here's a site where you can get stats and different reviews on differnt tire makes. Tirerack does intense testing on the tires they sell using different driving scenarios. From wet, to dry, to snow, also they compare handling, cornering, road noise, wear, etc of different tire brands.

My current Kumho's suck. They're only good for burnouts and donuts IMHO. My all season Sumitomo tires grip and corner better. My next tires I have planned are Toyo T1's once my new rims are available.

guys singit ko lang tanong since this thread is all about tire specs etc... sorry for the ignorance pero tanong ko lang what does the numbers mean ba? i mean for example 205/55/r17, yung sa first column ano po yun, yung second and third column? want to change tires kasi, but before i could do that, have to know the basics po. thanks.

first column... how wide the tire is... in millimeters

second column... how thick the sidewall is... in percentage of the 1st column

3rd column... how is the tire's inside radius.

ano ba ang decent tire na di kamahal-mahal? ah, este, yung mura (pero di bottom-of-the-barrel) na ok?

i think yoko s306 is the crappiest and cheapest tire out there

unfortunately i have four! hwehwehwe... 2100 each na pala ngayon. darnit.

i know almost ANY tire would be an upgrade on the s306, pero yun ang pinaka mura eh. ano kaya ang "not much more expensive" e.g. 2500/tire tapos much better? meron ba nun?

my tire size is 205/55/15. i noticed the tire price increases exponentially with the rim size. oh well.. there go my 16" rim ambitions hehehe
