QUOTE(michael9413 @ Jun 11 2009, 10:23 AM) the wearing of the shoulder thread is faster compare to others like Michelin PP2 and Hankook V12... if wear both shoulder means not enuf air pressure on d tires~that is for a bit aggressive driving style, but for normal use i think it should be ok... not quite sure about the price as the tire price list does not have Falken912 in your size...  but if only wears only 1 side shoulder means aggresive driving or alignment not proper done~ |

my 2009 city uses 185/16 which is terribly hard to find in Kedah. last time i had a pancture (got stone inside) and we had to wait like 2-3 days before they can find the same excellence 185/16. i guess not all manufacturers have this size.
the cost is like, after he took my 98% good thread tire (worth RM10 i think), is RM213. a piece. |

@Everdying
check the price for Hankook V8RS....currently using it and so far im impressed with it's dry performance (havent been able to test in the wet yet) used to use the older Ziex model (ZE326 i think) and i wasnt too impressed with it performance wise, but for normal usage, theyre pretty decent..... performance wise for falken, id rather stick with the Azenis line. |

PP2 for 195/55 R15 is less than RM250 only... if you are looking for that size... y not try out Hankook V12...Added on June 11, 2009, 12:29 pm whats the xm1 price they quote u? u have any experience using that? some random shop quote me 3xx/pc for 15" PP2 I changed from PP2 to V12... feel softer side wall hence more comfort drive also... is just like Handling PP2 better... but in terms of comfort is V12 better... traction both also very good indeed |

im actually surprised that the V12 is that cheap...
my V8 165/50/15 is RM169 in sunway.. so i was expecting the bigger V8 195/55/15 to be around the 180-200 region...and V12 of the same size to be more than 200... now if only they start having the V12 in my size...was actually looking for it before i accepted the fact that they dont make it in that size and settled for the V8 instead. n the V8 is still a damn good tire though |

comment on wat???
Potenza i haven use b4... i only can say Michelin PP2 is a good tire on Hydroplanning and Handling...good braking performance also... ride comfort suffer a bit as the side wall is a lil on hard side... traction also good on dry n wet... whereas the Hankook V12 is on comfort side which the handling not as good as PP2 in high speed... traction on both dry n wet also comparable to PP2, so as the braking... |

To all tyres sifus,
Any recommended tyres for Vanette C22? Van drivers needs safety too. So far I'm seeing thread for passenger cars only. Normal van size is 175/70/R13. For this size I only saw recommended XM1, A Drive & CC-1 being the most popular. But are they suitable for van drivers too? Please enlighten us all. |

i had PP2 front and Parada S2 on from early last yr till mid this year.
PP2 is indeed quiet, and good gripping at hard corner on dry. Now i have the Parada infront and PP2 goes at the back. Its true that its noisy, but i feel its more grippy than PP2 on hard braking. Saved me few times from faggots that simply change lane w/o signals *I drive an olde non-vtec civic, on 15" |

There IS a diff between hard sidewall normal pressure VS soft sidewall high pressure.. I prefer the former.
Grip wise Parada compound is good for short braking distance vs NCT5, but predictability wise I am more comfortable with NCT5 - although NCT5 compound sucks but when u pump it hard, its sidewalls becomes hard - whereas Parada even up to 300kpa also feel very lembap, tyre flex alot, I also had to back off.. whereas with NCT5/PP2 i feel v comfortable to layan the same corner. Dare not put 350kpa cos the Parada being so called performance tyre did not state max inflation pressure anywhere on the tyre  cmon yokohama..even NCT5 also got max pressure stated there lahThis post has been edited by ceo684: Aug 9 2009, 12:25 AM |

i guess big cars aint suitable to use parada spec 2 due to its soft sidewall unable to handle the weight of the car and stress during lateral load....
lightweight cars should have less problems with it... |

bro ceo684, NCT5 you dare to do hard corner... haha... good luck...
careful when it is raining... even drizzling... PP2 will give you the confidence coz of the harder side wall compare to NCT5... it give u good handling and it will grip well on heavy rains also... don fool by the traditional pattern on a UHP tire... PP2 is not means rich man tire... if u use 17" rim sure rich... good tire will cost u a bomb... haha... of course u will see a lot of "nice" tire fitted on the 17" rim... especially Ah Beng car... |

QUOTE(mirin @ Aug 10 2009, 01:23 AM) So is there any other tyres that can match AD07 hard sidewall...? pp2~  QUOTE(michael9413 @ Aug 11 2009, 12:50 PM) bro ceo684, NCT5 you dare to do hard corner... haha... good luck... dun worry~careful when it is raining... even drizzling... PP2 will give you the confidence coz of the harder side wall compare to NCT5... it give u good handling and it will grip well on heavy rains also... don fool by the traditional pattern on a UHP tire... PP2 is not means rich man tire... if u use 17" rim sure rich... good tire will cost u a bomb... haha... of course u will see a lot of "nice" tire fitted on the 17" rim... especially Ah Beng car... i've seen him driving+tackling corner at high speed in pp2 n nct5 cornering n perform much better than his latest yokohama parada~ |

well but if you really go for Extreme tires do not expect the grip in the wet will be good...
driving at 80km/h during heavy downpour consider dangerous |

hehe... all my dad's car is fitted with Michelin... even his KE70 which recently change back to Sime...
my family and i nag him about that... coz old old car still use Michelin which cost RM130/pc... Vios - Hankook V12... previously 1.5 set PP2 after the stock NCT5 Avanza - After Stock straight Michelin XM1 SEG - After stock all the while Michelin XM1 till now 15" PP2... VW - Continental i change that wanna try out Conti CC1 vs Mich XM1... KE70 - Michelin after he bought back... then recently changed to Sime... so all the while is prefer to use Michelin coz soft and good amount of grip for normal + occasionally aggressive driving... all my record which i had done during my 17~20 yo time are Michelin XM1 13"... hehe...

