I'm new to cars and more so about tyres. Need some advice from all the sifus here for sure!

My dad's Wira is currently using Michelin 175/70 R13 for about 3.5 years now. Well he doesn't drive around much so the mileage is pretty low. The front two tyres are balding a bit on the edges.

I'm thinking on changing them for him but I'm not sure what I should be using. I went to ENEOS and they told me the promotion is Falken. Change 4 for RM517 and the alignment is free. Bridgestone Potenza is like RM163 per tyre.

My dad basically drives around town and he's a safe driver. So basically not speeding or taking fast corners. Anyone can recommend something good?

Thank you.

that size you can try Michelin XM1, Goodyear Ducaro GA, Bridgestone AR10...
you don have potenza tires in that size... sweat.gif skip falken 522,322... the grip in wet sucks...

I am new to tire and hope that all sifu's here can give me some advice.

My current tire size is 195/55 R15 and already been using it for around 4 years now. I travel around 50++ KM daily and most of the time will be on highways.
My friends recommended me to change to Michelin PS3. And i was quote at RM 285 each.

Please give your comments or can recommended something good.

Thanks in advance.

Surprisingly the rim is ok. Drove right into a pothole during a rain storm in KL. Must have cut the sidewall on the edge of the pothole instead of falling straight into it as it happened at the apex of the corner as I was turning.

tough luck. lucky no damage to your rim.
btw, pp2's sidewall is still a tad harder than it's replacement in ps3.

dunlop d-01 is made of hard rubber compound which is more suitable for gravel road tongue.gif . can't expect much from it's asking price.
is you're wiling to pay more, there are ps3, hankook v12, or kumho ku-31 to choose from.

about time to change tires. 4 years down the road will caused quite a wear to your current tires.
current price for ps3 should be around 260 bucks each with wheel balancing. check around for better offer.
for normal driving style, yokohama c.drive or continental comfort contact 5 is decent enough with 195/55/r15 pricing should be
less than 200 bucks apiece.

a big different... CC1 is entree level and it's grip sucks...
big different about 2~3 step higher... should be around RM200~220...

BTW i'm using 1 set of CC1 and i can't wait to throw away this set of 185/60 R14 tires... might want ot upgrade to 15" or even buy others Michelin also will not buy another set of Continental...

ok ok la... but i think it should wear faster than PS3 or V12... coz it's wear rate is at 280 only, where as the other 2 is at 320... what price are you getting this???

Price list from Auto world...
205/55R16
Continental SC1 - RM390 Tmn Molek, JB (Jan 10)
Duro DP3000 - RM235 ZEP SG. Petani (Sept. 01)
Falken ZE912 - RM250 Masai Tyre & Battery, Kota Masai (Feb 10)
Federal 595 Evo - RM 325, Teoh Brothers Klang (Oct 10)
Michelin PS3 (Thailand) - RM430 Michelin Glenmarie (May 10)
Michelin PS3 (Thailand) - RM430 Michelin Chin Song Tyres - Puchong (Oct 10)
Nexen N8000 - RM 280 Quicksave, USJ (Oct 10)
Pirelli P7 - RM350 - Klang (Jul 09)

i prefer V12 if you want cheaper tires below RM300...

but still depends on what you want... Comfort??? Handling??? Noise??? apparently if you prefer to have better grip then you might need to sacrifice your comfort and noise a lil...

PS3 is good but still depends on your preference and what you can pay for...

hello all sifu here, i have 2 questions on my mind and i hope i can get your replies asap!

1st- i got a wira and i think it is 175 /70 R13, tyre shop(at kuantan) quote me rm135/pc for good year duraplus or rm125/pc for falken(dont know what code). which 1 is better? i feel like wanna go for good year duraplus as HE CLAIMED that can go for 100k km. this car is for city use only so what i care is the DURABILITY AND SAFETY(good in wet road etc) only.

2nd- any good tyre recommend me at 205/55/R16? budjet around rm250/pcs. more to traction(performance) and care less about noise, bump etc. This car always go for outstation so you know la, safety is my 1st priority!

no comments never use those unknown brand b4...
what is the traction rating???
but by seeing at the thread design it will be noisy... a lot of those unknown brand tire's grip in dry still ok but in wet sometimes it fail...

you can read the review here...

base on the result... it does not even close to Hankook V12... what is your size??? what is the price for that KR20???
