Guys,
My current tire is Bridgestone Turanza RFT 195/55/R16.
I'm planning to change to normal tire (not run flats). But i find the size is quite odd 195/55 for 16".
So which size do you recommend and what brand..
Thanks..

Dunlop Direzza if not mistaken... forget already...


not bad as per feedback but need some improvement on wet grip...

Toyo C1S wears faster than CT-01 as per feedback but not by much maybe the forummer corners a lot...
GR90 or Primacy LC also comfort... where are the 3 tires that you should look for...

V12, PS3 and F1 Asy is performance tires which is not as comfort as the others lo...

fren not driving fast in wet condition means u drive 80km/h??? do you know you can easily lost control at 80km/h in wet condition??? and do you know that speed is dangerous already in wet???


there is not such thing as good handling with good value and LONG LASTING... most of the lower profile tires will not last more than 40k km... depends how u drive...
try Quicksave USJ 1, Tek Ming Sunway, Hup Soon SS3...


195/55 R16 is odd but not as odd as the new CT size 185/60 R16 only Conti and Goodyear got this size...

you can change to 205/50 R16 which you have more choices... but the problem is how much you are willing to pay for your donuts?

is tyres significantly more expensive in S'pore?

any one got any price to compare, just 1 will do.

heard singapore tyres are original from japan, more reliable, true?

i'm using PS3 now, its comfort (coz of soft sidewall) n grip tyre (done good job in gymkhana event).. its weakness r at highspeed cornering i can felt the car a bit unstable due to soft sidewall..

well it is not comfort for some ppl... V12 is even softer...

narrow down to 3 choices now :

1. PS3
2. GY F1 asym
3. V12

which to go? does PS3 fit in my budget as for now? since the price keep on increasing nowadays.....
btw, roughly how long/far these tyre will last? 40K? plan to use it for next 3 yrs....

Am just changed to yokohama A drive for waja front both tyres..damaged rm185/pcs ...

Curious to know,

my sister car tyres is time to change,

any 185/60R14 tyre recommend?

too bad Hankook V12 Evo do not have 14" size...

yeah, my 2nd ride is still on 195/55/r15. but main ride burn rubber like no tomorrow.
btw, i did mentioned that the ps3 had the upper hand in wet / intermediate road condition but the re001 feel more planted on downpour.
the rest doesn't differ much . except for the stone hard sidewall on re001 which is good for touge' but bad for town potholes.

remember the thunderer tire i was testing sometimes ago? turn out it was even better than the china made kumho ku-36!
just imagine a ride on gsd3 with softer compound and sidewall. with just slightly less noise level

well fren all 17" tires will not last or should i say all lower profile tires will not last especially those UHP tires...
40k should not be a problem if you drive it with manner not wacking the corners everyday la...

yes i hate too bumpy ride as i old toy already on hard suspension setup never want to risk with RE001 make my ride harder...

wow... matching GSD3 standard means good... hehe....

anyone know the latest price for xm1?? 3 years ago it was 125/pcs only...last week i went for a quote...rm 190/pcs... size 175/70/r13

hehe... my driving style is very ordinary only... never high speed cornering also....
just sruvey 1 shop at my hometown area. PS3 for 215/45/17 RM495/pcs
exceed my budget alr..... might source for alternative alr..... perhaps GY or N8000/N6000 liao.... CNY coming soon.... burn alot alr....

btw, i think 40k is ok alr... seldom travel... usage less than 15k per yr i guess. so can tahan for 3 yrs ++ alr

what's the cheapest tyres for 205/45/17 other than those china made..using westlake tyres now but very noisy and the grip very bad

This post has been edited by Mooneyes: Jan 23 2011, 12:15 AM

that is over priced... should be around RM160/pc now... ask around and see, remember to ask for package price...

that size go for Hankook V12 and 595 Evo cheap and good but a lil noisy... coz both directional tires...
then u can opts for N8000 or even F1 Asy... N6000 or N5000 is not as good as N8000, they say grip in wet no really good...

Pricelist for 215/45R17
Federal 595 Evo - RM 285 GoodWood Tyre Service, Klang (Mar 10)
Goodyear F1 Asy - RM380 Quicksave (Feb 10)
Goodyear RS02 (Japan) - RM368 Quicksave (Apr 10)
Hankook V12 - RM330 Teoh Brothers Bayu Tinggi Klang (May 10)
Maxxis i-Pro - RM320 PJ Old Town (Jun 10)

Yokohama A Drive R1 - RM320 Hup Yik Tyre - Ipoh (Feb 10)
Dunlop Veuro VE302 (Japan) - RM425 Jooi Seng, Klang (Nov'10)

that one u might only have a few choices but stick to local made or china tires... try to ask Hankook V12 got that size or not...

still no luck on ku-31. anyone can help?

ur sis prefer handling or fuel saving? ?


only 160 per poiece mah~

S Drive u need to bear with the noise intrusion after sometime... the noise is quite annoying sometimes... other than that it is quite ok for spirited driving...
