sorry i think your XM1 is abit expensive...
i bought at Hin Leong Klang... cost me RM200/pc for full set...  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...

Why there is no price list for 185/60R15 (for Vios)?

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.
Hm... I've heard cases of guys on stock suspension Vios hitting the inside of the fenders on full lock wif 195/55R15 but couldn't really confirm as I don't know their rim spec

215/45/17
Toyo T1R - Rm1K (2pcs) @ Seng Heng Tayar & Batteries
inclusive allignment + balancing

- Handling is good, test on 150km/h on heavy raining day.
- even better grip on dry.
- very2 noisy if go more than 100km/h

ask them to do it la...
rubber valve i think RM5 per pc only... balancing... off wheel RM6, on wheel RM10 (if not mistaken)

Just change 4 of mine to Goodyear NCT 192 55 R15 at Hin Leong, RM153 each. Feel like not that cheap lah..............If in Klang Valley, normal tire shop how much ah?

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

i want, but now no budget..

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..
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 !!

Luckily can patch..or else i will *cry* 

But most people commented Michelin tyres not suitable drive in M'sia road due to the design problem, especially at raining day, the water flow not fast enough. No doubt its smoothness and quiet, but get botak also fast... then u have to change another set liao... haha..

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.

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

... just drive carefully & follow the speed limit

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.