PP2 not for the shallow pocket. ehehehe.. simple as that..
as for me, i've been on Evol8 since 2007. changed 2 times already. grip very good, even in wet. price? a lot cheaper than others, even cheaper than Federal. for performance, i'm only sold on 2 tyres, RE01R and Eagle RS. used to trust Neova until i spun out in the middle lane, in the middle of nowhere (Sepang - Nilai hiway) at 60kmh in light drizzle. phew.... nightmare still! hahahaha |

so far on 15" rim i've used...
nct5 < cct-1 < pp2 pp2 has vr normal looking thread... but it performs well due to its material and hard sidewall... pp2 quite predictable, though so far i havent driven it to the limits on the street... comfort contact 1... predictable tyres as well... but grip is less than pp2... used to drive it till its limits... nct5... quite bad... had a horrible accident due to it... once it loses grip, it skids like nobody business... and once it locks up, no traction at all... |

the top range family is good... like GY Eagle F1 & F1 Assy... that is different story... if you wan to have comfort and you are using 55 series for R15 and above... you can give Hankook V12 a try... it is directional thread and you have to bear with the noise as is it louder than PP2 if both in NEW... otherwise it's grip nearly on par with PP2 in Dry and Wet condition... aquaplaning is around 90% if PP2... price wise it is quite cheap indeed if i compare my size 195/55 R15 the difference is RM50... so quite ok lo... I just change CC1 onto VW golf 1.6l... not bad in general but i got know that the tires sometimes will have problem... it is side wall become uneven (bulge) if you hit a lot of potholes... so careful lo... as i'm not driving this car long distance so it is ok... QUOTE(my44 @ Aug 12 2009, 05:36 PM) Me normal driver only. Highway 130-140km/h only. I want comfort tire. Zoom down to either Yokohama or Falken. Hankook? First time heard that name, haha. Michelin too expensive for me lah, other ppl I know la print money everyday ;p Yes Hankook, it is like Falken 912 in price range but better in handling and also it is directional thread... RM185 for 195/55 R15... not bad in term of performance vs price ration as PP2 at that size will cost you around RM240... you can try Primacy LC also from Michelin as the price range is around RM210... Hankook is cheapest but the cons is directional thread tends to creates more vocal than 2 of the Michelin PP2 and Primacy LC... Michelin have the good reputation in my heart as this Hankook V12 set that i'm using is the 1st set out of Michelin... It give me good confidence to corners until now in dry and wet also... not hard cornering... around 80km/h kua... PP2 give me more confidence indeed on handling and cornering... Aquaplaning also it is the best in the UHP range... trust me... PP2 will give you all they have even you reach the safety marks... My SEG PP2 once pass the safety mark i still drive around even heavy rains... although not pass 80km/h but it still give you the grip... |

not sure... but there are still stock...
what i mean is the GY lower range tire is not good for driving... for slow slow driving ok... but like city driving is not alrite... coz our cruising speed is quite fast... it does not give you the gripping that you need during you brake hard... |

Anyway, the mere mention of "noise" or "more noisier than x-brand" will trigger a small alarm in me. Since I really want a quieter tire than my current Bridgestone Potenza RE080 (stock from Toyota). So any ranking of quietness from Yokohama to Falken to Hankook to Michelin? |

nope it depends...
Falken 912 still very quiet compares to Hankook V12... coz it is soft tire not UHP... Yokohama depends which you get... A drive and C drive is also same cat. with 912... but not S drive... it give you good vocal... haha... Michelin XM1 and Primacy LC is a quiet tires and give you decent amount of grip... Primacy LC is new launched... the target is Luxury Passenger cat... Toyota Vios??? 185/60 R15??? you can switch to 195/60 R15 or 195/55 R15... if you want quiet tires i recommend to you to get 195/60 R15... on that size you can get Yokies A/C drive, Mich XM1/Primacy LC, Falken 912 and Conti Premium Contact... Mich, Yokies & Conti is abit higher in price while Falken is lowest... what is your driving style? What is your driving criteria... Comfort, Noise, Handling??? Noise is important hence you will not get really performance tire... but PP2 noise is quite decent compare to Hankook V12 and Yokohama S Drive... which both noise is slightly higher... Hankook has softer side wall towards comfort... while Yokohama S drive has harder side wall... when you saw the thread don get cheated by PP2 traditional design... it gives you good amount of grip in Dry and Wet... last but not least it has it best aquaplaning performance in UHP categories... |

