New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

**RTS** · July 8th, 2009 10:25 AM

Hi,
My diesel experience rooted from my first pick up (Nissan) then followed by B2500 Mazda, then now the strada.
It is my practise that every time I filled up my tanks, top up level i mixed one ltr of kerosine for every 50 ltrs of Diesel, since strada has 70+ ltrs capacity I mixed about 1.3 ltrs of kerosine. I learned this from German Diesel Engr. For Gasoline engine I mixed 1 ltr of denatured alcohol for every full tank. I have,nt experienced adverse effect to my Diesel & gasoline engine ever since.

- what's the widest and tallest sets of MT tires that i can use for
15x10 or 16x8 inch rims?

AFAIK 16" tires cant be as wide as the 15 inchers

for 16", im thinking of getting a 285/75/16 set of tires
for 15", probably a 31x10x15 set of tires

for tires naman, im thinking of getting BFG's.
ok po ba ito or may ma recommend po kayo na better?

Looking forward in being a part if this club as soon as i get my unit hopefully in two days :D

thanks in advance and more power!

dfrost, i am glad that you are deciding in getting a strada!! hopefully it will push thru. Now regarding your queries on the tire and wheel upgrades, do keep in mind that by doing so, you will be voiding your vehicle warranty, specifically on the underchassis/suspension/steering side, sayang din kasi yung three years or 100K km warranty.

tire sizes i would say stick to up to 265/75r16, any bigger, you will rub against the chassis and wheel well, which will require that you make suspension changes if you want to avoid it

yes sir pwede po siya talaga you can even mix it with unleaded 50% like some of our friends kasi dito mura ang unleaded, but for the strada that mix is only good for the 2.5 for now maybe in some months pwede na din 3.2 hehehehehehehe.

According to the guy, it clean the system of unburn particles & improves combustion. Also several technical people agreed to this way.
