All New 2017 Mazda 3

yun friend ko na may tireshop may sabi na di daw matibay sidewall ng dunlop. pero bukol lang ang reklamo, not cracked. so baka tama sabi ni bro SE
unless religiously inflated and cold lagi everytime hanginan, baka yun na nga cause, under inflation.

Regularly checked my tires every week or so kaya nakakapagtaka? Had just inflated it a week ago and there werent any visible cracks then... It only went underinflated for a total of 2 weeks when we went on a vacation.... mostly on 33 psi btw.

Gantong ganto nangyari sa isang Dunlop Sportsmaxx ko after 4yrs+. Sabi sa akin common daw yun sa low profile tires like our M3s.

Yung unang palit ko after 3 yrs nung bumukol yung sidewall nung Dunlop most likely nun nalubak ako sa may pampanga tapos medyo mabilis takbo. 35 psi palagi yung tire pressure ko and every 2 weeks ako nagpapahangin.

Currently gamit ko na ngayon 2 pcs Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 and 2 pcs Michelin Primacy 4ST

Doc, hindi kaya nalubak ng matindi M3 mo nung underinflated? How many passengers?

I usually use 36 psi regardless of load but with all these very bad road conditions around Quezon city, I've increased the tire pressure to 41psi front and 45 at the rear.

Usually am the lone passenger since i need to go to pasay then taguig for rounds before heading home to qc. Had recently encountered a pothole that I wasnt able to notice but it was on the passenger (right) side. The cracked wheels were both frnt and rear left side....

Age & some models(not all) of some brands have been seen to have that happen more than others. Been on 33 for the longest time on the 225/40/19s PHIs....they just went bald from usage w/o any sign of sidewall failure. Now on an old set of S-Drives for the past 7k kms. Same size & pressure.

225/45 is more common w/ lotsa options than 215/45 here. A tad wider & taller....rides better.[emoji4]
