    One of my stock Yokohama Geolandars got totally busted the other day. Bad news kasi unfixable sa laki ng butas. Ang good news, may opportunity ako mag upgrade.

    Kaya lang kurips ako. Plus the only speed I really get up to is about 180 (once pa lang) and my car is a daily driver. Makapal pa my stock tires, nabutas lang ng malaking bolt yung isa.

    Ang mga tanong:

    1) Do I upgrade at all or just get another Geolandar. It's only 1 tire after all. (This is SKM - Super Krips Mode)

    2) If I upgrade? What do I do with my 4 old tires? Sayang naman kung di mabenta/ma trade tsaka masyado mahal aabutin yung upgrade kung hindi. Should I upgrade pa isa isa, 2 at a time, or all at once? (This is MKM - Medyo Kurips Mode) Most importantly, HOW do I sell/trade without too much hassle?

    3) Assuming masagot ng ayos ang #2, what do I upgrade to? Considering ang pinaka important sa akin ay comfort/noise, grip/performance/safety, at cost. Also, since may soft road akong dinadaanan, I'd prefer road-biased all-terrain tires pa din.

    I'm usually the type na modified driver stock na car kaya sana matulungan ninyo ako dahil wala akong masyadong alam about tires and some such. I also live in the province kaya important din na di masyado ma hassle ang proseso.

    TIA guys.

    You've just answer your own question. If you are "KURIPS" why bother buying upgrade tire, just replace that flat tire and your on your way. C,mon you better than that.

    Me too, i go for the stock... just replace the busted one... para kasing "hirap na hirap" ang loob mo sa pag-a-upgrade na gusto mo naman...however, look down and see your wallet!

    1. pa-repair mo yung damaged tire. may nananahi niyan or put rubber tube. depende sa laki ng butas.

    2. hanap ka 2nd hand tire same kind or different kind but same size.

    mahirap din kasi kung mag palit ka ng paisa-isa lang..
    hindi na pantay ang kapal ng goma, might have some handling problems (kabig)..

    kung magpapalit ka, better do it in pairs..

    or kung tipid mode talaga hanap ka muna ng surplus na halos pareho na ang thread with your other tyres..

    tapos mag ipon ka na, para pagdating ng time na kelangan mo na magpalit ng gulong, pwede ka na bumili ng isang set..

    Conflicted ako eh. Kasi I'm HOPING na malaki ang iiimprove ng performance at noise level kung magpalit ng gulong. I can afford it naman for sure.

    But in my place, the wealthiest people are also the stingiest. Hindi uso dito yung porke may kaya ka, bongga ka na kasi hard-earned ang datung namin. Hindi galing sa pork barrel.

    Kaya naghahanap ako ng 'sulit' na way na pakinabangan ang 'opportunity' na ito.

    Bale, either murang murang replacement lang ng reserba, o sulit na way para mag upgrade ng apat.

Help naman diyan o ... :)
