Quite good tires.

Because currently I am using that
Ditched my paradas after my 2nd tyre punctured within 7 months

review it more~

hi guys...

i'm looking for something around 16"...

i tried toyo t1r... i love the grip, quiet and pretty good with wet surface.. i would love to try other tires which is as good as this but wif lower budget.. sometwhere around 250-300 would match my wallet the best...

btw, my tire size is 205/45/16... recommendation is reli reli much appreciated..

205/45/R16
Hankook V12 Evo - RM 255 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (May 09)
Falken Ziex ZE-912 - RM245 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (May 09)

you only have this 2 choice which is cheap and nice...
if you wan directional thread go for V12... but sure it will be noisier than 912... its grip is better...

for comfort n quiet drive Falken 912... but you can ask for Michelin Primacy LC also... around RM300 if not mistaken...

is falken nice? somehow i heard many bad reviews on it rather than good ones..hmm

well fren... there is nothing as cheap and very good...
Falken is good if you wanna hv comfort and not bad traction...
of course the best tire around is Michelin PP2, Yokohama S Drives, Yokohama AD08, BS Adrenalin RE-001 or even Toyo's also not bad...
Hankook V12 is directional tires from Korea it will give you comfort + performance of course not on the par of those i mention above...
if you really wan pure handling and gripping... pls skip falken 912 or Hankook V12...

bro maxximus, from the price list thread...

GY F1 Assy should be affordable... it is quite comfy with performance...
try to ask the price 1st...

For GY F1 Assy, only 225/40/18 available, 2ndly is way out of my budget, was quoted RM778 (German made). Me not affordable for that price.

sorry then... then Falken is your choice...

u can try Hankook also... not bad... but 225/40 R18 or 235/40 R18 only...

Its ok. Already change to Falken ZE912, within budget and same size as the stock tyre. Furthermore, wifey is not an aggressive driver. So I think it is good enough.

ok...
