well the side wall height 195 is slightly thicker so slightly better lo...
well PS3 now is promo period... 195/55 R15 selling around RM220~250... try to ask a few shops should be priced around there... if 185/55 R15 i heard is around RM200... if not mistaken a lot ppl i using that size already woh in CT... very weird to say it will hit anything coz a lot of ppl also put 16" or 17" into CT mah |

QUOTE(F1meteor @ Apr 1 2010, 05:21 PM) hi guys What kind of bullshit is that? If that's case, then one of the manufacturer is not making the tyre to spec. How can she say that one tyre is bigger than the other when they are both the same size? She is trying to tell you that the Michelin is wider than the Falken by 10mm (which is alot) and have sidewalls taller by 5.5mm, therefore it is better to use the 185/55/R15 instead? I would not buy any tyres from her.i'm driving a honda city vtec (not i-vtec version) Currently i'm using Falken 195/55/R15, decided to change 2 sets of tyres well, the boss recommended me Michelin PS 3 185/55/R15. She said (yes, she) Michelin 195 is bigger than Falken 195, advised me to use 185 instead. Price wise, RM210 including nitrogen (which i think is useless  )So, should I go with 195 or 185?  |

LOL.. yea man.. she told me Michelin is like gwai lou's size. asian size smaller
 so take 185...well, i think the price she offered for 185 (RM210) is quite cheap lo.. as it's near my area, no need drive so far away. i'll try to ask for 195 tmr, see what price she offers... |

QUOTE(ralf @ Mar 24 2010, 10:34 PM) Currently i am still on RE001, clocked 22-23k km dee, still have 50% tread..3 out of 4 tyre being patched before due to screw/nails !!! still left one tyre is virgin!:( ..next month gonna change liao together with service. LoL,  RE001 dry cornering is brilliant, rubber wear down to 30-40%, groove show "J" pattern..looks really Good !  PP2 lose quite abit. RE001 on damp surface(wet), when it is new..ok. I notice at wet tarmac, it can be slippery, just becareful not to drive too fast. Be patient, listen to music and drive cautiously.. RM250 Michelin PS3 is the price i ask from few Penang Michelin dealer..still haven't decide which to go for..RE001 RM295-300. AD08 got ready stock, but price aar...after negotiate still RM480 per piece. Hmm.. Still haven't decide which to go for..PS3 pricing wise is attractive, tread pattern somehow dull, design is a decade ago.  Can save rm200 if buy PS3 compare to RE001..if PS3 dry traction doesn't satisfied..then next change gonna be RE001 again !  RE001 is also known RE760 wor..that's i found on the net. you so unlucky... agreed with you on what you said on RE-001.  do update me if you change to new tires, because i want to know the RE-001 can clocked till what mileage ... since you are using RE-001 now, you should go for PS3 for next tire change what, so that you can compare each other with same car setting... |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Apr 1 2010, 04:39 PM) but careful of some corners very sharp indeed u cannot se the opposite cars until last sec... got a few cars gone down the valley b4 at 1 corner... that is wat the mechanics and also my mum's colleague is telling me... Noted, then will try early morning time less car...best time to get vegeQUOTE(Gouki @ Apr 1 2010, 05:04 PM) the new road from Simpang Pulai is not that bad like the Tapah road~ Simpang Pulai road to Cameron consists of a lot highspeed corners~ during a downhill from Cameron~ some corners can touch 160kmh easily~ where else the Tapah is much narrow with slow corners~ that will be more challenging and risky, provided if you know what you are doing~ yes i hear that too few friends flat out that corner.... |
