Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

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.

Mahal no? Sayang you missed on the pads of cjv_justice... kahit pakabit mo lang sa gas station or sa suking mekaniko mo.

Bili ka na ng new Corolla come December/January. :D

ang mahal talga ng new pads! hassle talga...that's what you get from not finding time to do it... on the tires, the potenza RE02 adrenalins are just 5,200/tire for the size of the V model wheels... but im still contemplating on what to buy... haha kaya pa siguro ng 500KMs ang tires.....

Stop contemplating. Go for the Toyo DRBs na... higher thread wear rating versus the RE002s.



These were the DRBs from the Vios after 45-50K kms.

Thanks sir vinj! I made up my mind for this toyo drb. Will get one soon as my spare! any recommended shops to purchase this tire?

Parang okay nga yung Potenza RE002 but it has a much lower treadwear rating than other tires near its price range. I wonder how much better the grip is though, since it seems to be leaning heavily towards the performance market than the regular car owner.

As much as I value performance, I wouldn't want my tires to wear out in half the time that other tires would.

Nope... not really.

Thanks for the reply sir vinj. How to determine if needed na i-paundercoat and how to check kung na apply maayus yun undercoat?

usually you'll see the OEM undercoating already (similar color to the car). Best to do it also during the hot season IMO.
