265x70xR16 on 4x2 Frontier?

**Lemon** · March 16th, 2007 11:05 AM

Im planning to upgrade to size 16s. Meron kasi ako nakita na Grandtrek AT2 na very hard to resist ang price.

Hindi kaya masyado mabigat ang 265x70xR16 para sa 4x2 Frontier? Kung meron sayad, Im cranking the torsion bars. Nakakabit ngayon ay 235x75xR15.

Any inputs?

Salamat!

I think malaki and mabigat...pang patrol na kasi ang size. 245 70 16 will be the best.

Pede, tried it, but you need to adjust the stopper sa front kasi sasayad sa loob.

Ang question ko ay BAKIT?!?

The 265 70 R16 is barely an inch taller than the 245 70 R16 (mas wider lang ito but not too tall)...halos 30 inch and outside diameter ng 265 70 R16 (dunlop na AT) yung bridgestone na 245 70 R16 is 29 inches plus ang outside diameter....I think your current 235 75 R15 is nearly 29 inches na din ang OD.

Ang pangit sa option na gusto mo sobra mahal ng R16 na mga gulong compared to the R15's....why not just go for a wider (245 perhaps) tire and maintain the 75 aspect ration and R15 for the rims.

The cheapest 265 70 R16 is P6000 plus (bridgestone and yokohama) tapos ang korny ng mga thread design nito kasi AT lang....walang MT. Whereas R15's have more design and options available at almost all brand have this.

Alam mo hirap akong ipasa sa 2nd hand tire buyers ang 265 70 R16 na pinaglumaan ko....hindi raw ito mabenta kasi.

Thanks Isuzoom & Wildthing.

Size 16 lang kasi available ang Rota Grid Offfroad kaya no choice, kailangan magpalit ng goma. Kaya benta ko na din ang tires/wheels set ko, baka meron interesado :

Sa Patrol mang-gagaling yun Grandtrek AT2. 80-85% pa daw thread, 5 pcs for 10k. OK ba yun price?

Wildthing, san ba yun stopper sa front?

**Isuzoom** · March 16th, 2007 11:53 AM

nasa side yan ng suspension arm. pero delikado baka mag siyete ang fron wheel pag mag over steering.

**wildthing** · March 16th, 2007 04:51 PM

mura nga sa 10K...halos 6.5K yata ang brand new niyan. Yung bolt na stopper ay nasa lower part suspension arm...it is a bolt na covered ng isang plastic na bolt cover.

Ito rin yung umiingay pag hindi na greased or kung wala na yung plastic na cover...if you turn the wheels to full turn, iyun ung unang tatama.

In my frontier na service inalis ko yun (kasi naliliitan ako sa turning radius)...hindi naman ako nagkaproblem....bagkus nag improve pa turn radius ko...although kumakaskas ang goma ko (minsan) sa rubber na splash cover sa engine.

Ano rim design ng current 15" mo na rim? Yun bang nasa itaas na image?!? How much are you selling them?

Mukhang kailangan ko nga tanggalin yun bolt stopper. Thanks sa input sir! Hindi ba naapektuhan ang acceleration when you changed to the bigger tires?

Ano rim design ng current 15" mo na rim? Yun bang nasa itaas na image?!? How much are you selling them?

Yes sir, yung pic above is the current 15" rim I have for sale. Wala pa ako idea kung magkano ko benta. I got it last year for 20K. 15x7 AMS BAJA polished alloy. PM mo ko sir for your offer.

Mas OK kung set na including the tires. Tires are 85-90% pa ang tread.

kung less than 2 inches ang increase the OD hindi obvious ang epekto sa speed...pero I did noticed that when I was using a 2.7S (na 195R14 ang gulong) eh ang bilis nito sa acceleration and top speed (170kph without hesitation)...whereas sa 2.7E (parang 235/70/R15 ang stock nito) mas mabagal ang arangkada and topspeed was 160kph....

no budget pa sir sa rims...just doing "window" shopping.
