QUOTE(kanethesun @ May 30 2009, 11:13 AM) I am decent driver depends on what tyres and what kind of road condition, if hot weather sure gone faster. just wondering normally tyre will only botak with how many KMs? last for around 2 years / 60,000 km? last time my NCT5 only last me about 3 years@30,000km, that time put at hometown seldom drive, but still botak quite fast for the front, maybe because of didnt do rotation |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 1 2009, 08:38 AM) Lets say you rotate around 10k km... and you are a very decent driver like my gf and my mum... it will last around 40k km or even more... 4 years never change tyres? luckily nothing happen my gf family's Iswara did not change tire for 4 years...  then i ask her to change after 1 yr 'pak to' with her... for me and my dad around 30k only... hehe... my Vios Stock NCT5 can last for 2 years around 40k my parents usage i seldom drive then... now the car at 78k... just changed 3rd set of tire Hankook V12... 2nd set Michelin PP2... around 28k km... coz always travel in distance... KL-PG and KL-SG... XM1 195/60/15 i bought at Klang... RM200 on March... I put on my parents 1.3 Avanza, buy 2nd hand Toyota Avanza 1.5L rim from them also... actually depends on the location... Chee Ann price also ok... coz in KL... Klang u go there on weekend prepare to wait for hours la... i did waited for 3 hours once b4... last 2 time i go, once is during weekday (1 hour+) and another time is Saturday early early reach there b4 all the ppl does (2 hours)...  if PP2 only last about 28k km with mostly long distance run, then how about in sepang circuit? erm......45mins before botak?  |

let's say, you drive long distance most of the time and it only last about 28k, if you drive long distance most of the time with the speed of 180-200km/h it might only last you 10k
 in sepang, either your car gone first or tyres gone first, the possibilities is there  |

QUOTE(vreis @ Jun 4 2009, 05:21 PM) just wants some opinion. for 195/55 from the list my options is: 206/60R15 will be high profile tires, the sidewall will be very thick 1) Bridgestone ER30 turanza- RM175 2) Falken ZIEX-912 - RM185 3) Yokohama A drive- RM 180 4) Yokohama C drive-RM 190 As my budget is around RM180 & the priority is comfort + less noise while a bit of handling won't hurt So whats u guys opinion? Which is the best offering? BTW is it weird to put in 205/60 in 15inch ride? wats the drawback? not good for handling because the sidewall too thick offer too much flex when cornering, more energy loss. |

you want to buy 1 tire only or change a pair or 4 pcs? valve and balancing will be free if your purchase and install 4 pcs, if credit card dont know got surcharge or not, maybe need to depends on the workshop also.

i think for 185/60R14, the best tires with limited budget only have 2, falken Ze912 and michelin Xm1
but how come no one mention this tires before? falken azenis st115 http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews/Falke...re_reviews.html  This post has been edited by amduser: Jun 5 2009, 10:10 AM |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 5 2009, 11:03 AM) is that tire widely available here??? i saw alot sime tyres, goodyear and silverstone, even michelin also more than falken, falken are good and affordable tires, but somehow is not that famous in malaysia i saw a lot of Falken 912 and also 512 / 452 but not ST115 woh... not sure about tat...  i saw tons of ST115 in 1U that car service center at the basement car park there, just now i go falkentire.com, it only available from 16" onward, and i see many good reviews from the link below, silent and comfort while not sacrificing performance... http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews/Falke...re_reviews.html seems like a good tires, and that day i walk pass a residential area nearby my house, i see a small car, i think is KIA sutera, using dont know 13" or 14" rims with falken azenis tires, i assume it is ST115, still new, super low profile tires, the tires so thin until almost cant see the sidewall QUOTE(vreis @ Jun 5 2009, 12:16 PM) thanks for the feed back. But I'm looking to change 4 pcs so will it be better in term of safety compare to your case? As I know different tyres in the same care is not that good. lol....sime tires, everyone should get rid of those made in malaysia tires, i know malaysia famous in producing rubbers, but that's a long time ago.Am looking to change 4 pcs at once. there'll be a surcharge of abt 3% if not mistaken. My ride is Vios & been using replica rims 15 inch for few yrs. I'm reluctant to try Conti cos a fren had a very bad experience using it. Currently its on sime tyres 195/50 & its driving me nuts. Well its another story why i chose that particular tyres. Seems falken is getting some positive feedback. But still would like to know about Turanza & Yokohama C drive ...if any of you guys had any experience on it. |

QUOTE(zeist @ Jun 6 2009, 09:28 PM) IMHO, Falken Azenis ST115 not as good as Yokohama Parada Spec 2. And Parada is cheaper than Azenis. Maybe because of my driving style. parada spec 2 only 16" and above right?Different people, different liking. |
