Altec,

35 psi (cold) ang kumho tires. Pati manual 35psi pero pagtinignan mo parang malambot. pag madalas sa highway puwede mong 38psi. Sobra tigas ang ride pag 40psi.

Masama ang kumho tires wala pang two years oblong yung tatlong goma ko so ipinalit ko ng dunlop lemans sa pricemart. Wala kasing sukat ang goodyear. The nearest they have is 195. dapat talaga 205.

[altec]

ok will load it at 35. Pero nakalagay doon MAX. Kaya pala beyond 35?

[benchph1]

reccomended pressure lang yun accdg to kia. pero pwedeng pwede kang magexceed dun wag lang lalagpas dun sa max psi na nakasulat sa tirewall.

[altec]

benchph1, 35 ang max nakalagay sa tire sidewall. So ganun, di pwede mag 38? Your dunlop has higher max psi sa sidewall?

[benchph1]

Sa tingin ko dapat mong sundin yon. or else posibleng maka-experience ka ng tire blowout.
yung standard issue hankook mileage plus pa rin ang nakakabit sa carnival namin. 35 psi din ang max.

published in Philippine Star today, march 24, 2004. Kia Sedona Van 2902 cc displacement manual 13.214 km/liter. Department of Enegery in partnershipwith Total Phils recently conducted its biggest fuel economy run. The route was from DOE compound in Taguig, to Lipa City Batangas then back to Manila. 170 kms total, 2 passengers per vehicle, max speed 80kph, closed windows with aircon on with thermostat at medium setting, headlights and hazard lights on. So yung 15-17, and even 20 km/liter, hanep yun. Baka nga may na overlook isang resibo?

Altec,

Here is my latest mileage story. It not yet complete because may laman pa yung tank. I went to mariveles for a project and spent three weeks there. I topped the tank and proceeded to head north in the 7:00am at ortigas (picked up another engineer).

We hit the toll gate a 7:15am. The road was clear so we were averaging 120kph. After a few exits the road was wide and my foot began to feel heavy. There was one stretch I sustain 160kph for almost 5 mins. Man what a feeling. This was the first time that I subjected my carnival for such sustained high rpm run. Mind you I wanted to go higher but slower traffic prevented my from reaching higher speeds.

We exited at San fernando reached Mariveles by 8:50am. I forgot to look at the odo (estimated mileage 160km). The rest of the three weeks was short drives from our apartment to the eport processing zone. Upon my return I filled up at a petron station in bataan (mileage 468km). The pump registered 47.5 liters. So my mileage was 9.852km/li. Grabe pala lumamon pag above 3k rpm!!!!!

So upon hitting nlex I got hit by traffic and slowed down my cruising to an average of 90kph. I'll update you on the latest mileage when I topped up this afternoon.

ALTEC,
Sundin mo lang specs ng gulong sa tire pressure. If u overpressure it heat will soon build up and will cause a tire blowout for sure. Esp if Korean made ang tires mo.
