Best Mid-Priced Tires

[_Cathy_]

In general tires (whether kalbo na or hindi) lasts 5-6 years kasi rubber hardens over time. Kaya nga diba if you buy new tires its very important to see what the manufacturing date printed on the tire is. Ako din recently I bought a tire for my Lexie and I watched out for the manufacturing date. Its that number as shown in the picture below...



First two digits is the week and the last two digits is the year so the tire I bought was manufactured in the 2nd week of 2014 so bago pa. Basta try to get the newest tires that you possible can...

Kasi you might be getting an old-unused tire sitting in the warehouse rather than a real new tire...

My opinion is there is no need to get expensive tires sayang lang sa pera mga nasa P3500-P5000 level ayos na yan. I suggest Federal Tires very good price/performance.

What's acceptable na age ng tire. If I buy now, basta 2014 okay na?

Yep maskin 2013 should be ok... Syempre the newer the better. Don't accept anything that is more than 2 years old kasi lugi ka lang...

I don't know about the car tires, but the SUV tires like Michelin at S&R are mostly old stocks. Labels falling off or dirty or even turning yellow.

Mine also last only 40k kms. Goodyear ang brand... pero Meron ako nabile.. sa focus ko (size16)... 3.2k lang made in china.. compare sa stock mas mataas and load rating na kinuha ko... I already run it in excess of 140kph countless time.. and may time semi hard cornering pa.. more than 1year na din sakin yun. Pero nasa 8k km's. Palang natatakbo...
For me.. if made in china yung tires I'll be getting nalang at least the next higher load rating.. and a higher threadwear 320up. (para matagal mapudpod). and temperature A.. (iwas sabog)..
Hindi ko naman ginagamit sa offroad and racing yan.. Tapos backup car Lang... bakit naman ako bibile ng mamahalin..

Imo parepareho lang ang tires kung nasa 2-3k lang ang difference.. yung brand nalang ang binabayaran Mo Dyan...

Sakin Lang kung nagtitipid get the cheap but known china tires w. A higher load rating... or wag ka na magtipid bilhin Mo yung mahal at magandang model ng tires na may pangalan na.

go for yokohama kung concern mo is price at the same time performance

kung tibay talaga hanap mo go for michellin or bridgestone kaso mahal nga lang..

kung performance naman as in uber kapit na tires go for nitto kaso medyo maingay lang sa road base sa own experience ko sa car ko

I prefer mid range tires. These are the prices available for 195 65 R15 at JIGA Evangelista:

Bridgestone - P3900
Michelin - P4300
Yokohama - P3900
Dunlop - P3600
GT - P3300
Federal - P2700
Newton - P3100

Now I am deciding among Bridgestone, Michelin and Yokohama. They don't carry Toyo and Kumho. May phobia na ko sa cheap tires. I had a tire blow out back in college Gajah Tungcal yung brand.

Yokohama G902 for montero is more expensive than Bridgestone dueller

Since when has Nitto been better than Michelin or Bridgestone?

Dito lang sa Pilipinas mataas tingin sa Nitto (kudos to their marketing guys). Most probably because their tires have fancy tread patterns, which people love to pair with their 20" rims. But fancy tread is not equal to stellar performance.

Also, locally, Nitto doesn't have tires for Cathy's size. They focus specifically on bling-bling SUV/pickup owners.

Bakit walang nakalagay na manufactured date sa tires ko? Stock tires sa Accent Hatch - Kumho Solus. Tiningnan ko yung sidewall ng tire, wala ako nakikita. Kahit sa westlake ng tito ko, wala nakalagay sa sidewall. Yung E4 XXXXXX, lang yung napapansin ko.
