preho lang. basta same size kinuha mo ha, 205R15. what i'm very impressed about is the very much improved wet grip. effective yung nilakihan nila yung water channels. dati when I drive through water puddles, parang nag-i-slide yung S306, nowadays, walang palya yung kapit sa road, kaya anlakas ng loob ko tumakbo ng mabilis even on wet roads. although i do it with caution of course. baka pudpod na S306 mo. madali mapudpod yung S306's, saka di pantay kung makalbo kahit well aligned ang kotse mo.

speed lab, yung pumutok na bulb ko ay 100/90 watts rin.. blue cap ang brand, yung zoom lite.. yung harness ko naman ay narva.. hndi ba ngexplode yung bulb mo kahit sabay ang hi at lo beam? ei, my a-drive tire po ba para sa sportivo? ung 235/70 R15?

Goodyear Fortera is the stock tire for the 2007 XUV Model while
Michelin is the stock tire for the Sportivo variant.

I suggest that you go for the XUV variant rather than the Sportivo.
Only substantial difference is the AV package (walang DVD ang XUV).
XUV offers better value for money than the Sportivo.

Take a look at the XTi Limited Edition... almost as many toys as the Sportivo at a much lower price. And with a much smaller wheel and tire combo, it should ride much better, too.

BTW, Forteras are much better road tires than Michelin LTXs (if that's what's on the Sportivo...) LTXs are pretty slippery in the wet.

medyo nga, pero sa kin ok naman minsan nasa driver nalang yata yun

i have Isuzu Crosswind Xtrm model 2003 modified ko ng Xuvi wanna be, pinalaki ko yung gulong by MAxxis sa inviernes pedrogil 4,500 each...100k kms na siya...50kms nun napa calibrate ko then 80kms fuel solenoid yata yun pinalitan waa tirik ako grinhils nun,,,,ngaun 100kms calibrate ulit medyo mausok ng 1month after calibration,,ngayon medyo ok na ganun ba talaga yun after calibration ? sa ZABALA ko nagpacalibrate 5k ang mahal yata...

Alang kwenta yang LTX ang ingay, matagtag pa

Recommended ko pa rin GT Maxmiler CX gumandang takbo ng XTRM ko

punta sa sa australian website nila (www.yokohama.com.au). may pdf file dun ng yokohama a-drive. that's where I saw it and convinced me to get it. meron din side-by-side comparison vs. the S306. almost same price lang ng S306.
