i drove a friend's car fitted with made in indonesia's ze-522 last year. it's wet grip sux big time.
you should go for ze-912 instead. silent and decent grip overall.

cartack@
how much is your budget? and preference? perhaps, you could try xm1. quiet and comfort but lesser tread wear rate.

Str33tBoY@
decent tires. you already know what to check. never settle for more than 1 year old tires.

10 shop i go...
they said 912 noisy after a while...
10 ppl u ask in lyn...
they suggest me dis tire...
haha...
i think i jz believe lyn sifu and go for it ba...
btw...
where falken 912 made...?
or which country should i choose...?
btw...
michelin xm1 from china kah...?
coz i last time i went to a tire shop...
my fren show me made in china eh...

same comment i get at my place too....
end up.... i change the XM1 for my 14 inch rim ... but is Jan'10 tyre.....
but it really silent when driving......

btw, i am surveying 17 inch one for my father's car..... since no budget.... that shop boss recommend me Forsa Brand(Indonesia one). does anyone here used it before....
and also Duro(made in taiwan). both price range around RM270 for 215/45/R17.... please comment on this 2 tyres....
appreciate that....

XM1 silent ar...
wow...
poison me...
but i guess is out of my budget adi...

my budget is around rm190 per tire.... how much is xm1? how about AR-10?

use hankook instead of those indonesia tyre. i think is CORSA no forsa

rm190/pc for michelin xm1 175/65/r14 is more then enough , got mine 185/60/r14 for rm180(can get cheaper) a year ago. size 175/65/r14 is definitely cheaper then size 185/60/r14, should below rm170/pc.

nah! any tires will become noisy after a while, or as soon as the tread wear out.
made in thailand is fine. for some reason, stay away from those made in indonesia falken. drove friend's car fitted with indonesian made falken 522
sometimes ago and the wet grip is very bad.
btw, it will be very much depend on your budget.
xm1 is quieter due to the low rolling resistance tech and perhaps slightly different compound. anyway, it's tread wear out
faster. even so if you're an aggressive driver.

phas3r@
smallest ps3 size was 15". xm1 has far better grip than nct5, especially in wet.
btw, nct5 will become slippery when it tread become lesser than 70%. no advisable for spirited driving.

190 is definately a killing price~
it's ard rm 170 or 175 per piece~


cuz it's cheap n 1 malaysia + malaysian made tires~

Any idea of pricing ?

215/45R17 Michelin Pilot Preceda 2

Hi sifus, Regarding iswara 1.5 UK spec,

What is the size of the stock rim? I overhear the car mech saying the tayar is something like 150/90.

With a budget of RM 17--180, What can be the best choice given my limited budget?

Thanks a lot for your help

get goodyear eagle 185/55-15 which is similiar to 195/50-15

does newbie driver benefit from performance tire?

been offered 215/45/17 BS RE001 for RM480 apiece. nice price?

is there any advantage of using that specific size and brand? Is it possible to get a set of tyre that save back a bit on FC with my limited budget?
