Replacement tires on the GS?

[jrln]

just want to know what are good replacement tires for the GS' Hankook RA08 215/70 R16s.

i was scouting for RA08s this morning in sucat and evangelista in makati but found none. all said there were no stocks of that brand and model. and then another added that it was discontinued already.

i was hoping i could find one because i just need one to replace one of my front tires and intend to put the unused spare tire, also an RA08, on the other front side.

but if i cant find an RA08, i'll probably buy 2 tires of the same make and model. preferably 6 ply also with same or better load rating.

pls advise. thanks.

From some research a month or two back, I think the Neuton (I forget the exact model) 225/70r16 will match the RA08's load rating, which is among the important factors due to the GS's weight.

Yung Nexen pwede siguro. Pero hirap din maghanap nun. Try niyo Bridgestone kahit mas malapad ng konti.

May nakita kasi akong gray market HVX (17" rims) naka-Bridgestone Dueler..

Di ata kakayanin kung load indicator ang basehan. But then, also, if you don't load as much, tapos better branded tire, baka pwede na rin.

Nexen at Hankook lang kasi may exact size para sa GS.

I noticed walang hiya ang mga Koreano pagdating sa tires. Walang exact same size sa mga branded. Hahaha

Hehehe! Ok ah.

Eto yung nahanap ko sa Neuton dati:

They have 215/70r16, but 100 lang yung load rating.

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.
