i'm using Achilles Platinum Tires now, bago lang. bought last wednesday, 4 pieces. made in indonesia. Rating is traction: AA, comfort: AA, treadwear is A.

website here: http://www.americanpacificindustries.com/c...uct_id=PLATINUM

 

Pro:

Dirt Cheap. Costs 2,400 each.

Very quiet and comfort ride.

Traction: good for dry surface. I have not tried it yet sa wet surface.

Sporty thread looks.

 

Cons: wala pa akong nakikita.

 

Tires That I've Used Before

 

Yokohama S306

Pro: Price Is Reasonable

Cons: mabilis mapudpod. Kinda noisy

 

Federal Tire (i forgot the variant)

Pro: cheap

Cons: kinda less grippy on wet surfaces, mabilis maupod. On correct camber, i wore out the thread in two years. (now i know why this tire is being used for drifting events)

 

Goodyear NCT3

Pro: cheap

Cons: ang ingay. ang bilis bumukol ng sidewalls.

 

Bridgestone Turanza (forgot the variant)

 

Pro: reasonable cost

Right now im using Nankang NS2 on 205/40/17 - 3 years ko na sya gamit and until now parang bago paren, although i only use my car for short distance and not everyday.

 

I've used other brands as well.

 

For 205/40/17 -

 

Continental - Sobrang tigas ng gulong na ito, at tibay ang sidewall nito, i recommend using this tire although pricey sya. They even had a hard time putting my rims into these tire sa sobrang tigas ng sidewall. As for threadlife, i may not know, binenta ko kasi agad with my rims before.

 

Dunlop - Used it for only 5 months at naupod agad. no problems with my camber and allignment. Although i've used them everyday when i went to skul from nova to taft.

 

For 195/55/15 -

 

Yokohama S306 - Im not that satisfied, madali maupod ang mga thread and maingay at parang matagtag para sa akin.

 

Dunlop Formula - Best i've used for my 15's, good for racing and daily drives, matagal maupod and thread at makapit.

 

Advan Neova AD07 - Though years back iba ang thread design, you might compare this to a slick tires, mabilis maupod and not for daily use, good for racing, alot of grip but that depends on your engine, baka mag bog ka lang kapag hindi mo gamay.

 

For 185/60-65/14

 

Goodyear Ducaro - The only brand i've used for my 14's and nothing else, i had 2 to 3 years of thread with proper alignment and camber of your car. Comfort, threadlife and price are balance.

 

For 185/55.2/14

 

Advan - I've used this tire for racing only and not for daily drive, lots of grip and i mean it. Hard to find and very rare. Nabili ko sya when someone imported it directly from Japan. Nakalimutan ko na kasi kung anong series sya. I will attach a pic kung ano itsura nya. Thread design parang pang traktora hehe.

kung tibay ang hanap go for PIRELLI and DUNLOP brands...

 

kung para sa 4x4 try nyo ung WILD JUNGLE offroad wheels o Toyo...

 

kung overall performance at reliability try nyo bridgestone saka michellin...

 

kung tipid pero ok naman...GT saka yokohama...

 

my personal fave and the one that i use...BRIDGESTONE POTENZA GIII...may kamahalan at 4K a piece pero super sulit kasi sama sama na yung magagandang characteristics ng halos lahat ng gulong na yan
