Can I have size 205 R15 on my front wheels and size 225 R15 on my 1999 CRV?

Hi Fellow Members,

Tulong naman. I got a 1999 CRV lately. It is presntly fitted with 225 70 R15 tires. Kaya lang I already need to replace the pair on the rear dahil pudpod na. Gusto ko sanang ibalik sa stock 205 70 R15 yung mga gulong kaya lang I only have money for now to buy just 2 tires (medyo kapos). OK lang ba yun kung size 205 ako sa harap at size 225 sa likod? Later on pag may budget na at medyo pudpod na rin yung isa pang pares ko ng gulong, bibili na rin ako ng isa pang pares ng 205.

Your opinions please. Again, I have no money to replace all 4 tires for now.

the 99 V has a 4wd system that relies on rotational speeds of the 4 wheels in order to activate. its not electronic, so there's very little tolerance that can be programmed in.

simply put, the differences in size bet. the front and rear must be kept to minimum so you wont F up your 4wd system. malaki ang diff bet. 205 and 225 ha... the latter is a lot wider, so more rubber and heavier. how long have you been running these sizes? do you feel/hear weird noises when you turn (thats the rear differential malfunctioning)?

i suggest you just get the same sizes na lang for whichever size you want to run. sa akin nagpalit ako ng nankang 205/70/15 dinnung 2008, all 4 less than 10k - easily cheaper than branded tyres - after having come from 225/75/r15 yoko all terrain geolandars (na sobrang bigat at ingay) which cost me about 15k all 4 in 2004.

di yan pwede. pwede pa kung pang spare tire basta mabagal lang takbo mo. kun short ka sa budget suggest ko lang you get used tires with usable tread na not more than 4 years old

Hi voltscastillo,

Thank you sa response. Actually bibili pa lang ako ng gulong. Hindi ko pa pinapalitan yung mga gulong ng CRV. Size 225 pa rin yung apat na gulong ko. Balak ko pa lang palitan yung 2 sa likod pabalik sa size 205. I canvassed for Goodyear Fortera and Bridgestone Dueler pero parehong almost P5,000 per piece yung kanilang 205. Kung about P10,000 lang yung Nankang, OK ako dyan. Kaya lang, saan ba ako pwedeng makabili n'yan. Hindi ko makita in any of the threads.

Salamat uli!

Sir,

Ayaw mo ng Yokohama?

Last week I bought from premier Yokohama dealer in Commonwelath para sa Innova 205/65/r15 pero nagtanong ako ng 70 series na Geolandar H/T which is P3200/piece SRP. Problema bago pa yung reserba ko kaya balik pa rin of sa 65 series na Aspec, ending buying 3 pieces 205/65/r15 *P3,450 SRP but I got especial discount and got it for P3,260/piece.

Mas mura ng P250/piece ang 70's compared to 65's.

Marami na akong na canvass na tire supply, pero mas mura talaga sa talagang tindahan ng Yokohama at fresh production batch ang makukuha mo. Check mo sa website ng Yokohama philippines ang mga dealers na malapit sa place mo.

If you want alternative merong Kenda na 70's P2800/piece. parang Fortera din ang sidewalls.

Mile2,

Maraming maraming salamat. Kung ganyan ang price medyo konting dagdag na lang, pasok na sa budget ko. Magtatanong na lang ako na malapit na dealer. Actually tumawag na ako sa Miller. Meron silang Dunlop series 70 at ang price ay P3,200 each. Kaya lang marami akong naririnig na hindi maganda sa Miller eh kaya ayoko sana dun bumili kung pwepwede. Mga hoodlums daw ang mga 'yan. :evil: Anyway, thank you uli.
