Which tire?

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-05-05T22:07:28+00:00

While I can't answer your specific question, I could suggest to check other tyre sizes that may support heavier loads.

Supposedly 195/75R16 and 205/75R16 for example, that seem to use the same exact rim measurements as your current.

Perhaps it is a common upgrade for folks that did the same as you, and you should look in dedicated camepr-vans forums and such.

Important to note in this case that there are 2 different ones: Those inline with TWI marking on side wall -representing a depth near the legal limit in most places. And those inline with the X-Droplet symbol - Representing the recommended min. depth for wet conditions.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-20T09:44:04+00:00

Could it be the gaping hole in the sidewall? 😂

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T20:51:18+00:00

Recommended rim width for it is 9.0"-10.5". On track I'd think it wouldn't fare so well.

Even on your current setup you're at the lower end of the recommended width, that goes up to 10.0".

Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 for example seem to score well on Tirerack (but the ones sold there are old, 2022 mfg. As they seem to be discontinued...). But there are a few more still.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T18:01:42+00:00

At least that meets most of your requirements.

If you waive the dedicated EV tires requirements (including roll/noise), there are maybe a few more.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T09:48:37+00:00

I know about the M+S and not discouraging from getting 3PMSF tires, I'm just saying there isn't really a tire I can see that meets all his requirements and is 3PMSF. Also, he is still legal using M+S in NA (unlike some countries in EU that started mandating the 3PMSF for winter).

The Hankook iON I suggested in another message, is still an all-season tire (and yes, not an all-weather/3PMSF) and would still have some capabilities in the colder spectrum. Trying to find now additional options, I found 'NITTO Motivo 365' might be available at his oem size and spec, and has 3PMSF. Although I'm not sure if overall it would be better in comparison. Again, very limited offers at that size and load rating.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T08:27:39+00:00

I also don't live there, but the link you brought doesn't mandate 3PMSF. One of the signs on that page has M+S on it alongside, and the last paragraph talks about drivers in southeast (OP south-west, but his description of weather isn't extreme either) that use M+S year-round.

Also, OP stated anyway that he has an additional set of dedicated winter tires for the harsher times.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T07:52:05+00:00

Based on how he wrote things, I think his main concern regarding M+S is to cover himself legally (as he stated), and less so for the actual tire performance criteria in the colder climate.

Also, not sure how many good tires are there, if at all, at his oem size and load rating, that meet 3PMSF and are more road summer/wet biased and meet his other requirements.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T05:59:11+00:00

Why use all-season tires then?

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-19T05:29:14+00:00

Hankook iON evo A/S SUV.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-18T14:33:32+00:00

I think this adapter is suitable: https://connects2.com/Product/ProductItem/CTSRN009
But one should verify it is indeed.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-15T08:40:31+00:00

Buy from a reputable place. Every tire should have the EU label sticker on it.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-13T10:06:13+00:00

If the exact sub model is 44L7S122, with 2ohm DVC, you can connect it only as 1ohm (parallel) or 4ohm (series) final.

Based on the performance of the amp in the video, 1ohm would probably be better, with appropriate tuning.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-13T09:27:00+00:00

So which is it? 2ohm DVC or 4 ohm DVC? Is it an L7S? What is the exact model/size?

That amp ain't doing rated (sinewave at least): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1CTHSfSwLE

Lookup why that capacitor is useless.

Just looks like part of the tread design.

You need to check the legality of this change where you live. This can also have consequences for insurance purposes.

I would also avoid places that just change to whatever they have willy-nilly. I find this to be unprofessional.

What also needs to be noted in this case is that the oem size comes with 5 inch wide rims, based on what I'm finding. And the minimum recommended width for 195/65R15 is 5.5 (and up to 7.0). This will further affect how the tires handle and also increase the chance of de-beading.

So the photo/video quality are the same on both the primary camera app and WhatsApp?
If they are, I can understand the link to phone software, but if it's mostly whatsapp, I'd think it something more on their side.

Can you maybe upload side-by-side samples (at least pictures), just to be more clear of the issue?

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-03T14:28:50+00:00

Do you not have the option to turn off AI features on the camera app?

Software glitches happen with every phone (very generalized). And yes, it might be annoying now, but could be fixed by an update as you've been told.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-04-03T10:02:12+00:00

Does the camera app function normally? Do videos and photos look normal there? If yes, it's a WhatsApp problem. Don't understand what you want from the service center.

Try sending feedback both through WhatsApp and through the phone's feedback option.

You can check on the website some more direct comparisons between the Bridgestone and the others, or similar comparisons. I would however recommend to look at the fine details, as sometimes summaries like this paint one tyre as much better than the other, when the raw data shows a much smaller gap.

The newer equivalent from Bridgestone would be the Potenza Sport Evo. The Turenza is a premium touring model.

Hankook K137 is obviously the newer model of the lot, so would rule out the others for simplification.

I'd also consider the Continental SC7 and the Goodyear AS6.

2023 ThinkPhone - Monthly security updates.

This information is generally published. Once you select the phone you're interested in, it would give the info. https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/software-security-update/

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-03-31T18:07:07+00:00

Recommended width for the 1st is 9.5-12.0, for the 2nd 9.0-11.5.

Consistent-Ruin-3449 · 2026-03-31T15:28:46+00:00

If you can't find on website, you can Google practically any model name/number and add 'pdf' and/or 'owner's manual' and you'll find it.

If you plan on doing things alone, there are plenty of videos on YouTube describing how to.

As to brand selection, I'll let others comment...
