To whoever wants to contribute to the price list, please post as the following format so that I can update it to the main list.

CODE

Tyre Size (example: 195/55R15)
Brand & Model - Price @ exact shop name and location (Effective date of price asked/changed) whether inclusive of balancing and alignment or other extra services


A very good example would be like the following
QUOTE
195/55R15
Hankook V12 Evo - RM200 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (Dec 2008) inclusive balancing + installation


Do not have to quote the whole posting, just add up whatever size/price you have and I will update manually as quoting the whole post would make the thread eat up too much resource at the server's side.

Thanks a lot.

sorry i think your XM1 is abit expensive...
i bought at Hin Leong Klang... cost me RM200/pc for full set...  smile.gif including everything...
Try to get the air pressure up to 34PSI... i manage to get 500km++ with full tank from my Vios...
FYI do not follow only the car manual... if you drive more than 2km from COLD start... at least you have to add another 2 PSI...
My Vios is sitting on 34~35 PSI in front... while the back around 32~33PSI...

Try it and let me know... if there is any difference...
Again that is because your tire is HOT... try to release partial of the air in the tire...
around half if possible... I always do that... then pump 34PSI in front... try it... yes it is a bit stiff... but you can feel the difference if FC...
You cannot compare a all... NCT5 is rubbish tire by GY... of course XM1 quiet... because it is a comfort tire...
I have a lot of experience where my ABS is activated when i go downhill... especially raining... no matter raining lightly or heavily...
ZE912 is in High performance category... you can try Hankook V12 also... good feedback from user at AW forum...
PP2 is Ultra High performance... it is a bit hard... noise i duno as i did not try Falken or Hankook b4...
handling is good... dry and wet traction is very good indeed... although a lot of ppl said it steering response is not up to the Ultra Performance category...
Zopu,
you can try Yokohama A drive or C Drive also...
i'm not sure about the price... A Drive definitely lower than XM1...

Cheers...
*
34-35psi in front and 32-33 at rear? i only pump 33 in front and 30 at rear lar, later scare no more grip tongue.gif

how come Ze912 is high performance? it should be in normal street category only lar, grip in wet not that good.

my rims only 14" so i dont think V12 is available in that size lor.

Added on April 21, 2009, 1:13 pmdont have the contact number of TEK MING, sunway, in post #2? hmm.gif

trust me... smile.gif I'm using 15" the recommended pressure is 215kPA which is around 31 PSI...
i use that on my Vios... yes it maybe a bit hard... try out... smile.gif
i check pressure once in a fortnight...
try Michelin or Yokohama...

or add another 2~3 PSI to your recommended pressure...

Couldn't be that low a pressure, my friend's new Vios is in the 30-s for it's pressure, front and rear different, but I couldn't recall since the car ain't wif me ATM.

Juz don't get confused with different pressure ratings as it's usually rated in psi or kPA

trust me...  smile.gif  I'm using 15" the recommended pressure is 215kPA which is around 31 PSI...
i use that on my Vios... yes it maybe a bit hard... try out...  smile.gif
i check pressure once in a fortnight...
try Michelin or Yokohama...

or add another 2~3 PSI to your recommended pressure...

At the moment this tyre size is still pretty new, as far as I know, only Bridgestone has this size locally in the stock tyres RE080.

New Vios runs a different pressure for front and rear, front being more due to the increased weight. Running higher pressure up front(for a front heavy FWD) will also reduce understeer.

Well that is an odd ize... try 195/55 R15...
i think you can find most of the price at this forum...
BTW Primacy for that size only selling at RM200 at Ban Hooi Klang... smile.gif

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

It shows there good fit... although it's diameter is a bit smaller... Diameter Difference: -1.27%
well you can try 195/60 R15 also as the diameter is a bit bigger... Diameter Difference: +1.95%

it depends on which tyres... NCT5 sucks... others i duno...
as i use Michelin from Day 1 when i start my driving...
the Vios come as stock... did not use very frequently... but i have a few cases which it activates my ABS easily...
especially going down slope when raining... unsure.gif

losing grip while going down slop in wet is pretty normal, especially light car like vios, unless you're using sport tyres, did i mentioned semi-slick? rolleyes.gif

well you can hear a sound... like when you try to shift without pressing on the cluth pedal in manual model...
not tat loud... but can hear... NCT5 that time i was using...
after change to PP2... no such problem... even in car park with Cement floor also... very very seldom ABS will get activated...
Sorry it is not normal..... if your tyre is good no problem... don tell me that go down the slope this will happen...
ask those tyre expert... this will not happen if the tyre you bought have good grip...

Try to go to www.tirerack.com read more on the tire review...


@kcng,

No that is not the speed... when you brake... which is makes your car stop faster???
you must have a good braking system... then i ask you... what is the contact between your car with the road???
TYRES!!!! this is the shoe... if you are wearing cheap shoes you lose grip very fast...
what if you buy a better shoe... of course it will improve...
of course this will repay you with more $$ you need to spend on the tires...

on Michelin PP2 i never have problem during cars and dogs raining condition... i drive 110~130 km/h on highway during that time also...
Remember... cheap things never come good... good things never come cheap!!!

Maybe you can try using 16x6.5 for your sport rims instead, might be a bit harder to find but it's a better fit. 16x7 and 205/55R16 wif too big an offset(meaning smaller digits) will make the tyres hit your fender.

You can opt for 205/50R16 as well but it's a "rarer" size in terms of Malaysian tyre sales and *might* cost significantly more.

195/55R15 hitting fender sounds impossible, could be his/her suspension faulty already? coz i heard if the suspension faulty it will have the symptoms of lowered.

stock vios suspension can take 15" no problem, if 17 or 16 then hard to say lar.

Hitting fender can be a few reasons, and also there's hitting inside and also hitting outside, what i'm refering to is more like rubbing on the inside when turning full lock(for example, u-turn), which is why I have no ideas if the person used the stock wheels, or aftermarket wheels, I would say aftermarket wheels wouldn't cause a problem as most of the time it's wider and also bigger offset, probably he was running the stock Type-G/S wheels which are very narrow and have a small offset.

