We can ask around. So, what is the exact brand and model are you looking for? Are you replacing all four tires?

Speed rating is not that important unless you drive your car to the limit most of the time.

If you're using touring tires, then it would be best to stick to that type of tires than putting sport tires on the front and touring tires on the rear.

I see. it's more important to consider the type over the speed rating..

Ok, so it's alright to buy the same brand and type with difference in their speed rating..

Thanks! I'm learning a lot.

My M3's odometer reading will be at 10,000 km in a few weeks (current reading is 9200+). This will be its 2nd PMS which will be 2 mos earlier from the planned 12 mos PMS. The first PMS was done at the 1st 6 mos (odometer was around 4000km).

Now I'm wondering which PMS will be applicable. Will it be same for the 1st 6 mos PMS which covers engine oil and filter change? Or would it be the same for the 12mos PMS which will include cabin and air filter in addition to the engine oil and filter change?

I read from the M3 maintenance guide that the fuel deposit cleaner is used for every 10,000km. Will this be included in the Yojin free PMS?

You're on 12th mo/20k yojin which should include intake & cabin filters. Your call whether to install or store. Deposit cleaner will be out of pocket, sir.

I was told that my PMS will follow the 12th mo schedule which means that I will have to wait for December. PMS will not be done on the 10,000km since it was already covered in the 1st 6th mos PMS last June (at that time the odometer was less than 4,000km).

Btw, anyone here who bought their Mazda car last year already got their plate number? I'm wondering if the casa will be the one to follow up or get the plate number from the LTO office.

LTO's website has a search feature for that sir. just input your mv file number. as for me, bought mine may '18, still no plate available

My tire got punctured by a small nail. Had it patched. The tire is at the front driver side. My questions are:
1. Should I move the tire at the back?
2. How's the integrity of that tire now?
3. Is it still safe to drive at high speed? Say 120-140kph..
4. What is the number to be dialed on the torque wrench for our M3 1.5v?

Thanks.

1. Not necessary. It should work just fine. (rotate your tires after 10k kms or so, of course)

2. It's still good to go.

3. Yes. (but isn't that speed illegal on the road?)

4. Check your owner's manual for the torque specifications

Punctures are normal in the course of driving.

Yikes! 60km?!... I already felt so bad when I had to do the same.. I traveled less than 3km at max 15 kph.. Haha

What brand do you have now?

Wait, is he selling tires?

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Just a clarification, I made a mistake about 60 km. That is the approximate total distance travelled with the donut tire. I traveled for about 25 km with the donut tire in front then at the rear for the rest until I reached Pampanga. As I've said before, I asked my kids to exchange the tires so that they may learn how to do it.

Going back with your tires, my friend doesn't have the exact model that you have.

The stock 16 & 18 tires came w/ the cars from Jp. The exact same models can be a challenge to source locally but the dealerships carry em....expect no hobo. I suggest to search the USED market for better deals. Many have swapped their 16s for 18s & 19s.

How small is small, hindi naman bandang sidewall? Then patch ginawa? Hindi heat or pasak? If ok lahat yan, I wouldn't worry about it.

The proper way is to use mushroom plugs. Common method is to patch on the inside. While this method reseals the innerliner, it does not fill the path of the puncture. This allows moisture to reach the steel belts and/or the casing cords causing them to rust or deteriorate.
Plugging from the outside w/o tire removal is fine as temporary fix. From experience, they leak over time.
A good tire shop should have the proper mushrooms.[emoji4]

Our friendly neighborhood vulcanizer only offers the inner patch, tusok, and the good old-fashioned init method. Next time I get punctured I'll ask the bigger shops if they have that mushroom plug.

The tire shop along West ave QC (the shop has a big signage Yokohama) used the cold patch for the rear R18 tire wheel that got punctured by a screw. It was difficult to find a shop that has the right tools for dismantling the R18 tire.

Any recommendations for good tire shops?

Proper tools most tire shops should have, it's skill & experience that could be lacking.

You have to shop around. My friend with the 18" TE37s had to go to multiple shops before committing. He was looking for a tire changer that can handle 18s easily but should have a roller so it won't scratch the rim's edges. Guess he found what he was looking for at Servitech Kapitolyo.

I was a bit fortunate that the repair guy was able to fix the tire without damaging the rim. I watched how it was done. Installing the tire back was more tedious than removing it. The thin side walls made it difficult to put back the tire.

One of the repair guy told me that other shops would actually deny repairing such tire because of the difficulty and risk of damage.

I agree. I'm planning to drive around QC to look for quality tire shops so I know which shop to go to when the unexpected happens again.

I witnessed one shop struggling to install a tire that was beyond their tire changer's capacity. Wasn't pretty to say the least. I gave them a wide berth. Stretched steel belts on unstable platforms are never good news.

I haven't had issues so far with my 16s. Could it be that most common tire changers max out at 17?
