all-season tires selection for SUVs

阿邊個邊個

Hi guys...

it is time to get new tires.. mine are worn out... VERY worn out... in fact they are really smooth (my superior saw my car parked out front and suggested me to get new tires, hahahaha)

i have been doing some digging, what about other brands such as Uniroyal? are they good? i dun need high-end, high-performance stuff... just the ones that needs for everyday city driving...is this brand worth trusting?

any volunteered information would be great!!! thanks!

Did some more research, and it seems like the Goodyear Fortera TripleTred is also an excellent SUV/CUV tire. In particular, the tire's wet and winter performance seems to be quite good. The down side is, it is quite an expensive tire.

Fountain Tire is doing a fall promotion right now until Oct 24. The 4-for-3 promo doesn't seem to apply to this Fortera TripleTred tire, but there is still a small discount on it.

換呔唔一定要去tire shop，普通車房一樣可次幫你定，不過一定要揾多幾間格價，我試過換米芝蓮Pilot Exalto,一條居然可以相差五十幾蚊！另外車房話我知換呔唔一定要做Aligment，只要架車無異樣和無省呔就得，一百蚊都 ...

價好多時候要格, 不過平果間唔一定好, 一間如果有一set呔擺左好耐賣唔出, 又或者佢自己/佢知有地方"overstock"左好多貨, 又或者一間部機2萬一間部機3千, 種種因素下都有可能做成價格上既差異 (不過當然, 比多D又唔一定就等如好, 最好梗係口啤啦)

至於alignment, 冇咩我唔會去做, 換得新呔我反而會一定做(反而覺得想佢耐用D), 幾年做一次alignment都唔係好過份jei, 再講, 冬天咁多pot hole, 整左十年車做耐都冇廿架係唔駛較既, 係off左幾多既jei, 再日積月累, 唔好講到你發覺省呔已經太遲, 日日四個轆都去緊唔同方向(不過個軑盤係真係可以仲係直既) 既晒油, 連個brake都冇咁"應", 總之我就覺得做左心安理得...

btw, 如果你真係咁好彩冇野要較, 有一樣野叫wheel alignment check?! 好似都係$50? 如果真係有野要較, 比多少少都抵? 要等到好明顯有問題既時候好多野又會唔會遲左D呢?：）

我覺得似係間車房自己冇alignment機, 幫你攞去做alignment又冇咩錢賺, 叫你攞去邊間邊間到時候連個客都冇埋, 所以冇咩梗係"肥水不流別人田"啦 LOL
