XM1+ tire from Michelin Australia...

michael, where do u get those price ya?

Guys I'm considering between XM1 and LC Premacy.

Which one is better in performance and price wise?

The shop owner keep telling me XM1 is new and better then premacy.

is S1 evo tyre sidewall is as hard as RE001? or can suggest any other tyres that have similar characteristic as RE001...i prefer tyres that have hard sidewall..
size from 195/50/15 to 205/24/16 only, thanks...

S1 EVO sidewall softer than RE001.



Even though the RE001 is 50 profile,
but it definitely harder than S1 EVO...

anyone can recommend some place to get "cheap" d Hankook V12....for size 205/45/R17....
heard some facts said...tyre price gonna increase....in march...rite???

well that is my estimation after i gone thru the previous price list...
might not be accurate thats y i always put there '~' means around...
price increase already might be different...


XM1 is entree level and Primacy LC is higher rank... PP2 and PS3 is performance level already...
price wise Primacy LC is more expensive... performance wise should be Primacy is better but not by huge different... as both is comfort base tires...

Tek Ming is another good place... u can try Hin Leong, Ban Hooi or Teoh Bros from Klang also...

Hi guy,

just change my 4pcs PP2 to Hankook V8rs. burned RM1240 total...
feeling more comfort and silent compare to PP2. but the tyre sound still there.
not sure after run in will become more silent or not. hopefully it wont disappoint me la....

what size bro ?

215/45/17....

If you want a silent car with super low tyre noise then buy a car with good NVH At the same time, performance tyres will always be noisier so if you want something quiet, you don't get tyres with good grip.

well Kumho ESPT is the worthy one but directional tires is a lil noisier compare to asy type (eg PP2)

no the sound will not go away much as it is a directional tires... u should try S1 Evo instead coz that is more silent as it is asymmetric thread... directional in theoretically will be noisier than asymmetric tires... that size you can get Goodyear F1 Asy also but if will cost you another RM400/set i think, but worth it... grip is nice, comfort is decent and it is more silent...

i remember i told you this sentence previously...

"""Skip Directional tires if you concern about noise level from the tires..."""

u should use those Asymmetric tires like, PS3, F1 Asy, S1 Evo, RE001 or RE050


haha... you are correct...

but still ppl expect that... Asymmetric or Symmetric thread tires will be more silent...

yaya.. i do remember that.... but with this range of price, i guess it should be value for money already...

as i recalled, one of the forumer mention that S1 evo have harder sidewall tat tends to be more noisy compare to S12evo... i i guess the V8rs's comfortness should be comparable with V12.. not sure true or not...
haha... anywaym since alr change, then just enjoy it la....

even the famed ad07 had a slightly softer sidewall compare to re001(at least side from side by side comparison). then again, the now out of production
ad07 is more expensive. re001 gotta be the best bang for bucks.
it's wet traction and grip is somehow better than other higher rating tire. but my re001 reaching 70% of tread usage tend to be noisy.
bushes / arms / wheel bearing is barely few month old. so, i guess the noise is down to the tire.

haha just enjoy la... my bro in-law more worst, Federal 595 Evo and found out that it is humming all the time...
i sat in his car 1 time found out really loud...
he say after another year he will change...

well all tires after 50% usage will tends to make noise lo... so really depends on individual...
some ppl change only reaching indicator while some change when they felt irritating on the noise...

meaning that u feel that the V8 is roughly the same as the federal 595 ar.....
hopefully it will give more comfort in other way la.. else after 1yr++ downgrade to 16 inch and fit with XM1 or 2 perhaps or PS3...
