Thread: Bata Slap: Požganih gume Sienna?

Mike piše: ninaaa,
Vsepovsod je vroča tema za vas, in B & B. Imam LE 2006 Sienna (pogon na sprednja kolesa), ki je bil absolutno neprebojni in zanesljiv za zadnjih 140k milj, razen pnevmatike. Jaz prost dostop vse sezone v poletnih in zimskih pnevmatik na ločenih kolesih pozimi. Vozimo približno 10 k milj v poletje in še 5-7k v zimskem času. Živimo v prst jezer NY.
Ta stvar poje pnevmatike, ki sem dal na to.
Sem vzel par Cooper CS4s off sprednji strani, ki imajo manj kot 11 k milj na njih in so popolnoma izrabljena. Lahko dobite tri sezone iz niza 4 zimskih pnevmatik, vendar poletja nikoli ne traja več kot eno sezono na sprednji strani. Sem dobil 20k ali tako milj od sklop 4. Poravnavo je dober in obrabe je zelo celo. Rotacijski pnevmatike ne spremeni obrabo pnevmatik, to samo zamude. Skoraj vse obrabe se pojavi, ko pnevmatika je na sprednji.
Ive teči Firestone FR710, navdušen Touring Yokohama, Dunlop SP, Cooper Lifeliner; in Cooper CS4. Vsi so indeks 98. Odobrena, ne najdražja pnevmatika off omaro, ampak ali ultra drage miljo visoko pnevmatike res zadnji ki veliko dlje? Vse pnevmatike, ki Ive kupite imajo garancijo 60 k milj ali tako. V CS4 je 80k.
To je težka vozila (nič mini, o tem van); moj brat pošalil, da morda sem morala teči LT pnevmatike na njej. Tako Im začuden, naj zamenjam za pnevmatike, ki se tržijo za SUV? Pnevmatike v isti velikosti imajo indeks nosilnosti 102, tako morda theyd ročaj teža bolje in trajajo dlje? Stanejo tudi 50 % več; bo trajajo 50 % več?
Vem, da vsakdo ima svoje mnenje o pnevmatike, morda eden od B & B bo Zrno Im išče.
hvala
Mike

Hudiča, če moj 3200-ish lb Ford Ranger je LT pnevmatike (ki nosijo kot železo, še vedno išče nove po 20.000 km) zakaj ne jih na kombi, ki tehta 1000 + lbs več??? Če so vleko, nosijo veliko tovora, itd, potem morda LT pnevmatike so dobra ideja.
Sem podrezal okoli TireRack.com in našel LTs za oba 16 ali 17 zahtevki za podobne količine denarja kot njihovega vozila bratje in sestre.
Ampak eno vprašanje ostaja: umoriti tlaka. So vam polnjenje lastniki ročne specifikacije? So vedno uporabljate isti profil? Ali ste 100 % prepričani, da širina je še vedno točni? Sem se naučila zaupati ne stari merilniki na težji način, ko slabo voltmeter (20 + let) in alternatorja težave s Forda (in Doživljenjska garancija delov) od leta 1990 ganged do laž mi na najbolj prepričljiv način.
Potem spet, Ive padel gluplji, veliko bolj očitne laži. Življenju preprosto voljne razveljavi- in celo z TPMS v mislih-bi to lahko bila težava?
Kupiti nov merilnik, poceni tistih (s koncem super priročno magnetni) storitev Counter Wal-Mart/Autozone bo zadostovalo. Če merilniki ne leži, nato pa dobil nekaj LT pnevmatike.
Off za vas, najboljše in najpametnejše.

Heres a hot topic for you and the B&B. I have a 2006 Sienna LE (front wheel drive) that has been absolutely bulletproof and reliable for the past 140k miles, except for the tires. I run all seasons in the summer and winter tires on separate wheels in the winter. We drive about 10k miles in the summer and another 5-7k in the winter. We live in the Finger Lakes region of NY.
This thing eats any tire that I put on it.
I just took a pair of Cooper CS4s off the front that have less than 11k miles on them and they are completely worn out. I can get three seasons out of a set of 4 winter tires but the summers never last more than one season on the front. I get 20k or so miles from a set of 4. The alignment is good and the wear is very even. Rotating the tires doesnt change the tire wear, it just delays it. Almost all of the wear occurs when the tire is on the front.
Ive run Firestone FR710, Yokohama Avid Touring, Dunlop SP, Cooper Lifeliner; and Cooper CS4. They all are load index 98. Granted these arent the most expensive tire off the rack but do the ultra expensive high mile tires really last that much longer? All of the tires that Ive purchased have a warranty of 60k miles or so. The CS4 is 80k.
It is a heavy vehicle (nothing mini about this van); my brother joked that maybe I should run LT tires on it. So Im wondering, should I switch to tires that are marketed for SUVs? Tires in the same size have a load index of 102 so maybe theyd handle the weight better and last longer? They also cost 50% more; will they last 50% longer?
I know everyone has an opinion about tires, perhaps one from the B&B will be the nugget Im looking for.
Thanks,
Mike

Sajeev answers:
Hell, if my 3200-ish lb Ford Ranger has LT tires (that wear like iron, still looking new after 20,000 miles) why not put them on a minivan that weighs 1000+lbs more??? If you are towing, carry a lot of cargo, etc. then perhaps LT tires are a good idea.
I poked around TireRack.com and found LTs for both the 16″ or 17″ applications for similar amounts of cash as their passenger car brethren.
But one question remains: tire pressure. Are you inflating to owners manual specifications? Have you always used the same gauge? Are you 100% sure that gauge is still accurate? I learned to not trust old gauges the hard way when a bad voltmeter (20+ years old) and the alternator problems with Fords (and lifetime warranty parts) from the 1990s ganged up to lie to me in a most convincing way.
Then again, Ive fallen for dumber, far more obvious lies. My easily malleable life aside–and even with TPMS in mind–could this be the problem?
Buy a new gauge, the cheap ones (with the super handy magnetic end) at the service counter of Wal-Mart/Autozone will suffice. If the gauges arent lying, then get some LT tires.
Off to you, Best and Brightest.
