sir sa 16x6 rims, hanggang 245/70 tires ang puede mo ilagay for safety reasons... but kung 16x7 or 17x7 ang rims, 265/70 will be just fine.

one last thing, can we merge this thread to the New Strada Thread? mas madami gurus dun to answer your question...

hope to see your strada soon... post mo pics once you get it from the casa... drive inspired!

sure sir...ano po ba ang stock rim width ng 2008 GLX strada? may nakita po kasi ako sa citimotors, naka 265/70 pero looks 245/70 lang din...kapag pinalitan ko ba yung stock tire ng GLX model to 265/70, makikita ko talaga yung difference? or mas ok kung 7" width talaga?

thanks

stock rims ng 2008 GLX is still 16x6... kapag inilagay mo 265/70 sa 16x6 rims, ang laki ng 'bilbil', delikado sa cornering and high speeds... in my case, glx din ride ko but i upgraded my rims sa 17x7 (stock ng 2008 gls sport) then nilagyan ko ng mas malapad na tires. here is the pic :

Nice!!! How much are the tires? I am planning to upgrade my tires soon. Good thing Mickey Thompson has an A/T for the 17" rim. Do you know if M/T is also available for the 17" and how much?

meron MT for 17" bro... 265/70/R17 and 286/70/R17 here is the link: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/t...=BajaMTZRadial

yung kay docglen, 285 yata pero tinanggal nya yung mudguard kasi tumatama kapag todo kabig... yung 265, swak na swak sa atin

nakuha ko yung sa akin PhP9,500.00 per tire sa Auto Options here in Timog Avenue, sila daw ang exclusive distributor ng Mickey Thompson here in the Philippines. sa mga strada club members, ako, si docglenn and bobcas ang alam nila na kumuha sa kanila coz may mga pictures sila everytime they install their product. Baka maabutan mo pa si Nancy Castiglione, naka-strada din daw, paki-recruit na rin, hehehe

thanks po

Thank you, sir ThePatriarch, for the link and the name and address of the dealer. Too wide nga yung 285. I agree na swak yung 265/70 para hindi na kailangan ng modification sa suspension.

Unahin ko muna yung roll bar and utility box then ipon ulit para sa Mickey Thompson tires hehe.

sa mags, i bought eslonblue's stock 17x7 rims... here is a tip... join ka sa strada club then intay ka sa mga naka-gls sports na mag-upgrade ng mags nila then bilhin mo na lang yung luma nila, hehehe... para makamura!

size ng wheels ko 265/70/R17, wag ka sa casa bumili, mapapamahal ka. I bought my tires directly sa dealer mismo para sigurado ako sa quality.
