2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Hello brothers.. just want to ask best replacement tires for the 2.0 215/45 r18 tires? Would like to get the same spec but wondering what brand to choose and where to buy(alabang/pasig area). I inquired sa bridgestone and good year but they don't carry the 215/45 18. If nadiscuss na ito before kindly point me where to read. Also is it okay to replace just one tire or best to replace by pair? Thanks for the help!

Check Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Pirelli PZero...these are among the best performance tires around....no hobo, sadly.....but if budget is a concern, there are decent premium wannabes out there that have proven to perform well.
GT, Accelera, Achilles are some Indo brands that have earned some trust....why? Indonesians tend to overload their vehicles, trucks & buses more than we do.
Among the Chinese, check this mining truck tire brand that Pirelli helped build....Aeolus.

Hello, ask ko lang kung may nabili na ba kayo replacement wiper blades (ung rubber lang).
Bumili ako dati nung OEM, eh mas gusto ko ibalik ung original na nakakabit sa M3 ko.

Normal ba na every year ako nagpapalit wiper?

Sir, i inquired about michelin, they offered the pilot sport 3 and primacy 3 st at same price. Which is better overall ? Leaning towards primary 3st because of comfort and quieter ride . Price is 9.5k/piece for both.

Depends on what you're looking for. PS3 is more for performance while Primacy is for comfort. Me? PS3.

Bosch brand 500 set. Kung magpalit ako every 3 yrs. Why do you need to replace your wiper blades?

Rain and sun? Meron naman clear coat...

Agree with sir StockEngine, meron naman clear coat kaya no cause for alarm for future owners.

Thats until you see the brand new unit being released to you already has lots of scratches from the dealer trying to remove stains and watermarks vs a unit that wasnt exposed to elements, wonder which unit you'll prefer

I change yearly also for cars i frequently use and park outside. Regardless if its bosch, nwb, denso(which is nwb also), parehas sila mabilis masira.

I used to buy blades only from concorde years ago(no idea if they still stock this), but the price was too close to a set with framing so started buying with frames.

Lahat naman ng nirerelease dumadaan sa cleaning process. Kahit nga hindi exposed, gamit naman nila eh abused microfiber. Same sh/t .You can always reject the purchase.

After purchase, you detail naman. If you detail.. there is always paint correction.

Appreciate the feedback sir! Got one dillema. I have 1 bnew dunlop sportmaxx (i got it last month) and now i realized have to replace all 3 as cracks are evident already. Is it wise to get two michellin pilot sport and 1dunlop to pair with the existing one? Or just get all dunlop? I wanted to try the michellin so im.contemplating but not sure if just getting two will make a difference.thanks! Any recommendation?

Having 2 different pairs of tires won't be ideal(I've done it for hobo reasons. You'll get different noise & grip levels. Whenever possible, it's best to get a new set of 4. In case you're just replacing 2 of the same type, follow this rule of thumb....

Thanks sir! In that case I might just get 4 set of tires and make the dunlop a reserve. I'm not planning to buy another 3 dunlop sportmaxx as they are expensive, more than the pilotsport of michellin actually. I was planning to buy the dunlop lm703 as a replacement.

Now im also considering getting an accelera as it's really cheap with good reviews..

Cool! How's the noise level and ride comfort?

They're decent in noise, comfort, grip & even treadwear. Many Mown3rs on 19s are on them.

Nice Travs, I'm on OVT tune 4 and the power is impressive . I highly recommend it . The thing that got me is that they specialize with Mazda so they know what your doing . Though you have to wait a bit as all tunes are done in the USA. Can't wait to add my CS srf with cooling box though (been in the sidelines for 4 months now 😢

As for the racing beat I'm interested but no money for it ,plus I have other things I wanna do first 😔
Saw an RB on a hatch 2.0 , sounds stock until you punch it hahahahahaha kaya ok hindi tunog siyento bente (sounds like e 100 but only going 20) 😆
