    ^^ magkano budget mo?
    kung medyo mataas budget, yokohama a-drives.

    kung medyo limited budget: kelly tires, gt champiro or achilles platinums. pwede na rin federals.

    Thanks a lot on your suggestions.

    Actually I used Yokohama A529 on my other car. The S-drive are supposedly its replacement but a quick check show its a bit pricey.

    I would have selected the GT Champiro but just hold out for sometime to hear out what you may say.

    Na try ko na rin Roadstone. Is it true Nexen na daw yon ngayon?

    I somehow did not take serious consideration of the Goodyears and the Bridgestones as I am intrigue by tirebrands you actually mentioned specifically Federal, Achilles, Kenda, and now Nankang.

    The Kenda I saw here in our place breached the P3,000 budget threshold. Around 10T kasi pinaglalaan ko for the 4 tires. Medyo pasok ang Federal. Di ko pa natanong Achilles. The Nankang looks interesting.

    Did ask around our place..no Achilles nor Nankang...but there's Wanli though and its the cheapest among the bunch.

    Wanli's are made in China...medyo mabenta na rin daw..worth it ba ito? Or will I be better served with the Federals? 300 peso price difference per tire po (P1,200 for the 4 na). Both tires cost below P3,000/tire.

    GT Champiro 50 and BF Goodrich G-Sport are priced around P3,000/each in our place. The Yoko S-drive at P3,400.

    From the above, what's the "best bang for the buck"?.

    Need your inputs please. Not familiar with the threadwear, traction rating, etc.
