Anyone can recommend 205/50/R16 tyre? Yokohama A Drive R1 ok?

IMO, for the price (rm245, last 2 years price) is OK. Can also try Falken-912 (yesterday priced at rm300). If got extra budget, go for PS3.

Falken-912 reputation not good leh... i google it found many bad review.

I'm using it before, better than R1 (dry and wet) but the tyre wear is Can't last me 30k km...

Falken-912 too soft adi. I also travel around 30k KM per year. R1 noisy or not?

IMO, noisier (a bit) compared to Falken.

Besides this two, any other? Budget RM1200 Max for 4 pcs.

Looking for new or used tire bro?

what is your criteria / preference?
yokohama a.drive r1 is too basic i'd rather get the china made kumho ku-36 over it. cost is only rm225 each from the tire shop in maluri.
else, kumho ecsta ku-31. cost around rm245 but that was last year pricing.
i tested the achilles atr a few month back. cost rm199 each with 420 tread wear and deep directional tread. also, performance is acceptable
on normal driving style but less progressive steering feel and lesser grip too.

hi michael,

my area is not too far from rawang. seriously, the rm40 is more than enough to cover fuel and time LOL.

My next tyre is going to be the potenza series hehehehe

changed new tyres for my saga blm on 28/02/2011.
before: goodyear ducaro ga 185/60r/14
new tyre: Michelin Energy XM1 185/60r/14 (RM170/pcs) buy from michelin official dealer at desa pandan.
comment about new tyre:
- quite (just hear engine sound)
- comfort
- more grip
- it give me more confident when cornering
- smooth driving
- not try for long ride yet (want to test when i go to terengganu)
- very-very happy with this new tyre
- not regret buying this tyre (until now)

Hi guys, need advice here.

I'm using old vios 2004.
Changed my abs+spring(Koni+Eibach).
Changed rims and tyres to 205/45/16 (RE001).

Feel abit bumpy.
Can my lowered car be fitted with 205/50/16?

Thanks

XM1 is old model, shall be replaced with LC. Check the date of manufacturing on tyres, if more than 3 years, then you probably 2 more years to go..

u have Falken 912, Michelin XM1, Goodyear Assurance, Yokohama C Drive...

nope i do not see R1 is a good tires...

well it wears faster than expected... that's all... it's grip and comfort is better than others comfort tires within the range...

i agree on that too... R1 is basiz only... KU-36, KU-31 is better... if not

you can get softer sidewall tires... Hankook V8rs... RE001 is a lil hard.. PS3 still ok ok... but if your ride is lower i think it is a lil hard too... too bad Hankook V12 does not have your size...

that size should be over the 3% of the OE size...

you are wrong... it is XM2... LC is replacement for MVX8...
