tires for trooper

[s_quilicot]

hi this summer i will replace the tires of my trooper ..
but i noticed that the original size wich is 245/70r16 is a little bit small ..
i want to change it with a wider tire, my options is 265 or 275 mm tire,

i would like to have some more info about what im planing to do ..
tnx guys ..

275/75 was a bit wide and harder to steer in my experience.
255/70 or 265/70 might be better if its available.

[s_quilicot]

thanks sir ..

safe ba sa sayad ang 265 sa trooper? i mean pag niliko yung tire hindi ba tatama sa fender or mudguard ? im planning kasi to replace my stock bridgestone 245/70 h/t to 265/70 dueler H/P .. ung V-shape thread tire ng bridgestone .. para mas pino ang ride dito sa metro ..

if nagpalit nako sa 265 noticable ba ang increase sa gas consumption ng trooper ko? lets say 30 psi lng ung air presure ko ..

i am using 265/75r16. one service advisor post it that it is the maximum without rubbing. but one tsikoteer here is using 285/75. not sure lang kung me rubbing sya.

Sir, I just replaced last week the tires of my 2001 Trooper after 45,000km. Upgraded from 245/70R16 to 265/70R16. Parang mas maganda ang tindig ng Trooper and less bumpy and ride. 30psi front and rear ang air pressure with 3 passengers. Got the tires from MH Miller sa Timog Ave, QC. at discounted price ofP5,800 each from regular price of P6,500.

sir may rubbing ba? and sa 16x7 trooper mags nyo ba ginamit?

[Starex_Gold]

hindi ba parang sobrang lapad naman nyan? kasi diba sa kotse, ginagawa mo namang manipis ang rubber kapag lumalapad na. Parang yung sa Optra ko, gusto kong gawing 205/50. Dating 195/55. Kaya yung sa Trooper ko baka maging 255/65. Pwede kaya?

[s_quilicot]

255/65/16 ? wala siguro ganun .. 245/70 kasi sir bitin eh .. pansin nyo?

plan ko nga kukulitin ko si erpat na switch nalang sa 18" with 285/60 hehe ..

[Starex_Gold]

Yun nga problema ko bro eh. Bitin. Pero sobrang sarap naman iliko kasi sobrang gaan ng manibela. Pag nilagyan ko naman ng 265/70 magmumukang sobrang liit ng mags natin. Parang Fortuner.. hehehe

Hindi ko na papalitan ng mags yung Explorer. Ang mahal! 230k! baka yung Trooper nalang.. MOMO yung brand. Pero hindi chrome kasi sobrang bigat ng chrome eh. 150k lang 20''rims+tires. Sa roadstar alabang din meron.

Saan ka ba bibili ng Rota? Gusto ko rin kasi yung Grid na 20'' eh. Baka mas mura pa yun.

Sir, mags is 16x7 original ng 2001 Trooper. Steering is perfect, just like with 245/70/R16 original tires. No rubbing at all. Replacement tires are still Bridgestone Dueler H/T but 265/70/R16. P5,800 each excluding lead weights. Shop is MH Miller along West Avenue (not Timog as earlier mentioned) near EDSA in Quezon City.

One thing I noticed, steering is a bit heavier with my 2001 Trooper 4x4 vs my other 2003 Trooper 4x2. Both have Bridgestone Dueler H/T 265/70/R16.

Very satisfied with my Troops.

[Starex_Gold]

Dahil kaya 4WD yung 2001 model mo?

Bro, Meron nang grid na 20'' nakita kong naka display sa booth ng Rota sa MIAS. Di ko lang natanong kung magkano.

I used 275-75-16 on a stock trooper enkei/mesh mags. I noticed heavier acceleration and steering, aside from that I encountered no problem. Went back to stock and sold it including the mags.