I did not face this problem with 195/55 R15 PP2 with my 1st Gen Vios 1.5G...
actually i think maybe after market rim may cause that problem also... depends the offset lo...
if he bought a rim with nicely fitting should not be problem...
I saw a lot of ppl using 16" or 17" rim also they do not have complain...

to whom may concerns you may ask the users in the Vios forum...

Rm230 for 2 pcs.. tongue.gif
So is RM115/pcs.
I ask them about other brand, they say Continental and Falken is RM110/pcs but this Dunlop Sport J3 is better than them.
So what's better in fact? smile.gif

I got a offer for Silverstone tyre at a lower price but i heard a lot of comment about how bad Silverstone tyre are.

thanks for the guide buddy!..but currently i've added 2 inch rubber on the rear springs to heightened a bit....but later if i switch to 205/50 it would have a big gap between the tyre & fender....now i can insert my four fingers......later will be 5...which is quite ugly if i drive alone..

around rm600 for 2 pcs. i will probably try the Advan or S-Drive.

you can try Hankook V12 195/55/r15... a lot of good review...
should not be more than RM200...  rclxm9.gif Michelin PP2 will cost RM230 cheapest and not directional tyres...
good dry and wet handling with reasonable price...  smile.gif

thanks a lot. i will take a look at the V12.

If you are interested in alignment and balancing, check out the tyre shop in Sungai Way, near the Hindu Temple (Eswari). They charge very reasonable, align&balance for 4 tires cost RM35.

I do there every 3 months.

or where is the place would the nail poke your tire...

@ceo684
yea... a bit hard not to too hard... if he wanna try Hankook V12 also can...
I'll give that a try also... smile.gif if too hard maybe buy another set of PP2 end of the year...
can put the V12 at my old SEG if i don like the performance at High way...

Guys, currently I'm using all stock 185/55/R15 and planning to change to 195/55/R15 for two front tyres and the back will continue using 185/55/R15 is it ok?

Or do I need to change all of it?

yes V12 is softer... then than PP2.. Falken 912 is softest of the 3...
but cornerning with waja...hmmm... the suspension hard or comfort...
if confort i think you can just use PP2..
if stock hard already try ourt V12... 912's shoulder wear off faster than expected...

wonder why people still go for NCT series, it sucks and it hurt my ears....

for that kind of price, top up a bit more to get the falken Ze912 for a better deal...

how come there are size in 192? hmm.gif

If you want for smoothness and budget concern, i rather take Michelin XM1. sorry ya Falken user smile.gif smile.gif
XM1 old fashion, no trendy tread pattern, but it works during wet. Smoothness and quietness are something to shine about.. notworthy.gif

now 3rd set of XM1 on WiraLution, feels good during wet. No fancy fancy V shape tread pattern..I am swear by Michelin for comfort tyre.. notworthy.gif
trade in price for old tyre(still very new), rm80 rebate.. new tyre 185/60/14 they offer rm190, abit pricey but since they offer good trade price..just take it.

just saw a Toyota Innova skid, knock the divider and spin for few rounds at PLUS highway..cause of accident? Tyre burst, failure !! doh.gif

you are correct...
you may find out that michelin wears a lil faster... but in terms of comfort it never lose to others...
Primacy haven try b4... but my old SEG last time wears Michelin 175/70 R13 for er... 13 yrs... no problem...

as amduser said.. avoid swimming pools... haha...
I'm using Michelin PP2 185/55 R15 on Vios... yesterday from Ipoh to Penang around 7:45 onwards...
all the way raining from KK to the Juru... and i'm driving average 120~140km/h all the way...
no problem... BTW my front tyre around 50% and back tyre 2mm more the safety mark...
i go thru some small water pool... still ok...

Sorry, you may say that i'm a Pro Michelin user here... but it serve me well since i started my driving till now...
tried NCT5 as it is Vios stock.. it sucks... still have 30% over and i used it once on my SEG when i change to 15" left around 30% also...
quickly change it as you can feel very slippery when raining... further more last time i work in Penang...
everyday have to go thru Paya Terubong to Relau road... which is very dangerous...
as few times i press brake harder... my Vios ABS activated... and my SEG front tire locked...
luckily nothing happen...

now i'm taking advice from forum... another good tire is Hankook V12... which i am going to try out next month...


@Zopu...
I'm not the user... but i heard from AW forummers... they comment that the side thread very easy to wear off...
but it is the softest from compare to V12 and PP2... PP2 is the hardest...
Cheers...

Im using 185/60/14 right now.. Just wonder Michelin model suit my rim. Is PP2, or XM1? How about Hankook? Which model? For Falken is Ze912 right?
The price pls? I only knew Ze912 is around RM140/pc in Sunway.

Michelin XM1 have your size... others not quite sure...
look at the list... My dad Avanza just change to XM1 195/60 R15
performing as expected...
if you are not into Hard cornering the Falken 912 or Michelin XM1 is ok...
i have one case b4... i crash my car... sport rim spoiled...
but the tire still can use back... Michelin XM1...
so 1 year without sport rim... sad.gif
Xm1 soft... comfort and also not noisy... wet performance... good...
you can ask for Michelin Primacy also... duno have or not la...

what is your budget... ???

Haha...those talk are from yesteryears...PP2 can cut water like a knife...hehe although not as surgical as the GYF1...but its up there with the best.
Dun let the grand daddy old scool thread patterns fool you..Michelin have done their home work...but PP2 for me are a bit on the rough side although can be said soso quite tires.

Yup...rubbish tires...you can't even go a bit faster on the round about...in fact you have to slow down a lot.

Dunlop does make good tires...but I've yet to see one is a very long time except the old SP9000 and Sportmaxx (not supported in M'sia).
Ever since Dunlop using Sumitomo rubber, the Malaysia range of Dunlop tires are worthless.
Another lousy tire is the Barum...borrow my friends Waja, floored the accelerator and all hell broke loose.

My Waja friend than toke a ride in my stock Vios (with uprated tires and suspension) just to show him what really good tires are about and his jaws dropped.
Very - very late braking, snapping the rears and the car just corners like it was on rails.

Try V12 Evo if got size. 100% better than Dunlop D01.

the good thing about Dunlop D01 is the price ! got mine very cheap 195/50/15 fit on Sagalution, cheaper than local goodyear !Treadwear is pretty good, sure long lasting..

but seldom drive the car, so no comment.

the later batch is from Indo, luckily mine is made in Japan.

