Suzuki Ertiga - 7 seater MPV

[RomeoAlpha]

as per door recommendation, 29 psi 2-4 pax then 5-7 pax 32 psi ata.. so kung nag 32-psi then next ride mo eh 2 lang ang sakay including driver- kelangan ba ibaba ulit sa 29psi?

i do not own an ertiga, pero as per sir Niky shared, stay on the full load pressure or a bit more. i think 35 psi is fair enough.

try 32 and 35 so that you can feel the difference in comfort (if there is really any).

For me why 35? because, we know air inside our tire at some point in time escapes and will reduce the tire pressure. so at 35psi say after two weeks it will only drop until like around 30 to 32 psi - which is still on the safe side.

pero kung say, 30psi pag bumaba 26 to 28 psi, masyado nang mababa yung pressure ng tire at mas damaging (para sa akin kasi mabilis maupod) at mas malakas sa gas (due to added friction).

hope this help, Sir.

It's up to you, but personally, I'd either leave it at 32 or even pump it up a bit to 35 psi.

Moderately higher pressures make for more comfortable and less fidgety driving on the highway. Worked with the Jimny I drove the other week (door sticker said 26-29. I used 35).

yes ser...salamat sa input..
next time, pang full load psi na papalagay ko

OK ser, will do next time..

Me nag post din na nag-iinflate ang tires while running- totoo ba yon?

[kalayo]

Actually para kay Sir Kalayo, I think you were the one asking me the other day, sorry if I did not answer your questions properly or that I was in a hurry because I think your approach was way to aggressive, since you approach me while I was coming out with my son from his school and ask me if I own the Ertiga? Para kasing carnapper or kidnapper yung pagkatanong pasencya na bro! I have to be on the defensive side since I was with my son.regarding sa tint if mag pa pa Vkool ka it would cost more, called 3M distributor sa CDO cost 5500 for the whole car, sa casa 4400 on top sa free tint mo. you can order leather seats at handyman for 8500. Happy driving!

yes! bro, ako yong nagtatanong. no worries. my wife also told me na even her also do as what u did kasi ewas na baka masama. na excite lang ako nong nadaanan kita at hinabol e nawala pumasok pala sa school kaya nag aabang ako sa labas. misis ko lang kasi taga rito kaya nagtatanong ako.
e papaano kasi mukha ko di mapagkatiwalaan. I went to isuzu, toyota, chevrolet, and mitsubishi inisnab talaga ako ng mga agents except sa ford na sinundan ako. hahahah. sorry din bro sa approach ko.

Goood. 2 weeks ata ako ndi naka log in dito and ang haba na ng thread. try to back read pag me time.

question guys. kelangan ba maka 1000 kms within a month para ma break in or is it ok na hindi? sa pagkakaintindi ko sa manual 1000kms = 1month. idk. nasa 560kms palang si niklaus. kelangan ko na ata siya itakbo ng malayo..

1000 KM or 1 month whichever comes first

Yes. As the tire deforms, it heats up. As it heats up, the pressure increases. Eventually the temperature and pressure stabilize.

The reason most safety authorities recommend higher pressures than back in the 80's and 90's is that low-pressure tires heat up more... because they deform more... and the excessive pressure swings and heat cycling makes the tires degrade faster.

Side note: always measure pressure and add air with the tires "cold" or close to cold.

clear explanation sir...i'm now informed..:thumbup: tnx tnx

clear explanation sir...i'm now informed..:thumbup: tnx tnx

just to provide example, i left cavite around 10am last Tuesday January 20, 2014 and forgot to have my tire pressures to be checked. arrived in Balintawak around 1230pm, then went to Project 6, then go back to trinoma. on my way home, gas up at sea oil, and (A) have my tire pressures checked and added air. all good, all at 35psi.

yesterday, on my way home napansin ko ung tire ko, parang masyadong nakadapa and not of the usual. so again pressure check - surprisingly it is around 30psi with less than 3kms on the road, fill it up until 35psi (B) again.

(A) is a warm since i already traveled around more or less 80kms during the hottest time of the day and (B) is cold or close to cold.

hope this add more context Sir.

Steel rims kasi mas malambot compared sa alloy wheels. Kaya pag nadali ka ng matinditinding lubak at na deform and steel rims mo, singaw hangin nyan. Recommended talaga upgrade sa mags, maporma na mas matibay pa. Di mo mapapansin difference nyan sa fc dahil magaan din ang alloy rims.

Thank you Sir Kopiman, what's the best mags for ertiga? Incase may GLX/GL owner na nagpalit na ng mags, benta niyo po dito. TIA

Wow, cold pala dapat. I didn't know that.

Salamat sa info

thanks *niky and *RomeoAlpha sa mga tips... laking tulong neto

for *kalayo, here's my retro-fitted seat cover done in Lapasan, CDO (NMRS).

HI Guys, ok ba ang Nitro air? TIA

[maruti]

higher tire pressure means less rolling resistance for the tires therefore more mileage. i'm using nitro nd not compressed air (no change of pressure even when there's a temperature change). 32 psi infront and 38psi at d back as recommended by d door sticker for full load. d only drawback is 1 can feel some bumps 4d passengers at d back. aside from that its ok man.

Follow the door. If you want to save a bit more gas, leave the tire pressures on the door recommendation for "full load", or even a bit more, if your tires are built for it... whatever you're comfortable with.

28-29 psi was common back in the old days, but is no longer recommended by most manufacturers due to the dangers of catastrophic tire failure due to overheating (it takes a long time and a lot of overloading for this to happen... but better safe than sorry).

[maruti]

got mine filled w/ nitro for 60pesos per tire. auv daw ertiga kc 50pesos lang s car nd motorcycle. bridgestone regalado ave me ngpapalagay ng nitro. free na un fill ups pg medyo malambot.

Thanks Maruti. btw. using Nitro do you still felt lambot ng shock ni Erti natin?
