Suggestions for new tires

[jIkOy]

Guys,

I'm about to change the OEM Tires from an ISUZU Crosswind XTO. Any suggestions on what brand and type? I'll still be using the same rims. I need tires that can sustain daily drive, load & looks. If it can squeeze in a bit of comfort, much better.

ALL TERRAIN TIRES

Yokohama AT2 +
Pirelli Scorpion AT
Bridgestone AT
Dunlops AT1 or AT2

ATs would be nice for your xwind :D

Thanks guys!!!

I hope those AT's have 205 65 R15 94H or just the right size so as not to alter any adjustments to its height or wheelbase clearance. My Yoko S306 (OEM) will last about 50,000kms, im on my 44k mark now. Is this within its desired lifespan?

[pajerokid]

i'd say pwede na :D

The lifespan of your Yoks are quite OK. I'm not sure on what AT's are available at that size since the XTO carries a size thats more similar to passenger cars (same as the Cefiro 15" size). Please correct me if i'm wrong.

You could check out also some Bridgestone (Turanza) and Dunlop (LM702) tires.

vinj,

That's what i'm worried about, AT's might not have the 15"s, but I'll check, thanks for the help.

Any reviews on the Bridgestone turanza & Dunlop LM702 on AUV's?

sir kimpoy, ba't hindi kasama sa suggested tires na sinabi mo ang goodyear? any bad experience or rumors about goodyear?

[kimpOy]

hmm goodyear AT/R is good
kaso ang hirap sa good year mahal sila compare sa mga tires nabanggit ko.

Sale ang Goodyear sa mga Servitek ngayon. Pero baka mahal pa din.

I suggest the BF Goodrich Radial T/A. Excellent grip and low road noise. I'm so happy with it in my Vitara that my Dad installed it in his new Ranger the moment he got it from the dealer

Wiretap,

Ano size ng tires mo? My ride is also a Vitara with modified suspension (OME) but without spacers. Am using Pirelli Scorpion A/T (215/75/R15). Ok ba yun? OK ba if I put OME spacers and install bigger tires? How big is "bigger tires" ba for Vitara?

Thanks.

you can install 235/75r15 tires with a little bumper trimming. when you say OME modified, shocks plus springs? the spacer is made by another company.

I saw a price list along with the C! Magazine i got... mahal pa rin.

Since the Crosswind wont be doing any off-road excursions, HT's, light van tires, or passenger car tires might be more feasible IMO (and cheaper). I was looking at some Bridgetstone Dueler HT's some time ago, ang baba pala ng treadwear rating. Dunlop makes a LeMans model for RV's as well, i dont know if they still sell it now.

I have a pricelist for discounted good year tires. About the Wrangler AT/R OWL L 235/70R15 orig price=6,567. 50% off is 3,283.

Mahal pa rin ba yon? Am planning to replace my 1 year old Michellin AT LTX. 50% off promo at all Servitek is until July 31, 2003.

Hindi po ito ads, fyi lang.

Yes, Sir ARB. OME shocks and springs but without spacers. The ride has improved a lot onroad, nawala yung tagtag. Ewan ko lang how OME performs offroad. Magaling kaya OME sa offroad as compared to other offroad shocks in the market? Any comment from those with OME? Ano sa opinion nyo ang the best offroad shocks?

Thanks.

OME and the Vitara complement each other perfectly both on-road and offroad. I can attest to that. Di ko nga ma tire lift ang rear suspension ko because of the great articulation. Di ba OTEP? (yung sa Fort dati...)