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.

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

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... smile.gif

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... sweat.gif

V12 got available in 14"? hmm.gif

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" shakehead.gif

wont it feel underpower?

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

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 brows.gif impossible lar....

and still wondering why cars like BMW have a large rims hmm.gif

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

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)

90% of the time ppl. use huge rims just for cosmetic changes.

I kinda agree, WRC cars use those sizes, last month (or was it two months back), Toyota brought in a TRD prepared Vios for the Sepang track using 14inch hmm.gif

vios dont have that much horsepower and torque to move larger rims lar laugh.gif

the larger the rims the more power you need to move it, but i heard some said slightly larger rims is good for long journey, like 14" > 15"

Pros -
Running on 2nd set of RE001 now
- Sikly smooth, Quiet..not bad for performance tyre.
- Tread wear is pretty good, you don't see uneven wear on outer tread block..
- Sidewall is hard, good for cornering..But review said YokoAD07 is even harder..and grip better in corner.
- Tread pattern is attractive, beautiful ..agree?wub.gif

Cons
- Pricey, compare to its competitor
- On damp surface, performance start to deteriorate..

Two shop opposite PranginMall.

a)Goh Swee Hin, very popular shop as they have run the business for many many years.. notworthy.gif
b)Hock Cheong..

rm350 for 215/45/17 for Korean Hankook ok la...for that price i think i will go for Michelin PP2, Briggy RE001, GoodYear F1 Assy which is under rm500 mark nod.gif
what is your budget for tyre? 215/45/17 is a common size, normally 215/45/17 cost at least rm300 per piece..If you want cheaper, try Silverstone ..
rm200 can get Indonesia made tyre liao. nod.gif

Hankook is Korean made but so far no user complain about the tire...
it is more comfortable than PP2 but cornering is not as nice as PP2...

hmmm... y everyone think of changing to 17"... with Vios...

Hi Michael9413,

Thanks for your feed back. But i not understand about chart you provided. Can you please explain more details abt it?? sorry for any inconvenient.

Besides, for your opinion...what size of rim i should change or stick with original 14" rim??any idea??

I plan to change 17" because it will make my car look more "chun" haha!! brows.gif

Size over 3% rules is it mean that not suitable to install 17" for vios and it will cause underpower??? hmm.gif

well you can refer to the quote attachment...

QUOTE
Plus Sizing
Plus sizing your wheel & tire combination was designed to enhance vehicle performance and looks by allowing  fitment of larger diameter rims and lower profile tires. The theory is that while making these changes, you keep the overall tire diameter within 3% of the original equipment tires. This is important because larger variances can cause problems with transmission shift points which can decrease fuel mileage. It can also confuse braking system computers which can even lead to brake failure.

Here's the rule of thumb for "plus sizing":

    Plus 1:
    Increase section width by 10mm
    Decrease aspect ratio by 10 points
    Increase rim diameter by 1 inch

    Plus 2:
    Increase section width by 20mm
    Decrease aspect ratio by 20 points
    Increase rim diameter by 2 inches.

This is not exact, but it will usually get you in the right ballpark. We always recommend consulting with the people you are purchasing the wheels and tires from to ensure fitment.
for me er... not sure about the availability of the size but you can only put 195/55 R15 & 205/45 R16
this is the most suitable one for you and also available in the market...
the 2 sizes that i give you is suitable for your budget...
remember if you use more lower profile tires the chances of your Rim get spoiled easily...
you also can go for the 205/40 R17 if you want...

you only target RM350/tire and for 17" seldom you can get good tires...
good tires is important... as life is...
tire is like your shoe...
if cheap one very slippery if a lot of water...
shoes that have better grip always a bit expensive....

underpower is for sure, dont expect a 102hp (on-engine horsepower) 1NZ-FE to push 17" like 14"

the 3% rule is for the speedometer, over 3% wheel size then you will get a wrong reading, while you are driving 60km/h on the speedometer, the actual speed is actually 65km/h, but that's just an example

better think twice to change to oversized tires...

what amduser said is the major point... not only that...
some of my frens even complain the rim get crooked easily...
you know la... you have to avoid most of the holes if you wanna thin thin tire...

tat depends on wat JJ ur rim is. if ur rims is 6JJ; yes u need to change ur rims. if not the tires will be sticking out alot sweat.gif

if ur rims is roughly 6.5-7jj, u might still be able to fit it in.

i m on 6.5JJ; 205 tires. the tires sticks out tiny bit.

what is the Ori tire size??? we ned to know that...
if you wanna change to bigger size liek the 215 width that you said...
you need to change to at least 16"
the width will make the car more stable... but the tire condition and also quality is also important...
just like the GY NCT5 which normal user said ok...
but do you know that a lot ppl know that it sucks???
i have my ABS activated most of the time when the rain just started and when i'm driving down hill...
do not think wider tire will give you more grip if you wanna but cheap cheap cheap tires...

will be slightly underpower and higher fuel consumption, but you get a more stable ride in exchange..

not that call anti... if you really tried with b4 compare to others it really sucks... left 30~40% the performance drop a lot...
i remember some one in AW forum said... in terms of grip... the forummer said...
GY NCT5 is 40% < Hankook V12 40% < Michelin PP2
he tried all 3 before... yes PP2 is a bit expensive but worth the $$$... used 2 set of PP2 on my Vios after the stock NCT5 tires...


@superdeemon,
you can try Hankook V12 as that is the most famous tire in AW forum...
cheaper than PP2... for 195/55 R15 Hankook is only at RM175 while PP2 is at RM230 in Klang...

you can refer to the 1st page of this thread...
you can try Ban Hooi, Hin Leong, Hock Li, Jooi Seng...
Ban Hooi, Hock Li and Hin Leong is at the Jalan Kapar

Ban Hooi 03-3342 3146
Hock Li 03-3348 8539

the price gap for my size is RM20~40 per tyre i think...
you can ask around and see... some of them even RM50 apart... smile.gif

g'year excellence cost me rm260 per pc and so far, it is quiet and smooth. But, havebt got a chance to test in the wet condition yet due no rain fall recently, mostly hot-hot-hot weather.

i've thought of hankook but dared not gamble the korean brand and as for falken 912, i don;t really like the tread/groove. Maybe, next time i'll go for michelin brand only

Thank you

you can try a spare parts shop called, Seng Hup Seng just located right across jln sg besi ex-mtc / volvo / proton-eon service ctre. The prices they quote are comparable to their distribution price to workshop prices. Worth giving it a try. Their contact no. is 03-9221 4752.

