    Sir totoo po na yung sidewall ng dunlop ay medyo mahina compared sa bridgestone. Pero kung sa pudporan mas matibay siya sa Bstone. Ginawa siguro nila ganyan para mas ok ride quality. Iwas lang na mabutas gilid.

    Go for the Best Brands! Go for Yokohama, Bridgestone, BFGoodrich, Dunlop, Falken, and Toyo. The best for grip and daily driving are tires from yokohama, bridgestone and dunlop. The other brands are expensive but offers great performance.

    dati puro japanese brands lang din ako, but i tried a set of kumho last year for a savings of around 1,300 petot per tire. . .so far so good. . .okay sa braking, okay din naman ang grip kahit basa ang kalye

    about them chinese brands, it will take time pa siguro bago ko sila subukin

    ive used dunlop, bridgestone, goodyear, federal, triangle, cooper, and a host of other tires. Now im using sunny tires (china) - okay naman ang performance, mura by 50% versus the same size na bridgestone. Di naman maingay or matigas.

    Per my experience goodyear (assurance model) is very good in terms of performance, but madaling maupod.

    Kung hindi hinahataw yung rig, pupuwede na china tires kapag kapos talaga sa budget. Pero kung nagagamit paminsan-minsan sa hataw or loaded car, IMO delikado. 2 na alam ko na pumutok ang china made tires in highspeed runs. Buti sa likod at hindi s harap. Bengkong ang rim at putol yung ibang studs.

    Personal experience ko baligtad, mabilis maubos ang Dunlop, Bridgestones malaki ang lamang sa mileage. Pero parang mas comfy nga ang Dunlop in general ride-wise. Problem sa China tires hindi consistent ang quality.

    Dueller AT 694 yung Bridgestone na nasubukan ko at Dunlop Grandtrek AT3 at AT2. Yung AT2 ng Dunlop pareho lang halos ng Bridgestone sa performance. Yung AT3 ang medyo mas tumagal. Nag-iba kaya ng compound? Sabagay minsan ko pa lang nasusubukan eh. tagal din talaga mapudpod since most of the time eh sa city lang naman.

    favorite ng mga vans dito sa amin na pang-tour or shuttle service. Mura nga kasi at matibay din naman but hindi gaanong tumatagal vs branded tires. But for its price, siguro in the ling run pareho lang but at least mas mababa ang initial cost of investment kaya mabenta.

    Nankang (Taiwan) and Gajah Tunggal (Indonesia). Both are dependable and durable yet budget-friendly.

    Kabibili ko lang netong dalawang brands na to, yung Forceum (Indonesia) ok din. Nasubukan ko to sa lumang Starex namin at saka sa Gen2 CRV ng wife ko.

    ako nasubukan ko na din Runway ok din bilib din ako tumagal sya, kahit nag overloading pa ako sa lancer singkit... warning lang: be careful kayo sa mga tireblack ng carwash station lalo na yung clear malamang silicon based ito,,, magiging malutong ang sidewall nito it owuld best to buy your own non-silicon base tireblack.

    Nakabili ako ng Apollo tires(185/R14 8ply) na gawang India for our service vehicle dito sa office, cost us 3k each. Mukhang ok naman, ito rin ang gamit ng mga GT express AUV's and vans.

    im currently using kumho ecsta spt for over a year now

    road noise tolerance is better than of nankang's

    sidewall design is good

    grip is commendable

    if it's worth the price? subjective

    some korean car makers ( esp. hyundai ) use kumho solus as their stock tires

Low budget yet good quality tires