Yes, my Vios is has 185 tire which is non-standard. I don't mind switching to 195 for slightly better handling (and infinitely small FC decrease).
Driving style? Non-aggressive. Comfortable highway speed is 130km/h. I do notice 185/R15 tire is not too good when cornering at Karak highway. So what I want? Priority is Comfort. Then handling slightly better than Bridgestone Potenza RE080 is already OK (since I don't do sharp cornering every day). |

if think if Hankook V12 on 50 series also it will be quite ok... since the side wall is softer than PP2... @the_catacombs, NCT5 don say la... 45 series sure u don wanna go thru those bumpy roads... |

hi all sifu, i'm totally noob and know nothing on choosing tire. currently my ride(previously was my bro's ride) -wira with 16" sport rims which using sime tire is getting older. planned to change new tire. my budget is around 200-250 per pcs.. so which 1 will be recommended..?
my driving style - semi aggressive. sometimes like to do cornering as i will go genting twice in a week(working as technician).. sime tire = thumbs down. @@ scary~ sometimes drive fast but safe.. hope some sifus here can lead me the way for choosing the right one. thank you.. btw, i'm staying at puchong. any shop reccomended..?

I need your suggestions on tyres for my Unser.
My Unser uses 195/70/14 tyres. Which brand is suitable for the Unser? One shop sell Michelin XM1 for RM220 each. Another shop sell Bridgestone AR10 for RM255 each. Some shops do not have stock for this tyre size. |

that size is quite odd... maybe you can upgrade to 15" or 16"
i think you can get more choice on that size... |

you can choose... Falken 912, Yokohama A drive, Michelin XM1 only... if you can raise a lil maybe RM240~250... you can look for Yokohama C Drive or Michelin Primacy LC |

195/60 R15 ori size isn't it???
you can maintain the size and change to Michelin XM1, Falken 912 or Yokohama A Drive that is for comfort and quiet ride... for a bit expensive i believe you can try Michelin Primacy, Yokohama C Drive or Continental Premium Contact series... if you changed to 205/50 R16 already... comfort ride is a bit hard... haha... coz 50 series tires quite hard... you have Falken 912 on the cheaper size and Michelin Primacy LC on the lil expensive side... depends which you want my fren...

well bro... 60 series is more towards passenger tires where comfort is very important... handling will lose a lil there... traction also of course lower series will be better if you purchase the correct tires...
i think you better stick to the 55 series that you are using now... go for falken 912... which is towards comfort... or Hankook V12 which has soft side wall also... the Michelin PP2 and Yokohama S Drive have a harder side wall which make them good in handling... in terms of performance from 1 to 3... 1 - Goodyear NCT5, Dunlop D-01, Bridgestone MY-1... 2 - Falken 912, Hankook V12, Yokohama C Drive, Michelin Primacy LC... 3 - Yokohama S Drive, Michelin PP2, Toyo T1R this is my summary after some feedbacks from some of the forumers... but if you wanna see better u look for tire which have Traction AA grade... or Grade A minimal... Traction B grade is lousy... although some of the Tire have good Traction grade it traction sucks after 40% of wearing... like NCT5 which i used 2 set as no choice... some with the Rim/Cars... I have use 3 set of Michelin PP series which gives me good handling and traction in wet also... you have to choose... Comfort... Handling... and did noise is very important to you???? then u have a summary there |

QUOTE(Wira_lover @ Sep 12 2009, 11:24 PM) guys, tested all. toyo is an excellent performer in dry and wet condition / cornering. i could say good traction in wet but less grip. F1 and S drive are all rounder. currently using S drive at the rear.Between Toyo T1R , Yokohama S drive or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, which one has better dry grip? For spirited driving/hard driving. Noise is not an issue. Can some1 also indicate the price for Yokohama S drive and Goodyear for size 195/55/15. noisy tyre but quite satisfied with it. plan to swap it with friend's F1 soon and get a better feel of the tyre with nice directional thread QUOTE(Magician @ Sep 14 2009, 03:05 PM) I just change to goodyear duraplus tested. avoid this tyre for spirited driving. it took longer distance to stop under heavy braking compare to even a yokohama C drive.any comment on this! wet grip 'ma ma tei only'. am not willing to sacrifice the pleasure of driving by going into 'extra mileage' with this tyre. then again, this is merely my personal opinion |

Hankook V12 Evo - RM 255 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (May 09) Falken Ziex ZE-912 - RM245 @ Jooi Seng, Klang (May 09) you only have this 2 choice which is cheap and nice... if you wan directional thread go for V12... but sure it will be noisier than 912... its grip is better... for comfort n quiet drive Falken 912... but you can ask for Michelin Primacy LC also... around RM300 if not mistaken... |

well fren... there is nothing as cheap and very good...
Falken is good if you wanna hv comfort and not bad traction... of course the best tire around is Michelin PP2, Yokohama S Drives, Yokohama AD08, BS Adrenalin RE-001 or even Toyo's also not bad... Hankook V12 is directional tires from Korea it will give you comfort + performance of course not on the par of those i mention above... if you really wan pure handling and gripping... pls skip falken 912 or Hankook V12...

