Best Mid-Priced Tires

[rmrevs]

Hi Tsikoters,
Need some help on deciding which tires to get. My current situation is:
Current Tire: Federal FD2 205 55 R16
Current Ride: GM6 - IHEd
Budget: Php 20,000
Driving Style: 80% City 20% Spirited Highway
Preferred Characteristics of tires: Balanced dry and wet traction, less noise than current tires
Treadwear should not be much of an issue as I do tire rotate every 5months or 5k KM whichever comes first and changes tires every 35k or 3 years whichever comes first.

Here's the result found as of writing.
Dunlop DZ102 - Noise after 50% of life
Yokohama S Drive - Hard to find
Toyo DRB - budget is a bit stretched without the 3+1 promo (TireShakk)
Hankook S1 Noble2 - soft sidewall according to reviews
Goodyear F1 D5 - budget is a bit stretched without the 3+1 promo (Goodyear)
BFGoodrich GForce Sport Comp2 - No dealer found as of yet

I think the Yokohama Advan Fleva v701 will fit your budget nicely at 4,850/ea. SRP

Thanks for the input, paps. Maganda review nya esp. Malaysian's, tropical weather same as ours, pero meron sa FB page mismo ng Yokohama PH meron nagsabi na may blown out. I was looking for Yokohama's response but found none. Hopefully someone can confirm if this is true or haters lang.

Haters lang malamang.

Saan yung nagsabi na sumasabog Advan? Baka naman yung A.Drive yan? Napakalayo naman ng A.Drive sa Advan.

And the A.Drive was only prone to bukol, not blowout.

8 years and 33,000 on our A Drives and wala pang bukol

All 1.8S FDs came with A.Drives and the percentage with sidewall lumps is small. Maingay lang talaga sa social media kaya lakas manira ng reputation.

Makes sense. Those with complaints will make the most noise.

Anecdotal info from our side, although with a very small sample size... feeling ko bridgestones ride harder than the yokohamas but the yokohamas wear out faster.

Our small sample size on passenger cars with about 1 set each hahahaha:
Yokohama A Drives
Yokohama A300
Bridgestone Ecopia
Bridgestone Turanza ER30

Nakita ko sa page ng Yokohama PH, may nagcomment dun, paps. As of now, I am strongly considering Fleva.
DZ102
DRB
Fleva V701
Ventus S1 Noble2

I am now down to 4 tires, pag nagkatime na ako, iikot na ulit ako sa Evangelista at T. Mapua to get best price and most freebies.

Any feedback on the Falken Ziex ZE914 Ecorun? Was shopping for tires in DKC Marikina and from the tires offered this is the one readily available, and at a good price too. Also, as the staff say mas tahimik ito as compared to the current SP Sport 01 and the SP Sport LM704.



I was actually insisting on the LM704 pero sabi nga nung staff eh madali raw magbukol mga Dunlops ngayon, talk that I've read sa mga forums din. In fact, yung isa sa SP Sport 01 na nakakabit ngayon it seems eh me bukol din from the sounds of its tire noise.

Other choices are the Yokohama A.Drive and the Advan Fleva, but the price of these Falkens is really quite attractive.

Those Falkens look really good as daily tires. Almost got them instead of my Kumho Ecsta but I was able to get the Kumho at the same price so I went for that.

The Ziex probably has less grip but better longevity, which is more important for daily use.

so I bought Toyo DRB (225/45 r17) for 5.2k / piece para sa fronts ko. advan fleva sana kaya lang walang stock, kahit sa yokohama mismo.

so far I like it. was able to drive at TPLEX * 200km/h and was confident on the road. hindi pa maingay. what I don't like about it is mas maganda thread pattern ng rears ko. also it looks slimmer because of the rounded corners ng sidewall, compared to my other tires.

rears ko nga pala is federal 595. may naf-feel akong slight hydroplaning on puddles, but probably because of my rears. not that much, but meron.

overall happy with these tires.

Kung sa brand lang, I'll choose Yokohama. Had bad experiences on Dunlop and Accelera. Dunlop, mahina ang sidewall nagkakabukol. Yung Accelera, when it was losing air sa pito, pagkavulcanize, sira na yung tires even if it was just a day old. Will never buy from those brands again.

+1 on the Yokohamas.

Astig pa ng mga sidewall designs except perhaps dun sa nabili kong BlueEarth which is their normal economy tire. I had Yokos with bukol din previously but it was almost way past it's service life na rin at that time. Since office bahay lang naman ako I really make full use of the tire hanggang wala na nga halos matirang tread. Isa pa, they mostly survive a lot of vulcanizing kaya umaabot sa hanggang kalbo na. Haha.
