brand na gulong maganda pero hindi mahal

[rjs898]

For my ride (Corolla 97 GLI) i'm using Dunlop 195/R15/55 - 3500/per tire, made in japan, almost one year na sia and still looking good.

Ano po ang model ng Dunlop? Have been using 901s pero malapit na, kailangan na palitan. Sobra mahal naman ng Direzza. Am looking at Maxxis, may bad feedback ba ito? I am particular din kasi sa tread pattern and sa kapit esp when wet, dapat may labasan ang water from the middle of the tire. Would appreciate any recommendations, thanks.

i doubt the fuel-saving aspect. because even though the tires create less drag, hindi significant yung savings.

The tires do save fuel to some extent by using special rubber compounds tuned for less rolling resistance. Generally the tradeoff is between comfort, fuel efficiency, performance (and of course cost). These tires sacrifice some ride comfort and grip for low rolling resistance, but the special materials make the sacrifice less significant.

Note that rolling resistance is the reason why underinflated tires give less fuel economy - they're harder to roll down the road than properly (or over-) inflated tires. However for safety and tire durability do NOT overinflate your normal tires to save fuel!

ganda ng tread ng maxxis victra. yun dapat bibilin ko kaya lang walang victra for 16's. i ended up buying the nexen n2000. so far so good naman. 2900 kuha ko sa CTS West Ave. Napamahal lang ako sa mags repair, palit pito tsaka tingga.

advice ko sa mga bibili ng goma, look for shops na nagooffer ng free camber align, free pito/tingga like GTD. minsan kahit mejo mahal ang goma nila nakatipid ka naman sa free services nila.

pinaka high end ng federal, the 595 is 3.2k lang sa 195/55/15 na size.

Tumaas na rin pala 595. I got a pair last Dec 08, at 2700 each, same size..

di ko sure kung may promo pa sa payless libis. pero nung nag inquire ako a few weeks ago, yung federal 595 nila is around 2.9k. 195/50r16.

hows the grip bro?

hows the grip bro?

better than the eagle ventura i used to have, especially on wet roads. their 595 was categorized on the motorsport level and being used for drifting.

Ah . . . sadly they dont have 205/55/15 for my altis.

Now i'm eyeing for the Michelin pilot preceda 2.

SOft compound ba 595?

SQ hindi naman ata maganda ang performance ng Pilot Preceda eh. sabi nung mga Civic 2.0S-L owners (kasi yun ang stock tires).

anong itsura nyang federal 595?
