higher price tyre also cannot guarantee your life .....

... just drive carefully & follow the speed limit

er... that will minimize the chances...

Started with stock NCT5, not satisfied, changed to GYF1, still not satisfied, change to PP2...now oledi 2 sets of AD07...yummy tires...can't wait for the AD08, but I heard in Japan oledi have...but it cost a bomb...

NCT5 can cause an accident that other tyres cant do, even above the safety mark, NCT5 is a C4 on your car.

A lot of accidents and lost lives could be avoided if ppl pay attention to their driving and also tires used...so no point in skimping on tires. Get a good one. If using 15inch and below, most top range tires are still affordable.

anyone know how much is a sime astar 300 205/45/R16?

only asking cos both my fronts are these tyres, got them free.. planning to change the two back ones to the same type la.

i know these aren't exactly the best choice, but im not an aggresive driver anyway..

azbro sifu has try many sets of tyre before. His advice start poisoning me...next change must be AD08.

Never use cheap tyre, go for something decent especially for 15" and smaller eg PP2. Not worth fixing the car when lost grip.

evne 13" you still can get the michelin Xm1, for 14" can get Ze912, PP2 and michelin, wonder why people must choose made in malaysia, i knwo it is cheap, but our life are not that cheap....

i hate people who use recon tyres, suddenly the car in front of you got 1 tyre explode and you are behind it, if want to die dont cause troubles to other...

haha... ppl in malaysia u know la...
any way... my dad use Michelin all the way... even his spare car Toyota KE-70...
my mum scold him wat for use Michelin energy for that car... seldom drive 1 week may be 3 times...
except his Volkswagon 60's is using cheap tyres... as that one 1 week only use 1 time...

but i'm breaking the tradition... trying hankook V12 on my vios next month or so...

BTW i think XM1 tires very cheap now... last time when i started to drive 13" XM1 still cost around 160 woh (in Ipoh)...
now only 130 only wat... that day i change on the Avanza in Klang XM1 195/60 R15 only RM200 not bad...
185/55 R15 PP2 for smaller car like Vios and City also cost around there in Klang...
V12 195/55 R15 cheaper as it is only RM175 in Klang... i think that price ok...
a lot better than NCT5... around the V12 price but safety...

V12 got available in 14"?

i'm wondering why some people like to install huge rims on small car with very little horsepower, for example, kancil with 15" and wira with 16" or 17"

wont it feel underpower?

and also why those BMW have huge rims? if downgrade to smaller rim size will have more power ka?

some car have the pressure monitor device, but i dont think it is necessary, just pump the tyres once a month twice a month is enough

"mati tak apa, gaya mesti ada"
"power tak ada, gaya mesti ada"

sorry, post in malay..

well said... a lot of ppl just want to look nice...
but they did not know they have to pay more for the tire until their tire change...
example 17 inch tire will cost more than 400 if you want better grade... of course they will say no need...
coz who will pay for a RM1600 tire change on a wira... ya there is some ppl will do so...
do mostly they will change to lower grade or cheaper tires below RM250...
they will think like no one know/see mah...
once i saw a E class Benz fitted on indo brand (if not mistaken) i was like wah...

so far i've never see expensive car running on made in malaysia tyres, i mean those BMW and merz lar, not civic, camry and accord...

style really not that important, unless the bigger rims can give me extra horsepower and improve aerodynamic, otherwise i will stick with 14" (stock) or 15"

i still dont know what's the point changing to larger rims in low horsepower and low torque cars.....

if me i will prefer my car look as stock as possible on the outside, but inside might have a supercharger impossible lar....

and still wondering why cars like BMW have a large rims

haha... i also think like that... WRC car rims also not very big...

maybe if stock BMW come with 17" if we downgrade to 15" got more power

WRC car i think only 15" or 16" what they want to the best time and to win the race, not win the chick and become rempit (edisi kereta)

haha yeah... to thin tyre also will easily cause puncture and also rim to damage...
u know la... they will go thru everything more than 100km/h gravel, muddy or sandy or tarmac...

u wan downgrade can, but can your smaller rims clear the disc brakes or not first