195/65R15
Falken 912 - RM175 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (22nd May 2009) inclusive balancing + installation

Optional Nitrogen @ RM10 and I replaced Aluminium valve @ RM10 per piece, no negotiation take place as price is reasonable

NOTE:
Before I left to Klang for the tyre replacement, I did call Kee Hing @ Old Klang Road for 195/65R15 price, as follows:
Michelin XM1 195/65R15 = RM260
Michelin Primacy LC 195/65R15 = RM310

V12 have good feedback from the AW forummers...
i'm using a new set now... 1 week ++ already nice...
nice grip and also the side wall not too hard...

912 a lot of AW forummers said the shoulder thread wear off quite fast...
the side wall softer than V12 hence more comfort...

Thanks for the feedback. So far, early reviews are good. But I heard that Korean-made tyres tend to "bulge" in the long run due to the difference of climate. Any comment on this?

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...

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?

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 sweat.gif

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... smile.gif

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

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... ) rclxms.gif

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).. smile.gif

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 doh.gif

many use it as they dont know much about tyre technology... what they know only brand..
just ask them about TOYO tyre... many of my old2 friend thought it cheapo tyre without see the price tag..
same with sime tyre... ask people everywhere... i believe same answer given... malaysia punye.. tayar chokia.. tongue.gif

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... )  rclxms.gif

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)..  smile.gif

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 tongue.gif
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... smile.gif
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

depends on what tyres and what kind of road condition, if hot weather sure gone faster.

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

since the price doesn't differ much from C.Drive, why don't just go for C.Drive?
it offer more fun and better traction too.
satisfied C.Drive user here. good traction and grip.
currently using it on my 2 front. slightly noisy on uneven surface though.

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 shakehead.gif in sepang, either your car gone first or tyres gone first, the possibilities is there nod.gif

Try Hankook evo V12... currently it is the hottest tire around...
good amount of grip comparable with Michelin PP2...
it is a new thread so wear and tear life still unknown...
i just changed to this tire 3 weeks ago... RM185/pc at Ban Hooi Klang...

you can try out Michelin Pilot which is around RM50 more expensive...
or you can try out Falken 912 which is the similar price with Hankook...

refer to my previous post for Hankook V12 vs Michelin PP2 driving experience...

Go to this link for Opel test drive with Hankook V12...

BTW attached below is my report on V12 at AW forum after i went to Genting last Sunday...

QUOTE


well guys... i made a trip up to Genting... try a few steep corners wit the V12... around 50~70km/h kua...
the tire still grip well during dry and wet also... not squeaking sound or any from the tire at all... even though kena lines also no problem (at this moment la...)
maybe still new... around 900km already... over all ride comfort sure better than PP2...  thumbup.gif

V12 vs PP2...
V12 more quiet when it go over the humps and also the strip lines b4 it...
V12 absorbs all the small bumps without sounds...
V12 grips well even i drive on the white lines... u know la... Genting corner if you want to try to hard corner stick to the inner side of the corner...
V12 wet gripping at this moment i feel is really good... yesterday when i start to come down heavy rain...
but try to warm up a bit by corner into the first few downhill slope it grips well...
then try 2~3 hard cornering around 60km/h b4 my gf give me that look... u know la...
BTW i press my brake around 30mb4 the corner it still grip well... no ABS activated...

Try Hankook evo V12... currently it is the hottest tire around...
good amount of grip comparable with Michelin PP2...
it is a new thread so wear and tear life still unknown...
i just changed to this tire 3 weeks ago... RM185/pc at Ban Hooi Klang...

you can try out Michelin Pilot which is around RM50 more expensive...
or you can try out Falken 912 which is the similar price with Hankook...

refer to my previous post for Hankook V12 vs Michelin PP2 driving experience...

Thanks dude.

How about this ? Any opinion?

Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 = RM255+-
Bridgestone Potenza RM295+-
Falken Ziex Ze-912 =RM165-190

AD 07 duno haven try that yet...

this 2 tires is expensive... just like Michelin PP2...
Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 = RM255+-
Bridgestone Potenza RM295+-

from my experience with PP2... best Aquaplaning among all the tires...
but the hard side wall is the one that you have to bear with... and the noise a bit hard also, not that loud...
AD07 i think similar with PP2 but performance wise no comment haven tried that and it is Outdated... ppl is waiting for AD08 la...
Bridgestone did not used b4 also... as my dad prefer to stick with Michelin as it serve us well...

this is the list i copy from AW forum...

looks like if you want HP tires you can chosse Michelin PP2, Yokohama AD07, Bridgestone Potenza RE001, Hankook V12 & Falken 912...
among them all have positive feedbacks from AW forummers but Yokohama AD07 outdated all of them waiting for AD08...
Bridgestone RE001 not much ppl is mentioning them as Hankook V12 and Falken 912 can be better and the price is much lower...
both of the tire as you see not more than RM200... which is at least RM30 cheaper than AD 07, PP2 and RE001...

it is your choice which to choose...

BTW you have to ask yourself... Comfort a bit with handling... or you don mind the tire is abit on hard side with good handling...

Hankook V12 Evo - RM220 @ Jazz Tyre Bukit Mertajam, Penang (Mar 2009). Inclusive balancing + installation + Nitrogen for 4 tyres. sad.gif

just wants some opinion. for 195/55 from the list my options is:
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 tongue.gif
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?

206/60R15 will be high profile tires, the sidewall will be very thick shakehead.gif

not good for handling because the sidewall too thick offer too much flex when cornering, more energy loss.

I already use Turanza... for me not so good.. see my pic.. thats because using Turanza (front) and NCT5 (rear) both 50% tread... so carefull if buy.. sad.gif

The best I use was Continental Comfort Contact 1 (195/55/15)... quiet, comfort and grip too... I never skid...