thinner side walls??? low profile tires u mean la... yes... because of it's thread design and also it's compound...
lets say the size is 225/45 R17... u got Yokohama S Drive and Yokohama C Drive... surely the Yokohama C drive will be more quiet as it's design for comfort and quiet... as for Yokohama S Drive is designed for performance and its directional thread generate more noise... so different design and also different cat. (UHP vs Extreme) will have different results... |

Some feedback on Lim Tayar TTDI and Weng Tat SS14 Subang Jaya. Went to Lim Tayar to do alignment and balancing, was told by the boss one of the rims bent, need to replace. I ignored it, plan to repair later.
Few months later, went to Weng Tat, told the guy there about my bent rim and asked for repair cost. He said test first. After testing, alignment, balancing, he said that the rim was not bent, just tyre not properly fitted (guess Lim Tayar just wanted to promote their own rims). Happy with Weng Tat. Few months later, need to do alignment and balancing again, went to Weng Tat again. The previous guy had left. Now another guy did for me.

QUOTE(yngwie @ Oct 6 2009, 06:53 PM) performance differ in real life. that was based on my own conclusion after driving my friend's car fitted with a hankook ventus.... GY F1 wat??? the model??? pesonal opinion may differ though btw, new goodyear f1 tyre of 205/60/r15(is this size even available?) at 200 a piece. is this cheap?? Price list from AW Forum... 205/60/R15 Pirelli P6 - RM 260 (penang) including allignment + balancing +install only. Yokohama AA01 - RM180 @ ULS, Skudai Johor (Feb 09) Falken Ziex 912 - RM190 @ Ban Hooi Klang (Mac 09) Michelin Primacy LC - RM255 (Hin Leong, Klang) - March 2009 Michellin Primacy LC -RM335 including allignment + vavle +install only. Michellin PP2-RM355 including allignment + vavle +install only. GY tires some times really don like it... except F1 Assy... which a lot of good feedback... QUOTE(Dannyl @ Oct 7 2009, 08:46 AM) No more Lim Tayar (fake diagnosis to promote own products) and Weng Tat (lousy diagnosis for tyre man) for me ever again. well sometimes they make assumption as they like... but always stick to your believe...912 if you take good car... i think you can last 40k km... but you have to check the tire pressure always PP2 is different class with Yokohama A drive and also Falken 912... PP2 really gives you good feedback and also handling... for Kenari u have rear tires uneven wear issues... my fren is facing that issue also... try out A Drive or A Drive R1 (Directional) by Yokies... so that u can flip to other side easily... that is wat my fren is doing...

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Oct 7 2009, 08:46 AM) Some feedback on Lim Tayar TTDI and Weng Tat SS14 Subang Jaya. Went to Lim Tayar to do alignment and balancing, was told by the boss one of the rims bent, need to replace. I ignored it, plan to repair later. No idea about Weng Tat, but Lim Tayars are famous for their never ending con sales on asking you to do camber nuts and camber setting. Never go to them. I know my own needs on the alignment setting i like. Few months later, went to Weng Tat, told the guy there about my bent rim and asked for repair cost. He said test first. After testing, alignment, balancing, he said that the rim was not bent, just tyre not properly fitted (guess Lim Tayar just wanted to promote their own rims). Happy with Weng Tat. Few months later, need to do alignment and balancing again, went to Weng Tat again. The previous guy had left. Now another guy did for me. After did everything (plus the usual camber sales pitch), we went for a test spin together. Him: Wow your tyres very noisy! You should use quieter tyres. I'm using PP2 on my Kenari, you can tell I'm so selective! Me: I'm using Falken Ziex 912 wor. Him: *quiet* Me: 10k+ km only. Him: Oh Falken 912 lifespan is 30k+ km only.

My new Fiat Bravo GT came with Continental CSC3, size 225/40/R18.
Bloody hell they're really noisy. Anyone here tested CSC3s and their alternatives - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric/Pirelli P Zero Rosso/Michelin PP2? Care to comment? Especially on the tyre roar. Thanks. |

Yeah I've been getting really good feedback regarding the F1 Asymmetric. I'll probably use the original CSC3s for a few months or so, then think about replacing them as I've just lowered the pressure down to 32psi for all 4 tyres, and the noise is slightly more tolerable now.its noise and grip level also at satisfaction level... |

After done with some reading on the interwebs and feedback here, i have decided and bought myself a set of Michelin PP2. Previously i was on OEM tyres which is the Goodyear NCT5 and finally rest at peace clocking 67000km with less 10% thread.

according to experts the higher Pressure the less roll resistance will be... so u will get better FC...
got get good performance u must have the right pressure not too hard or soft... under inflated tire ur tire outer parts will wear off faster while over inflated tire ur tire will loss comfort... |

Adrenalin is just too expensive so do T1R...
i think Hankook S1 is a safe bet... cheaper... it's review by german car magazines also pretty good... btw u have nicely written up there... if not mistaken Falken 452 is not that recommended as the grip is not up to some ppl levels... I'm using Hankook V12 at this moment and it impress me... wet grip is comparable with PP2 (my previous set) and its braking distance also... or should i say most of the performance is good for occasionally aggressive driving... but u might need 1~2 days to get use to it's handling characteristic coz it is just 0.5 sec slower in response compare to PP2, i'm driving around 110km/h at tat time... it is because PP2 has a harder side wall but V12 have a softer which makes V12 has a lil more comfort... this is suitable for them whom wants grips and performance while it does not loose a lot in comfort... I'm driving Vios only... but PP2 really not suitable with Honda's car if you wan a lil comfort...This post has been edited by michael9413: Oct 22 2009, 01:47 PM |

