    I usually go for Bridgestone, Yokohoma and Goodyear.

    I love the Toyo Proxes but they're hard to find.

    Try DKC Tire Center if you're from the Cubao or Marikina area. 421-3547 (Cubao) and 475-4205 (Marikina). Been going to them since the late 1990s and they would always give us a fair deal.

    Huh Dunlops not ok? IMO Dunlops are one of the best tires manufacturers, especially those high performance line they have (Direzza). They are widely used on motorsports. But as much as possible get those that are still made from Japan.

    the DUNLOPS are now manufactured in THAILAND as adviced by DKC tires...the LE MANS line of DUNLOP was the one being offered at 7100 each

    FALKEN is a JAPAN brand....by sumitomo rubber....