Just yesterday I bought falken ziex 195/60/15 RM175... biggrin.gif
if 55 series... i guess the price lower a bit..
I think budget RM180 are not enough.. make it RM200 due to maybe u need to change valve and other hidden cost..

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.

what is your Ori Size... what is you car model???

for me la... Falken 912 fits you well... but i duno about Hankook V12 also... for a few ppl tis tire is more towards comfort...
but the tire noise is there but not too loud...
as bro wch5274 said... you can try out continental comfort contact 1 also but not most of the Conti tire is Made in Malaysia...

if you willing to go to Klang to change RM180 you can change Falken, Hankook and also Yokohama...
never use bridgestone b4...
but Falken 912 and Hankook V12 had a lot of positive feedback by AW forumers whom need comfort on those size... smile.gif

I change my Hankook v12 3 weeks ago at Ban Hooi Klang... RM183@ with valve, balancing and nitrogen also...
except alignment RM12 only front wheel, coz my car Vios rear wheel fix one...
if you take out Nitrogen i believe you can get RM175 or RM180 only...

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.

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.

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 shakehead.gif

ok... i'm driving 1 also... mine '05 Vios 1.5G... using PP2 previously as it gives me good handling and also good Hydroplaning...
Iunderstand your condition as i used 1 set of NCT5 on the Vios (stock) then My SEG when i bought the city rim together... they are... sweat.gif
i just changed to Hankook V12 just 3 weeks ago... it gives my good balance of dry and wet traction as well as comfort...
y i change from PP2 to V12 is a big question... coz Michelin vs Hankook... haha...
i take the review from numbers of AW forummer into count... i realise the V12 not bad at all...
BTW you can just change to 195/55 R15 which is more suitable... smile.gif from my point of view la...

my comparison of Hankook V12 with Michelin PP2 please refer to the previous post...

after i read thru all the material i realise that Hankook and also Falken not that bad at all... which a lot ppl do not use internet to search this info...
If you really read thru the V12 test by Opel which AW forummer gave me the link then you know...
I got a surprise then Michelin lose out to GY and Hankook which is Rank no 1 and 2 in the test...

IMHO, Falken Azenis ST115 not as good as Yokohama Parada Spec 2. And Parada is cheaper than Azenis. Maybe because of my driving style.

I think Parada Spec 2 has horribly soft sidewalls (compared to PP2 185/55 OR even overpressured NCT5 for that matter) for a so called performance tyre. Lembap lah the sidewall.. and im scared to go above 280kpa on 195/50 size cos the tyre never said anything abt max pressure - juz installation (to seat beads) max pressure do not exceed 40psi oni. Hmm.

Just got some feed back from random tyre shops.
Bridgestone Turanza is quite good but easily 'botak' on the shoulder even for normal usage.
Yokohama A & C Drive is almost same except C drive is better grip but for A drive the thread pattern is symmetrical hence can interchangeable/rotate for 4 tyres unlike C drive.

haha A drive don have inside outside... you can flip at ever you want if not mistaken...

if you want lower profile tires you can try out Hankook Evo V12... a lot of positive feedbacks...
then if you want higher profile... Yokohama C Drive, Michelin XM1 or more premium Primacy LC, Dunlop and also Bridgestone also have...

Any idea whats the cost like for XM1? So far the only Bridgestone that correspondence with my budget is Turanza. I would love to have Michelin but seems its a bit on high side, the cost i mean.
As for Dunlop, I've not consider that yet. Maybe will take it into consideration too. Any idea the pricing for Dunlop as the list doesn't have it for 195/55R15

hmmm you can give Hankook V12 a try...
sure a lot of them tell you something else...
but i read quite a numbers of feedback at AW forum... all of them giving positive feedback...
change to 195/55 R15 Hankook V12... it give you comfort + handling also...
although its handling cannot compare with Michelin PP2 but in terms of comfort V12 beats PP2...
it is quite economical tire also...

I used PP2 2 sets before this Hankook V12...
PP2 more towards handling but a lil bumpy... while V12 give you a better all rounder for normal driving...

Michelin XM1 is entry level... for better choice you better use Primacy LC...
further more i remember i haven seen XM1 in the size... Primacy LC will cost around RM210 kua...
i think Hankook V12 is a good all rounder lo... haven try out Primacy LC b4 coz changed to V12 after the Michelin PP2...

er... what is your size??? maybe you have better choice... * sorry remember already...
you can try out Michelin XM1 and also C drive also... smile.gif
if not mistaken that 2 is a lil more expensive...

normally if you change 4 tires try to ask them to give you balancing and also alignment FOC...
likely they will ask you got Chamber... arond RM35~RM50 i think... mostly they charge around there...

Can someone expert here recommend me which tire is good for my car

195/65 R15 W124

Top priority is noise..in my mind is michelin xm1 and conti comfort contact1 because this type of tyre around my tight budget.Currently using GY GT3.This tyre is really noise.I don't drive agrressively..so I need to know the quietest tyre and comfort I can get below Rm 300 per pc..for ur information i'm stay in malacca.

But I heard the falken ze-912 not long lasting..means here the tyre easy to become 'botak'..Is that true??
So for the 195/65 R15 can u estimated what is the price per pc??..Before use good year,I use conti comfort contact.The price is RM280 per pc.Don't know if the price is cheap or not.Continental really comfort and bit quiet than GY.I'm still decide between the 3 tyre.Falken,michelin or continental.Michelin I think maybe xm1 because the price is in my budget which is around 260 bucks.owh don't want lerr low profile..later looks like impak maksima. biggrin.gif

the wearing of the shoulder thread is faster compare to others like Michelin PP2 and Hankook V12...
that is for a bit aggressive driving style, but for normal use i think it should be ok...
not quite sure about the price as the tire price list does not have Falken912 in your size...

y not u use 195/60/15
65 series quite hard to find and costly also...

my old tyre was continental comfort contact 195/55/15 = RM175 per pcs (not include valve and balancing)
I know CCC1 quite quiet...

Now im using falken ZE912 195/60/15 = RM175 per pcs (not include valve and balancing)
Noise better than ccc1 (maybe due thicker size....)