Yah some other Airtrek driver is using S1 Evo, seems like a good tyre. Never heard any complain on FK452 on grip, only that it wears down faster cos soft compound. PP2 is good, but a bit expensive as well. |

yea... actually too soft or not depends on individual... we duno... coz my fren say PP2 too hard... but for me still ok... on the boder line...
V12 is comfort... but handling a lil loose out... thats all... i think S1 also a lil softer than PP2... but not sure though since it have 17" and up... not for me then... |

I drive slow like an uncle It takes skills and guts to handle NCT5 during wet and corner especially when the thread is almost thin. As far as I remember during using the NCT5, I had 2 times controllable skid during high speed. The rule of the thumb is never ever hit your brake hard when driving on wet or emergency braking. Try to control the accelerator first when slowing down and slowly pressing the brake carefully. When entering corner always practice brake first and enter and not braking during cornering. While cornering the only thing you have to do is control the accelerator carefully when taking the apex. Unless there is urgency to press the brake then you have to do so. I'm using 195/55/R15. Bought it around RM225/piece with production date of 'Week 38 2009'. |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 20 2009, 11:18 AM) what is your size??? as bro CheeAnn said... u never get wrong with the over priced Michelin PP2... tis 2 tires will have their own pressure depending on da owner of da car using tis brand~it is quiet... but if you can bear a bit of noise... try Hankook V12... it comes witha lil comfort also... Softer pressure to get more performance??? if you have PP2 and ur fren have Primacy LC means same pressure to get same performance... ??? it is all depends on individual la isn't it??? |

PP2 hydroplaning/aquaplaning is one of the best in it's class... but in terms of quietness i still choose 912 coz PP2 will get a lil noisier when it thread wears after 60%... 2 of the tire is in total different categories... u need better comments and recommendation please give us ur car model, tire size also... then choose... priority... Noise, Handling, Grip, Comfort... 1~4 rank it... there is nothing to perfect but just u can to compromise a bit on certain area... u can try Hankook V12 if you are using some sizes as it give you similar performance like PP2 but noisier, a lil more toward comfort and the last cheaper... |

QUOTE(fazron80 @ Oct 26 2009, 10:28 AM) How much i can get hankook v12 or michelin primacy?. Is michelin primacy lc cost more than PP2. try Hankook V12... as it's performance is comparable with PP2 but the only down side it is a lil noisier than PP2... Another tire I'm interested in is conti sport-contact. Anyone knows the market price now. Currently on standard tyres silverstone kruizer ns500. Time to change since more than 40K using the standard tires. Tyre size is 195-55-R15 its comfort also better than PP2, in return PP2 will be superior in Hydroplaning and also Handling... for Primacy LC, i would say if you driving style is a lil aggressive then it is not suitable for you... this tire is for those luxury saloon which will be driven by non-aggressive driver... as it is soft (comfort) and quiet... so if you wanna switch from ur current tire i think Hankook V12 evo is ok for you... |

PP2 have a harder side all and it has 1 of the best aquaplaning/hydroplaning in the class... S Drive is also did fairly good in every expect... so all this 3 tires really depend on ur preference... T1R and S Drive is directional thread hence it will be noisier than PP2... for a lil comfort GY F1 Assy and Toyo T1R is the choice... but T1R got ppl complaint that it is comfort but the thread life is short... S Drive ppl complaint is noisy that ll what i heard of... but that is your drive??? which is ur priority??? I presume Traction is the most important... choose urself Handing, Noise, Comfort???

A little confused I thought i posted my question about price on another thread. Anyway Thanx for your suggestion.
Actually my preference would be moderate performance and comfortable but not noisy. Also good performance in wet. The perfect choice might be v12 but i read that alot of tyre shop is out of stock. So i need to have a backup choice. My current silverstone kruizer just so so in wet. On comfort, kruizer not really bad really. So my choice of tires should be a level above kruizer. What about conti sportcontact or premium contact? I've eliminate comfortcontact because i think it's not really an upgrade from my current tires. Conti doesn't seem to be the favourite choice here. I think conti tyres are good too. Not a lot of user review on conti. |

well what is ur ride... V12 or PP2 is your choice...
in order to give you a more accurate info we need to know ur ride... coz if ur ride have stiff or hard suspension system... then PP2 might be out of the list... coz it has harder side wall try to look for Ban Hooi Klang i think they do have stock... call up Teik Ming Sunway to ask also...

