oppps! typo error. dz101 as in direzza seems like they have it in 205/55/r15...

Advice needed..
When i swapped the rear tyre to front, 1 of the old GY tyre have some "wind" sound, the shop said this is due to the absorber problem at rear...and the new tyre I put in rear now should have no warranty due to the absorber problem....
Feel like kena con...

check ur absorber is there any leakage or not is yes then absorber problem cause uneven wear maybe... ppl tends to give wrong info even mechanics they just wanna do more business some times...
and u should always put new tires at the back not front... that is the standard procedure advised by most of the tires companies...

BTW have you buy ur tires??? actually V12 is still ok, sure 1 tires have its pro and cons... just like the V12 and PP2... PP2 handling better at higher speed and the Hydroplaning is good good even after 50% wear... but V12 give you more grip on the corners and also provide you with a lil more comfort... and further more V12 is directional tires which is a lil more noisier than PP2 which are in Assy pattern...

ST115 i heard is pretty good.. V8RS cannot compare lo... hehe..
Silverstone never used b4... but saw a lot ppl using it also... i think is on par with D-01 or slightly better kua... what is your size...???

Hi Micheal,
Thx for the advice, there is no leaking on my rear absorber....but feel that the "spring" is too soft, as mentioned, always have sound when passenger come in and out...

Ya, I have purchased 2 new tire (Yokohama C drive 195/55 R15), RM195 each including everything (+alignment). and I put the new tire at the back.

Ya, I believe the V12 is good...since I believed every tire have it limitation...

Advice? given a 2008 WW27 new PP2 (RM210 each), and V12 (dunno where can find and what price now)...which one you choose?

And, is there any different compare current Michelin Energy vs. the pld PP2?

Thx.

that is good price... Energy is entry level tires la... PP2 will work better and it is UHP tires... cannot compare...
bro wanna ask what is ur ride... see if it is (PP2) suitable for your ride or not... coz it has harder side wall hence the comfort level will suffer a lot if you have hard suspension setup... it will be nice to fit on Vios (both gen) coz it will improve the handling, but for Dugong the body roll still there coz the softer suspension setup... but it still depends on individual preference lo... whether is hard to soft...
C Drive is like Primacy LC quite ok but give us feedback after usage around 40%...

michelin primacy lc or pp2.....im going to change it all on dec...very licin on highway,when bad weather...
my ride is latio sport....215/45/17....(65%highway 35%city) so....soft or hard tyre i need??

both are expenciv...= =
so...must survey ....any1 help me....thanks

that size try GY F1 Assy... good one there... around PP2 price also but a lil comfort than PP2

Thx....my worry is the 2008-26 for the PP2, isn't it too old (1.5yrs)..
my ride..normal loh..usually 80 to 110km/hr..when possible..
my Vios, '06, is the original suspension...feel that is too soft..

not even 1.5 yrs yet la... around there... ours Vios is not that soft la... wait until u drive Dugong... my Vios '05 also stock condition..
for the Manufacturing date still ok as PP2 will last max 40k km only... if you really use it 1.5 yrs gone already so about 3 yrs only... tires life is not more than 4~5 yrs so it should be ok for you but check it the new tire mark is still there or not... it has red line on top of the thread... RM210 is consider cheap, is it in Klang? last time i ask RM220~230 leh... now better...
if you wanna fix on your Vios the ride still bearable but u can feel u really go up and down the hump/bump. and also small strip also u can know it... coz it's side wall is hard good for spirited drive and high speed drives... but cornering during wet careful a bit... it will not loose it traction easily but still it is not as grippy as directional tires during corners...

if u wan purely for comfort then u can get d latest primacy LC which is available in 195/50-15[old vios b4 facelift] n 195/55-15[facelift vios] n it's slightly cheaper than PP2

how much is the price for toyo t1r for 15" ?

GY f1 asy...uhp tyre??noisy??
izit good on wet?
michilin plc better?
@@!!!sakit kepala...some say plc some say pp2..some say GY f1 asy ...

i just bought eagle f1 asy 235/40r18 and 245/45r18 for my z. so far dry really good. i speed 188kmh in putrajaya, hit a bump at a corner ( long sweeper of course ), and my car goes dangdut, screech a bit then back on rails, without VDC. great tyres recommended. cheaper than my old potenza too.

er... around RM260~280 if not mistalen...

Michelin la... Primacy LC not PLC or we call it LC... is a comfort tire which is not suitable for aggressive drive or high speed manoeuvrings and it is comfort, means it has softer side wall... GY F1 Assy is not UHP is Extreme tires but u get almost everything on that... ample of grip in dry and wet and it is surprisingly quiet for a low profile tires...

may i ask how much does it cost for 195/55/15 for goodyear F1 Assy?
