New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[nismo26]

* sirs nismo, loco & av8r5,

Yup, slowed down na lang. Even the highest speed for the wiper wasnt enough, a lot could happen during the time the windshield is covered with water.

basta heavy rain 80kph na lang ako, just to be safe

* sirs nismo, loco & av8r5,

Yup, slowed down na lang. Even the highest speed for the wiper wasnt enough, a lot could happen during the time the windshield is covered with water.

Yup, was at the EB with the Mazda Group but only for a short while...White strada, with black flares and yes, ralliart rims with Geolander HT. But there was a silver strada with ralliart rims that day too.

The tires or rims do not rub against any part of the body or chassis, due to the offset of the 8" wide rims. This also results in the wheel not centered to the mud flaps...and kulang din yun width nung stock mud flaps sa 275s. Dapat na nga siguro kumuha nung Ralliart Mud Flaps from Sir Dadz.

I do feel a slight difference when in motion, apparently due to heavier and wider rim/tires = more rubber contact and more effort for the engine. However, I am still happy with the way my truck ran. Was comfortable doing 120-140 at SCTEX, at 120kph the engine rpm was at 2400-2500.

OT: apologies could not make it to metrowalk tonight...just sneaked this in, still in the office.

ah I see sir...

I got jumbled up pala hehehe...

tama nga siguro sir na kumuha narin tayu ng mud flaps, kasi even with my 265 A/T's issue din yung water splashing sana ma prevent yun pag nakakuha tayu ng mud flaps...

...ditto. and it looked nice on your truck, too!

i agree to that!

[stubby]

sir, boy25 has those rims, but he hardly logs in tsikot, but active member. Stay tune na lang sir. 9" width 285/50/20 tires

salamat sa info sir av8or5! could you recall if the rims pop out from the fender flairs? +20 daw kasi offset ng rims. ayoko sana kasi yung lumalabas sa flairs. one more thing sir, could you recall if his 285 tires appear "concave-looking" relative to the rims? sinaggest kasi sa akin 265 lang.

salamat sa pagsagot sa post ko sir! if possible baka pwede mo ako tulungan ma-contact si sir boy25 para i can go straight to him for my queries...para di na kita maabala. thought of sending him a pm kaso di pala active on-line

more power to the strada club!

hello mga stradings owner, lalo na here in baguio. any updates sa mga strading? ask ko pala mukhang cheapest pa rin ba yung mickey thompson na A/T tires compare sa iba for the R17 tires. atska ask ko lang san ba makakabili ng center cap ng rims, kc natanggal ung isang center cap ko, lagi namang wala sa mitsu parts sa naguilian.

Sir, I hope these pics help. These were taken during our Baguio funrun...

... and I also want to ask sir...

How does the 275's perform? wala po bang naging rubbing? and may napansin po ba kayung changes with the engines performance?
is that AT or MT?...

I'm using Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275s on stock 2007 GLS Sports rims. No rubbing issues. Still quiet on highways, and no change in fuel consumption. I already logged 10,000kms on them.

hi Sir! as far as mickey thompson is concerned, lets wait for what Sirs ThePatriarch and G01 have to since they both have R17 A/T tires. Yup, the parts center in Naguilian Road are more stuffed with engine and collision parts for other Mitsubishi cars- mas lalo na sa Motorplaza. You might be better off in getting that to manila... Sir G01 might know someone at Jeff's off road shop but i think they speciallize more on the NITTO brand.

you can PM me or Sir G01 if you wish to meet up.

Welcome to the City of Pines!

Doc Boz, those pictures bring back memories... haaaay! 5 months to go...

Thanks sir for the info. maybe the Nitto brand may perform better, but how much will it cost? maybe someday we can meet up. baka nga nagkakasalubong salubong lang tau dito. malapit lapit na rin maubos ung tires ko eh, gusto ko na talagang magpalit. ang nipis kc ng stock, ramdam ang bato sa rough road.

nice pics nga, san po yang lugar na yan?

thanks for the info. sorry for the double post. maybe we can meet up someday. How much kaya ang Nitto brand. mas ok cguro performance nyan. well anything basta mas makapal na sa stocks and A/T tires na.

i concur brother dont... we surely hope you can join us this time....

i can see that this will become an annual affair where our baguio based BOSBs will be the host and organizer... ok ba yan?

yes sir. the guys here are up to it. maybe a baguio-sagada, sagada-bontoc, bontoc-banawe trip will do. bontoc-banawe, which is phase 2 of the halsema concreting project is still under construction but i'm pretty sure the bumps and roller coaster ride will only add up to the excitement of driving a triton....

^^^ thanks for the heads up sir Kraig_Ethan! Your off-road adventures stories with Sir Cabu as well as Sir G01's have always been exciting!

Yessir! this is ABSOLUTELY something to look forward to...