After using this Federal 595 EVO for about 3 weeks and have drove about 2k plus km
Noise level is high 7/10 Tire side wall stiff 6/10 Dry grip 7.5/10 Wet grip 6/10 Rubber wear 5/10 Dry grip tire very easy to reach optium temperature and dont need to push to warm up it... after reach working temp it will grip very well if you know how to take cornering line in high speed the tire dont make noise, for Understeer in some corner rarely happen in medium & high speed but if entering corner at high speed to a slow speed corner it do understeer due to cornering & braking at the same time Wet road i just push in strait line ... grip is well to cut alot water, Cornering i dint push much as our normal road got oil on the road surface so it will be make it more slippery so GUYS dont push your luck till the edge some time. |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 26 2009, 10:28 AM) yes and that is crazy... expensive... thanks michael for great information and quick feed back. . well now my satria neo tyre going bald soon, tyre stock 195/50/r16 still undecided whether wanna stick to stock profile or go 205/50 or 205/45 series haha.. does the extra width provide a little more comfort? im not really looking for UHP tyres cos i oredi have falken rt-615 on my weekend ride. this satria is used for daily run and sometimes need to go to construction site. so i need some comfort . my priority 1st is comfort and noise then only performance then only thread wear rating. but since u said the car will get a little noisier when reaching 60% then i think i will stick to 912, but do you know these both tyre thread wear rating at?if you wanna compare PP2 with 912... sorry to say but i have not used 912 b4 coz that is performance level not UHP... comfort - 912 handling - PP2 Grips - PP2 Quiet - 912 912 sure more comfort as it aim is performance comfort... not like PP2 where is focus more on its handling.. if about handling then PP2 beats 912... because of it's harder sidewall it give you harsher ride but better handling... grips for PP2 in Wet and Dry also will be better than 912 again... PP2 hydroplaning/aquaplaning is one of the best in it's class... but in terms of quietness i still choose 912 coz PP2 will get a lil noisier when it thread wears after 60%... 2 of the tire is in total different categories... u need better comments and recommendation please give us ur car model, tire size also... then choose... priority... Noise, Handling, Grip, Comfort... 1~4 rank it... there is nothing to perfect but just u can to compromise a bit on certain area... u can try Hankook V12 if you are using some sizes as it give you similar performance like PP2 but noisier, a lil more toward comfort and the last cheaper...

Noise level is high 7/10 Tire side wall stiff 6/10 Dry grip 7.5/10 Wet grip 6/10 Rubber wear 5/10 Dry grip tire very easy to reach optium temperature and dont need to push to warm up it... after reach working temp it will grip very well if you know how to take cornering line in high speed the tire dont make noise, for Understeer in some corner rarely happen in medium & high speed but if entering corner at high speed to a slow speed corner it do understeer due to cornering & braking at the same time Wet road i just push in strait line ... grip is well to cut alot water, Cornering i dint push much as our normal road got oil on the road surface so it will be make it more slippery so GUYS dont push your luck till the edge some time. ur ride pls...

MY01... almost similar with 912 but 912 is is towards comfort...
if you are looking for good and cheap UHP tires... Hankook V12 is the one... i'm using 1 now... 195/55 R15 on my '05 Vios... nice balance of comfort and performance... if not mistaken MY-01 and D-01 traction's rating is only A only... whereas PP2, S Drive, V12, T1R, and few others UHP tires is AA is a step better than those 2 commonly used... |

well im do alot of cornering.
So far dont talk about semi slicks. below Rm200. no need to pick anymore. prada spec 2. is the best. people said sidewall is soft. yes correct. but i manage to make it better by pump more air in it. im usually pump while do cornering at 255 pressure. normal drive mayb just go 245 or 240. so about not semi slicks. potenza Re001, is the best but price. Wow. but not sure is very nice. cuz my 1st performance tire i try in low budget is prada spec 2. and now wanna go between 200 to Rm250. any suggestion? so far Rs2 hancook is that price. V12 how much is it same as Rs2? and how about Hero molenza H1 i think.. the tire thread look like Rs2 hankook as well. About semi slicks, so far is Ad07 but no more production and the next best and cheap semi slicks is Federal 595S. i heard alot. but the rubber do hard core cornering thread will split out.. hmm like u use pencil rubber and u try to erase it and that Rubber Shit tat peel off like that.and also must well taken care of the tire or else the sidewall can split. like old people strip line u know ? so i wanted people have giv more option for me as well plz! pro and really do lot of cornering people. i dont care about noise. since prada spec 2 are not that quite as well. my choice for non semi slicks are Rs2, or hero milanza HR1 . and yet also got someone recommended me. Achilles 123. the thread look a like R888 toyo. |

well Hankook is not Hancock... haha...
Hankook V12 is a good all rounder if you wan a bit comfort + performance... and it is cheap RM190 for 195/55 R15 fitted on my Vios more than 6 months... Federal is ok also but depends what you want... for you, the ride might be a lil harsh... depends... what is ur priorities... Handling, Ride comfort??? choose 1... then u need to consider about noise also... btw u pump 255??? about 34 PSI only??? my Vios i'm using 35~36 PSI in front already with my Hankook V12... the ride is still accceptable for my side... if you cannot give up the ride comfort then better u skip those semi slick tires...

