Got it! So now it's just between Michelin XM1, Bridgestone Turanza AR10 and Yokohama A Drive

pp2 is michelin... pilot preceda 2...

sidewall kinda stiff...

wat do u mean wf sidewall kinda stiff?

bro u are getting Potenza ER30 ar... BS tire is a bit hard on sidewall but what is ur size now??? 195/55 R15 or 195/60 R15 or 185/60 R15??? i think u should not get 185/50 R15 it is a non-common size, hence it will be a lil expensive la...
well it you are no 185/60 R15 it might give you a softer feeling and it is no problem with ur braking but it is ur feel of the braking... try to do some similar maneuver and braking... actually is the feel when i change from Michelin PP2 to Hankook V12 i have that feeling also but after a while it is ok already since the sidewall of V12 is softer so i have that slower braking effect feeling...

lets discuss more in Vios thread...

Dear all,

i'm planning to change my 2 years old tires (195/60/R15) on my Honda Accord..currently the handling of the car is kinda bumpy maybe it is possibly due to the rubber hardening..

Basically, i m looking for something which are comfy and safe...what would all the sifus out there recommend? Budget is below RM250 per pc

i have Falken 912 and Michelin Premacy in my mind currently...please advise me..

Many Thanks ya'all!

my old yokohama A drive side wall still thick but middle rib thread almost gone.

right now thinking of getting yokohama C drive or falken ziex 912 or hankook ventus v12 or hankook ventus prime k105.

must change 4 new tyre before 1/2/2010.

bro is Primacy LC... both also good review from ppl but Primacy LC for ppl say a lil weak on hydroplaning but i'm not that sure...
all the while we have good feedbacks on 912 try that...

what is ur size??? 195/55 R15 i think???
try V12 if you don mind it is directional tires coz it produce more noise than normal asymmetric tires like A Drive, C Drive or 912...

Thanks Michael! Will check it out this weekend...as most of the kakis here said the price will probably increase on the 1st of Feb

how true is it anyway?

not sure... buy if you need... our country everything will only increase to supply more $$$$ into the G pocket... not to our benefit...

michael9413,
what is the PP2 UTQG rate?

Threadwear 240...
Traction AA...
Temperature A...
if not mistaken la... i read that about 1 yr ago... not sure now coz using Hankook V12 already... haha... Hankook V12's rating is that also...

went to weng tat just now asking for 195/55/r15 hankook v12

he said no stock and very expensive, over rm200.00. Ask for yoko C drive, waited 10min he said no stock.

then i turn to teck meng ask for hankook v12 also said no stock.

Ask for yoko C drive also no stock, He call other store and ask got stock rm235 2008 tyre. Ask for yoko Db also said no stock.

end up at hup shun falken 912, rm175. W14Y2009 tyre. quite new. Camber rm30 each. Quite expensive for the camber adjustment. Rm820 total.

195/55/r15 so hard to find tyre.

dont buy indonesian falken...suck...

Bro, try Klang... Hankook V12 195/50/15 for RM 175 per tyre..

195/55/15 many stock also... RM 180 only.. I can let u know the shop if u want...

Yes, Klang is far, but the $$$ u save is worth it..

the falken 912 is from thailand sumitomo rubber

next round. Perhaps hankook v13evo. I also lazy drive all the way to klang to change tyre. Shop nowadays very smart. tyre sell cheap, some no pau alignment and the camber calibration cost is very high. End up back to square.

anyone can comment on yokohama A. R1, C drive and S drive? interms of dry,wet, cornering, comfort and noise on 195/50/15 or 195/55/15.
thx alot

bro RM200 call expensive how about others UHP tires... u are getting cheapest 1 i should say... if you wanna save RM80 and not willing to go to Klang... then u need to survey more... the new stock as i heard also will be a lil expensive compare to the old 1s...
just tell u need to change 4 tires... they will tell u the price then ask them to including balancing, alignment and valves... coz they will ask you to do chamber adjustment and stuff but that is purely business purpose, if your chamber is not out by 3 degree and ur tire do not have wear problem then u can just ignore it for this moment...
be a smart consumer, acknowledge the so call small issue but do not let them to make it as if very big problem for you...

i think C Drive is more quitable for you as it is their premium comfort... S drive is too sporty for you...

i have tight budget now. Company declare no Bonus few day ago. Car maintenance also cut down from 1.5k to 0.9k.

so??? how much do you expect... sorry if you wan nice tire for that size u can only get Hankook V12 the cheapest around... if not u have to settle with Yokohama A Drive or A drive R1, Michelin XM1 if you can find, GY NCT5 or others local or Indo brand

agree with Micheal. C.drive suit you the most. one of my ride used to be on C.drive front too.
for comfort, go for 195/55/r15.
