Good Year Fortera Max Load

**Kikomann** · December 14th, 2007 10:18 AM

[SIZE=3]Help naman po. Umorder kasi ako ng mga 50 boxes na laminated floors (about 15 kg/ box) dito sa Home Depot Pasig. They are supposed to be delivered to Tarlac for installation pero in encourage ako na i pick up ko na lang daw kasi pag delivery they will charge me additional P9,000 sa trucking. Sabi nila, kakayanin iyon ng van ko, starex 2005 model. Totoo ngang kakasya siya sa van, kaya lang, ang tanong, kakayanin kaya ng gulong ko yong load? Ang mga gulong ko ngayon ay Good Year Fortera 205/R15 about 1 year old pa lang sila. May nakakaalam po ba sa inyo kung ano ang maximum load ng mga gulong na ito.[/SIZE]

kaya siguro pero wag lang bilis takbo..inflate tires to higher PSI

patay nga lang fuel consumption mo nyan bro . . . pero it would be cheaper than paying the P9k nila

welcome to tsikot, thought nabuhay si kikkoman hehe

btw 15 kilos/box (50pcs) = 750kilos or 1650 lbs
it's just the same as loading 10 people incl driver at 165lbs*

kaya yan

Thanks fo sa mga reply. Hindi ko pala nabanggit May isa akong pasahero at may dala siyang about 100kg na additional baggage. Kaya pa rin kaya?

Para sigurado at safe mag dalawang biyahe ka na lang. medyo magastos sa gas pero magaang sa makina at sa gulong. kahit konting overweight sa highspeed pwedeng mag ply separation ang gulong at baka sumabog pa. mga 3,500 pataas ang gulong na ganyang size. additional 1,000-1,500 lang sa gas kung doble biyahe. importante rin ang tamang tire pressure at tamang bilis.

Kaya pa rin. since kaw ang owner/driver, pag di maganda daan doble dahan para di kawawa suspension bago pa naman yan. baka umingay or lumangit-ngit after…..

IMO pa deliver mo na lang or baka may ma rent kang delivery service na lesser than 9K.

Isn't it stated on the tires themselves? Look at the sidewall, there are markings that should indicate the max load per tire. Multiply that by 4 and see if it's well within the weight of the combined load (vehicle + cargo).

The law requires tire manufacturers to state the maximum weight that the tire can carry. So if you have two tires on an axle (left and right) then you add their load ratings.

Also check the maximum allowable payload for your vehicle.

Without the Starex manual on hand, I'd say its possible to transport the goods you are considering [it was designed to carry nine passengers plus their luggage]. Just try to center them over the rear axle for good weight distribution.

Stack the load as low as possible to keep your center of gravity low.