No conti user here to give review? Hope v12 will be available again next month when i go to klang.
Went with a friend to batu gajah yesterday to survey tyres and ask for michelin primacy. One worker pointed to a set of tyres he called MICHELIN MAXXIS! Totally clueless that guy. Another worker proudly said they don't sell cheap tyres(Since when michelin is cheap). They only have michelin made in Italy? price at RM350 for 15 inch!!! Ask him what type he don't know just claim it's from Italy. Hopeless shop. |

@SK_C@
bro, yokohama never come out with 912. you could be referring to falken ze912. both are almost equal but comfort and noise wise, falken912 is a lil' ahead. @michael9413@ i finally got hold of the v12 on my friend's car. the overall performance is up to my expectation slightly more comfortable than c.drive. btw, from my experience, sime astar 300 perform slightly better than d-01 in wet |

Tire : Federal 595EVO .... tire spec UTQG 260.A.A for tread wear and grip level performance. Tire Preasure: Front 260/kpa Rear 220/kpa normal gas station air. Camber Setting front 1.5 Rear 0 as OEM cant be adjust Titan suspension setup Spring Rate Front 5kg/mm Rear about 2~2.5kg/mm (rear is about standard spring from toyota and supply by APM) Day 1 Before Install... when to test drive at ampang lookup point/ little genting -Road condition not all part of the road is smooth, some part of the road is patch here and there and some part of the road is deeps in maybe road patch is not very well... like this ------_________--------- -Car Condition all stock just sport rims .. -test run 1 stock speed up about 70kmh~90kmh, during corner the car very unstable speed was drop to 60kmh when coming downhill, during cornering the car feel like in a boat ride when wave is strong... so i backoff try not to risk then when to install Titan suspension After install Titan suspension, they check the setting and have some driving around the office ... After all the done, Titan son and me when for test drive we use some short cut road to Ampang lookup point ... i start with slow drive to feel how it respond on slow speed at 60kmh... good ride feel like using sport spring not too stiff ...cornering is stable ... Then i increase the speed to 100kmh ~ 120kmh in strait road and corner the feel is much more better very control suspension damping & rebound is very well set.... then we reach a part of corner with patch road with deeps in ------_______-------- is during cornering speed at that time was 110kmh... i was scare the tail of the car will let go (oversteer) cause happen to me before ... sad experince that time ... so i dint think much continue to speed dont care much ...surprise dint Oversteer at all so i continue few more corner .... hehe really happy then on the way back to Titan office i take a 90 degree turn and jam brake during turning ... surprise the rear part of the car dint power slide off ..... even Titan son also surprise Day 2 testing is on hill road with high speed corner and medium speed corner road was very smooth... Day 2 Medium speed & High speed corner ( #Dont Try this At home# ) Location from shah alam to KL to Berjaya Hill resort -ride from Shah alam to Gombak toll was fine, even my co-driver dint notice i have install Titan suspension at the early stage... dint tell him about the installation ..hehe when reach road that have yellow line to slow your car speed ... it feel stiff if the yellow line is thicker at some road ... i had that ride feel even in stock suspension... -Going up hill was fine then i told my co-driver i have install titan he was shock, he say the car dint bounce much on the slow speed and ride is confort car speed follow speed limit hehe then after the Genting tunnel i increase speed abit on the long strait downhill, after that long strait got few medium speed corner (last time on my old car max ever go is 100/kmh) then i try to push with Titan at that time was doing 130kmh ~ 140kmh got some G force feel hehe... surprice the Federal 595EVO tire dint not loss traction dint feel understeer during turning and even increase speed in the corner -When arrive at Berjaya hill resort at the early guard house before arrive the hill up there the road surface is smooth but the tar is not so nice tire killer road ...hehe during that time my tire have reach optium temperature small stone stick on the tire when drive slow slow 20/kmh... continue to drive the road designer was very good for berjaya hill resort if drive FR can play drifting haha... continue to attack corner after corner... push and push want to feel when is the tire oversteer and understeer but it just continue give more traction really good tire #Dont Try this at home# -on the way back to KL from berjaya hill resort slow drive after the tunnel cause rain that time, then from tunnel after that got few medium speed also driving slow wet road hehe... after that long strait the road was dry and nice then a myvi over take me outside, i continue to push in corner he dare not to push hehe ... then a lotus elise on my tail .. he tail gate me then when strait he over take me then in a fast corner i follow him very close bumper to bumper that time in front of him was no car he was pushing in corner and i follow him very close that time during cornering i was doing 160/kmh ~ 170/kmh my friend was so silent dare not to say any things that time ...haha tire grip still very good dint feel understeer or oversteer after that corner come to main strait again then i loss out on topspeed but good fight on the high speed corner sedan 1.5 VS sport car 1.8 with MR drive system...haha our Vios really can kick some butt even lotus cant pull away in high speed corner (maybe driver issue)...haha After that follow speed limit ...that is Day 2 testing |

yes do not buy the tire cos of thread... if u r like that then u never will touch PP2... but it is quite good although the wet handling could be better... otherwise it is a good tire...
because it is asymmetric pattern... not aggressive looking... |

Noted, as last time i was asking high speed balancing ...
during that day 2 testing chasing lotus in the cornering, during cornering at i think 180kmh + my steering was vibrate .... cause when i try to reach topspeed steering also start to vibrate at that speed 180kmh ... after that when i look at the meter it was 160~170 ... can say fast ... i was that time try to push what it the limit of the tire... so i was asking where can do high speed balancing to stop the wheel vibrate issue...in another thread i only can advise is dont push your luck till the edge in the rain no mater how good is the tire are |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 27 2009, 02:49 PM) sorry u cannot compare comfort level of 912 n A drive to PP2... guess he neva use PP2 like u do lo~ PP2 is more towards handling tire... it has harder side wall than even C Drive how can u say it is comfort as 912 or A drive??? |

