Bridgestone M/T

[kimpOy]

review please

thanks in advance

[kimpOy]

here's the trade proposal

the mt's are brand new
stock mags 2nd hand (buffed)

vs

2 year old AR mags (with little rust)
7 months used yoko geo a/t 2 +
(with tire chips, "pingas" i got it when we trailed high peak and my front hub broke, so imagine my tires are spinning at those sharp rocks)
and some cash

[OTEP]

Ano hitsura ng mags? If they are like mine then go for it. hehehe.

I know how your tires look like. Palitan mo na nga.

[ARB]

i have a strada mags before iand liked it, it was light weight and it was made by Enkei, made in japan. check your mags if it is made by enkei also.

it looks better than the AR tailgunner.

the BS m/t is a nice tire not that noisy, it also has the looks. did you consider the new BFG m/t's the KM series with its side biters?

[mangyan]

Sa survey result ng tirerack.com, no. 1 ang Bridgestone MT 673 sa Offroad Maximum traction category. Basing from what I read from the surveys, it seems BS MT is a great tire. Moderate noise and superb traction offroad.
Sir Kimps, curious lang po ako sa opinion ninyo regarding Geolander A/T +2. After 7 months of use, ano po ang masasabi ninyo tungkol d2? Post naman kayo ng review.

whats that some cash? magkano?
may halaga din ang AR mo.

[kimpOy]

OTEP, katulad ng mags nung kay bogart yung pang strada talaga


ARB, ganyan ba yung tinutukoy mo? mas light nga iyan dahil alloy,
there's no BFG's on this side of the island

mangyan, Yokohama Geolandar AT2 + is the most aggressive AT tires or the most subtle mud tires, go figure, thread wear is fantastic parang brand new pa nga eh considering ang daming ko ng napuntahan with this tires, if not for the tire chipping im n ot considering changing this tires,super quiet on road, downside is the braking and mud trailing capabilities
Olive Drab, actually yung sa AR ako nag dadalawang isip eh, hmmmmm

[ARB]

yes thats the one. too bad maganda pa naman ang mga BFG's.

Sir Kimps:: thanks sa review. Actually, napalitan ko na ang stock tires (Dueler H/T) ko ng Geolandar A/T +2. Just want to be certain na hindi ako nagkamali sa choice ko. Nakita ko rin kac sa Princess tire supply ang BS M/T 673(forgot to ask the price), ganda at super macho ang dating. Kaso I was worrying about the noise kac palagi naman on road ang lakad ko kaya i chose geolandar. Anyway, quiet naman po ang geolandar kesa don sa Dueler H/T considering na street tires ang dueler.
Btw, nakuha ko an geolandar kay Tom ng Princess tire supply ng Php 4350 each. Trade-in price ng OEM tires ko ay Php 1500 each.

[kimpOy]

ok well ok naman ang noise (sabay review agad ng BS M/T 673) tolerable naman saka expected ko na, ang inaalala ko lang is thread wear sana hindi kasing bilis mapudpod gaya ng dunlops,
sa princess din ako kumuha ng Geo's 4350 nga each plus nung time ko christmas so may free t-shirt and unbrella

[mangyan]

Sir Kimps,

Wow, nakabili ka na pala ng BS M/T 673. Magkano mo nakuha? Sa Princess din ba?
In terms of look, alin mas maganda, Geo or BS M/T?

[kimpOy]

mangyan,
5k each, dito sa pampanga ko na kinuha kasi may terms ako dito, anwyays
sa looks mas aggressive ang MT's siyempre
got it tested already, sa muddy place dito
(sa may palawe, kuya olive drab)
meron siyang extra bite whereas sa
AT's nag floating na ang kicking from side to side

i tested it also sa NLEX
first at 40psi
noise is pretty minimum, parang naka AT's nga eh
at first it feel a little bit grainy
pero nawawala din
then at 30psi
with a 2 ply sidewall it's pretty comforatble
it absorbs pot holes, and the grip is excellent
noise? what noise,

one rant is the braking, you have to adjust your braking distance
but that's fine din atleast less chance of accident na rin.

from 4x4review.com
We’re not sure if it’s the Uni-T technology, the rubber compound or the alignment of the planets, but these tires are superb! Bridgestone/Firestone has done a wonderful job making a great multi-purpose tire that is street friendly. A definite buy for the daily driver that loves rock crawling, a little mudding and trail riding.

[Ungas]

Naks! Ang sweet mo naman kimpOy! :mrgreen:

Actually there are two groups that will be having offroad escapades this weekend. One group is led by wolpack with the LRCP group. Mr. P.G. texted me if I wanted to join, open to all interested daw itong lakad nila. Kaso may byahe yung Beast sa province, hihiramin ni erpats over the weekend. Napapansin ko lang, tuwing may bagong ayos ako sa Beast, hinihiram nya lagi at dadalhin for long drives... hmmm. :idea:
