yes a/t iyong oem tires ko bro. dunlop a/t 20 grandtrek to be exact. parang konti nga lang ganun nakikita ko dati na ganyan ang tires straight from the casa

hindi pa ako maka decide kung ano kunin ko bro eh. few hundreds lang naman actually difference nila all-in-all pero kasi hindi ko alam kung malaki ang difference nila in terms of road noise.

kung relatively same lang ang produce nila na road noise baka mag a/t na lang uli ako

Parehas tayo ng concern. Gusto ko rin A/T pero maingay daw and madulas sa basa?

actually hindi naman maingay a/t tires at hindi naman din madulas sa basa base sa experience ko. although hindi naman din ako pariwara sa pagmamaneho to begin with so i guess that's a factor na din

pero i'm thinking mas tahimik talaga ang h/t tires kung babasehan iyong doon sa kotse namin hehe

There are a lot of tire brands to choose from and others that I'm not familiar with. Now I know that I have an alternative among the list.

What I have is Bridgestone Turanza. I'll see Yokohama... two years from now.

Thank you for this thread.

literature varies from 6 years to 10 years, depending on what one is reading.
i easily remember michelin's "tires are not bananas" infomercial.
i would probably replace the tires when the tire wear markers are reached, which, i estimate, will be in 4-5 years.
i replace in pairs.

I have a friend, who has a friend, that had tires for almond 10 years. Their car is seldomly used so odometer reading is about 10k only. When they drove the car last time, it was a bumpy ride with an accompanying clonking sounds (not sure about the sound, I might have mixed up the story). They found out that one of the tires had an internal lump. This is after they spent a lot of time with their mechanic checking mechanical parts for any mechanical failures.

dry rot?
over-inflation?
bad, forgotten bump in the past?

in my case, it was an old-timer who found out.
