The Best Brand of Tires

[basti08]

sir how much? hindi naman maingay?

No, hindi maingay. It cost 3.3K a piece. But I was contemplating if I made a right choice because I just saw that Toyo Proxes T1R cost just about the same in S&R lol!

When S&R has a sale, do they lower their tyre prices too?

[vinj]

May discount din AFAIK. As to how much, i'm not sure since i never dare to go to S&R during their sales.

[crazy_boy]

if i remember right, less 300 per tire nung SnR sale. + free nitrogen yata and vulcanizing for the life of the tire.

then minus the hassle of haggling pa hehe

BTT: currently using Toyo H08 light truck tires on our delivery van as per advice of Otep. so far so good. mas malalim yung grooves niya compared to the other tires we have. and it was priced similar to Thai made tires.

Thanks. It might be worth it to check it out next time. I got Michelins there in 2012 at a cheaper price than most other shops I asked at.

I recently bought a set of Dunlop LM703's size 235 50 r18 for about 6800 per tire at DKC. Originally wanted Toyo's, but the shop did not have any on stock. I came from Bridgestone Turanza's and was concerned about the tire noise issue raised. But I find the tire noise acceptable even on high speeds. Travelled to Tagaytay via SLEX over Christmas and Subic via NLEX SCTEX and I find the tire noise tolerable even when travelling at speeds over 100. My kid's never got disturbed from their sleep.

The tyre noise may increase as the tyre wears down. Mine have already gone 25,000kms at the least but the noise levels are still good and bearable on the highway. It may also be a factor that i air up at least 33psi on the tyres (although now i have taken a liking for the 35-37psi range).

The price DKC gave you seems good. I got my 215/50R17s from them at 5,500 per piece around a year and a half ago.

Better deal then! I will definitely try their Toyos next time.

Agree and I usually travel 10k kms per year and replace tires every 3 years. Even my almost 3 year old Turanzas were getting a bit noisier but bearable naman. Wanted Toyo's but no stock and 18" wheels are really expensive. The Toyo was originally quoted at 8300 and DKC only had 225 45 18's but were a bit small for my car. I was at Concept One the morning before it burned down to pick up my rims and they quoted at 9k per tire while Bridgestone and Michellin was at 10K +++ per tire. I always bought Toyo, but happy with the purchase so far.

sirs, pa suggest naman ng 205 70 15r pang innova po. upgrade ko lang from 65 series, para medyo tumangkad.

thank you..

[miko101130]

been using yokohama geolander at/s for 2 months now para sa eve namin....

hands down ako sa performance,

so much quieter than bridgestone dueler(lasted 4 years) and kumho road venture apt(lasted 3 years)...
although at tire siya, its very quiet, superb grip, side wall doesn't flex easily even when loaded or on tight curve at high speeds..

I see some Innovas using Bridgestone Desert Dueler HT, Goodyear Wrangler HT, or Yokohoma Geolandar HT. it's more expensive than the usual passenger tires for thee Innova but expect these to be more durable on bad roads and perhaps, last a little longer.

And noisier.

For those who are using Yokohama aspec ( seen this tire on most innova's ), any feedback?

this is the OEM tire of innovas. even the thread is not a V-thread pattern, you can hear a soft humming sound when driving to concrete and uneven surfaces. the sound it makes for me is bearable, not that loud like the nankang and wanli brand.

yan din pinag pilian ko, kung yokohama geolandar at/s o goodyear wrangler AT/SA,, mas maganda ang yokohama... compare ko siya personally, pumunta pa ako servitek... in the end para sakin mas ok both itsura at specification wise...

yung yokohama binili ko sa tomas mapua.. got it for 8500 per piece, way cheaper than yokohama dealers,
30x10.5xR15 yung sa eve...

hindi ka magsisi sir sa geolandar basta AT/s, kunin mu sir yung OWL, yung meh white outline...

I'd also recommend the Yokohama Geolander. I have a set installed that's done 25,000 so far and the tread is still pretty thick. I keep them inflated at 34psi.

^ I use LM703s on my Corolla (215/50R17) and there is tyre noise but i'm not much bothered by it (25,000kms already at this point). Perhaps its noticeable on your Camry if you came from Bridgestone tyres before as i usually found the Bridgestone tyres to be generally quiet (at least with the the Turanza line we used before). I'm running anywhere from 35psi to 37psi. Switched to nitrogen too, mainly so i don't have to air up too often. My tyre pressure has hardly changed in over a month.

sir vinj, any idea po ba san pede mag pa nitrogen ng tires? thanks?

[SiRbossR]

Nitto Invo's are probably the best track and summer tire for me. A bit pricey though. I have them in my STi and it's pretty good.
