Beware of the alignment service provided there.

Anyway, recently tires price up 5-10%.

Dear all,

i have one last question to consider before changing my tyres this saturday. I would like to make an informed decision and I have actually consulted quite a few sifus here namely michael and kcng. They provide very good feedback to aid my decision. This post should not be to taken to mean that I do not value your respective feed back.

My tyre is 195/55/15. Tempted to change to 195/50/15
It's a choice between RE001 and PS3. May I know which of the two offers better grip for cornering?

As for myself, I am very keen to try out both. If I were to get PS3 this time around, I will get RE001 the next round. biggrin.gif

PS3 is good for road but in track is found wanting ah...
just remember...

No one can give me personal experience on the RE050 ar

well that is higher range... i think you can try others like GY F1 Asy, PS3, and others too... your preference on the tires make your day... Comfort, Handling and Noise... which is most important... if noise is a concern skip all directional tires for safe play...

QUOTE(cslee007 @ Feb 23 2011, 11:34 AM)
Ok. I'll look into the Falken 912, Nexen N8000 or Yokohama C Drive 2.
Btw, how about Yokohama A drive and Goodyear Assurance or Excellence?

those are so so... A Drive is entree level while C Drive is 1 step higher... smile.gif

I see i see.. Owh..Thanks then my car's alignment should be ok now...

From what I observed, Tech Ming Auto service, they actually measure the front tires distance by using meter tapes after put on the alignment machine (when there is still red alert on one aside, the alignment man put the car down then measure using meter tape,test drive, then done. RM20 charged for alignment)

For the second shop I went to Sing Ming Tyres nearby Equine park,Seri Kembangan behind Esso. The alignment test drive my car, put my car on the alignment machine, do adjustment till the PC show both are 0, tires both sides are green, then he went to test drive again. Then he switch the front tyre right<->left, test drive again. Then done. Charged only RM10.

Conclusion is I feel my car is better after the second time alignment.

Anyway, for the best result I think is better to go for the shop people recommend at the best alignment sifu thread. Whereby Kin Alignment is one of them.

u should insisted them to realign back, i did 2 times return and waste some of my time i got mine done...
i changed rim and tires with them, alignment sucks during 1st and 2nd was better and 3rd is good... they swap tires around, unmount and remount, i don care as i want to have it properly aligned...

skip S Drive... skip what so ever directional tires if you wanna have a more quiet drive... hankook tires that you are using is V8rs or V12 evo, both is directional thread...
RE001 or PS3 is better...

what you want from the tires??? what is your budget and what model u used b4... mind to give some comment so that we are give you more proper idea which model is more suitable for you...
cheers...