65 series is too thick, look like tractor only

and 195/50R15 and 195/55R15 doesn't even look thin, it just look nice and more tires are available at the range of 195/55R15, easier for you to find tires and at a cheaper price compare to 195/65R15

Ze332 not really good tires, and definitely not high performance.

Ze912 is around RM135, but take note when is the tire made, sometime they give old stock.

i don think the "O ring" is really necessary, if done alignment and balancing still the same problem, either the workmanship not good, or there are some other things in your car that causes the problem.

sometimes condition of the road also can cause steering vibrate at high speed.

there is no number of limit of tires you can buy, you can buy a whole stack, but for your car, depends on which tire worn out then change the one

Hi, im beginner into tyres...

Have few question to ask:-

1) Im driving neo using stock continental tyre with spec 195/50/R16. Izzit good, shud
i consider
to change other brand if sux?

2) I found out very rare other brand have this spec, hard for to find the item & pricing for it.
   Where can i get the price list for above spec?

3) What other range of tyre spec that i can use with my stock 16" rims besides 195/50/..
*
You can try out 205/55 R16 which have wide range of tire to choose...
you prefer handling or comfort... but i tell you 16" tires not cheap...

Price list from AW forum...
Hankook V12 Evo - RM 280 @ Teoh Brothers, Sentosa Klang ( April 09). Incld bal + inst + nitrogen[/color]
Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 - RM420 - GS Auto Jalan 222 PJ (Mar 09)
Bridgestone re 001 adrenalin - RM520 - GS Auto Jalan 222 PJ (Mar 09)
Falken ST115 RM 230 Special offer package (at least 2) Hock Li Klang (jan 09)
Toyo C1S - RM360 (May09) ,Ed tyres S.Alam
toyo proxes t1r - RM 370 - JB - Toyo - Tmn Rinting (dec 08)


QUOTE(iena_jr @ Jun 14 2009, 05:03 PM)
hello..

how much for 215/45/R17?

currently i'm using michelin PP2..wats the best n suitable brand?

err..tyre can be buy each only?

i'm noob about tyre..haha..biggrin.gif:D
*
you can change 2 at a time or 4 at 1 go...
try our Hankook V12 or Goodyear Assy...

price taken from AW forum...
Hankook V12 - RM317 Tek Ming, Sunway (Apr 2009) (with trade in of your old tyres)
Goodyear F1 asymmetry- RM425 inclusive rubber valve, balancing, alignment and Credit card charges, Quicksave 9/4/09


FYI if you feel PP2 is a bit hard you can try out Hankook V12...
i changed my 195/55 R15 from PP2 to V12... feel a lot more comfort...
but it is directional tires... for V12... F1 Assy is a non-directional with good grip also...
look at my older post for the Opel Corsa test using a few 17" tires...

satria neo's converted tire size is 205/45-16~
by suggesting 205/55-16 it totally oversize for 1.6L car~
normally 205/55-16 is for car's at least 1.8L - 2.0L car n above~

Hmm... Here asking again behalf of my mum, as she wants to get a set of yokohama C.drive AC01 comfort tyres (yea, somehow right?) on the "kereta kebal" version of saga, 185/60/R14 STOCK... i did mention right? haha

Still using the original tyres after 3 years +_+, and now due to she knows how to use the Maju Expressway (MEX) or KL-> Putrajaya for a fast runaway road, she tends to drive faster (around 140KM/h based on the GPS).. and i feel unsafe for that tongue.gif

So therefore.. Anyone knows approximately how much does the pricing is for 4 rims around Seri Kembangan, up to puchong areas? or ... maybe.. up to sunway if price is considerable... smile.gif or other recommendations...

EDIT

http://www.yokohama.co.nz/availability_chart1.html

185/60R14
WHILE STOCKS LAST C.drive AC01 -??? Obosoluting? lulz

XM1 ka.. Too.. Boring dy LOL, as my car is using it previously (got cheap sales of only RM143 per unit inclusive of installation around 3-4 months ago for 175/70/R13)

It's Just.. perform as not big or should i say.. not a lot of diff from A drive.. smile.gif

And yes, Falken 912 Tends to "botak" faster if rough driving, that is now I am facing now where speeding around 120-140km/h plus she "heavily" uses the breaks

PP2 ka... lol.. that's a little OB, except.. i'll see if what happens... IF the C.drive is obsolute or what.. already 1 week since i notify my "biasa" workshop, but he say very stock limited... always want take also no stock.. duno la.. ~_~ maybe yokohama supplier very lazy ? or too busy? hahaha

165/55/14? lol.. boleh meh? lulz

of course you will get better handling on the Hard side wall tire... smile.gif
but soft one will give you more comfort... you choose lo.. smile.gif

PP2 price is a bit high... too bad Hankook V12 don have your size if not you can give tat a try...
Dry and Wet handling compare to PP2 about 80~90% cos side wall softer....
but traction on both dry n wet is comparable to PP2... braking also...

anyone went to Tek Ming in sunway before?? how is the workmanship? worth to go there?

my cousin he got a half cut satria, half a year never start it, tomorrow need to try to start it and maybe will change a new set of tires if necessary, look forward to V12, Xm1 or Ze912, current tires size is 195/50R15, maybe will change all to 195/55R15 for more choice.

EVERYTHING is chargeable la....even the tire valves...if they want..they can even charge u for the valve caps.. tongue.gif

but most of the time the rubber tire valves are free la. especially when u buy rims...

but whether free or not depends on what ur doing la...if u buy tires of course most of the time balancing is free....but if out of the blue u come and just wanna do balancing and nothing else of course they charge.

