    Yup pwede din nga yan sa mga iba pang rubber at plastics.

    oversizing tires
    ladies & gentelemen:

    is it ok to upgrade or oversize the tires of my car from 195 60 R15 to 195 65 R15? as of now, i just changed the 2 rear tires, 195 65 R15 & still using 195 60 R15 at my front wheels. ok lang po ba to, the front tires are smaller than the rear tires? but i'm planning to change the front tires too, later na nga lang coz i'm on a tight budget and walang nakkipag-trade in dito sa province namin ng slightly used tires. sayang din naman kasi yong smaller tires ko, medyo bago pa naman. i decided to put the bigger and newer tires sa likod kasi mas magandang tingnan kahit pano, and mas kilalang brand, yokohama yong nilagay ko sa front. yong binili kong newer and bigger tires ay deestone, made in thailand. ok naman daw yon sabi ng ibang carowners na gumagamit nong deestone. by the way, my ride is 97 mitsu galant ss.
    sir, ask ko lang how's the performance of your deestone tires? im planning also to buy the tires for my van. TIA.

    1 month and 18 days ko pa lang ginagamit bro kaya di ko pa masabi ang performance. pero sabi nong friend ko na matagal ng gumagamit ng deestone, halos pareho lang daw if not better than goodyear.

    Based on my experience naman with our company's L300 FB van, goodyear wrangler performed better than deestone. Just sharing.

    Why not wash the car yourself? It isn't too hard, and if you follow the proper wash technique, you'll minimize any marring to the paint. Here's a good thread to get you started:

    Most car wash services use pressurized 'mist' to rinse cars. This is harmless to the car's paint, unless they mistakenly put sand instead of water.. :D
