V12 is much more silent compared to S1 Evo.. Comfort also V12 better.. S1 Evo like sitting on horse.. I am using V12 for my Myvi..

S1 Evo performance very good.. Cornering very stable.. Only for dry though.. Wet not that good..

Anyone know where i can get hankook v12 or falken 912? other than going to klang.

Checked out tek min n few other recomended ones in sunway n subang, few shops in cheras, they either have no stock or dont carry them.

for Falken 912, i can't guarantee, but V12 Tek Ming do have stock.

But price compare to Klang

Added on January 29, 2011, 8:48 pmWhat is your budget for new tires? Klang price is definitely competitive, but you have to be hard working to ask around and also bargain with the tire shop owner.

Thanks!!! i'll give them a call tomorrow

v12 for 195 / 50 / 15 how much ar...?
i mean d cheapest one...

I just changed 2 tyres yesterday.. 205/40/17 Hankook S1 Evo.. RM 300 each compared to RM 275 last year..

195/50/15 is RM 198.. 195/55/15 is RM 200.. Last year bought 195/50/15 only RM 175.. All tyre prices increased liao

i will take that into account bro. any other recommendations besides the PP2?

anyone changed their stock Vios E's 175/65R14 to 205/45R16? overall height should be almost the same... but will it loose a lot of pickup?

15" and 16" tyre prices a lot of difference? now sure if it's worth the upgrade or not... or maybe just stick back to 14" or upgrade to 15"...

Hi, I'm comparing to buy between Michellin Primacy LC or Continental CC5.

Can anyone advise on which is better? And also price wise?

I'm looking for comfort and fuel efficiency tire.

Thanks.

you need to calculate the big increased in tire and wheels weight / width as well. 205/45/16 tire is usually around 9.5kg/ea + 6.5kg/ea for lightweight 16" rims,
also, 175 and 205 width is quite a lot. there will be a compromise in steering feel, braking capability, speedometer reading, acceleration and fc.
perhaps, you should consider 195/50 or 55/15. bonus; 15" tire is slightly cheaper too.
michelin ps3 of 195/55/15 is around 250 while 205/45/16 is around 430.

xphossis@
you mean the newer conti comfort contact 5? i still put my money on primacy lc. beside being quieter, less flexing during a slightly spirited driving.
but it cost more thou.

thanks for your reply... i am thinking of the Satria Neo 16" Advanti R3 rims, damn nice... but tyres are a lot more expensive... maybe not worth the investment... also it's definitely heavier than 14"/15"

i'm using Premacy LC 195/55R15 on my City VTEC

what 15" light weight rims do you recommend?

kenji1903@
lightweight lenso and advanti seem to be the masses choice at the moment. surf around to find one that suit your taste. make sure to get the right size / pcd.

anyone here using the new yokohama c drive 2 tyres?

will 185/55R15 fit into rims with 6.5jj? from michelin's website, max is 6.5jj, not sure how it will look like but just afraid will give problems only...

What is the different between Nexen N8000 tyre compare to Roadstone N7000. It seems both from the same company and both Korean made

A shop in Tmn U, Skudai, Jhr quoting at RM330/pc plus free balancing n alingment for 225 45 R17 for Roadstone N7000.

How does this 2 tyre compare to Falken ZE522 (Indonesia)?

heard from tyre shop's boss mentioned that N8000 is noisy and have some sidewall crack complained... wondering is that true...
and he also mentioned N8000 is quite noisy as well compare to the maxxis IPRO he have in stock... dunno he got bluf or not...

it is here already ?
