    What are good, reasonably priced tires for an L-300 Service vehicle?

    The original Yokohamas lasted only 1 1/2 years due to heavy usage. Napodpud at nakalbo na kaagad. Need to replace all 4 already.

    I was looking at Apollos, Nangkangs, and Kumhos. Are chinese brands (West Lake, Sailun) any good?

    Any recommendations and experiences?

    How kms did it travel in 1 yr? We’re using Toyo tires on our L300. So far happy with the tire wear. Got it 3,500 each. Made in Japan siya last time i got a set.

    From March 2020 when we got this brand new up to today, 39,500km na ang odometer reading.

    Nagtanong ako sa malapit na tire shops dito at walang Toyo (gulong ha hindi sauce, herherher) available.

    Sa blumenttrit ako nakahanap Toyo before. I would avoid China made tires since price difference is not that much naman compared to Toyo. My thinking is, for delivery yung van so i also got better tires din. You lose money sa downtime

    Tama ka dyan. In our case, for the safety of the staff at driver din ito since naglalagare ito sa south at panay daan din sa mga expressways.

    Yung Nankang (made in Taiwan, not China) okay kaya? It is the most reasonably priced that I have canvassed so far.

    I have never tried Nankang sa van namin. Mga na try ko before, Goodyear, Dunlop, CS, Vee Rubber. Goodyear yung medyo ok, nasa 40,000km talaga thread life niya. The rest, either mabilis tumigas rubber, or nag oblong. So far sa Toyo ako naging satisfied with tires sa van namin.

    Might pull the plug on the Nankangs.

    Asked for a bit more details and it is NK Van CW-25, 102/100R, 8 ply, 0521.

    Checked the web for reviews and okay naman ang feedback - not excellent but not bad either. It is placed in the middle and good value for money.

    Bridgestone Duravis. I see this tires installed on a Hiace, they might offer sizes for the L300.

    the yokohamas lasted 39K km?
    isn't that par for the course for a commercial service vehicle?
    local pa. if the price is good, support the local tyre industry.

    I was hoping that it would last a little longer but yes, it appears par for the course for such tires and use

    Above brands are either not available in my area or too pricey.

    But they are also good choices. Will definitely put them in my list also.

    Also try to check on Westlake tires. WestLake Tires Philippines | SUV & Light Trucks

    They were good quality on a budget.

    2 Nankangs origins China & Taiwan. Opt for the latter.
    Surprised Deestones aren't mentioned... Bang4Buck! The rugged office pickup & our workhorse truck are on them & will definitely be sticking w/ those.

    Thanks for the info. Very helpful to L-300 owners here.

    Just to let all know, I got the Nankangs. With pito, camber, alignment, nitrogen air, and weights, it all came to Php14T. Equipment used to align was Hunter

    Will monitor its performance and post my obervations here.
