Advisable ba sa kd engine yung 5w-40 na specs (fully synthetic)?

The left are the stock Bridgestone dueler ATs mounted on the rim while the right side is the Radar Renegade RT+ unmounted. Oversize sya, looks like kasize na nya 265/70r17 instead of 265/65/17.

stance looks better and it filled the wheel well better.

I like the stance and planning to get one in the future as well, meron bang hindi maingay or is it really the trade off across tire brands?

No idea on the treadwear but will let you know. Cant find specs also on what the starting tread is if its like 12 or 13mm thickness.

Mud tire treadwear seems to be seldom stamped.
I've tried Thai Radar, Deestone; Taiwanese Nankangs & Feds; Indo GT, Accelera...All good value tires. Looking like a very good choice there.[emoji106]....Do share us long term, sir. Searched 285/75/16 RT+ near me...none found.....only 265s.

i vaguely remember, there was a pre-existing alitan between the two motorists...
if this is true, then it's not road rage as we understand it, but something else, i.e., attempted murder, attempted etc...

Would you guys have any pics of the fortuner in a 2” lift but stock size 265/65/17 tires? Looking at getting a lift in the near future but unsure if the current tire size will be enough or will look too small.

Looking at the current stance, lifting would make em tires look mini...just my 2cents, though. Lifts, generally, do that. Drops, the opposite.

True. Was just wondering how small it will look and if it would still be okay hehe.

I guess I’ll just stick first to shocks. Maybe tjm or TD

What are the best suspension brands for improving the ride of the Fortuner?

I was wondering the same thing honestly. My friend got tough dogs but its 50k++ pesos for just shocks alone. But he swears by it that ride improved alot.

Another friend got tein endurapro plus on his new monty and says its the best as well.

Parepareho lang ung mga high end shocks like TD, TJM, and dobinsons more or less, even OME and Ironman.

Wag lang siguro ung mga ridemax or profender but not sure din personally. Dami nagsabi maganda, dami nagsabi na no diff, madami din nagsabi na nasira sakanila, but its cheap i think around 12-15k for 4 na.

The cheapest and most effective option is to buy a sack of rice and place it in the back. Replace pag naubos ung bigas. [emoji28]

Also researching on this pero can't seem to find decent comparisons:

Bilstein
OME
Ridemax/Profender
Ironman
Toughdogs

Actually naisip ko rin if makakamura ka by getting better shocks sa likod and leaving the stock front shocks as is -- yung likod lang naman yung medyo jittery.

Do stores allow this?

May mga nagsabi sakin di daw effective bilstein for its reputation. Pero ewan if true yan.

Dont do the half half na iba man. Mas mabilis masira ung oem mo dahil iba dampening rates nila.

i don't think changing the rear shocks will have a huge impact on the front shocks. they will still do their job of absorbing

[hdj80]

Btw, what is a better option to do at this point. Change the stock rims to a Rota Trail R 17x8 with a e10 offset (stock i believe is just 17x7.5 e25) for better handling (i think?) or switch shocks to the Tein endurapro plus? The rims are 35k the teins are a bit cheaper.

Lower offset, wider track, lesser unsprung weight will have some felt benefits on handling, response & aesthetics...but none as significantly felt as having better dampers.
My experience was w/ Koni FSD/Special Actives on compacts & short-stroke suspension vehicles. Not sure how Tein EP+ relatively compares though. I'd suggest hopping on a similar car w/ such a setup to help the discernment
....Or....submit to the tempting & do both.[emoji4] We know you'll really be happier. You'll be helping the economy, too![emoji106][emoji120][emoji4]

Hehehe thank you sir for the feedback.

The Teins are supposedly an OEM upgrade with better and more aggressive dampening thats adjustable with hydraulic bumpstomps.

Yan na muna but susunod ko rims. Di pwede sabay sabay magagalit si misis [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]