195/60 R15 can use Michelin XM1 about RM200 when i change at Klang on March...
or Michelin Primacy LC / Yokohama C or A Drive / Toyo Teo Plus / Falken 912
195/55 R15 you can choose Michelin PP2 or Primacy LC / Hankook V12 (hot tire now) / Falken 912 / Yokohama C or A R1 Drive / Toyo T1R...

which you prefer??? Handling or Comfort??? tell us your prefer choice...

i just bought 4 pp2 tires for my myvi, handling and grip is superb. this tire is very sticky when it's hot, it'll stick all the stones on the tire and those stones will be flying in the fender. lol.

anyway the price is

185/60/14 - RM195 + free balancing, alignment and 4 tire valve, Kim Heng Sunway (22 June 2009)

the manager there is very friendly, ah keong. but the staff there tried to chop me, asked me to install camber for RM55 each tire in front.

i just bought 4 pp2 tires for my myvi, handling and grip is superb. this tire is very sticky when it's hot, it'll stick all the stones on the tire and those stones will be flying in the fender. lol.

anyway the price is

185/60/14 - RM195 + free balancing, alignment and 4 tire valve, Kim Heng Sunway (22 June 2009)

the manager there is very friendly, ah keong. but the staff there tried to chop me, asked me to install camber for RM55 each tire in front.

friendly is the key for chopping others brows.gif

PP2 of coz good lar, hard sidewall, but not much comfort lar

if we install camber nut we can really adjust the camber ar?

I think it still ok if you buy toyota cars... with normal setup...
coz the suspension is quite soft... so if harder tire you still feel ok...
just like i used 2 set of PP2 on my Vios...

but if you drive like honda... ppl will complain the ride quite harsh already...

Theoratically yes~ but it is impractical and it is actually to rectify a problem in your alignment.

proper alignment on tie rod 2 do adjustment if ur car goin straight but ur steeering a bit 'senget' either 1 side~
unless no matter how u adjust ur car's alignment but still pulls to 1 side then only did up da effected side which causes d pulling~

btw who can give the best choice for those range 230 to below 230 price! for cheap performance tire?

toyo t1r , hankook v12 evo, bfgoodrich gforce, falken 912

the above are few different shop recommended different thing.

and all also recommded ad07 but then 4 tire together is already out of my budget compare from above tire and saw the price from the 1st page.

currenlty using yokohama parada spec 2. hmm is my 1st 15inch tire. but i can felt that is not that good. for cornering. cuz the sidewall was too soft. and need to pump up 255 pressure in it only can get better grip on corners. mayb good for drifter doh.gif

ok... you have only 2 choice i think... Michelin PP2 and also Yokohama S Drive... but for S Drive duno have 15" or not...
but PP2 suits u... you can give hankook V12 a try but the side wall was a lil towards comfort... smile.gif
Falken 912 forget it as it is softer than V12...

recommended to try Michelin PP2 which i find good in high speed maneuver... smile.gif

pump so much pressure also no good

try michelin PP2 or hankook V12 if you are more into cornering.

tat tyre ar, i think its for people who love to experiment + have steel balls cos the tyre never say max pressure .. only say do not go over 40psi to seat beads (which i think is the max pressure when mounting the tyre, not normal use)
kononnya performance tyre.. i use little bit (left 90%) the side tread there all become rough (chunking)
but the tyre is really soft sidewalls.. for 50 profile tyre it really feels like a 65 profile tyre, more comfy than PP2 55 profile. personally high pressure NCT5 is more predictable than this parada spec 2 (although the grip of NCT5 is worse, the parada sidewall too soft to do serious cornering)
i think hor, the parada spec 2 can be said as the "unker punya comfortable performance tyre". yoko tyre w/o advan in the name, cannot hantam.

Ahaha.. wanna inquire on 235/75/15 size, agak agak how much is michelin/bfgoodrich/bridgestone?

wah, really that soft mer? NCT5 is very soft already, if parada spec 2 more soft means just looking by naked eye also feel like lack of pressure already lor.

well for that size if you want comfort and less noise you should try out the NEW Michelin Primacy LC...
PP2 is more towards performance which you have good cornering ability but the ride is a bit bumpy...
you can feel small bumps on the road... luckily ur stock Myvi suspension is tuned for comfort...
BTW you can use the 185/65 R14...

the Powerblitz throw away la... really sucks...

the primacy is towards comfort ar bro? does it has the ori size for myvi?

comfort-wise:
primacy> pp2> xm1

handling:
pp2> primacy> xm1

thread wear? and may i know how does falken 912 fits into the comparison?

i bought 4 pp2 from kim heng michelin tire center at sunway for rm195 each, it includes free balancing, alignment and 4 new tyre valve. the manager there is friendly but just becareful of the staff there, they might try to chop you on camber nuts for RM55 each tire at the front, myvi stock rims/tires normally doesn't need camber nuts.

this 185/60/14 size very hard to find, you have to scout around. the speedo meter didn't change much, just +/- <1% faster only based on my gps speed reading. use the tire calculator to count before you change, but for pp2 14" size, there is only one size.

comfort should be Xm1 first in my opinion, PP2 is more to handling

Ze912 should be on par with Xm1

if you are not into performance driving or track driving, i recommend you dont go for toyo tires, their tires are good, good grip in both wet and dry depends on the tires, but their tires dont last long, but the grip it provide are superior, and it doesn't come with cheap price, 15" should be ranging from RM250+

if you want more you can try google, but you will get roughly the same list as the first page, and it is already very sufficient for your usage since the price of tires are almost the same

Added on June 27, 2009, 2:17 pmi think i have to accept the fact that Ze912 shoulder wear and tear is abit faster than the center, maybe is due to the curve at the sidewall there, unlike PP2 where the sidewall is almost 90 degree to the road contact surface

o o.. finally found someone using pp2 for stock myvi rim.. may i know how much n where u bought it? and, does that diff tire size affect ur speedo reading, u got redo the speedo?
the primacy is towards comfort ar bro? does it has the ori size for myvi?

so if i sum up is..

comfort-wise:
primacy> pp2> xm1

handling:
pp2> primacy> xm1

thread wear? and may i know how does falken 912 fits into the comparison?

thanks a lot biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

wrong... comfort wise... is XM1 > Primacy > PP2...
XM1 is comfort basic tire... and Primacy is for more Luxury cars... PP2 is for Sporty drive... smile.gif

if handling is a must for you try out PP2...
if comfort please to to look for XM1... remember XM1 really cannot do hard cornering...

well he can change the stock tire to 195/60 R15 or change to 195/55 R15
which this 2 is the common size...
195/60 R15 can use Michelin XM1 about RM200 when i change at Klang on March...
or Michelin Primacy LC / Yokohama C or A Drive / Toyo Teo Plus / Falken 912
195/55 R15 you can choose Michelin PP2 or Primacy LC / Hankook V12 (hot tire now) / Falken 912 / Yokohama C or A R1 Drive / Toyo T1R...

which you prefer??? Handling or Comfort??? tell us your prefer choice...
then what is your budget range... smile.gif

all pricing is during listed below is what i managed to enquire on March ~ April...

