The Best Brand of Tires

[mcbry]

san kaya merong available na firenza tires (215/45r17)?

[jut703]

just did an initial google :D

yokohama S drive
hankook ventus v12 evo K110
Kumho ECSTA SPT

which of these would you prefer? size I will choose is 215/45/R17 (since konti lang nag offer ng 205/50/R17)

I will only be buying a pair, then replace the other tires as well when the other two needs replacing as well.

Mahal pareho yung S.Drive and Ventus. The S.Drive would cost you almost double what an Ecsta SPT would cost you.

I have Ecstas on our Altis. 205/55 R16 costs 4.1k a piece. For your car, siguro mga 5k. An equivalent S.Drive would probably cost around 9k.

how's the performance of Kumho ECSTA compare to Federal 595 EVO?
i'm looking for a reliable 215/45R17 for our Altis.
thanks.

[Errol5]

no experience with them but both will do just fine. Just stay away from SS595 as they are very very noisy (my brother uses a set)

Hi all,

Magpapalit na kami ng tires on our FD Civic - 205/55/R16 91V

OEMs are Bridgestone Turanza ER30s.

What I didn't like about these was that they made quite harsh and noisy.

What are good budget tires for replacement?

The initial shortlist
Bridgestone Turanza ER30 - P7200
- quiet on asphalt, noisy on cement, harsh ride

Yokohama A. Drive - P5300
- quiet on asphalt, (not as) noisy on cement, ride is less harsh

Kumho Ecsta KU31 - WHERE AND HOW MUCH?
- how are these tires?
- **reviews seem to indicate that this is quite a good tire. Value for money, good grip, but wears a bit fast and gets much noisier when wearing out. Not a lot of info about comfort though.
- I'm interested in these

Kumho Solus KH17 - WHERE AND HOW MUCH?
- how are these tires?
- **reviews seem to pan these tires.

Dunlop 703 - P4800
- don't think I want these, bumubukol and bad grip. But I'm just writing it down here.

Any other tires I should be considering? Want something comfortable, quiet with reasonable grip. Hindi naman kami nangangarera sa daan haha.

Also, I don't think I'd like to consider chinese brands at the moment. Want something at least at par with OEM quality.

i'm good with my yoko a.drive. as you said nga and i can confirm, quiet on asphalt and not so noisy on cement. sa umpisa parang medyo maingay, pero siguro nasanay lang ako sa yoko stock tires. ngayon okay na. parati lang dami nakasingit na mga bato sa tire tread.

[mda]

Yup tama, (pati yung bato sa tire tread) actually yun yung stock tires namin sa '09 Civic namin. So far It feels better than the Bridgestone ER30s on the '06. Just checking if there are other tires that may be better value for the money.

So far, parang okay yung Kumho Ecsta KU31. Just looking for a dealer and other people's feedback. Halos 500PHP cheaper per tire e. (Just got off the phone with a shop that carries them)

[Gerbo]

My experience with Kumho tires is their thread tend to wear quite readily.

So how fast has your tread worn sir?

Our Civic's OEM Turanza ER30 has already worn out (less than 2mm left) with more or less 37K KMs.

[Revenant]

Goodyear Assurance Armorgrip is quite a good all around tire. It's grippier, more comfortable and quiet than Goodyear Duraplus though it wears out faster.

Hankook Optimo K415 is a nice tire as well. Not as quiet as the K715 but has better grip.

Try to look around and get some quotations for Bridgestone Turanza GR90 as well.

[mda]

Any idea where to get?

The GR90s are bloody expensive and are front/back tires. Gonna be kind of expensive to replace.

Tirecenter is a good place to start for Hankooks and Bridgestones. They also carry Continental Comfort Contact 5 but they're order basis, costs 5.6-5.8k for the size you mentioned.

Goodyear Assurance is 5.3-5.5k in Servitek branches.

Tirecenter is a good place to canvass. They have the Continental Comfort Contact 5 that costs 5.7-5.8k. The Goodyear Assurance is roughly around 5.3-5.5k in Servitek branches.

I drive a 2009 Honda City with stock mags. Tire size 175/65R15 I want to use the stock mags but upgrade to a wider tire. Mostly highway driving. I want comfort and quiet tires. I find the stock Goodyear GT3 to be too thin. I think upgrading to wider tires will give better grip.

According to tire size claculator I can use:

1. 195/55R15 its 2.1% smaller. Meaning the car will be droped by a .6 inches. I'm a bit concerned bec my drive way is high and my car's underside sometimes hits when backing out. This is .8 inches wider.

2. 195/60R15 is 1.1% larger. Its .2 inches taller and .8 inches wider. Will it look like a balloon?

3. 205/55R15 is 0.3% smaller which is almost exactly the same height .1 inch smaller, while being 1.2 inches wider. Will fit the stock mags or its too wide?

Finding 205/55R15's will be a bit hard but its worth the try. If not, go with the 195/60R15s.

sir, the best upgrade for your city in my humble opinion is 185/65 R15.

parang ok ang 185/65r15 .5 inch taller and .4 inchwider. So its a little taller and wider. Hopefully the additional height is enough so I dont scrape my bottom in my driveway. What brands are good? I'm thinking:
Yoko C drive 2, goodyear nct5, Toyo Teo Plus, or Bridgestone. Dont like Dunlop. Not interested in Fedral, Gt, Nangkang and China brands.

hi guys,

May nakagamit na ba ng Maxxis tires sa inyo? Ano masasabi nyo sa performance in terms of grip on wet and dry roads, noise, durability, price and sidewall protector? Saan nga ba gawa ito?

Thanks
