kung di ako nagkakamali REVO ang ride mo...

ito lang advice ko...don't buy Good Year NCT3 tires...masyadong maingay lalo na sa concrete road...

For what car are you looking for?

My tires of choice would be Bridgestone, Dunlop and Yokohoma.

Chieffy, add poor wet road performance and threadwear to the cons of the NCT3s.

I have Hankook Ventus Sport K104. Great wet traction (I've tested it ;) ) Not bad price wise too. http://www.hankooktireusa.com/index.html

All about TIRES.

Tire Dimensions:
The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall. To convert to inches, divide by 25.4 In the example above, the width is 185mm or 7.28".

The second number is the aspect ratio. This is a ratio of sidewall height to width. In the example above, the tire is 7.28" wide, multiply that by the aspect ratio to find the height of one sidewall. In this case, 185x0.60=111mm or 7.28"x0.60=4.36".

The last number is the diameter of the wheel in inches.

To figure the outside diameter of a tire, take the sidewall height and multiply by 2,(remember that the diameter is made up of 2 sidewalls, the one above the wheel, and the one below the wheel) and add the diameter of the wheel to get your answer.

Example...185/60R14 85H or 185/60HR14

185mm x .60=111mm x 2=222mm + 355.6mm(14")= 577.6mm or 22.74"
