tires for R15

[silverzz]

mga sirs hingi lang sana ako ng recommendations sa inyo regarding tires para sa 15" mags na binili ko... actually stock Altis G mags cya... balak ko sundin yung stock specs which is 195/60/R15... ano ba magandang tires for this? sa mga nabasa ko kasi sa iba't ibang forums meron daw mga tires na maingay, tahimik, madulas, makapit, soft compound (ano to?), etc... kala ko kasi dati pareho pareho lang tires tapos sa brand lang nagkakaiba.. hingi sana ako input mula sa inyo mga sirs tsaka kung me idea kayo how much papost na din.. yung hindi naman po masyado high end, pang daily driving lang... taga south area kasi ako so mejo mahaba haba nilalakbay ko (50-60 km) every day... ang pinaka-important na consideration sa akin is yung tahimik at comfortable na ride (sa dami ba naman ng lubak dito sa pinas e )... at yung price na din... hehe... thanks very much!

Silverzz,

my suggestion is u look for tires that comes from or made from countries with the same tropical country like ours. suggestion ko lang yan ha and my own opinion. i believe kase na mas ugma yung quality ng rubber for usage sa condition ng climate natin.

What's that got to do with the rubber quality? Tires made for cold weather have different composition of materials and would not be sold in the Philippines anyways since they would be classified as snow tires. The closes you would probably find is an all-season tire rated m+s, the other available tires would be classified as 3 season tires. Most tires including the high speed rated tires now are 3 season tires anyways for use in warm weather summer months with dry and wet traction.

RE: 195-60-15? Yoko C-Drives or Bridgestone Turanza GR80s are nice. Both grippy and quiet, and the C-Drives are supposed to have good wet-weather holding.

[ssaloon]

c-drive or direzza (not sure if they offer 60 series tires).

[silverzz]

i was supposed to go with the Yokohama C-drives pero pag-uwi ko kanina parang magic na nagkaroon ng tires yung mags ko! bigla daw kasi sinipag dad ko na mag-ayos sa garahe kaninang umaga at unang nakita e yung mags ko at ayun binilhan na ng Dunlop Lemans LM702... any feedback on these tires? just want to know what to expect with these tires... sayang naman kung papapalitan ko pa baka magtampo pa sa akin dad ko... kunwari na lang na na-disappoint ako para ma-guilty dad ko at wag na ako singilin sa tires... hahaha ... thanks!

Yokohama ES100 or Bridgestone Potenza GIII

[niky]

They're okay... supposedly "bukol" easily, but if they're at a 60 aspect, there should be no problem.

afaik, bihira o wala nga atang 195/60 15 ng mga ito but only offers 55 series (correct me if I'm wrong peeps). Dami kong pinagtanungan kasi, other countries daw sell those sizes. Hirap talagang maghanap even me, gusto ko talaga ES100 size 205/60 15, search ako sa net, meron ganung size kaso nga lang sa ibang bansa like US, Aussie etc. Kung meron man, bihirang bihira siguro!

Nagcanvass ako last Wed dito malapit na tire supply just outside our village, 195/55 15 na ES100, Potenza G3, Direzza sells at a range from P4k up to P4.3k+,. Yoko Advan Neova * P4.2k/tire. Damn, ang mahal!

*ssaloon: ganda talaga ng thread nyan (Direzza), like this one too, but 55 series lang talaga karamihan,..badtrip!

*niky: yup, Turanza GR & ER series tires are very comfy, soft compound, less road noise & makapit. (GR-50 for my sedan & ER-60 for our van). C-Drive din has good, fair comments & feedbacks too!

add ko narin: For those interested to buy, canvass for a Bnew or 2nd hand tires, here try to contact or go to this place:
Ralph Tire Supply #6457906 Loc: Bonanza Bldg., Felix Ave., Cainta (very near at Sta. Lucia Mall lang).

Preferably mga tsikoteers na mga taga part Antipolo, Marikina, Cainta or Pasig o yung mga napapadpad sa area dyan, try nyo dun, fair narin price nila, daming sizes available pa. They offer Trade-In's too!

Cheer!!!
