fast lane, 102 should be safe enough even if loaded. For my 18s, I had been on 235/50 with a 97 load index for over 2.5 years. Sure it wasn't fully laden most of the time -- average of 2,400 kgs half of the time, or much less for others. Treadwear was the issue for the tire change though. I'm now using 101 load index on 235/50r18.

Sir imm29, what's your tire brand and model now? Im still on 97 load index on my 18's. Been over a year now but im still worried it might blow up due to loading issues hehe. I usually haul my family members around. That's around 8 pax.

Hi bratski,

Now using Sailun Atrezzo ZS+. Pumped up to 45 psi cold all around.

How about you, how much air do you have in your 18s? Oh, and where did you source your 18s?

[bratski]

How much did you get those sailun tires sir? I bought mine (nankang sp5) for around 5800 each at marikina. I have these tires for a little over a year now. Same tire size as yours 235/50-18. Im a little worried about the 97 load rating as i sometimes load my starex whenever i go out of town. I usually pump in 38 psi front and 40psi at the back. Honestly ride comfort suffered from the stock 16s. Im currently at 37psi all around to minimize bounciness hehe.
