    Maganda naman ang feedback sa Westlake... ng mga dealer at manufacturer

    Personally I prefer Indonesian made tyres like Neuton and GT

    How about Nankang. I believe they even have better reviews vs. Westlake. What I am unsure is if they have 15" tires. Check this link to know your options: ::::NANKANG::::

    Ako rin I will go with Nankang (taiwan brand) over Westlake. Have you considered KENDA, heard good reviews too.

    To aid those who would like to help you, how much is your "limited budget"?

    It would be 3,200 per tire. I'll also have to replace all balljoints(555) and tierods(555) and camber alignment too kya medyo cant afford na ung more than 3,200 per tire. Nga pla 4pcs ba ang tierod(2xinner and 2xouter?)

    Tierods are only located in front. Nope, 2 pcs only. Left and right.

    I’m currently on budget tires, not Westlake but Sumitomo HTR200-Made in Japan with Load/speed rating of 94H. In 5 months of use, they have been great dry/rain tires so far. There’s some flex on cornering due to its soft sidewall but this is solved by increasing the tire pressure to 39 psi… other than that these are good tires for the price. I bought them 2.9k before, Someone in Sulit is selling them at 2.8k each now.

    205-65-15 Brandnew Sumitomo (Japan) Tires for 2.8K only! Philippines - 3277169

    +1 on Sumitomo tires. Underated by very good reviews.

    Word of caution lang, make sure when you buy tires for your Crosswind (a commercial vehicle) it should meet the suggested LOADING INDEX rating. Baka kasi may makita kang mura pero pang passenger car. baka kapag nag-full load ka, sumabog yung goma.

    Safety first partner.

    Nankang and Kenda are Taiwanese brands. Quality is good and trusted by many sportscar drivers. Its been quite some time since I last bought tires and so am not so sure as to its prices now but 205/65/R15 tires shouldn't be very expensive, right? But I'd suggest you not to scrimp too much on the tires, cheap tires might end up having a shorter life and poor performance which means you will be buying again soon. Best I'd suggest is Bridgestone Turanza's pero kung di kaya, you may want to try out the Nankang and Kenda brands.

    Can you send me the details where i can buy any of these tires (Nankang/Kenda) so that i can call them up and see their reviews online? thanks much

Trying to look for a different tire brand for my crosswind
