Best Mid-Priced Tires

[_Cathy_]

S&R: What brands do they carry? Are these mid priced or high end tires?

Goodyear gave me an estimate of P3600 for my 2010 Altis. I used to buy Goodyear tires but I heard that the quality is not as good anymore.

I am thinking of replacing all 4 tires. Is 4k a decent budget already? I don't want to buy cheap tires since I had a bad experience in college (nasabugan ako). I don't want expensive tires though since it is not my daily driver. My stock tires are Bridgestone Turanza, that model is phased out na daw sabi sa Goodyear.

BTW I am wondering why my tires got kalbo at 4 years - 36000 kms. The rear tires are more kalbo tham the front tires too. I did not expect to replace my tires at only 4 years. I was thinking 10 years. In 2003/4 my Mom bought me tires for my big body and when I sold it in 2014 makapal pa rin yung gulong. Yung Lancer ko more than 10 years din ata tumagal yung gulong. I remember I got new tires in college nung nasabugan ako (that was the 90s ) and I never bought new tires until I sold it in 2012. Makapal pa rin.

Yung Altis ko pag tinignan mo gulong akala mo jeep sa kalbo So embarrassing. Baka pinaltan sa casa tires ko. kidding. I have to make a very wise purchase since I am paying it for the tires now. Mahal pala ng gulong. Akala ko 2k each lang

10yrs ago yung price na 2k each whats your stock tire size? As suggested in previous thread, Kumho Ecsta has good value for money. Mukhang ok din Toyo tires.

I bought nankang for our car in 2012, manufactured 2011. So farvso good, better than the previous goodyear tire that came before it. AFAIK, nankang is made in taiwan.

In general tires (whether kalbo na or hindi) lasts 5-6 years kasi rubber hardens over time. Kaya nga diba if you buy new tires its very important to see what the manufacturing date printed on the tire is. Ako din recently I bought a tire for my Lexie and I watched out for the manufacturing date. Its that number as shown in the picture below...



First two digits is the week and the last two digits is the year so the tire I bought was manufactured in the 2nd week of 2014 so bago pa. Basta try to get the newest tires that you possible can...

Kasi you might be getting an old-unused tire sitting in the warehouse rather than a real new tire...

My opinion is there is no need to get expensive tires sayang lang sa pera mga nasa P3500-P5000 level ayos na yan. I suggest Federal Tires very good price/performance.

What's acceptable na age ng tire. If I buy now, basta 2014 okay na?

Yep maskin 2013 should be ok... Syempre the newer the better. Don't accept anything that is more than 2 years old kasi lugi ka lang...

I don't know about the car tires, but the SUV tires like Michelin at S&R are mostly old stocks. Labels falling off or dirty or even turning yellow.

please be aware that tires expire at 6 years, used or unused. expert industry advice to replace your tires between 5-6 years. you can read about this from various studies.

using more than 6 year old tires is dangerous. they are ticking time bombs. don't cheap out on tires since it is your life and your passenger's life that is on the line. just because makapal ang gulong does not mean it is still road-worthy.

I need to replace the tires on my 2010 Altis since it's turning 5 soon. The tires were manufactured on the 3rd week of 2010 though.

I am choosing between Michelin and Bridgestone:

Michelin = P4300 x 4 = P17200
Bridgestone = P3850 x 4 = P15400

The stock tires are Bridgestone. I am having trouble deciding if I should buy Michelin since I only use the car now as my coding car. It only has 38k+ on the odometer.

US NHTSA says 10 years maximum life for tires from date of manufacture. At 4-5 years and 38+ thousand KMs, these shouldn't be a problem yet. Pa inspect mo nalang more regularly for bukol/etc.

I try to replace tires on our car at 8-9 years of age.

Also, not only brand is important but also the model. If you want alternatives, look for the Yokohama A300 or the A.Drives or the upper end Yokohama C.Drives.

^The tires are kalbo already. I am also wondering because I had a car with tires that lasted me over 10 years (though I don't use it often).

Does anyone know where I can buy Michelin Tires? JIGA's stock of Michelin tires were manufactured on June 2014 pa. Isn't that a bit old already?

Kung kalbo at 38T KMs, you need to have wheel alignment done more often... Toe in/out adjustment is likely.

I also tried looking around before and Michelin tires tend to be older kasi mas mabagal gumalaw (due to being more premium I guess).

Between the Bridgestone ER30s and the Yokohama A.Drives both on the FD, the Yokohamas are more comfortable.

Also, June 2014 isn't so old, considering if they were manufactured abroad. Probably 1-3 months for delivery here to the PH, and the tires have probably been with the dealer for less than 3 months as well

edit: weird yung forum ngayon, laging nag ddouble post in the same post.
edit2: With regards to the car with tires older than 10 years, hazard na yan kasi lumulutong na yung goma. For 20-30kph driving on coding days, *baka* pwede pa, but I would never take that on the highway. Although since you said 'had', I'm assuming sold na.

Get the known brands e.g. tire suppliers in motorsports, for peace of mind.

Yokohama G902 is more expensive than Bridgestone dueller

[red_one]

Yokohama G902 is more expensive than Bridgestone dueller

just because Yokohama was grouped in Mid-range brand tires does not mean it will be cheaper than Bridgestone which was grouped in Premium brand tires. it also does not automatically mean all Yokohama tires are inferior in comparison to Bridgestone tires. it's still case-to-case basis.

If I were in your shoes, I'll get Michelin tires if it were in the same price range of yokohama.

Using Dunlop lm series and I have to say it has good grip and fairly quiet. Downside is mabilis mapudpod. Using is it for 2 years and I think it's at 60% na lang.
