    ser vinrem, uwi ka ba sa October holiday?
    if yes at kung nasa Maynila ka. kita kits.

    BTW alam natin na ang standard sizes ng Carens natin ay
    (205/65 R15) for LX and for (205/60 R16) EX at yung sa North America with the V6 engine has the (225/50 R17) . So if u go by that size that should be safe... no need to go 45series for R17 unless u go for 235 or 245 section width...

    sa ngayon ang gulong ko ay (225/55 R17), yes one size bigger. i think for my next tire change (might be soon, parang madaling mapudpod ang Dunlop eh, hehe) siguro ay (215/55 R17).
    ang reason ko ay... 215 para slightly wider, just one size wider than stock....at the 55 series para to maintain exact same wheel diameter and ride height....

    Thanks sir, hirap maghanap kasi ng 16", mas gusto ko sana ng 16" para in between lng ng 15" and 17" kaso yung available lng lagi ay 15" and 17", i will check sa isang shop sa shanghai that i saw, daming alloy wheels na binibenta, pag may nagustuhan ako baka dito lng ako bibili then shipped it to pinas, pag wala....sa pinas na lng ako bibili, problem kasi sa bacolod, konti lng ang pagpipilian eh.

    BTW, sa december pa ako uuwi, sana nga para maka-attend ako ng eb natin sa october

    Mga sir mejo matigas ang feeling ko e. kasi nga sa sobrang wide niya siguro. ang balak ko kasi before talaga e 225 50 18 yata e. kaya lang may konting sayad e so nagdecide ako na 245 40 na lang. SIr parakito pag nagpalit ka ng 215 55 e mas bababa ka ng konti compare to 225 55 mo. the reason is ang computation niyan e 55 percent of 225 against 55 percent of 215. kaya baba konti yan height. Kaya pansin niyo wheel ko kahit na 40 series yan mejo makapal pa din dahil sa 245 ang lapad niya e. kaya lang ang ingay sa road. sir parakito try mo ang runway tires. It's made in china but has a very good quality. mas mura pa siya sa dunlop. yun lang mas maingay siya due to its thread design.

    oo ser, 11mm's to be exact (whole tire diameter) and 5.5mm in ride height. i can live with that. haha. oo mas matigas talaga ang ride...maybe we can switch turns in trying the other's ride and see the difference.

    Hahah sobra tigas ng ride ko compared to stock. It's due to my tire size and siguro sa brand ng goma ko din. mejo makunat kasi e. Well tried and tested ko na kasi itong brand na ito e. I'm over satisfied with it. Imagine nalubak ko siya nayupi ang rim pero the tire itself walang damage. ang ayaw ko lang sa ngayon mejo nanginginig ang steering ko pag high speed na ako e. unlike before sa stock kahit 200 takbo ko its still stable.

    Maybe pag napudpud na ito palitan ko ng 225 50 18 para mas mataas ang ride at mas tahimik na.

    ser Mschumacher, sa akin naman medyo binabaan ko ng konti yung tire pressure para lumambot yung ride... about 1 or 2 psi lang. pero ang maganda naman dun sa Dunlop, parang tahimik sya....halos suspension noises lang ang maririnig mo....

    oo pareho tayo nanginginig ang manibela.... about a month ago pina balance ko sya sa BridgeStone the d Fort...... Php700+ ba naman singil! grabe. anyway, di sya totally nawala...

    sa tingin ko sa ride ang problema eh.... ganito kasi ang observation ko sa kanya....

    ** steering wheel vibration: sometimes happens on speeds of 100kph and above...
    ** sometimes, meaning it only occurs on some types of road surfaces...not all the time i hit 100kph.

    ** what's strange is, if i go faster than 100kph... nawawala tuloy sya. hehe strange dba?

    so i think suspension is not heavy duty enough to handle big fat tires???
