    If you're unsure about Saffiro due to a previous experience, the Nitto tires are still within price range. In fact even brands such as Toyo and Bridgestone go for around K per tire when i check online for a brand new piece. Shell out 45K for rims and you're still below the 100K budget.

    That's the hard thing at times pag blowout, to determine if the cause was a tire failure or a mix with something external that went unnoticed. Had a similar incident with Pirelli tires on my Frontier many years ago (no load, low speed and the tire never had any damage prior), I wasn't the one driving or riding the vehicle when it happened so i couldn't determine the real cause and out of precaution, we changed all tires to a new set of Bridgestone ATs. Now it's a habit for me to visually inspect tires and the tire pressure often.

    On our LC, it had a blowout on NLEX before (Bridgestone Dueler HT) and the cause was attributed to age (medyo worn na) and relatively low tire pressure when we checked all tires.

    This past few weeks I feel the lagging of our Fort. Then I saw this & tempted to buy & install it. Does it really work?

    One thing for sure, my warranty will be void. But I've noticed Plug 'n Play lang siya hindi ba mahahalata ng casa?

    I don't think you need those. Fortuner has an eco mode and Power Mode.

    I never use the Eco parang hirap si makina. I only use Power mode in a fast-pace situation like overtaking in highway. I usually prefer the regular mode kaya lang kasi may times nagla-lag siya that's when you press the gas the revo goes up but there's like almost a second delay before it accelerates. Anybody experienced this, too?

    Are you suddenly pressing the gas pedal? I think thats normal for a suv.

    It'll work . . . but is that redundant with our power and eco mode buttons?

    Yes I do! If that's really normal then am I expecting too much of our Fort? I don't know galing kasi ako from Altis & Innova with manual trans.

    Is your innova the 2kd one? If yes mas matagal nga delay niyan pag nag full throttle ka bigla if icocompare mo sa fortuner

    Seems I was misunderstood or maybe I just brought the wrong pie because what I really up to is to address the lagging or poor (quite) responsiveness of our Fort so I thought installation of the "booster/chip" could help.
