Low budget yet good quality tires

[IMm29]

how about if changed 4 tires from 195/65 R15 to 205/65 R15.. do i need to replace the spare tire also? 205/65 is just 0.5 inch taller than 195/65. the 195/65 spare tire still relatively new and remains unused.

If the spare will just be there for emergencies, as it apparently is the case for you since your remains unused, then no. Leave the spare as is.

*IMm29: yup, in the last 2 years once pa lang nagamit yung spare tire, i.e. to get to the nearest tire repair shop.

Yes bro. Ok lang yun. Donut tires have bigger discrepancies with oem wheels and tires, yet some donuts are oem. The 0.5" difference won't be a problem for emergencies. It might not even hobble your ride at all.

Rubber ages over time. Tire lifespan is between six to ten years. Conservative estimates use six years but definitely replace tires that are ten years old.

Also environment plays a big role in tire aging. Hot weather and exposure to sunlight will shorten tire life. So if the car is usually left parked in the open more often, I would go for the six year rule on tire life.

To know when your tires were manufactured, there is a stamp information on the side of the tire. Best to know how to read it so you are not caught buying unused OLD expired tires which are unsafe.

wow ganun pala katagal ang life span ng gulong nagulat ako dun ah....here in KSA, with my company we changed our tire yearly or every 70k km or what ever comes first, nanghihinayang nga ako halos ala pang galos puro pa nman Michelen germany na R15....

I agree with IM. And even if it does wobble, just travel slower.

Hell, it's better than having tire problems. I remember one time I ate at KFC Banawe and had a flat tire. I had to go all the way to Shell D.Tuazon to fill it up with air.. all while not even stepping on the gas so I was traveling less than 20km/h that's a 2 PSI tire without spare tires nor tools for you.

Anyone using Petlas tyre? this is made in turkey and supplier told me that quality is good since it is used in aviation.

So does a lot of other tire makers, including some China-made ones. Doesn't make them any more special. The design objectives of aviation vs automotive tires are totally different... worlds apart.

Kakapalit ko lang ng 4 tires (previous tires Goodyear GT3 175/65/14). Nagtanong ako sa halos lahat ng Goodyear Authorized Dealer dito sa metro para sana gawing 4th tire yung spare kong almost unused, mukhang discontinued na at puro duraplus, assurance nalang meron. Replaced with 4 Kumho Solus KH17 (175/65/14) instead through Roadstar The Fort (Costed 2,850/tire and 50/tingga).

I haven't seen yoko decidel yet as well as no idea in pricing but if the tire grooves are finer compared to A drive then its should be better. Tires with fine grooves are usually quieter & less fuel use vs wide grooves.

Low budget yet good quality tires? Kaibiganin nyo yung mga tao sa bentahan ng Mags. Usually yung mga naguupgrade ng size ng rim nakikipagtrade na lang ng goma para maka discount dun sa bago. Ganito lagi ginagawa ko nung naka stock pa ako na size 14. Yung mga may mga bagong unit at atat papogiin yung auto nila halos pamigay na lang yung mga stock na gulong kadalasan Michellin pa. Nabibili ko sa shop nila ng 500-800 petot per piece.

Has anyone here tried using Kumho Portran K53 tires? Where are these tires made? Any review or initial impressions? I am contemplating on replacing my two front tires and I am being offered with the said tires. Also, how much do these tires cost for 185 R14C size? Thanks!

Korean brand ang Kumho. No idea where their factory is though.

Anyone tried NEXEN tires?

I was also offered this brand of tires when I inquired this afternoon in Binan. I am torn between Kumho and Nexen. Same were Korean branded tires but I was told that Kumhos were made in Vietnam and Nexens were from Korea. Price difference is 500 with the Kumho going for 3,600 each and the Nexen for 3,100. Any feedbacks from Nexen users?

Cannot comment on the Nexen.

I have Kumho Solus as factory tires in my Sorento and my experience with them is so far so good. No slippage even raining (very rarely it rains here) but very dependable when using on dry roads. Get them!
