Huwaw!!! Pirelli Tires! :D

How much did you get them? Does this have the H/T thread or the A/T thread?

Why did you opted for the 265? I thought you wanted wider ones for softer ride?

A/T thread sya. P5,400 each at Ben's OK

mas softer ba ang ride ng wider tires? damn, akala ko mas softer pag higher, kaya 265/75R16 kinuha ko, instead of 275/70R16.

Are there only 2 sizes for you to choose from?

Basically they are almost the same size. 265/75 with 5% more ratio sidewall is a bit taller by few millimeters only. The air pressure will be your guiding factor for smoother ride. Though the 32X11.5X16 is taller from the 2 sizes that you mentioned. :D

275/70R16 = 31.15inches
265/75R16 = 31.64inches

ang iniisip ko kasi mas malambot kung mas mataas yung rubber.

Half of an inch difference, how much air pressure was put in those tires? You would want to measure it now, since it's still new. Then drive it for a week to measure it up again. Makikita nyo po yung difference lalapad pa yung tires and sidewalls will also adjust.

I cannot attest that taller sidewalls will give you more comfortable ride. Since I haven't compared a small difference in sidewall ratios.

30psi front, 36 psi rear ang pinalagay ko na hangin.

pero pag uwi ko, after an hour, i checked the pressure. sa rear 36 and 40, front 32 and 32. kaya pala feeling ko parang mas matagtag. also, pag ba bago yung tires, mas matatag nga kaya? dahil matigas pa yung rubber? o hindi?

I assume the 40 psi rear is on the driver side?

Better air them at minimal, around 28 psi. Palambutin nyo po muna yung goma para mag flex lahat ng dapat. Lolobo pa yan after a few days.

**boybi** · January 29th, 2003 03:20 PM

yung manufacturer recommended air pressure is 29psi front and 36psi rear.

bababaan ko pa ba to 28psi sa lahat ng gulong?

**Ungas** · January 29th, 2003 03:27 PM

Yup! Allow those tire to flex while driving it around for a few days. Pag sinunod mo yung manufacturer warranty di pantay ang lobo ng gulong. Mas mabigat ang front kasi andito ang makina. Then load your Safari 1 sack of rice or anything heavy at the back while flexing those rubbers.
