tat means LC is the most expensive one la? rm100/piece? rm400 for 4 then
which one cheapest among those 5 ?

Yeap, Michelin has the highest price tag.
Cheapest one should be Hankook (if you look at Hankook's product brochure, she claims she has joint research with Michelin).

My advise to you is, go shop around. Ask prices from more than 5 tire shops for a same model & brand.
You'll likely save more RM80-100 for 4 pcs of new tires.
Key word, always SHOP before you buy.

Yeap, it's normal for tire like Yoko & Falken. It should last 20-30K KM.
I think that's a tradeoff for cheaper price tire & grippy tire.

BTW, did you rotate your tires? My previous Yoko A-drive only lasted less than 20k KM.

Generally I rate Yoko a low quality tire. It's cheap but grippy.

Yes, Michelin can last 60-70k. Michelin is in premium class.
You can expect 40k for the Hankook.
That's a tradeoff for getting cheaper tire. I think it's fair.

Secondly, I find the rubber of Michelin hardened after 40-45k KM. Meaning you lose your comfy ride after 40-45k. The tire gets noisy too (due wear & tear). So, the question is, do you need Michelin that lasts 60-70k? Well, choice is yours.

Bridgestone GR80/90 are good comfy tires too. Price is kinda premium too.
I doubt it can last 70km. IMO, all tires lose the comfort after 2 years or 40KM.

Go check with tire shops on the size you require.

u guys seldom mention bridgestone here

"UHP tires wear rate is around 180~280, while passenger tires can be better like 300 and above... the figure is the higher the better"
180~280 is wat? wat figure ? TQ
*
that is threadwear standard reading from manufacturers... it is indicated at the side wall... smile.gif
you have traction also which start from B to highest AA... B is the lowest and AA is the best traction tire...
if you always drive in Highway suggested to use traction AA... it give you good amount of grip/traction in dry/wet...

QUOTE(McRyan @ Dec 23 2009, 08:27 PM)
tat means LC is the most expensive one la? rm100/piece? rm400 for 4 then, wow
i have to go for hankook v12 then since its the cheapest yet comfy tires lol
how bout long last? which wan better ?
*
well for 195/55 R15 i know wht is the approx price coz i'm using it... hehe...Falken 912 RM170, Hankook V12 RM180, Primacy LC RM200, Michelin PP2 RM235, Yokohama C Drive RM190, Yokohama S Drive RM260, Toyo T1R RM260, Bridgestone RE001 RM280...
you can see the price different up to RM100/pc... but the selection is still up to the user, what is ur budget and requirement... Hankook V12 is not the cheapest and comfy tire Falken 912 is... but if you don mind directional tires & it's noise V12 is the best choice... it give you good amount of grip in Wet and Dry but Hydroplaning is not up to my expectation (reference of PP2 coz i used 3 set already)... so my next target might be T1R or C1S if happen they have in my size which JP also not producing... so i'm dreaming tongue.gif

that is Turanza if not mistaken... well Ryan, tire which last will not give you that grip vs the tire that has short thread life...
it is up to you to choose but Toyo certainly is not long lasting... smile.gif the thread life is mainly depend on the compound that they use and the categories which it in... UHP tire will not last as long as HP tire while Passanger tires is the most long lasting ones but my old toy CC1 is not lasting as well coz the toy is 1.3+ tonne in weight... now only about 4 months... about 60% wear at the front already time to rotate the tire... but the previous owner (a 'Datuk') used the similar CC1 for 8 yrs i think and the Manufacturing date is yr 2000!!!! and it is still ok but a lots of crack at the side wall already...

what ALeUNe said is correct tires life OTR is only 2~3 years max... and 5 yrs from the manufacturing date... coz the compound will change properties during that time... so it is personal choice to choose what ever that we want... i'll go for Traction AA tires with Threadwear index/rating of 240 and above... that should last you about 30~40k km and again i wanna make things clear here is it depends how you drive it and the road condition...

QUOTE(ddv_nk @ Dec 20 2009, 02:34 AM)
hi everyone, may i get some recommendations on a set of R15 tyres? things that i am looking for are the price, durability, comfort + quiet and grip as well. smtg between RM150 to RM180. as long as it can last me about 2 years with minimum driving and occasional long distance. Grip wise, it has to be safe when probably the thread left is about 50-60%. looking for a shop recommendation in klang valley or seremban. one more thing i'd like the tyres to have is the lips (if that is what it is called that will help reduce the chances of the rims from hitting the curbs, meaning tyres will kinda protect the rims) and i dont mind paying a little extra if the tyre has this extra feature. appologies if my request here is ridiculous. please feel free to educate me on issues that i am wrong or dont know. more than happy to learn. many thanks in advance.
*
that price range you can ops for Falken 915... but do you mind to tell us about the size... 195/55 R15 or 185/55 R15 or 195/60 R15??? or others???
so that we can give you more precise comments... smile.gif

QUOTE(GEFORCEXTREME @ Dec 20 2009, 06:48 PM)
I'm using Suzuki Swift original rims. Looking for 185/60/15 or 195/55/15 or 195/50/15, either one of those size, as long as they fit.

My priorities are comfort and grip. I don't mind noise as my exhaust noise will surely overide them, lol. My location is Cheras Leisure Mall area, please recommend me good tyres under budget of RM 180 and shop. Thanks.
*
coz it is ok... try Hankook V12 about RM180 (including balancing and valves also) it is like a hot cake now... using it 195/55 R15 replacing my fav Michelin PP2... it's performance is similar like PP2 but cheaper about RM40/tire... so save some there... but the hydroplaning is not as good as PP2 lo... others no comment... u can try this coz u don mind a lil noise... as it is directional tire so the noise will be a lil louder... smile.gif

QUOTE(leepast @ Dec 23 2009, 02:59 PM)
hi all,

i'm planning to change my 2 front tyre (2 year old Myvi) as the 2 front tyre nearly "botak" already. I think standard/stock one is 175 / 65 R14 right? Any reccomended shop in penang area (mainland) or kedah area? and what is the current price for it per piece?

Thanks in advance.
*
you can change to 185/60 or 185/65 both R14 also... about Rm160~170 kua... try Michelin Xm1 for that if you wan comfort... it is basically quiet and comfort tire but not for performance... but if you wanna have a lil performance try Falken 912, but the feedback is the thread life is not that lasting if you sapu all the corners daily (aggressive driving)

QUOTE(rompers @ Dec 23 2009, 07:41 PM)
Anyone knows the latest price for these tyres in Klang Valley/KL:  icon_question.gif

195/55/R15
Bridgestone MY01 and Pirelli P7

195/50/R15
Bridgestone MY01 and Pirelli P7

I'd really appreciate if someone could provide the latest price (year-end 2009) of those tyres above and the location to obtain them within the Klang Valley area. Thanking you in advance!  notworthy.gif
*
for that size i fully recommend you to take Hankook V12 lo... smile.gif around RM180 cheap and nice... MY01 is not good at all traction B and the price is about similar with V12 also... Pirelli is not that cheap lo...

ok ok lo... Turanza means for passanger tire... potenza is performance tire... so performance tire usually is not as comfort as passanger tire as you know it is design and also the compound that they use is meant for better handling and traction...
but like Michelin bridgestone tires is not that cheap lo... the value vs performance is not that good...
