it wont, unless your tyres have defects or you've done something else to the tyres

if that's the case, i would say made in malaysia tyres tend to be a "killer" in long run...

damn.. mayb i misheard the worker tht told me. but im pretty sure other price of other tires i listed out were correct.
n R1 is pretty cheap there, change to R1 lar.. quite comparison with V12 since both r new models..

Bridgestone Potenza RE001...rm375 per piece...

Well Oly... i was like you... i wen to Klang to changed my Vios tire 2 weeks ago... b4 that i survey a lot in AW and here...
in AW a lot of forumer changed to Hankook V12 and Falken 912... more comfort compare to PP2...

now 2 weeks in Hankook V12... done about 500km already... so far no problem... comfort increase compare to PP2...
haven drive fast in heavy pours until now so nothing much to comment there... but dry it handles well...
but have to get use to it as its handling not as good as PP2 as it have softer wall to give you more comfort...
my gf also like it as it is not too bumpy on humps and also even roads...

Falken 912 a lot of ppl feedback that the shoulder thread wore quite fast... mostly like amduser said that the pressure not steady...
duno what cause that...

i think it may cause by that also... i heard from ppl Toyo T1R also... have to check pressure always as it face the same problem with Falken 912...
my PP2 sometimes check after 2 weeks only 1 PSI different or sometimes non...
but always i release 1/3 of the air inside and pump in again just to make sure the pressure is good...
how much do you pump in front and also at the back??? what car are u using?


er... so far not ppl complaint la... as amduser said most of the time it cause by something else...
or maybe they did not drive the car far a long time... this is my 1st try on Hankook also...
last time all the way Michelin...

ill think ill stick on bridgestone...

where you got your bridgestone for RM375??

at manjung perak...

the problem that cause the front tyre to lose pressure faster maybe is because the weight ratio of the car, heavy in front and lighter in rear, my rear tyres after 1 month the pressure from 205kpa drop to 195kpa like this only, but the front from 225kpa drop to around 195kpa

Hi
Planning to get 195/60/15 Falken ZE912
Anybody can give pricelist for Kajang/Bangi area???

y here so many falken912 n hankok v12 fans?
actually there n lots of tyre to choose...!
michelin,bridgestone,yokohama,toyo,goodyear,pirelli

4me falken912 quite comfort but grip in wet condition poor n threadwear very fast...tats y the tyre cheaper...!

hankook V12 i haven tyre b4...but the thread looks solid n sporty...the tyre wont be as comfort as falken912 but i sure performance sure better!

not Hankok fans la... but the price vs all others is cheaper...
performance wise it is comparable with Michelin PP2...
Side wall is also softer than PP2 more comfort... Falken 912 < Hankook V12 < Michelin PP2...
Price wise Hankook V12 similar with Falken 912 worth...
thread wear wise Hankook V12 do not have the Falken issue...
Falken Shoulder thread tends to wear off faster...

I used 2 set PP2 then changed to Hankook V12... just changed 2.5 weeks ago...
no complaint until now... the tire is softer so the minor bumps you will not feel like PP2...
I prefer to look and see of the tire user feedback b4 make a decision...

Handling PP2 better than V12...
Comfort V12 better than PP2...
Noise almost similar but V12 noise is a bit... just a little softer i think...

BTW this Hankook is my 1st set of tire which is not Michelin...
except stock tire of the Vios... if my dad and i have a choice sure Michelin...
but after all the feedback at AW forum... i give tat a try...

i'm not falken Ze912 fans, but this tyres are affordable, even cheaper than michelin Xm1 in my car's tyre size, at least Ze912 is better than those made in malaysia, especially NCT5

keke... about that Killer Tire again...
GY made a few bad bad model tires recently...
and NCT5 is the worst i think... cannot use la if left only 50%...

you say it is a bad tyres, but still there are many people using it on the road, some maybe is new car with that oem tyres, but some even after few years they also change backk the same tyres, like one of my uncle, toyota camry 215/60R15 NCT5 for RM360

of course price giving high priority when choosing tyre...
so choosing michelin, yokohama etc not for budget man like me...
4 me my Continental CCT 1 are the best tyre i have been use...
its better than nct5 and turanza..
already 2 1/2 years now and still give good performance wet or dry (pls... for normal user... )

for falken ze912... never use before but feel want to try.... heard many good comment..
people said falken thread wear fast and so on continental cct1 (i already use 2 1/2 years.. thread around 40~50% i guess).. How fast this falken thread wear out?????
if normal user i think it can hold around 2 ~ 3 years (acceptable as > 3 years tyre from manufacturing date will be harden and performance will drop)..

actually quite interested with michelin 2, not pp2 but xm1... but budget too tight...

my family run on bridgestone...me on potenza re001 17,my bro on potenza re001 15,my other bro potenza re01r 14,my mom on potenza re030 15,my dad on turanza 15(but he said not nice,last time using potenza g3),our pickup on dueler ht,our old van also on bridgestone...and dont think will change to other brand...

Michelin is a bit expensive lo... but XM1 or Primacy LC is still affordable for me la...
what is your size??? how much is your budget...

Falken 912 is wearing fast on the Shoulder of the thread... not overall... tat is the feedback from AW forummers...
for 2~3 years i think you mean really normal drive and only drive not more than 20k per year...
i think XM1 can only last 2 years if not mistaken la... my parents driving style...
the more grip on the tire then tire wear will be faster of course... normal driving is good on XM1... very comfort...
but after i drive hard side wall Michelin PP2 then recently changed to Hankook V12 which is softer i feel that the handling not that good on soft tire
but compromise la... i prefer to have a bit of comfort like Hankook V12 but not Falken 912 which is softer than it...
Falken 912 have 60 series but both Hankook V12 and Michelin PP2 have limited... 55 series and below...
Michelin XM1 have until 70 series and Primacy LC have up to 65 series also if not mistaken...
you can try out Yokohama A drive and also C drive also... comfort tire but grip well la...
my gf car have Yokohama A drive in front and Michelin XM1 at the back... only change to at 1 time... her parents car don question much...
but handling quite well for both... Michelin XM1 i use it since i get my license...
as my dad is Michelin man... he like the comfort he got from it... so i broke the chain by changing to Hankook... 3 cars on Michelin...

for sure most of the tyres in the market are aim for lasting about 2 to 3 years, if performance tyres like those semi-slick then dont ever think about 3 years lar

yoko parada,advan ad07,potenza re01r,potenza re070,potenza re001,michelin pp2 all treadwear is under 300...oni can last 1 1/2 year...around 60,000 km...if u do rotation la...if not...dont even last a year...on normal road use la...if track use...3 hours botak oledi...

what do you mean by under 300?
