Ouch! Ang mahal nga!! Is it ok po ba to use different brand? Hindi naman makaka affect sa performance? S&R yun po ba yung parang macro sir vinj? Thanks po sa responses. Im not that familiar kasi 1st car ko rin wala pa ko masyado experience.

Am one of those who shifted from Dunlop SP01s to Kumho Ecstas. Completely satisfied with the Ecstas. Only gripe probably is that makapal yung sidewall niya compared to other tires of the same size (205/55R16) but that's minor.

Super hindi worth it mag-SP01 pag replacement. Even the CASA suggests the cheaper Dunlop LM703 instead.

How many tyres are you getting? One piece only (for the spare)?

If you're going to use the tyre, better to always change by pairs (left and right front or left and right rear) at least. You can then put one of your used tyres as a spare. If all your road tyres are good and even, then just get the one piece new one for the spare.
