[Edit] Tires for mini-SUVs

[onewaytrip]

Greetings po. We have a 2002 CR-V 4x2. I was wondering what tires are the best to replace the stock Bridgetone Dueler H/T's. I see that some of the newer CR-V's have Yokohama Geolandars as stock. Ok ba ito? How about ung Goodyear Fortera? Ok pa rin po ba ung Bridgetone Dueler H/T? Thanx!

[caloyski5]

experience namin with the stock bridgestones ok naman..experience ng friend ko sa crv nila na naka yokohama geolandars madulas..first time nila na experience na dumulas sa condo parking nila (asia towers) interested ako ma experience ang GY fortera..pero kung ako, the stock bridgestones are ok.

[Supierreman]

the stock bridgstone H/T installed on the CR-V are the worst stock tires. even the people from other countries at Hondasuv swear against it. maingay sa daan di pa makapit.

If you want to upgrade ino new tires take into consideration what specs you want. do you want a road tire (H/T) or all season tire (A/T)


Pag H/T tires (highway Terrain) better upgrade the tire sie na rin to 215/70-15. Wider tires na tama lang diameter it wont affect your speedometer reading. mas gaganda pa handling.


Take a look at Dunlop RV501 215/70-15. around 2.2k yata isa nun.


Yung Geolandar H/L or H.T yata sa CR-V ngayon di yun yung Japan made. ang ok na Geolandar yung A/T tires na lineup nila.


Fortera.. stock sa Escape yun. nabasa ko posts nila Otep noon nabutas fortera ni kiper sa offroading session

[kiper]

Okay ung Fortera sa Off-road..maganda kapit. Pero sa On-road..maingay! nakakainis.

Nabutas gulong ko kasi tumama sa semento, running too fast tas nadulas..my bad.

[caloyski5]

nyark. panget pala yung bridgestones na yun.

onewaytrip, wait for other recommendations na lang.. :D

[Supierreman]

hehe not all bridgestones naman pangit. labo kase s abridgestone halos lahat Dueler yung name ng tires nila nagkaiba lang dun sa number code. Yung nakakabit sa Rav4 na bridgestone ok yata yun pero yung nakalagay na stock sa cr-v one of the worst ever hehehe.

May nakita na din ako Fortera sa CR-V ganda din width nya kahit stock 205/70-15 on a cr-v (pero i still reccomend 215/70-15).

Since 4x2 din yun best setup na dyan street tires na Dunlop RV501

elo po.. ung tires ko po ngayon sa kotse dunlop rv 501 225/50 r17... although, nagpalit dn ako ng rims... 17" ang rims ko ngayon, mas ok ang ride compared sa stock..

[onewaytrip]

thanx sa mga replies...
caloyski5... madulas pala un geolandar. hindi kaya sa tire pressure lang un kaya nadulas?
Supierreman, thanx sa recommendation. di panaman due for replacement pero i'll take note. pwede pala upgrade sa 215/70-15. sa mga naka-cr-v, what tire pressure do you use? (sorry, offtopic na ba?) un samin kasi 33, medyo matigas parin kapag sa middle row seat nakaupo. pero baka nasanay lang ako sa sedan. yund Dunlop RV501 ba un ung "side facing outwards"?

[kiper]

onewaytrip, 30psi lang ayos na.

ung sa escape ko, 34psi ang nilalagay ko.

[caloyski5]

ill ask again..baka "nadulas" lang siya hehehe

seriously, ill ask tomorrow :D

[Supierreman]

onewaytrip,
8 seater/ 10 seater ba yung sayo? ganun talaga tire pressures nun for the added load. saka kahit bawasa mo hangin nun matagtag pa rin kase mas matigas spring rates nung pang 8seater/10seater

caloyski,
yung nadulas ba na cr-v Manual tranny?

[Cardo818]

yup, maingay yun B/S duelers na stock sa CRV. B/S Duelers din yun stock sa rav4 pero much more quiet.

hows about michellins? LTX?

[UBS73]

yup the stock tires of the CRV are noisy. Mga sir, kamusta naman ang tread wear ng Dunlop RV501? Di ba madaling maubos?

[knicks1204]

i've only had mine 4 a couple of months... ilang balik narn sa tagaytay... ok parn naman ung tread nya... =)

[onewaytrip]

yes po, 8/10-seater ung amin. this morning i saw a gen1 rav4 with Bridgetone Dueler H/T spare tire, pero iba ung tread, parang mas pang-car, hindi katulad nung nasa stock Dueler H/T nung CR-V... hmmm... confusing... siguro mas bago (or mas luma?) na design un pero Bridgetone didn't change the name... or baka sa ibang country gawa...

[onewaytrip]

the stock bridgstone H/T installed on the CR-V are the worst stock tires. even the people from other countries at Hondasuv swear against it. maingay sa daan di pa makapit.

Take a look at Dunlop RV501 215/70-15. around 2.2k yata isa nun.

buhayin ko lang po ang thread na ito. mods, pwede po bang palitan ang name ng thread na ito ng "Best tire for mini SUV"?

i'm also starting to swear against this Dueler H/T 684. nagpalit ako ng flat tire tonight buti na lang hindi sa daan inabutan. twice na na namin maexperience magkaflat sa Duelers na to. maybe depende rin sa dinadaanan pero sa skyway naman to halos palagi dumadaan.

ininspect ko ung tires
2 - may maliit na pako pero di pa sumisingaw
1 - butas, ito ung flat, mukhang pako din
1 - previously vulcanized na
1 - mukhang ok pa naman


does anyone know may certain types or models of tire ba na mas madali mapako?

as of now what's the best model of tire for mini suv? ok ba yung geolandar natin dito? tiwala kasi ako sa yokohama, lalo na kung japan-made. confusing kasi ang nomenclature:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=HAS(reliable ba ang site na to?)

[Supierreman]

Yung Geolandar HP na nakakabit sa bagong CR-Vs ngayon locally made yun. Yung Geolandar. grabe yang chart sa tyre rack nasa lowest part ng ranking yung Dueler :P

In my Experience when I switched to All Terrain Tires almost 2 yrs na isang goma pa lang napako. Kung saan saan ko na rin dinadaan lalo napaguwi ko province minsan may mga unpaved roads.

Yung sa Civic ko dati yung Dunlop FM901 almost every month may pako yata yung oto ko badtrip!
