maybe Hankook V12 is good for you... if not can try to top-up a lil for PS3...

Seems like sunway area and klang is have more shops selling it than others place...
If you don mind u can come around this area to survey around... Or u can call teik ming sunway to find out whether the size is available or not...

should below RM400 for 595 Evo...

if you wan a lil comfort and quiet then try GY F1 Asy... if not stick to cheaper solution Hankook V12 a lil comfort but not that quiet after 50% wear... S1 Evo i think is a lil pricey, if u take that y not top up a lil to get PS3 around RM450...

skip S Drive... noisy tires and wet grip is not as good as others... tested by Opel in Germany, it ranks below Michelin PP2, GY F1 Asy, Hankook V12 and some others tooo...

yes you are right... PS3 also when u buy 4 u can get 5 at the price for V12... is ur choice...
my 4 pcs of PS3 in 195/55 R15 cost me around RM900~1000 but if i buy Hankook V12 i only pay RM750~800 only so it is RM150~200 gap there, can get another already...

good price... might just go there if i need to change my old toy tires and rims...

well 17" should be around RM300 for Klang Valley price... penang, ipoh and ur place should be a lil more expensive... that is wat mostly happen...

who say so??? haha... PS3 is more quiet if you look at the thread, Asymmetric vs Directional... performance is similar but feedback on PS3 so far very positive, am using 1 set now... for the similar price i would prefer PS3 rather than trying out Federal donuts...
PS3 is slightly better than PS2 where it is 1 step higher than 595 Evo...
on the threadwear PS3 is having the better rating too 320 vs 595 Evo 260... so 595 Evo will wears faster than PS3...
my PS3 wears so far so good, much better than PP2 (rated at 280)...

well Primacy LC is comfort tires and it is green tires so it will has lesser roller resistance... where as if compare to those performance tires, Primacy LC will be more fuel saving... but the grips of the tires is the opposite way, so u get more grip from CSC than LC...

V8rs is older gen of V12 i think you know of this...
but that is another problem of front back rotation also... your rear wheels might wear unevenly thats all, let it run about 500km to wears it off and see... have this problem b4 also, but it is not purely tires problem but also our suspension system problem... the camber degree affect the tires wears, it is wears outside means possitive (if not mistaken) opposite for wearing inside faster....
so take it easy, let it run-in and see... or you can ask them to swap the both front wheels and see... it might helps... my sifu in ipoh did this b4 and it works, for me at least...


BTW why ask about 595... if you are satisfy with V12 y not stick to it... i used 1 set also but now it is on my family's older ride... it works well for my mom, she went up to Cameron that day and feedback was nice tires good comfort and grips compare to PP2... but she haven try my PS3 yet on curvy roads yet hehe if not she will get poison... cos PS3's grip is good good compare to V12 but its side wall is slightly harder which makes handling is better...

as i remember yours are on PP2 isn't it... try V12 then it should be better... of course change back to 205/55 R16 will be much better but if you want to maintain y not try out with the V12 tires 1st... Honda's suspension is know of a lil hard so you can get the sportiness mah...

PP2 is having a hard sidewall change to V12 you can feel the difference, better in comfort...


no it will give you different affect... coz the tire wearing now is uneven where it makes to pulls you to 1 side... i have that problem b4, the Sifu ask them (technician) to swap side (left to right at the front) then problem solved... or you need to wear the tires for a while to wear it back to even... try and see...
well 595 is nothing to shout about, my bro in-law's Civic on 215/45 R17 rubbers damn noisy... cannot really stand it... well hard to say when his setup is different... but i can feel the difference of V12 vs PS3 on my same ride... but for the current Federal 595 Evo price, i still prefer to get PS3 as my replacement... for my older ride i might use Hankook V12 to soften back the hard suspension setup... so my list for 195/55 R15 is only PS3 or V12 at the moment...

should be less than RM200

PS3 is the one that replace PP2... so get it...
912 is more towards comfort performance which is 2~3 step lower than PS3 in level... traction only at A
Dunlop is D01 instead of FD-01... and FM901 is a no no... and both also traction rated A only...

your safe bet is Michelin PS3, Hankook V12... cheaper solution is V12...

replied you on the other thread...
should be around RM250~260/pc... Kee Hin at Old Klang Road is good but u need to go early...



***please close the other thread when it is done... tire discussion thread is here no need another new thread...

later wait for long mah... my fren went there 11am wait for 2 hours i think...
i go there around 9:30 still less ppl so wait for a while only...

thanks... will look for you in the future... that day i went... i think i saw you...
doing the normal package (rotation and alignment) satisfy with the service...


well as bro yngwie said... that size is odd size, better upgrade to 15"... my old toy is using 185/60 R14 now, planning to upgrade too...
yes and no... it will not lower the car by much maybe a few mm... less bumpy or not will depends on the tire's sidewall properties not the sidewall thickness (Profile)...
if you compare with the 2 i think i prefer XM1 for more comfort ride... it depends what you want from the tires also... the better choice is Toyo Teo Plus but it cost you above RM200 for ur size...

well V12 also not bad in comfort...

BTW downgrade to 16" and use V12 is the best choice... the stock 16" tires should be 205/55 R16... so at 55 series u still can use a lot of performance tires...

i think you are around 25~30... dark skinny around 5'4".... am i correct???

well find la... survey nicely... BTW bro PP2 has harder side wall so it is quite bumpy...

V8 is old model... V12 performance is better too...
Nexen 8000 is good according to user...

If you really want comfort then really 16" is nice... 17" might not as comfort as you want no matter 50 series... it depends on the tires also... Hankook V12 Evo it is comfort on 195/55 R15 while PP2 is not at all... i used both tires, now on PS3... if you want comfort y change to 17" wheels???

hmmm... hehe i duno la... coz i when there got 1 guy talking with frens... and his fren drive the Van like crazy fellow... hehe...

ya... a lot of ppl thought they upgrade for Look or Handling but in return u need to sacrifice the comfort and also your wallet... mostly nice 16" and 17" tires will be priced around RM300 and above...
and u can see a lot of "Cheapo" whom upgrade with big rims using Cheap tires...
of course there is ppl can buy a car with nearly RM100k and still do not want to spend RM1k for tires which can last them 1~2 years or even more for some ppl...

that size you can try Michelin XM1, Goodyear Ducaro GA, Bridgestone AR10...
you don have potenza tires in that size... skip falken 522,322... the grip in wet sucks...

Hankook V12 evo or GY F1 Asymmetric this 2 tire have good feedback from user...
