somewhere in taman maju jaya, kl. yup. rm5 / tire. rm3/tire is for subsequent refill. i tried few other shop before but pressure only maintain for about 50 days.
suspected those shop mixed their nitrogen with oxygen.
btw, help a friend changing the tires of her myvi somewhere in may this year. falken 912 with nitrogen filling. till now, the pressure drop is only about 10kpa. so, i guess, it worth the filling.

depending on your budget. either v12 evo or gy f1 asymmetric will be fine. smallest gy f1 asymmetric is 205/45/r17.
if you don't mind slightly softer sidewall but good wet and dry grip, ps3 is fine too. but price is higher.

don that 205/45/17 will be more thin compare to 215.?? then i guess it will be more noisy since is too thin. is it corect. sory i m noob on the tire knowledge.
Michelin i not dare to aim alr. coz the price is very high. but i know the quality is there...

tire is determined by width / profile / wheels size.= 205/45/r17
205 is tire width. 205 had slightly lesser surface contact compare to 215. getting a wider tires is fine. make sure the inner tires' sidewall did not touch the inner fender during full steering turn.
profile = thin. the lower the profile, the thinner the tires if you could call it thinner 45 should be just fine for sporty looks and handling. but there is sacrifice in comfort.
the thicker the profile, ie; profile 60, the more comfortable the ride is(partly determined by absorber setup, tires type and pressure too).

noise is mostly determined by road condition... just kidding tires tread pattern, material being used and tires' tread wear %.
the deeper the tread; like those of deep directional tread like goodyear f1 gsd3 or dunlop fm903, the noisier they are.
as the tread wear out, any tires will become noisy too. hope this help

then F1 Asy or V12 is ur choice...

PS3 sidewall is harder than V12... V12 sidewall is more flex than PS3 during hard corner...
if you think V12 sidewall is soft then PS3 is just nice... just stick to ur stock tire pressure recommendation PS3 should work well but with V12 u need another 1~2 PSI to feel better...
using it b4 switch to PS3 and also the grip wise PS3 also slightly better than V12...

sidewall softer <-- what is the pro and cons? i m vy noob on tire.....

at the end, i just wan to find a set of tire that give comfort and silent as top priority and can last long if posible
so far i seldom chk my current tire pressure on petrol station/ shop . only depend on the SC when i service my car.... lolz...
but did follow 10k km rotate the tire accordingly.

side wall sifter means more comfort... but handling will loose out a bit cos the tire sidewall will flex during the corner...
V12 i think did a great job la... but noise is very subjective... overall V12 user is quite happy...

Hi guys, where can find Hankook Ventus S1 Evo ( Made in Korea ) or Michellin PS3?
Price around RM190 is okay if near KL.

Im using 195/50/15R now, should i change to 45 profile ?

no idea about s1 evo but ps3 should be around 240 bucks each. quoted by a shop in pandan jaya.
if you're driving in kl frequently, stick to profile 50.

Any good tyres for Kancil 13 inch? standard... long lasting and harder side walls

S1 Evo starts at 16" as per bro KC mention... PS3 will not be that cheap 195/50 R15 easily cost you RM230... as i know 195/55 R15 is around RM260 now... Hankook V12 Evo is around RM190

195/45 R15 is odd size so u should maintain to ur current size...

Any good tyres 205/55 R16 in wet and dry condition? Can get below 350?

maybe Hankook V12 is good for you... if not can try to top-up a lil for PS3...

Bfgoodrich is not bad also~

just got Hankook Evo V12 for less than Rm350 ..

find dificulty to search for V12... any shop suggestion.. ampang/ ulu klang area... looking for 205/16/50
