    Yokohama is most likely the sturdiest. Even the tire sellers swear by it. The fronts in our Revo are Yokohama 8PRs. When I had the alignment done at Tireboy (tires not bought there) the mechanic said it was a much sturdier tire than their Falkens.

    The rears on our Revo are Gajah Tunggals. They're quiet and comfortable. Long lasting too. Ours have ran over 40tkms already, though they're always at the rear. Sidewalls are on the soft side though. They are often unrepairable when punctured at more vulnerable angles.

    Choosing between Toyo and Kumho. Will be getting the tyres from S&R. Ok na rin dahil libre lahat including weights, tire valve and nitrogen. Di naman nagkakalayo ang presyo sa labas.

    mga master kung pagpipilian sa low budget yet good quality tires, alin sa palagay ninyo ang pinaka ok sa tatlo: Forceum trideka, Gajah Tungal champiro eco, yokohama blue earth. in terms of grip sa wet and dry tsaka hindi maingay. am deciding kasi which among three is the best sa low budget but quality naman, salamat.

    up ko lang mga master,

    up ko lang mga master,
    kung may budget naman bro na mag Yokohama, Yokohama na ang piliin.

    experience ko sa GT champiro Eco (stock tires ng Wigo), medyo maingay siya sa highway. lalo na above 60kph.

    pinaka tahimik na nagamit ko Neuton NT5000. pinaka sulit naman para sakin Achilles 2233 o ATR Sport 2. tahimik at makapit sila.

    Which models? If you're considering the Toyo DRBs, go for those.

    At 13,000kms, I'm still happy with my Achilles Desert Hawks on the pickup. So far wet traction is there, and road noise is still within standard levels (nothing out of the ordinary). The only problem i have now is the itch to upsize to 275/55R20s (from 265/50R20s).

    Will be buying tires for our Avanza. Set of 4. After 10 years mapapalitan narin yung dunlop. hehe

    Westlake 185/70 14"

    Ang quote sakin is 1900 per tire. free mounting and balancing na.

    anyone here has tried the neuton tires for their suv? i think there's 2 variants in the market and they're called the kruzlander h/t or the ns 1000

    btw, what's the difference between the a/t (all terrain) and h/t (highway/terrain) ?

    Isn't this dangerous? Keeping tires for 10 years. Tires are only good for 6 years. Used or unused, they need to be replaced after 6 years.

    It's good though that you did not encounter some sort of mishap. Just to be on the safe side, keep your tires in top form always. It's the part which makes your vehicle move on the road.

    Kaya sabi ko wag ihahataw. sabagay bahay-sabungan lang naman lakad nung kotse lagi. Nakumbinse ko lang erpats ko palitan. Naramdaman nya kasi nag slide na sa rampa ng parking namin. 40k lang kasi mileage ng kotse.

    sa estimate ko, kasing bilis nito makakalbo yung yokohama R1 AR01 na pinalitan nya.
    Naka-A.Drive R1 ka pala bro, what's your feedback on it?

    Grip? Road noise? Comfort? Durability?

    Btw, what made you switch from good Jap tires to no-name China tires?

    My current tires with 25,000KM in them might need replacing, although visually maganda pa threads nya. Dumudulas kasi ako sa mga steep parking ramps sa mga condo pag BASA yung ramp. Although kaya naman akyatin kaso bubuwelo talaga ako at kahit may bwelo ramdam ko nadulas talaga yung gulong.

    I'm looking at GT CHAMPIRO ECO and Westlake SP06 since napaka tight ng budget ko. Ilalagay ko sa likod.

    Thing is, I would only be replacing two of my tires since yung likod ko SOBRANG maganda pa. Hindi ata nirotate ng casa ko nung 10,000km pms ko. Thing is: Goodyear yung dalawang yun.

    Sobrang layo na kasi ng harap sa likod kaya pag nirotate yun hula ko iba na magiging handling.

    Same size naman.

    PS: I read this and others like it. Tire Tech Information - Mixing Tires Pero ano personal experience nyo?
    Have you purchased new tires already? Cheapest tires I'd recommend would be the Achilles 2233. It lasted 42,000 km (with a bit more left before the tread indicator) including a track day and lots of spirited driving through mountain roads.

    Never had any problems with traction - it was good enough to make me win a time attack event against other people with track tires. I bought them for 3.3k (225/40R18). Should be much cheaper for your size.

    If you're going for GT, I'd recommend the Champiro HPY, which are their high performance tires. Eco tires have generally crappy traction.

    I don't see the point of getting China tires like Westlake when Achilles (Indonesian brand) costs about the same. GT is an even more established Indonesian brand though it's slightly more expensive. Same with Federal which is Taiwanese.

    Bottomline - GT, Federal, and Achilles are the only affordable brands which I think are worth considering. Tires are one of the most important parts of your car and play a really big part in your safety, so I don't think you should skimp on them.

    yeah bro, though the yokos were * 70% treadlife when i got it
    immediately went down to almost 50% after less than 10k KM. ^_^ (i guess tama lang noh?)

    wala ako reklamo sa road noise, and comfort ng yoko bro; pero baka narin kasi galing ako sa duraplus na medyo maingay and not so good grip (wet or dry). malayo ang grip ng yoko vs. the duraplus.

    RE: roadshine
    nagpalit kasi ako mags bro
    tsaka may nag post kasi dito sa tsikot na OK yung roadshine (i was on a budget din). ang ginawa ko, punta ako yokohama dealer, inspected the tire in detail (material, feel of sturdiness especially sidewall etc) kasi yung yoko quality ang gusto ko maging benchmark din; decided to get the roadshine as my pansamantagal tire ^_^
    so far ..

    How did you measure 70% and 50%? Tire tread wear usually isn't linear, baka when you got the tire paubos na talaga. You should change tires when the tread is level with the indicator:



    These are my tires right now, mukha pang okay but it's already at the treadwear indicator, so I have to replace them already:



    Sidewall durability isn't something you can measure by feel. Yung iba naman basta same tread design ok na, but even then, ibang iba ang performance ng trusted brands. Anyway, nandiyan na yan, hopefully it lasts and gives good performance. [emoji1303]

    Magkano ba per piece yang Roadshine and what size?

    Yokohama BluEarth definitely, if it fits your budget. [emoji1303]

    GT Champiro Eco is the OEM tire of the Wigo, it's an entry level tire so not much to expect, but being GT I'd prefer it over any Chinese brand. Same level as the Yokohama Aspec dB (OEM tire of the Vios).

    The BluEarth is a tier higher. The BluEarth AE01 is the successor of the old Yokohama A.Drive. The BluEarth Ace AE50 is even more high-end, succeeding the C.Drive 2.
