Replacement tires on the GS?

Hmmm... Kung Hiace, those are probably 15" tires. There are lots of options for 15"s. Unfortunately, 16"s are a bit harder to come by, especially in Grand Starex size.

Federal is one tire brand with high load (118 AFAIK) rating due to 3 ply sidewall and 3+2+1 thread ply as well. Mas mataas sa mga branded tires na usually 112 sa AT at 106-108 sa mga HT tires. Mas mura pa ng kunti. Sa 265/70R16 P7,800 ata but Dunlop AT3 is P8,700. Might want to check if meron ganyang brand.

akala ko dati marami nagbebenta ng hankook.

oh well, i'll probably settle for bridgestone later. kaya lang 1 lang kasi kailangan ko sa ngayon.

hmmm...think think muna...

AT type of tires have higher load rating than HT type tires. So might want to use AT tires. Mas mataas din treadwear rating ng Bridgestone Dueller AT at 500 vs HT na 380 lang ata. So mas matagal din mapudpod for sure.

Unfortunately, A/T tires can get noisier than H/Ts. Not sure if there's an A/T for 215/70r16 as well. But hey, worth a try if you like the offroad look.

thanks again for the replies.

yup, agree with IMm29 that A/T tires are noisier than H/T tires and available variants for 16 tires are harder to find.

will probably look at Ry Tower's suggestion on Federal. kaya lang parang konti rin lang nagbebenta nito.
