YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR AT 2

[lancelot]

Gurus,

Am planning to install yoko geolandar 2 to my ride... meron ba 275/75/16" Tama ba specs ko?" It is the stock for 2000 pajero...

I hope ma trade in ko yun luma kong dunlop grandtrek, used for 3 years na rin.

Sana pwede ko itrade in old tires...

TIPS naman kung saan shop and how much should I sell my old tires. Kung paso sa budget gayahin ko rin si pajero kid and palitan ko rin ng rallyart mags...

Thanks

sir, 275/70-16 yun sa akin. pero i doubt if youll get a high trade in value for your tires cos medyo may kalumaan na po. :D

Sir Pajero Kid,


In your opinion what is the standard price for my tires for trade in?

Thanks

[Ungas]

You may want to try your luck on the second hand tire traders in Dapitan and Blumentrit area. But like what pajerokid posted, you might not get the valued price for a 3 year old tire. My tires were 4 months old and they bartered for a measly price.

IMO, it would be much more aggressive look if you could opt for a 285/75R16 size tires. Same height as the 33 inch tire but has a 11.5 inch width.

Sir Ungas,


Kasya ba yun 285/75R17 sa pajero? Also meron din ba yokohama this size?

Gusto ko kasi tahimik during highways, yun dunlop medyo maingay kasi and medyo matalbog.

[Ungas]

lancelot::: 285/75R16 will fit any stock SUVs. If you want less noise and vibrations, why not choose an H/T tire? Yes, Yokohama brand does have this kind of tire size.

A 285/60R18 will fit in perfectly in your wheel well if you will use your vehicle for street and onroad use only.

lancelot:: sorry sir, i dont have a clue :mrgreen:

[boybi]

wala atang local na yokohama of size 275/70R16, 275/75R16, 285/75R16. wala kasi sa catalogue ng mga dealers pero sa website ng yokohama meron. yan kasi yung gusto kong ikabit dati.

[Ungas]

May nakita akong Yokohama Geolandar AT 285/75R16 dito sa isang tire dealer sa Dapitan area.

While the low profiled tires are also available.

Sir Ungas,


I used to have a yokohama geolandar AT dati pero iba car (96 pajero) I just bought a 2000 pajero na may nakakabit na dunlop grandtrek.

IMO, mas matagtag and mas maingay on some paved roads compared to the other car. Gulong ATA ito?

Sir, gusto ko rin kasi minsan mag 4x4 if time permits. kaya at:mrgreen:

If you say 285 mas wide ba ang tires? Thanks a lot

[Ungas]

Yup 285 is wider than the stock 265 tires. And much taller tire ratio of 75 than the 70 ratio on stocks.

You just have to compromise with stiffness and handling if you choose AT tires. I doubt that Grandtreks are the cause of it. Baka maatas yung tire pressure mo sa Dunlops compared to Yokohamas. Air them to 30psi at the same time and compare the road grip it has on paved roads. Dirt wise their just the same all terrain grip. Though Yokohamas have that aggressive look advantage in the thread design.

Lucky, you found a blister fender model that has 4WD! Does that sport the 4M40 engine?

[lancelot]

Sir Ungas,

Hirap nga maghanap ng blister fender na 4x4. Yes, it has the 4m40 engine. 32kms ang tinakbo.

Thanks for your tips.

Mukhang mas maganda nga yun 285/75 bec hinahanap ko nga taller tires medyo low profile yun dating ng 70 na geolandar. Sana mahanap ko sya.:lol::lol:

[Ungas]

Good luck on searching for your tires. :D

You may want to try to order those sizes from their distributor along West Ave. Q.C.

lancelot,
If the stock size of the pajero is 265/70R16 then a 285/75R16 may affect your final gear ratio, ie, slower acceleration but higher top speed. This will also throw off your speedo and odometer since total diameter difference is more than 2 inches.

A 275/70R16 is within acceptable specs since the diff is only less an inch.

My 2 and a half.
