not outdate but a lot place still don have mah...
good to hear that Chee Ann... will PM u once i confirm everything with my other fren...

haha... lower pressure means higher FC.. when u ask a F1 driver to do best FC drive they will pump the tire to higher PSI... lower PSI will give you the comfort... but it might cause otehr problem like uneven wear and loose of handling feel at high speed maneuver, the last is increase rolling resistance...
fren even my Vios with 195/55 R15 Hankook Evo V12 (or last time Michelin PP2) also i pump 34 PSI front and 32 PSI rear... 30 PSI is definitely too low...
my 1.3 tonne Old Toy 36 PSI front and 32 PSI rear... that is a cold temperature (recommended by car manufacture) means u should not travel more than 1km to the nearest petrol kiosk... if more than that add another 1~2 PSI... that is what recommended by Michelin and others Manufacture also... tire air pressure will increase around 1~4 PSI during hot but not until 5~10 PSI...

wow, i never knew we need to pump that high for even 15", but what is written on the door panel is 29 rear and 31 front for 195/55R15, isn't that way off from what you recommended?

i juz pump 210 for front n 200 rear
btw, which car tat come wf 195/55R15?

brothers and sistahs,
lets compare

size and series : 195 / 90 / 15
brand : parada VS falken 912

price range : 150 - 180

whats the differences?
whats your experience ?

hye all....want to ask...looking 4 tire replacement. is falken ziex ze522 215/35/zr18 is a good tire??

BS Potenza-Adrenalin RE001 is the best tyres ever.

U mean new PS3?

hehe....i mean is it good in wet grip??? will it skid when rains??

hard to say but if not mistaken most Michelin tires are marked with Colored line for new tires...
yes the 2009 means ww20 yr09,... still ok... but when you say it does not have colors then i need to confirm with ppl i remember michelin have small red lines on the thread to prevent ppl resale it as new tire after use a lil...

but the noise is very subjective my fren... NCT 5 is quiet i duno... but might be ur wheel bearing give out the sound who knows anything can spoil even u use it low mileage so what... parts in the car also might fail in a while... even high quality parts also got warranty claim after few months...

try to call Michelin Malaysia 1-800-388-368 for verification... and say i are not satisfy with the so call quiet drive... ask them whether new tires is there any marking or not as u suspect the tire is used...

how much u bought it?

I just call up the michelin, she said say there is no red lining along the thread on the tyre for michelin, anyone can confirm for me?

thanks bro CheeAnn for Verify...

can he go back to the shop to ask for replacement??? seems like the set is not new tire at all...

Banned Conti CC-1... Eagle GA, again GY lower end tires sucks....
for me XM1 the clear choice, then A Drive...
even PP2 is more than that Advan sure got that cheap or not... PP2 is around RM160 if not mistaken...

go for PP2.. u won't go wrong with it!

No, the colour marking is not to prevent resale. These are what you call run-out markings to indicate the balance of the tyre. The tyres are not uni-formally balance and some offset is expected. This line will tell which the side the balance bias and how straight the tyre will run.

Sometimes the tyre shop fits it wrongly and have both tyres with the same weight bias and the car will not run straight, no matter how you align the tyres. This lines help the tyre shop match the balance bias of both tyres on each sides of the car to make alignment easier.

Yes, they are called run-outs and comes in 2 or sometimes 3 lines. I'm surprised that as a tyre seller you do not know of this. Furthermore, if you notice, those lines differ from tyre to tyre as they indicate the run-out balance of each tyre. As a tyre seller, you are suppose to match the left and right run-outs as closely as possible so that you do not have balance issues.

So if the right tyre run-out lines are closer to the outside, you have to find the left tyre with the run-outs closer to the outside too, to prevent alignment issues and vice versa.

It's called run-outs. Each tyre when manufactured, as perfect as it maybe, the weight is not 100% balanced. That means when you roll the tyre, it will not track in a straight line.

You will not encounter problems when balancing. The problem comes when trying to make the car track in a straightline. I can see most tyres shop align the tyre straight but the car still does not track straight. They then have to do minor adjustments to make the car track straight. The better they match the run-out lines, the less work they have to do to make the car track straight.

This is not applicable to Michelin only. All the other tyre manufacturers do the same with their tyres.

Hi all,
I find high and low in kl area, cannot find michelin pp2 for 185/60 R14.
I heard that no more stock for michelin pp2. Is it true?
What are other performance tires for 14" rim (Myvi)?
So far left falken 912 in my list. any others to recommend?
thank you.

today, i found out my tire was slashed at the side wall, maybe due to the rain yday, run over some sharp object, my rim was slashed too..
anyone know how thick is the sidewall of T1R ? this slash are about 2-3mm deep... tire pressure is still maintain..
