dueler. pero nalimutan ko yun size. si Alejandro Murrieta magpapalit sa kanyang revo. AT ang ilalagay niya.

[promdiboy]

kakatapos ko lang din mamimili ng gulong, 215/70r15 choices ko lang are dueller ht and dunlop sp70e. wala na kasi time magcanvass I chose dunlop. both priced at 2,200+. sa sonny ok. my reason was I wannt a softer ride kahit mabilis maupod. imho

[Pajoz]

Mukhang ok din ang yokohama (made in RP) my bros using in his FX matagal na rin..4get the price. dunlop sp70e is fine..

*afrasay ano kaya model pinalit nya dueler i think 205/70 r15 la yata 215/70 R15.

* otep tahimik kaya to dunlop rv501 and matagal din kaya ma pudpud. iba design ng inner and outer side wall nya.


*pajoz ok din yokohama actually oem ko yan kaya lang medyo madulas specially basa daan.


michelin kaya ok din kaya ito? hirap talaga mamili. thanks

Kung itatakbo nyo ng city use lang HT tread pattern for better dissipation during wet conditions. Softer sidewalls for more comfortable ride. But, the soft rubbers mean that it is also prone to tire puncture even from tidbits of steel and glass debris around. My choice: 2. dunlop rv 501 2,800 made in japan

But if you would run it with occassional rough roads and require more ply strength and extra protection, AT tread will be your viable choice. Though there will be lesser contact area than HT tread, I'd vouch for Dunlop's soft rubber compound for more grip. But, tire lifespan will be your primary concern. Softer rubber compounds tend to have shorter life than hard rubbers. My choice: Dunlop AT2 ot AT1 if available.

May question ako about sa tires kase yung amin GOODYEAR WRANGLER DT napansin ko may bukol at mga lubog sa thread niya.Ano ibig sabihin nito kailangan palitan na?

Yung Goodyear namin na iba ok naman yung dalawang tire lang talaga ang may mga bukol at lubog sa thread.
Pinacheck namin pero sabi nasa balance naman ang tire namin..Ang sasakyan namin ay Nissan Urvan Escapade...

mag dunlop rv ka nalang bossing, kung mag dueller ka get dueller HP not dueller HT.

depends on ur preferense bossing, kung daily driven city lang, no required off road performance, pwede na sp70. gusto mo dunlop grandtrek for mdyo AT thread

I'd go with the Dunlop LeMans RV... The Bridgestone Dueler HT's used on the CRV's and other AUV have lousy threadwear ratings if i remember it right.

tama ka x-wind my bro complains that sometimes, go for no. 2 na lang.

exactly vinj! lousy talaga dueller ht, it makes me so insecure with our trooper, hindi kumakapit specially when i do turns at highspeed. you can hear the tires crying hehe

Michelins are hard rubber compounds. Matibay for one, magsasawa ka na sa goma matagal pa maupod. Ito ang gamit sa van namin, 225/70R15 nga lang size nun. PEro meron silang 215 for your ride. Btw, this brand was the OE tire of XTRM models.

Wala nga 215 sa Dunlop AT the smallest tire is 245/70R15.

On the cornering noise, if it really alarms you, try to check out your tire pressure. If you're running at 30psi or less, try to air out between 33-35, it might help since there will be less flexing (this was the case with the Goodyear Wranglers on my pick-up before)..

promdiboy, malambot ba sp70e sa ride ninyo?
makapit naman sp70e.. sana nga maupod after 2 years para palit na

[snyc3]

Michellin is one of the best and expensive too... next to it i'll choose either a Dunlop or Yokohama. Dunlop is installed on my Patrol 03 and Xtrail 04, nice quiet ride, i like it. If ever i'll change my tires after a few yrs maybe i'll get the MICHELIN brand. Comfort and Low noise is A1.

thanks Mr. President

medyo ok na feedback sa dunlop rv501 mas mahal pala ang 215/65 r15 rather than 215/70r15

[Ungas]

But if I were you, I wouldn't place any tire lower than 70 series if it will run on rough roads. Specially with all the potholes we have.

Teka, anong mags ba gagamitin mo? Stock or magpapalit ka na rin ng iba kasabay ng goma?

[Supierreman]

someone form HCP bought his 215/70-15 RV501 at banawe for 2.7k

This thread has also helped him decide what to get.