195/60 R15
Michelin XM1 - RM200 (Includes Balancing, Valve and also alignment) Klang
Michelin Primacy - RM240 (Includes Balancing, Valve and also alignment) Klang
Goodyear Assurance - RM190 (Includes Balancing and Valve) Jalan Klang Lama PJU2 if not mistaken

195/55 R15
Hankook V12 - RM185 (Includes Balancing, Valve and Nitrogen gas) Klang *I bought this around middle of May
Michelin PP2 - RM 240 (Includes Balancing and Valve) Klang
Michelin Primacy - RM210 (Includes Balancing, Valve and also alignment) Klang
Falken 912 - RM180 (Includes Balancing and Valve) Klang

or you can upgrade your Rim size to 16" which the tire will cost around RM300... tire size will be 205/50 R16 or 205/45 R16...

185/60R15 is an odd tire size, for wider range of tires to choose, we will recommend you to use 195/55R15 or 195/50R15.

agree with you. a satisfied 195/55/r15 S-drive user here smile.gif
price / performance is a lot better than Ze912. comfort level better than T1R. very stable at fast corner. tested cornering around 130km/h during a way down from cameron sometimes ago. the tyre's grip stay but the stock suspension almost gave way sweat.gif
part of the reason could be that i bought a used T1R with about 80% thread from a friend while the S-drive is new smile.gif so, can't really compare but a new T1R cost a lot more than S-drive!

its the replacement for the ventus v8 rs, cheapest and most reasonable 14" tire, so there you have it. i'm already on the previous model, and this performance tread is silent while having a staggered V-tread design which is great in the wet. beats your ducaro ga, powerblitz 1800, ziex 912 in price and performance (well not the falken as its RM10 cheaper per tire), wet or dry.

thanks all for the reply.

pp2 is in my list last time but the thread line is not as good as those performance type .

haha as hankook rs2 really look nice thread line.

yes i more into cornering~ so compare pp2 and hankook rs2 which 1 better? who ever try this two on cornerin before?

parada spec 2 really can bring u to hell~ for drifter really is not bad tyre haha .
i pump 255 pressure cuz that wanna make the side wall more harder.
but it does work well but then the tyre just dont like to bite the road much.
brand new of this tire does work very well but u spend it 30% after the tire just suck after that.

Don't be fooled by tyre tread pattern. PP2 old skool pattern works pretty well in dry & wet. If you want nice looking pattern, RE001 is the one you are looking for.

Korean, Indo, Taiwan made not my favour, call me bias or whatever. I am the old skol type who only trust branded tyre.

Pilot Sport, GdYear F1 Assym, RE050 tread pattern not that interesting but it is all rounder, perform well in Dry and Wet.

PP2 is consider performance tires, stiff and firm sidewall, good for cornering

most of the tires have soft sidewall, unless is some performance tires, because normal tires are aim for comfort, pump more pressure to the tires doesn't make the sidewall stiffer, it is still soft, and you will overinflated your tires and causes it to lose grip, under extreme cornering or rainy day your tires will skid...

wow... PP2 not nice??? i tell you PP2 is one of the best all rounder... except it's side wall is on hard side...
Hard braking, Heavy Rains, Patch of Water will not even derail from it driving line...
I do drive at 170km/h with some times hard braking... (SEG without ABS) still gripping well...
heavy rains (Vios) raining cats and dogs still driving 130km/h did not feel anything slipping on PLUS...
Hydroplanning... you don need to worry it is among the best in the class... 60km/h over a 2cm deep water patch... no problem...
it will not turn pull you car sideways automatically... smile.gif

don n get cheated by it's thread... haha... BTW i use 2 sets already... b4 shift to Hankook V12... no $$$

Hi guys, I've a tyre size of 185/65R15. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've checked around the tyre shop and was told that they have limited type of tyre for this size.

Any advise on where I can get a good Micheline/Bridgestone tyre that have this size? I think going back to Nissan should cost more to replace the same tyre outside.

odd tire size, i suggest you to upgrade to 195/55R15 if you want more tires to choose from.

i dont recommend you to go back to service center for tire replacement as they are not good in this things, most of them will just use back the OEM tires, which are not very good.

but some people believe that the alignment and balancing machine in the service center are very accurate doh.gif

5.5JJ is the rim width...

for that size 195/60 R15 you can try
Michelin XM1 or Michelin Primacy LC or Falken 912...

if you want to get 195/65 R15 also can... still within the +/- 3% rules...

My dad's Avanza also change to this size... more common... smile.gif
he is using Michelin XM1 now...

Just sharing my experience on 15-INCH tyres:

PIRELLI P7 (195/50/15) made in Brazil on week 69 of 2007 - RM 190/pcs [inclusive align + balance; but not so good job] <--- Bought these on 29-Dec-2008.

MY Feedback after approx. 8-mths usage: Excellent traction and worth the money if you are a hard driver. Suffers slightly louder road noise as most performance tyres do.

Last checked with Pirelli @ Glenmarie, they claim P7 no longer brought into Malaysia. Will need to check with my regular tyre supply shop to verify again.

BRIDGESTONE MY-01 (195/50/15) made in Japan/Thailand - RM 180 [inclusive align + balance; but not so good job] <--- Last checked on Feb-2009.

My adopted brother runs them on a Satria and swears by them (best affordable performance tyres he says). He states that it has good traction on both wet & dry cond (though I find the Pirelli P7 has slightly better traction on both conditions). Advantage to BRIDGESTONE MY-01 so far, which I agree to, is that it generates less road noise compared to most other performance tyres.

Both tyres has ratings of = Temperature (A) & Traction (AA)

NOTE - This is just my personal opinion on tyres within the range of RM170 - RM200. Of course if you are willing to pay more, you may get better tyres with superior performance.

P/S - Am now searching hard for shops which carries PIRELLI P7s (195/50/15) at price range within RM200 so that I can breathe easy when the lifespan of my current tyres end. Anyone whom has more information, kindly share ya...cheers!
