been using hankook tires for almost 3 yrs na (centum k70 ata. 185/65/14). so far ok naman. la pang blow out at ok ang treadwear. nabyahe ko na rin ng malayo although not on a full load. pero mas ok ata kapit at mas matahimik ang yokohama s306. last time i bought it mga 1,300+ ang isa. di ko lang alam ngayon. pero balak kong bumili uli. san ka nakakita? out of stock kasi yung nabilhan ko dati eh.

i'm not into korean made tires. i'd rather get indonesian made tires like Gajah Tunggal for the same price.

coiter: thanks? san ako nakakita ng ano? ng hankook? sa FHM magkakano na kaya ang s306 ngyn?

jim: ano masasabi mo sa GT?

our Starex had Hankook tires and with all our cars, only in the starex did I experience a tire blowout, buti nalang bagal lang takbo ko nun and a guy on a motorcycle overtook me while pointing at my front passenger side tire. never got to thank the guy though, dumeretso lang sya while i pulled over.

thanks...so hankook's are relatively OK? for their price? how about grip? specially on wet roads. i love the grips on my michellin but mich's are too expensive for what i have in mind

[gearspeed]

Alam ko pumuputok din ang michellin.I used hankook before at my suzuki fronte kaso naubos na yung 155/80 R12 at kala ko wala ng hankook na binebenta.Ok naman siya maganda kapit kaso parang mabilis mapudpod lalo na pag wet roads.

pitbullz: haha kala ko may nakita ka nang shop.

bluebimmer: may mga narinig na nga ako regarding the starex tire blowouts. import kasi ata lahat ng starex dati at wala pang official dealerships ang hyundai. because of this, the stock tires are not tropicalized (pang korea weather) kaya hindi kaya ang heat dito sa pinas. kaya either lumolobo or sumasabog. or i could be wrong hehe. ewan ko lang kung nangyari uli yun sa mga hyundai dealer-released vehicels. buti na lang di ka nawalan ng control.

anyway, kung may doubts ka regarding hankook, dun ka na sa mga safe and proven.

[pitbullz]

any alternatives mga bosing? preferably nasa 1300-1500 each by the way ikakabit ko pala sa daihatsu charade ... so di naman masyad mabigat...sana kapag magaan car maapektuhan ang blow-out ratio...i think this has something to do w the steel belts heating up,right?

ny bestfriend's dad used to work for sime darby (before it closed down) and it was a common practice for them to benchmark their competitor's tires.

as he shared, of the lesser-popular tire brands, gajah tunggal (or GT Radial as i see in some of their tires) performed the best overall in these activities. their tests would include simulations of wet and dry grip, treadwear, ride comfort, and noise.
