Anyone here on Rota KBF/KBR wheel? 18's or 19's. Or the new 360° flow forged rims of Rota. Care to share your experience?

Are the KBFs lighter than stock? Do they have 17s?

They're lighter than stock 18s. Not sure if available in 17s. The lighter Titan model should be.

Thanks bai! My tires will be 5 years old in a few months. Makapal pa at less than 40k mileage pero don't want to keep them beyond 5 years. Sabay ko na change rims and tires.

What happened to the Ring King's TE37s?

Don't want to compromise the ride too much hence the 17s. The wife wants 18s though. As long as they're lighter than stock. We'll see [emoji16]

If the tire is more than 6 years from its production date (code printed at the tire sidewall), regardless of mileage and thread thickness, it's best to have it replaced. Replacing it 5 years from the production date (not from the date the tire was purchased) is also good especially for a country with hot and humid climate.

What brand of tire are you planning to buy sir?

Lighter is key. Want reasonably priced grippy, low noise & comfy tires? Check Aeolus AU04. Many are happily on em.[emoji106]

If the price difference is not that painful I'm partial to Turanzas. They made my crappy old Lancer quieter than I believed possible. I'll put Aeolus on the shortlist

Try to consider Yoko Advan Fleva V701 (UHP tire) - 67db noise rating, 300 treadwear, traction AA, Temp A

There are a lot of good high performance tires out there. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is bang for buck. For those who want good proven performance w/o the Tier1 tire cost, look into the AU04. (UTOG 350 AA A)....Oh, not a vendor. Just sharing a worthy find.

If only the 19" Advan is locally available, I'll have this over the stock Turanza that I have.

I think I didn't search thoroughly but at least for our two local dealers here in Bulacan, it isn't available.

Anyways, our good member here gave me a gargantuan discount! And because of this, we found out that casa is really making a lot of money from unsuspecting customers.

By the way, I haven't used the tires as I wasn't expecting the insurance to cover it. That means I'll buy another pair next year so that I can replace all four tires.

And whoever is reading this, please don't bother to ask who the guy is. He specifically told me that he gave that special discount "exclusively for me". In other words, he wants to remain anonymous.

If you are reading this, thank you for the privilege.

That's the problem Sir, I don't feel anything wrong yet they are recommending for the Belt Assembly to be replaced.

I'm not an expert when it comes to the mechanical thing of cars, but I'm guessing that if something is wrong, I should be feeling something wrong [emoji28]

U won't feel anything with belts until its too late. Open ur hood, get a flashlight, check wear n tear on those rubber belt. If u don't know your way around, ask the casa to point it out. Saan yun tama ng belts.
