    About tyres...

    Palagi kong napapanood/napapansin sa car reviews na "road noise probably due to econo tyres"

    If bibili ako ng bagong tyres for my car, paano ko malalaman na "econo" yung binibili ko?

    Don’t worry too much about it. There are good tires at a decent & affordable price. In fact, there are more expensive sport tires that are noisy too.

    If you want decent tires on a budget, check out any of the Indonesian brands - GT, Achilles, Accelera, Neuton.

    Econo-tires are tires designed for long mileage so they typically have harder rubber that wears down more slowly.

    Goodyear Duraplus, Michelin Energy XM2+, Dunlop Enasave - the name typicay hints at economy rather than grip or handling.

    I've written about this extensively here:

    Just to add, a good place to start is the tread pattern. If it is advertised as a quiet or touring tire, it will most likely be quieter. Touring tires usually start from rim sizes 15 and up.

    Econo? I dont think tyre manufacturers used this phrase. They used "eco" or maybe economical? Im not sure.

    "Budget tires" is more of a generalizarion that they are more affordable.

    Older small cars had alot of road noise because lesser insulation in the wheel wells.

    Low rolling resistance tires with low tyre pressures will be noisy.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. Almost same level of performance as Michelin PS4 - i.e phenomenal grip, best-in-class rain performance, good wear, and low road noise.

    If you go for the cheaper variants like a Triplemax Assurance or Duraplus, but you'll have far less dry grip for sure, but typically better wear (maybe about 5-10k km longer).

    Be cautious, and increase your tyres` lifetime with the programme of Tyre Awareness! Never miss a tire pressure check and get a convenient way to save on tire replacements with a Priority Tire coupons code. By observing all traffic rule and regulations possible you also get more of the reward in the form of tire giants' discounts.

    Did you know that car tires usually wear out in about three to four years? By the time they hit five or six years, you should get them checked every year. And once they reach ten years old, it's time for new ones, no matter what.

    Since tires wear down over time, regular check-ups are super important to avoid big problems. So, every driver should know the common signs that their tires might need replacing.

    Signs you should be looking are:
    1. Bulges or blisters on the surface of the tire
    2. Tread wear indicator bars are the same height as the tread
    3. Air leaks
    4. TPMS warnings
    5. Car shakes while driving
    6. Your tires are more than three years old
    7. Changing weather conditions

    I learned more about the signs that you should replace your tires ASAP on an article by Triangle Tires.
