    Hi

    Just want to ask your opinions on these 3 brands. Any actual experiences?
    I know GT is a good brand.

    How about Achilles or Delium?

    All these are Indonesian tires based from research but I rarely see reviews for them.

    Looking to replace Stock Tires from 205 70 R15 to 215 70 R15 or 225 70 R15

    Thanks in advance

    Have tried Achilles 2233 - they lasted long as road tires considering I drive long distances with lots of corners and poorly-paved roads. I got 42,000 km before I replaced my set.

    If you're not picky, these are good enough for daily drives. I got them for 3.3k per piece (225/40R18 size).

    You can add neuton in the indon tire mix that you listed down. It's slightly more expensive than the achilles but a few hundred pesos cheaper than the GTs. I've been using a set for more than 2 years now.

    The nt5000s i've got are grippy and the road noise they produce are several decibels lower than the stock bridgestone turanzas the car came with ( and its subsequent same brand, same type replacements). So far i'm a happy camper

    Have used GT radial 31x10.5r15 on my pajero. Got it at 6k each.. I installed last
    August 2011 and I already run around 70000kms on set of four. Still got 20%
    threadlife as of today.. Im still using it till now. No any signs of cracks and have not experienced any flats or side bukol. A really bang for the buck,

    On the other hand, I had delium tires 235/70r15 on my crosswind. I would say they are hard rubber but offers less grip. Everytime I do hard breaking, I always hears skid screeches especially vehicle is not loaded. Dangerous imho.

    I cannot say about achilles, no experince on this brand.

    Just bought 4 pcs Achilles tires.(122 model no.)R14. Cost 1500/pc. Very good tires. Low noise and good grip when climbing up here in Sumulong hi-way Antipolo city. I will give other feedbacks after 2 months

    GT is made in Indonesia. Same with Neuton, Achilles, and Accelera.

    Afaik GT also has plants in China. Depends on the model I guess. We've had GT truck tires from both Indonesia and China.

    Recently got a pair of Achilles Multivan tires. P 3.9K per piece in Pampanga (225/70R15 for the Hiace Grandia). Let's see how they hold up.

    Kahit saan lupalop ng mundo ginawa ang gulong, always think of your safety then check the reviews then the price. Not the other way around. Pag nag hahanap ka ng pang palit na gulong, you should ask your self which of the tire manufacturer invested and made some extensive test in R&D? Meron kasi mga cheap brand na copy paste lang walang R&D, quality control or even certifications. Also kahit na sa web site ng isang tire manufacturer ma assess mo na if ok ba yan, that is if meron web site. There is a reason why a product is cheap/expensive. I'm not saying na you should buy the the most expensive tire you can find, just think that being too stingy does not always mean wise.
    As for me, I won't risk my safety and the folks inside my vehicle para lang maka tipid. At least mid level tire prices.
