Low budget yet good quality tires

[Lin Dan]

would you consider champiro?
nakakabit na yokohamas ko, e, when i found out the avail-ability and the price.
the champiros were cheaper by a big margin...
a tire store along evangelista.

Cheap, noisy and hard feel sa road.

[benchph1]

Using Champiro gtx pro now on my Honda City. 195/55/15..bought them at Jiga Tires at 3.1k each. Wheel weights & balancing are included.

My previous tires where Kumho Ecsta KU31. Loved those tires.

Dry & wet grip is a bit above average. Tire noise on highway speeds is acceptable.

Ok din ba ba bumili sa S&R? 185 / 65 / R15 yung ke Erti namen

Goodyear Dueler yung stock pero mukang wala nang ganon ngayon

Recently bought BlackLion BC86 tires for my Vitara 225/65/17... china made but marketed in the US and Canada by large discount tire chains... i think it was P14,500 for a set of 4 tires including mounting and balancing.... nice grip wet or dry, very sturdy looking sidewalls. Very happy with purchase and quality is very good.

Also tried Chengshan Sportcat 8-ply 195R15 for my van... very quiet and good looking thread design... paid P11,200 for a set of 4 tires including mounting and balancing. I find it of very good quality... upon research sa internet.... one of the top brands in china and also they have tie-up/joint venture with Cooper Tires (US).

Both BlackLion and Chengshan are DOT-approved and ISO certified tires so i use with confidence.

Budget/cheap tires yet very good quality for me (Value for money).

Research lang sa internet katapat if you are unfamiliar with a tire brand. You might be surprised as I am... maganda pala background and also the current market/s where the tires are accepted, used, and sold.

in truth, "i didn't notice". it would appear, the wigo masks these from the astute motorist's senses.
except the cheap part. i was happily shocked at the price.

Most mentioned products are good. However, a thing I can recommend regarding tires would be to visit your trusted auto shop / car shop regarding this matter as to which they can provide better products that's applicable to your specific cars as well as they are capable of doing the additional service to avoid hassle and additional costs. Hope this helps!

You might know this already but I'd only compare radial vs radial tires and bias vs bias tires. If you do a lot of highway you'll find that replacing your OEM Bridgestone radials with bias tires will get you a lot less mileage.

I've had Casumina radials and while he price is good, I've never had one that made it to the tread wear indicator. They all had cracks on the tread after 2 years. And this is a light to moderately loaded truck with relatively low mileage.

Sir, would you say it is still better to stick it out with Bridgestone R200? Bec GT and Casumina are half the price (around Php 6K/pc) of the Bridgestone (around Php 12K/pc) but as you say they do not last until the thread wear out.

Current Bridgestones now have almost reached 50K mileage. 4.5 yrs old. Only the rear set needs replacement (bec of heavier loads)

We also use Goodyear HMC 2020 it is a bias ply (I believe). It really wears out fast. I dont think it will even reach half of what Bridgestone can do. Php 7.8K/pc

Anyone with experience with LT (light truck) tires ie. Canter

size: 7.50 R15 12PR



OEM (and currently installed) is Bridgestone R200 but trying to find more affordable alternatives.

Tried GT (Gajjah Tunggal) before and very bad experience. So definitely no going back to that.

Considering Casumina (frm Vietnam)? Anyone with experience with this?

For our delivery trucks we use Ceat tires (India) not sure sa price pero definitely mura yun para makalusot sa purchasing pero we already upgraded to 7.50x15 14PR mabigat kasi ang load namin kaya hindi pwede sa amin ang 12PR, only our 2 new Canters are running on 12PR stock tires pa kasi. We have tried a lot of different tire brands for our Canters/NKRs yung Ceat lang ang madalang magkaroon ng issue ng sabog

nitto nt830 225 50 17 98y

excellent value after discounts 😅

semi quiet, made in japan. grips corners really well. havent lost traction like some tires.

Bro, since you have heavier loads I wouldn't recommend a cheaper tire. If the Bridgestones make it to TWI that means they are suitable for the job despite the load. 50TKm is pretty good already. Radials will always give you more mileage. This advantage is even greater when the unit is used in long haul trips. Bias tires overheat in these conditions and treadwear is accelerated as a result. If you want to try different radials I'd try Yokohamas. But I bet the Bridgestones will still outperform them.

The only time I would use bias tires is if:
1. The unit only does regional deliveries.
2. Overload is more than 20%
3. Unit is driven on bad roads or off road
4. No radial option

And even then I only use the more expensive ones (i.e. MRF). The Goodyears are still bias construction, that's why they don't last as long. Where are you located? The quote you got for the R200 is way too high.

kinda curious, what tire pressures for the r200? whats the load index? so many truck operators seem to operate at less than optimal tire pressures, high rolling resistance increased wear. kamot ulo... blame the product.

That's true bro. Kamote drivers are responsible for most failures. That's why tire companies are quick to blame them first

But still we can only measure tire performance with the presumption of due diligence.

Bridgestone R200
Front 58 psi
Rear 94 psi

"cold"

as per sticker on the chassis.

is that with maximum payload?

Sharing this guide to convert tread in millimeters to qualitative/percentage descriptions:



Lagi kasi ako nakakakita ng for sale na tires lagi nalang 80% tread pa daw pero 3mm nalang natitira. 80% worn na pala. [emoji23]

Actually, the bridgestone quote is from tirecenter.ph

Anyway I dont know why but the other day the canter experienced a blow out. Front tire this time (we experienced a rear tire blow out with another canter). I always tell the drivers not to underinflate (causes excess heat hence blowout). I checked last week and it was overinflated by 10 psi (so I just left it alone) . Is it possible an verloaded the cargo (2400Kg) [Payload is less than 2200 (2185kg?)] can cause the tire to blow? If its overloaded , the rear should have blown (bec heavier load and thinner remaining thread)

I've just replaced my front tires with Nankang Surpax SP5 235/65/R17 from my suki for 5200/pc. I was impressed by the 108V load/speed rating which was an improvement from the 104T Westlakes it replaced. Unidirectional tread pattern also looked pretty good. After a couple of days, I can say that it has excellent grip. No squealing even with sudden jabs on the throttle. Though it seems to be a bit noisier than the old Westlake.

Sir saan ka nakabili ng Nankang Surpax SP5? Salamat sir.
