hi all. hope everyone had a great week.

i wonder if any of you experienced this. one of my tires had to be replaced late last year. so i purchased one new tire in alabang, installed it in the front along with my unused spare. both are michelin energy though tread designs are different.

since then may ugong yung front ko beginning 80kph. i had ansons pasay road take a look at it. ang diagnosis nila the left wheel bearing needs to be replaced na. right wheel has no problem.

taka ako sa sabi ng tech nila: i shouldnt have installed tires of different tread designs daw.

alam ko this rule is for used tires (kasi a long long time ago wala ako pambili ng bagong gulong

) but two new tires?

your thoughts please.

hmmm..baka nagkataon lang sir. eto try ko, the fact that you had to replace the tire meant that the bearing (in that tire) might be damaged na in the first place? comments pips...bago sa pandinig ko 'to ah.

paul, gaganda! sana kaya din dito! so far airfilter pa lang mod ko. taking it one at a time since i still have another car undergoing restoration pa. stage 1 muna sana ako pre, i-h-e...balak ko pagawa headers sa fusion r, medyo mahal pero i'm sure naman of the quality. dati 15k quote sakin, ewan ko lang ngayon, since that was last year pa. na try mo na pumunta tireboy? meron dun steinmetz daw ah.

**paulopel** · April 10th, 2005 09:05 AM

Tama yung headers para sa astra, wish ko rin magaya ung sa site na binigay ko kaso mahal dito eh, sure ako sa fusion r, pre after nun palagay ka muffler exhaust "TANABE G MEDALLION" un yung name. Nangaling na ako sa steinmeitz ayos may body kit mga gulong tsaka kung ano ano. Merong Brabus at Brahmann di ko alam kung tama ang spelling nito.
