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  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? |

QUOTE(wch5274 @ Jun 4 2009, 10:31 PM) 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..  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...  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..   QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 5 2009, 12:43 AM) 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. Am looking to change 4 pcs at once. there'll be a surcharge of abt 3% if not mistaken. QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 5 2009, 09:14 AM) what is your Ori Size... what is you car model??? 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. 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...  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... 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. |

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. |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 8 2009, 12:41 PM) haha A drive don have inside outside... you can flip at ever you want if not mistaken... 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. 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... 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 This post has been edited by vreis: Jun 8 2009, 02:36 PM |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 8 2009, 02:36 PM) hmmm you can give Hankook V12 a try... How about Michelin MX1 or Primacy LC? i mean in terms of price & drivability + comfort?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... |
