Try michellin XM1, its work perfectly on my myvi.

Sorry for newbie question:
What is difference between 185/65 R14 and 175/65 R14 ?
Do you recommend to change 2 front tyres first, then change the front to the back and get 2 more new ones for the front ?

overall diameter just a little bigger... still save within the 3% rules...
means if your 175/65 R14 tire rotate 800 times within 1 miles but with 185/65 R14 tire you rotate 750 times within 1 miles...
means on stock tire the odometer shows 100km/h but with the 185/65 R14 you are driving at 101.5km/h actually...

ha you wan to change like that ar... hmmm i thought you wanna change 4 in 1set...
you can do like that... put new tires to the back... or just leave it at the back put new one on the front...

some more 185/65 R14 more common....

4 at once means you can do rotation properly... front 2 back... left to right also can...
2 at once only you can swap left to right...

normally la... 4 in 1 go the tire can last 1~2 years... some maybe 3 years...
depends how far you drive la... my gf car can last for 4 years...
just drive thru and flow to work... less than 40km each day... BTW 1 set tire can last around 30~40k km
so she have to drive 1000 working days to accomplish that...

got... 175/65 R14 not a common one... see the Myvi around properly...
most of them changed to 185/65 R14 or 185/60 R14...
this 2 size is widely available due to the previous model use them a lot...
if not they will change to 195/55 R15 or 205/45 R16... this will use 15" and 16" rim la...

stay away from the NCT5....may be cheap and last ong but theyre lousy....especially in the wet it gets really slippery...

go with the Hankook V8RS

any quiet tyre recommend ah?

*without burning the wallet too much

ori size for myvi is 185/60/14, not vios/city weird size 175/65/14.

XM1 is cheap and lasts long but has terrible traction in wet. NCT5 is actually ok, but overpriced. you may try falken zeix 912 at about RM140 per tyre or hankook v8rs at RM146 per tire.

yokohama a-drive is a good overall tire too, about Rm140+ each.

er... NCT 5 ok??? haha...
nvm I use XM1, NCT5 and also PP2 b4... i can say worst is NCT5...
nvm everyone have their own point of view...

BTW you are wrong with the Ori size tire of Myvi... see it your self here...

you can try bridgestone AR10 and yokohama A drive also....

nah, there are several batches of 185/60/14 for myvis. my gf's car came with NCT5 whereas the Myvis you get now are using some silverstone model. NCT5 is actually not bad, if you know how to drive the car within the tire's limits. sure, it screeches and wails, but it still grips even when there's 20% thread left, unlike the super hard compound XM1s >.<

well mine came with NCT5 and its 175 but that's 4 years ago.

XM1 super hard compounds.... hmmm... i got an accident until the sport rim broken...
my XM1 still can use... but nvm different point of view.. by XM1 certainly good choice for family car...
my Vios stock NCT5 will easily activate the ABS during raining...

till now Perodua have not change it's spec b4... on the website still same... 175/65 R14...

My current stock Goodyear Eagle NCT (175/65 R14) lasted 24 months only (approx 42000km) . How long are good tyres suppose to last ?

that's longer than my gf's car
her's are 20% rear, 40% front, 36000 kms on the odo.
