    Mga tsikoteer, ano ba maganda brand ng tyres because I will change the whole set on my Adventure. The size of my tyre is 215/70 R15. Siguro 80% on the road and 20% occasional off-road driving...

    In my personal experience, Dunlop LeMans RV501 is good. Many would also recommend the Michelin Vanpix. Do have a look at them and at their prices.

    San ba pwede magtingin/bumili ng Dunlop RV-501 Tyres at Michelin Vanpix Tyres? Madalas ko makita is Goodyear servitek.

    Ano ba mas maganda yung Dunlop EC201 or Dunlop RV-501? Why?

    Ano ba mas maganda yung Michelin LTX A/T or Michelin Vanpix? Why?

    You can try inquiring at Freddie's Tire Supply. Search the 'Starex' thread for other sources c/o other posters.

    Ano ba mas maganda yung Dunlop EC201 or Dunlop RV-501? Why?
    Personally, I haven't tried the EC201 yet. But as per a friend who's using it right now on his Revo, maganda ang kapit. At hindi problema ang magkarga ng bigas. We've used 5 sets of the RV501 already - on 3 Starexes and 1 Carnival - and they're good in terms of ride, grip and durability.

    Ano ba mas maganda yung Michelin LTX A/T or Michelin Vanpix? Why?
    I think Otep has answered this question in the 'Starex' thread. To sum it up, the Vanpix is an on-road tire for light trucks and vans. It will get you thru your usual short un-paved roads, but it's better for on-road applications. The LTX is an All-Terrain tire. If your route consists mainly of unpaved roads, this would be better. But if they're just a portion of your trip, the LTX will provide less on-road grip and more noise.

    If the application is a passenger van, I'd go with the RV501, based on experience, or the Vanpix, based on the recommendations of other Tsikoteers.
