Well, let's see. FC is just the same. Noise, is another story altogether. Mas maingay na with a clean K&N, kahit drop in lang. Alam mong humihigop. Even the wife noticed. Shempre I had to play dumb. Sabi ko na lang baka kasi malinis yung filter, bagong palit eh. Totoo naman!

As to the performance, halos parehas lang naman sa low end. What I noticed though is once you reach the 90 kph and up range, the more gusto niyang humataw, gustong kumawala. I haven't done a flat out speed run on the Skyway yet, though I doubt I can top the 190 kph I tried there bonestock some time ago.

Palit tires this month.

Hankook RA08 yung sa amin dati. Nga lang, those were used for less than a year then replaced with 18s, so I can't comment on their durability. Mag-18s ka na! ;)

Haha, walang pang budget.
Anyway, hindi ba sacrificed ang load?

Well depends on how much you load. Kung sagaran, medyo bawas ang load capacity. Kung di naman laging puno, ok lang.

For me pangit ang RA08 At Nexen, yung akin naka Nexen mga 10k lang ang tinakbo oblong na agad, yung sa nanay ko Hankook RA08 ganun din. Nung pinalitan yung sa nanay ko Yokohama Geolandar nabili namin kaso parang ambilis naman mapudpod. Ang ok na gulong na nagamit ko sa lumang Starex namin dati yung Bridgestone R623 kaso wala atang Size pang GS yun.

Yung Kumho di ko alam, pero yung Benz ko na naka Kumho Ecsta ayos na ayos.

Kakasya ba na walang rubbing issues sa grand starex yung ganito?
225 75 16 load index 110 speed index S KUMHO KL51
Hindi naman ako siguro aabot ng 180 since may mga kasamang bata palagi.
Load index ang napansin kong ayos.

Whoa! That's at least about 1.5" bigger overall compared to stock. Pang-SUV na yung sukat. You might get some rubbing issues, best to test.

Ok nga yung R623 dati. Had that on our old Gen 1s. Better na siguro yung mabilis maupod, at least nasulit mo yung kapit, kesa yung makapal pa pero na-oblong naman.

Ok ty. Natanong ko lang kasi parang wala akong masyadong makita na alternative sa ra08 na stock. Although matagal pa naman magpapalit, naisip ko lang para kung dumating ang oras ay alam ko na kung ano pwede

-------edit------
Mnag google ako at ito naman nakita ko na bridgestone r623

Bridgestone R623 (215/70R16C)
215
70

Kaso ang problema sa australia sya. Meron kaya dito niyan?

Since matagal pa naman ang pag palit mo ng goma, try doing the rounds as well to check for the R623. The 215/70r16 is not a common tire size locally, especially because of the GS's load requirements, hence the tires you'll find are those that were traded-in, or perhaps from those guys who bring in same brand tires (i.e. Nexen, Hankook, Kumho, etc.) Hopefully, because of that large GS market, we get more tire options in the future. Preferably non-Korean tires. 3 na silang andito.
