The Best Brand of Tires

[KBR]

kahit out of the topic, tanong lang po kung ano best tire pressure sa

front namin 205/65/15??
rear namin 205/70/15??

30psi ginagamit namin kaso parang mababa yung tupi ng gulong. parang malambot. ok lang ba 30psi kahit yung isa 205/70 or 65/15??

sir, OK lang ang 30 psi. mukha lang malambot ang gulong mo dahil mataas ang Sidewall niya (which is 65 & 70), so natural lang na mag mukhang malambot ang gulong.

anywayz, make sure that the required tire pressure on your car/tire is at the right specs and dont over-inflate the tires. for ex: kung maximum pressure ng tires mo is only at 35 psi, set the tire pressure at 28-30 psi (set it when the tire temperature is cold.. and dont go over the maximum pressure since the tire pressure will build up when the tires get hot.. after a few miles of driving).


aite, peace.

anywayz, heres my fair share of which brand of Tires are good (this is just based on my overall experience after installing these tires on my customers cars and my own personal fleet of cars.)

-Michellin (Luxury Cars and SUV's)

-Goodyear (Trucks and SUV's)

-Bridgestone (Luxury Cars, Mid-size Sedans and SUV's)

-Yokohama (Sport Compact Cars, Mid-size Sedans and SUV's)

-Dunlop (Sport Compact Cars and Mid-size Sedans)

-Falken (Sport Compact Cars)

-Sumitomo (Sport Compact Cars)


aite, peace.

ah ok lang pala ang 30 psi sa tire size namin.. kasi ng last time sinubukan ko mag 35 ay parang ang tigas ng ride tapos parang laging may bato na nasasagasaan. hehe.. sige maintain ko lang ang 30psi. tapos wala pa man ding malapit dito sa amin na nagkakarga ng nitrogen kaya ok na rin 30psi..

salamat...

akin 29 front and 30 rear for 195/55/15 tires


ok na ba yun..

[Joned]

Sa akin Yokohama A Drive 195/60r/15. 34 psi sa rear at 35 psi sa front. Mas mahalaga sa akin ang fuel consumption kaya mas matigas ang gulong.

[co_nixz]

GOODYEAR!!! ksi pang kalsada tlga d2 sa pinas hehehe!

pero sa pagka makapit Michellin & Yokohama.

ako gamit ko ngayun UNIROYAL LABOH!

thats good to hear, stay w/ 30 psi para hindi din ma pwersa ang gulong and suspension.

ok lang yun as long hindi ka lalagpas sa maximum pressure ng gulong.

Sa akin Yokohama A Drive 195/60r/15. 34 psi sa rear at 35 psi sa front. Mas mahalaga sa akin ang fuel consumption kaya mas matigas ang gulong.

kung maximum tire pressure ng Yokohama A Drive is at 40-45 psi, then ok lang ang settings mo. pero pag 35 ang maximum, stay within 30 psi.. since na pwedeng mag wear out ng mabilis ang gulong pag masyadong mataas ang pressure. also, youll have lesser grip and contact patch if you have too much tire pressure... specially on tires with higher sidewalls (60,65,70's.. etc.)

Overinflating your tires will lead to them wearing out at the middle first---gastos din ang aabutin mo nyan.

If you really value your fuel consumption, don't overinflate the tire. Just be extra vigilant in maintaining correct tire pressure.

[niky]

34 or 35 may or may not be over-inflated, depending on the design of the tire. In my experience, the contact patch of most tires still stays relatively flat at 35 psi. It's pressure of 40 and above that are kind of excessive.

Case to case basis lang yun... ;)

Alam ko na rin yun. Kaso sa case ko, noon na 30 psi ang pressure ay mas mabilis naubos ang outer part ng tires. Kaya ngayon pansin ko pantay na siya at 34-35 psi sa accord ko.

still on the same topic (instead of creating a new one):

ano pinaka bang for the buck na gulong para sa rav4.1? looking at the sizes 215/70 and 235/60 both R16. price range na rin para may idea sa gastos.

[niky]

Goodyear Forteras are now selling at a kick-ass low price. mazdamazda paid just 2,5k each for his.

They're good tires... decent on-road performance and good longevity.

what size kaya? 2.5K for an SUV tire.. mura!!!

mazdamazda.. yohooo.. need more info sana.

[niky]

215-70-15 yata yung sa kanya... or 235... don't know which.

Ermmm... :lol: it was mbt who bought the Forteras. Here's the thread where he posted it: http://www.bigbigcar.com/boards/Defa...?g=posts&t=217

215/70 R15 nga lang yun.

Bought my Turanza ER-30s (235/60 R16) for about 5K+ each (c/o Mr. Ty of GrupoRav4).

AFAIK - the Fortera doesn't have a 235/60 R16 size, but they carry the 215/70 R16 (the alternative tires for the Rav4).

[nyagi]

thanks mazdamazda. am having problems with bigbigcar though.

anyway, how's the turanza compared with the dueler h/t? any idea on how's the performance of the fortera?

thanks!

[mazdamazda]

The Dueler H/T 687 is just average... though it did impress me during my dirt road stint somewhere in Rizal.

The Turanza is a pure on-road tire (since it's a passenger car tire)... it's quieter and grips well. The only downside is its fast treadwear (140).

[nyagi]

been reading the thread sa bigbigcar regarding tires, wala review on the fortera yet. kaso mahal na rin fortera, called some servitek.. nasa 3200 na pinaka mura. so halos parehas na ng price range ng yoko and bridgestone.

among the 3 brands (yokohama geolander h/t, bridgestone dueler h/t, and good year fortera), ano tingin nyo ok sa 3? same price na lang halos sila. looking for a quiet ride sana.

[niky]

I'd rate the Fortera over the Dueler H/T, but I don't know about the Geolander, as I've never driven on it. The Dueler has an awesome tread life, though.

Sorry about the confusion, M2... knew you both bought... forgot it was mbt who got the Forteras.

[mazdamazda]

I also think that the Fortera has a slight advantage over the Dueler H/T in terms of on-road performance.
