Kasya yan, as long as 7 to 8" and width (17x7 or 17x7.5 or 17x8) to accomodate the tyre width of 205 up to 215.

eto ginagamit ko ngayon. so far, after been using this tire for around two months, wala pa namang problem. in fact, nai-byahe ko na yung oto ko to subic last month.

really dunno about other guys experiences.

The best tire I have tried is MICHELIN XM1.

1) It has a 340 treadwear rating as compared to a usual 200-240 rating. -matagal maupod
2) Super low rolling resistance - The car uses less gasoline. (I can attest to this!!)
3) Super grippy in both wet and dry roads.
4) Very Quiet. The most quiet tire I have ever tried. Even Better than the Turanza GR80.
5) Super comfortable ride.

This Michelin may seem a bit more expensive but it is really worth it. Even my wife who does not know anything about cars felt the difference when she drove the car. Gumaan daw ang steering, bumilis ang car and gumanda ang bagsak ng suspension. Plus, parang tumahimik daw sa loob ng car and tumipid pa sa gas.

For comparison on the tires I have owned, I have tried Pirelli p6000, bridgestone gr80, conti super contact, michelin vivacy, michelin mxv4, dunlop 702, Pirelli p4000, Pirelli p4, goodyear F1, etc..

Hehe... I bought XM1s... for my delivery truck. Love the tires, they feel really light... pero ang sakit sa wallet because I bought 5 pieces.

RE: Federal - same experience. They wear out fast, get bubbles, and they become very slippery when the tread gets worn down. The set I had wobbled at high speeds when they were only two or three months old!

Very disappointing that the grip levels of the tire aren't concommitant with the increased wear. You'd expect quick wearing tires to be stickier!

If you want budget tires, Gajah Tunggals are much much better. A little noisy, but they have more than decent grip and they last forever. In fact, you'll be sick and tired of them by the time they wear out.

BTW, Bridgestone has just released the MY01 (hope that's right). This is a budget version of their older Potenza Grid series and seems aimed at the cheap tire market. Grip is very good (it's a Bridgestone!) and the looks are suitably sporty.
