Mags/Tires issue

**rockers_kitoy** · March 3rd, 2008 05:56 PM

Big thanks to sir boyT for his PM reply.

I'm soliciting opinions to the group, I have a 17-inch mags which is intended for restoration (natanggal ang chrome due to slight dents). Before, it was used in my father-in-laws car, 215/40/17 and when I fitted sa Innova ko, damn! parang kotse, kaso pangit kasi dito ang mga concrete roads and so nagkaroon ng dents.

My next plans are:
1) mags restoration (remove the chrome, replace with flat black with chrome-like lip finish)
2) find the best tire specs (boyT recommends 215/55/17 Bridgestone)

KASO, dito sa Davao, walang available nito, so that means I have to seek my innova-colleagues opinions kung saan available and the best (cost-effective) for the mags restoration and tires specs and brand, meaning pupunta ako ng Manila...

thanks in advance! and more power to our group! :car:

ganyan din sa akin, me tama yung rear-right mags ko,sumabit sa gutter,

any set of tires will do ser wag lang dunlop... some may not agree with me pero ang sakin eh sa experience ko lang naman...

bukod sa matigas yung goma(hindi dahil sa hangin ah) eh mabilis pang mabuntis kahit konting lubak... at ang presyo ang mahal ahehehehe...

maporma ang dunlop ala akong masabi, me guard pa nga sa mags natin para hindi magasgas pag nagigilid sa bangketa... pero believe me, kahit konting lubak, sibak agad hahaha...

utol ko nakadalawang dunlop na nasira in a month... la loma baliuag viahe nya... meaning nag NLEX pa yun ah hahahaha...

Thanks for the

This is true for LM 701 model. Hindi ko lang sure sa LM 702. Eto daw kasi yung improved model nila dahil sumablay sila sa 701. May padating na atang 703.

sir try nyo bridgestone or yokohama ok din... Pero pinaka ok yung Continental(German made) maganda yung lapat nya sa kalsada...

yup madam liv kahit bago marupok talaga yan dunlop 701 nga ata yun...

LM701 was really a pain in *$$. LM702, in my experience, was a very good successor. Used different sizes (195/65r15, 225/50r17, 235/40r18), wala pa naman bukol. Anyhow, there is bridgestone, yokohama and michelin. At the moment, I think the Dunlops are the cheapest out there, but the sad part is, they're catching up with Bridgestone and Co. Tsk tsk!

215/55r17 is a good size for the Innova.
