thanks 4 the answer guys.. I just scared the tire will blow off when speeding on higher psi.. noobie here hehe

every tire is noted with Max PSI on the side wall read it properly...
most of the things that you want/need to know about the tire specification also is noted there...
cheers

well A drive R1 is directional thread but 912 is assymetric thread... of course it depends what you want..
Directional thread gives u more traction during the corners... but assy thread give you more lower humming noise (more quiet)... but as per feedback 912 is not that quiet after 50% of usage also... i think if you are happy with R1 stick with it... what is ur size???

Tyre size 205/45/16 ... Today, Im going change it. It's non-safety for botak tyre. Which tyre better in wet and grip? Can I use front a.drive R1 and rear ze912? So mean that prefer A.drive R1?

haha... between that 2 i think A Drive R1 kua... as it is at least directional and 912 is only performance passenger tire... for that size i recommend you to get Hankook v12 evo... nice tire with reasonable price... beat 912 easily in corners and wet traction too...

205/45/R16 Price list from AW Forum

I just changed my tyre, I bought 2 pcs yoko a.drive R1 at HinLeong Klang. Cost me each rm215( without aligment rm10). Anywhere, good job and thanks guys replied me answer

why yokohama instead of hankok v12?
btw, what car u using? i plan to change to 16" too, but many said not worth it as price is almost the same as 17"
the reason i dont want 17" is rim easily get bend especially taiwan lightweight rims

Because don't have stock there and match with my front a.drive R1.

Actually 16" tyre expensive than 17". Depend what car you wana fit. For 1500cc car, perfer 15" or 16".

are you serious about 16 is more expensive than 17?
I'm driving a waja only...still on stock rims, dang hate that rim!

btw, which shop in klang should i visit?

Hi all...need advice on tyre selection for my Kelisa
165/55/R13 (original rims), limited budget (<140), what is the best I could get?

Thx. in advance..

well it is not that true kua... but the price is almost the same...
well why not change the stock to nicer 15" rims... what is ur tire size at the moment or what is ur stock size...

well is it R14 or R13??? if R13 it is a bit rare lo if not mistaken... u have only local or indon choices only... sorry can't help more...

currently on stock rim with 205/60/R15 tyre size
from what i see, 15" rims can hradly get nice ones...
i've compared the same model rim of 15" and 17", its such a huge difference due to the shorter length, the spoke gets shorter and wider too

hmm ur size a bit uncommon...if you wan to upgrade to 215/50 R16 also can or 225/40 R17 is fine either but to tell you frankly it seems like ur size is not that common...

wait, i think its 195 instead of 205, dang i forgot
i'll go hunt in klang later next week to see if 16 or 17 is better

YOu are right, is R14....sorry...any recommendation? Anyway, thats the original RIM, any other option to increase the width? current is 165/55/R14.

well currently is you are on that size try Michelin PP2... my fren Kenari with the same size with urs using the same also but it is around RM200... but u can try out Kumho directional tires or Yokohama A Drive R1 also...
u can get tat size with this few tires no worries it is not really odd as it is used by a lot of Kancil, Kenari, Kelisa...

THXs...........200 really out of budget, will try Yoko A...not sure wat the price is...How about Falken? Is that Ok?

This post has been edited by SK_C: Jan 14 2010, 12:17 PM

Falken depends on model, 912 is ok but not others... or u can try the Hankook V8RS, if you still can find... make sure the manufacturing date is 2009 not 2008

i am ugrading to 16" soon. using r888 from my other car + the neo cps 16" wheels. at least, there is a reason for me to drive slow in the wet
but kinda sad to part with my 205/55/r15 rear tires; funny thing a worker at the tires shop in pandan indah don't even believe my car was riding on that size during until i drive my car over for wheel balancing.

btw, sometimes in march last year, i went to jalan kapar in klang to look for yokohama tires; most of the shop offer me around 200 bucks a piece without balancing.
went back home empty handed. next day, pass by a tires shop in cheras area and the boss offer me the same yokohama c.drive of 195/55/r15 around 380 bucks / 2 pieces including balancing and rims repair.
i immediately changed the 2 front.
conclusion; jalan kapar isn't the cheapest around but they do offer more varieties

2nd to that... need to survey that's y we have the tire price list thread... but sadly ppl isn't helping to compile...
everyone on post what they have only...
for that size y not try Hankook V12?? around there also but better than C Drive as it is same league with S Drive...
but if it is including the repair (i duno what repair) should be cheap already...
