4x2 pick-ups with M/T tires

[quiksie]

hindi nga? ano ba makakasama sa ride pag nagpabodylift ako? Nagdadalawang isip tuloy ako. Gusto ko kasi mataas ang height ko when driving

[Ungas]

Di naman ganun kasama, but there are complicating parts involved, like shifter rebending, streering wheel shaft extension pag kinulang. Brake line re-adjustments/re-lining. Radiator re-mounting, and cables that goes with it. Mas mura ang body lifts but there are more parts involoved in modifying.

Anything that you modify to your custom needs will affect your ride's resale value, drive and handling characteristics.

kailangan ko na yata magpunta sa filmars kung ano ang kailangan gawin at kung magkano papaestimate na ako. Pag madami kailangan gawin hindi na ako papabodylift baka sayang lang. Baka palit gulong and torsion adjust nalang ako

hi

for a dmax 4x2, planning to use the BS-694 A/T, but the nearest available size is at 265/70/r16. Origs are BS-689 H/T at 245/70/r16. they advised me the tires will fit my oem rims without problems.

Just asking what difference a wider tire will make on the handling, suspension durability, steering effort or strain on power steering. Also will this lead to errors on the actual speed vs speedometer speed?

Read the chris longhurst articles, but could not understand well andi did not see all the answers to my questions.

Thank you all.

For such a small size difference, your vehicle will not even feel that it is wearing different shoes.

Wider tires do grip more (assuming all other factors are equal).

and with wider grip, comes more friction.
more friction, more torque needed to turn the wheels
more torque, more fuel. hehehe

pero kung maliit lang difference, ayos lang yan!

[kurt]

thank you for your responses.

definitely getting at least a pair at the start of the rainy season. baka ma feel ko agad pag-ka A/T ng new tires pag daan sa rough road putik.
(but not off-road)

hey guys, anong magandang A/T tires? Dunlop, Goodyear, others? balak ko rin magpalit sa d-max 4x2.

I'm using Bridgestones on my Frontier now... I'm quite happy with the dry and wet weather performance.

I'm not keen on the Dunlops as they tend to wear out badly (bukol-bukol yung thread).

Can't comment on the Goodyears though as i have not tried them.

[tebs]

yup, don't use dunlops. sobrang bilis ma-upod. reklamo nga lagi dad ko, bakit ang bilis maupod ng gulong nya. sabi ko malambot kasi goma ng dunlop kaya ganun.

bridgestone na lang. matibay yan
