    yun naka mags and 50 or below series...

    Nasubukan nyo na ba mag out of town with your aftermarket performance wheels and tires? like baguio or ilocos or la union?

    how was it? Any bad or horrifying experience?

    thanks

    I have gone to batangas (via tagaytay) with my car... I ride on 195/50/15 tires at that time. No problems. But you have to be aware of rocks and other stuff on the road all the way and back.

    Today its 195/55/15 simply to increase comfort.

    over-pressure would mean less traction in your tires and possibility of prematurely wearing out of your tires too.

    currently using 215 x 35 x18. Tagaytay/Batangas no problem. I use my stock mags and tires when I go up North because the roads are bad up there compared to the south.

    I used to have 205/45/16s.... I drove them for 2 years... Grabe ako amgdrive and whenever i get home i'd do a visual inspection of the outer rims. I say to myself..."grabe ang tibay naman ng rims ko" then when the time came to replace my kalbo tires and they pulled out my rims i saw 9 bengkongs all on the inside! 3 each infront and 2 each at the back! and prior to that day i came from sta rosa and hit a lubak pretty hard. i checked the rims as usual and had a big one on the outside. i thought it was the only one i had so i was gonna have it repaired same time i change my tires... but oh well i didn't know what i had coming LOL. i traded in the rims and got my self 195/55/15s now LMAO!

Sa mga naka mags & lowprofile
