Tires

[bougartt]

Guys i don't know much about tires so i hope you guys could tell me the pros and cons of what i just did.

I recently (few hours ago) changed the tires of my Gen2 Crv. I got Good Year FORTEZA tires. They look noticably bigger than my stock. So what are the pros and cons of what i just did?

I have noticed that ride height has increased by i guess 2-3 inches and the ride itself got smoother.

Will my bigger tires affect my fuel consumption?

Hope you guys could help me out. Thanks.

i don't think so...

maybe if kulang/ sobra sa hangin yung gulong... it will affect your fuel consumption.

[niky]

Bigger=heavier=higher fuel consumption due to weight

Bigger=larger diameter=lower engine speed=lower fuel consumption due to lower engine speed during cruising

=...konti lang diprensiya siguro... :D ...maybe 5% or less towards the negative, but livable if you keep your pressures normal/high.

baka Goodyear FORTERA, not FORTEZA.

and are your sure your ride height increased by 2-3inches? that's a very big increase. check the size of your new tires sa sidewall para malaman natin kung talagang mas malaki nga yung tires na nabili mo.

[leinahtan]

Shifting from standard to bigger tires means increasing engine load and therefore reducing fuel efficiency.

Sir Boybi yeah FORTERA pala ooops my bad. yep sir very noticable yung size difference ng tires eh. from a 96 naging 100.

[boybi]

what do you mean by "from 96 naging 100"? have you checked on the tire size printed on the side?

baka yung kapal ng goma ang sinasabi nya... (width x aspect ratio).

[bougartt]

Old Bridgestone - 205/70R15 96t

Goodyear Fortera - 225/70R15 100s

[boybi]

1" lang ang difference sa height ng old and new tires mo. up to 1.5" siguro ang difference if we consider na gasgas na yung old tires mo.

yung 96T and 100S is the speed rating of your tires and have no relation to the size of your tires.

[bougartt]

oops sorry



so what are the pros and cons of this change?

nothing much?

[boybi]

no noticeable difference. meron ka bang napansin na mas tumigas ang pag steer mo? mas lumapad kasi ang gulong mo by 20mm.

The first figure in the tire is the overall width (in millimeters). The second number (after the slash) is the aspect ratio. The third one (after the R) is the size of the wheel to which the tire is fitted (in inches). The fourth is the load capacity (not sure about the unit of measurement though). Finally, the letter is the speed rating of the tire. For example, S is limited to 180 km/h, T to 190 and H to 210.

How to get the estimated overall height:

{[(2) x (width of tire x aspect ratio)]/2540} + diameter of mags

* final unit is in inches

[bougartt]

noticable diff ko lang talaga was the ride became smoother and softer.. parang di na ganoon ka tagtag.. sa steering department, no difference parang ganoon parin..

Squala thanks i'll compute it later

[boybi]

FORTERAs are softer than your old bridgestone that's why the ride became smoother.

[falken]

Goodyear Fortera is a much better tire than the stock Bridgestone tires on the CRV.

[flakez]

tanong ko lang. ano mas magandang tires na 195/50 r16. ung gamit kasi namin ngayon ung falken. tanong ko sana kung mas maganda ung yokohama, un kasi gusto ng erpat ko. o kaya naman ung bridgestone, dami kasing may benta nito sa amin. hehehe. saka magkano na rin price range.

salamat

Guys i have i stupid question, kasi ngayon ko lang na realize ang mali ko.

Now i have tires like this
-Goodyear Fortera - 225/70R15 100s

BUT my SPARE tire is still this
-Bridgestone - 205/70R15 96t

NOW, WHAT IF ma flat ako tapos i put my bridgestone on to replace a flat tire.
COULD I DO THIS without damaging the car??

Of course you could. Many cars today come with those skinny ass "space/weightsaver" spare tires. The grip and handling characteristics of your car will be affected, but as long as you don't treat the road as a racetrack you're mostly okay.

Good Day mga sirs, magtatanong lang po kung magkano ngayon ang tires na 235/70R15? wala po kasi ako idea eh, and kung ano ang magandang brand, my car is a 4x4 delica space gear. thanks
