Yokohama Go39

[Djerms]

Anybody here tried this tire? My stock bridgestone HT is almost worn out and i need a new set for my trooper. Stock size is 245/70/r16 but someone is offering me a 255/70/r16 of the yokohama tires.

Is this a good brand in general? Wala bang horror stories ang yoko? Yung stock bridgestone ht kasi served me well but based on the reviews, this tire suck especially on wet conditions.

I'm kinda decided na on getting HT's in the meantime kasi I'll be travelling major highways for a year and I think its more practical (Bicol - Manila).

Please enlightn me or if you have other brands in mind please share your eperiences.

By the way, the yokos are tagged at 4000.00 each, 255/70/r16.

OT. di mo na benta trooper?

[Djerms]

Hindi pa sure kung mananalo sa Altis eh. Bidding kasi. While I use the truck, mukhang delikado na kasi ang tires, baka hindi na safe. May project pa naman kami sa Bicol so I'll be travelling a lot.

Yokos are great tires in general. Good tire life, wet traction.
Is the Yoko G039 a HT tire?

[Djerms]

Jackaroo,
Yup its an HT tire. Wait i'll try to post a pic...

Size is 255/70/r16

I think Yokos are good tires. This is the stock of Toyota Innova.

[jackaroo]

G039 looks good. IMO, the 245/70R16 was small for the trooper, i found the odometer moved faster when compared to other cars, about a 3-4% diff. A larger tire will help correct this and give you better hiway mileage. A 255/70 is about 4% taller so just right for trooper's odo.

Almost all surplus or subic SUV's Uses Yokohama Geolander and i use one may crack na stock from japan pa kasi after 25t mileage bukol na pero this is not B-new
may crack na from japan.


If you want a verygood tires go BFGoodrich up to 75t mileage

Larshell,
Does the innova also use yoko?

Larshell,

Yes, Innova uses yoko aspec mas maliit lang nga he he he
But i used bigger yokahama on my old Pajero and my 2000 Trooper

[telulah]

how much are the yokos? quality is at par with the best except that they used to be cheaper, now their prices are close to bridgestone, good ride and quiet-

[Djerms]

Someone's offering the go39 to me at Php4,000.00. I think this is his last stock na kasi. By the way, comparing it with the stock tires of my trooper which is the Bridgestone dueler HT, it is given a much higher rate (based on tire rack survey).

[jackaroo]

larshell,
It would be difficult to gauge the tire's actual mileage on a used car from japan since they could have replaced the odometer. A safe guide is to base it on the tire's manufacturing date stamped on the tire sidewall, if more than 6 years old then time to replace.

[Djerms]

Thanks for the inputs. Is this an ok buy for 4k each? Same lang naman ang HT and AT in terms of tire's durability di ba? I mean they're both 70 series tires naman. The main difference lang would be the grip right?

[jackaroo]

Think HT would have better grip on paved roads. Check tread wear index on sidewall of Bstone vs Yoko- if about 300 or more then it's going to last as long. Price looks right too.

Sir, why not use Bridgestone Dueler AT D694 (Revo in the US). It has better reviews than HT tires . Tirerack review it at 9 out of 10. Road grip, ride quality, noise level is much better than highway tires. The tread is much better looking too.

Here is the Tirerack review for this tire:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ler+A%2FT+Revo

Compare it to the review of Yokohama G039:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....dar+H%2FT+G039

Here is the site for D694:
http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/...reads/d694.asp

By the way, this tire is readily available here in PH. Among highway tires the best right now according to Tirerack is: Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...y.jsp?type=HAS

If you don't like At tires, try the GoodYear Fortera. It has much better review (top 10) than Yoko G039 (28th). The price is comparable to Yokos also readily available here in PH.

horexen,
i'm also under a tight budget kasi eh that's why i'm looking for a good ht brand nalang. Ganda nga sana ng Bdgestone revo at, it can also give me a bit of a rugged look.

Sir, try niyo Goodyear Fortera around P4,000 plus din presyo niyan same size sa G039 mas mataas review niyan. Highway tire din yan. Site niya: http://www.goodyear.com.ph/catalog_p...ODNAME=Fortera

san meron nyan?

Whew! Finally I got new tires installed on my trooper. From 245 70 16 I upgraded to 265 70 16. Ilang gabi ko din pinag-isipan to, but I finally decided to get the Bridgestone AT Revo or the 694. No. 1 siya sa mga ATs based on Tire Rack reviews. Sana lang hindi ako magsisi kasi may kamahalan.
