Chase : same size as before, 205/70/R15, Goodyear Fortera, 6 ply na ito, don't get me wrong, am not in anyway connected with Goodyear, I just meant may size sila nito.

isn't the Duelers (which is the OEM tire of the CR-V) already one of the most comfortable tires for light trucks / SUV? hirap kasi dito sa pinas... hindi available ang mga premium model ng Duelers (base model lang kasi ang available dito).

Goodyear Fortera? bago lang ba yan? magkano per tire?

Last year lang lumabas, nasa P2,800 ang isa, mas mataas lang UTQG rating niya kesa Bridgestone Dueler A/T.

OT. are you sure that your Peso 700 brakepad is really for the CR-V? the Peso 4000 price of the CR-V's brakepad is just right.

yeah, the 10 seater's suspension is stiffer. hence the bouncier ride.

the 4000 peso brake pads are not for the crv, but rather for the 2000 accord of mine. its true! they tried to charge 4000 pesos for OEM brake pads. while i only changed them to bendix, saved me 3300 pesos!

Dueler H/T ang OEM tires ng CR-V and other CUVs.

**pissword** · April 8th, 2005 08:18 PM

oo nga dueler H/T ang stock, mahal siya ha, although yung tinanong ko is for the ford everest 265/70/R15 ata yun... 5,800 each ata siya... i dunno though sa size ng rav4 and crv

as for the brakepads, mga 4K nga ang pad sa casa, kasi nung pinalitan nila itong sa amin under warranty kasi tumutunog, yung pinirmahan kong papel almost 8K yung inabot eh.. buti nalang under warranty

Sorry, my mistake, I meant H/T. If you compare the UTQG ratings mababa siya kesa Goodyear Fortera.

the cr-v's stock dueler h/t is the dueler h/t 684 (thai-made & it's a bad tire!). we have experienced 3 or 4 flats with this 684 and i've read in other forums that it's really a bad tire. there are different versions of the dueler h/t. the rav4's is 687 i think.

i would recommend dunlop le mans rv501. i just bought a pair 2 months ago after some internet and forum reading. side facing outwards tsaka japan-made! it's a bit wider too than the stock dueler h/t.