@michael9413@
yeah! agree with you. pp2 was good in fast cornering but losing out on wet grip and thread life my opinion could be biased; caused by the suspension setup and tyre presure in my car the last time around. feel comfy' with pp2 back then; while am still on comfort suspension. ever since i shifted to 'stone hard' tein adjustable on my lousy car, the slight different in tyre can be feel straight away btw, among the directional thread i've d try, v12's noise level was the most tolerable. am tempted to try federal. oly, any federal tyre on 205/55/r15? |

@loong2020@
batang kali -genting and certain strecth at karak highway...esp. near the river is kinda like haunted btw, be extra careful when driving at midnight too. once, i saw a big signboard in the middle of the road. luckily i managed to avoid it. could be purposely put there by those unresponsible tow truck driver. @michael9413@ aren't the ride is a bit harsh on 35 - 36 psi? are you on stock suspension, btw? have you try the federal tyre? considering that the price of 16" ad08 is still sky high, am kinda tempted to give it a go. |

well have not try Federal... but Hankook V12 has soft compound and also soft side wall still ok lo...
almost like PP2 with 34 PSI but still more comfort... my Vios all stock... if you want harder side wall tires you can consider S Drive also but it is a lil noisy la... RE001??? 15" for AD08 already RM400 16" around RM500 kua... at that price i duno whether i wanna try or not... next might be Federal..

yngwie,
Federal they got few type range from Semi slick 595 Rs-R performance very close to Toyo R888 on track and the best is alot cheaper the toyo Street 595 Evo i think cheapest street performance tire, Im using now Street 595 SS ppl say for drift use ... but saw some MPV using it... bizzy, since AD08 is over price why not give a try on Kumho performance is very close to AD08 and price is about half of them ... that subject to size too cause i only check for 15' another tire is toyo R888 cheaper then AD08 performance is alot better the AD08... If u all the time is corner kaki try to look for low number UTQ grade >200 |

@bizzy,
S drive is still ok ok but if you are aggressive freak and u don mind wet grip pls go for semi-slick... @xshiro, if you really read thru the forum i have review it countless time to other members... tired already talking... please search around... i'd used 3 set of PP series which 2 of them PP2... then currently on Hankook V12 changed on May '09... all 195/55 R15 size... PP2 is more towards high speed handling (harder side wall), a lil quieter than V12 and hydroplaning is best in it's class... but u get harsh ride if you have already a sport suspension (not suitable for ppl driving Honda's) for me Vios still ok, Wet cornering may understeer sometimes V12 offer you better comfort (softer side wall) and also wet cornering... but u have a slower steering response about 0.5 sec when u are driving around 100km/h and it is noisier than PP2 just a summary pls look back for my post on more details... @vios2002, how mcuh is the 595 evo??? i'm using 195/55 R15... what is the previous tire u had used b4??? how does it fair with it? |

Yeah, maybe because of the harder sidewall, I'm currently using 'wannabe sports setup' as well (tanabe spring with monroe reflex), during highspeed (120 km/h and above) i can feel the hardness but during corner it really response.but u get harsh ride if you have already a sport suspension (not suitable for ppl driving Honda's) for me Vios still ok, Wet cornering may understeer sometimes |

@michael9413,
I can say cheap i get the federal 595 Evo at RM198 pc i dint trade in my old tire... Last time my old car i use Dunlop & goodyear tire with super hard rubber like taxi driver use cheap cheap good good .... then upgrade to Yokohama A-drive then chop shop tire ... yokohama DNA/ES100 and dunlop something also chop shop ... go genting no issue even from chop shop maybe make in japan... then now Federal 595EVO before buying 595Evo i was looking for Goodyear RS sport ... every hard to find then look for toyo R1r... price issue ...then 595Rs-R i was worry wet road and high wear rate cause semi slick rubber and i think with 180UTQ ... then skip... Im still looking for GY RS sport...any idea where got for 15"? |

then u should try out Hankook V12... oh u are looking for that... hmmm not sure though some of the size they seldom have stock..
i duno now i wan some one who use V12 and 595 Evo to compare for me... coz V12 is comfort and it's performance comparable with some others... and it's noise still bearable and some one did told me it can be consider as quiet for directional tires... what is ur drive... hmmm maybe we can have TT and test the tire... BTW V12 only cost me RM180 at Klang without any trade in as the old PP2 will be fitted to my SEG... |

Hey there, i m on SEG 1.6 M and now using 195/55/15 sport rims with Dunlop Formula D01...
previously on stock rims 185/65/14 ( think) and yokohama S306 changed to dunlop due to s306 making me VERY VERY paranoid in wet conditions.... s306 nice 2 skid/slide in d dry through controllable slide.... dunlop is on rails in dry but once traction breaks threes NO control dunlop is much better in wet with a pretty good price 2 years back. its time to change and i am looking for comfort + quiet + good wet handling. Please share comments experiences on those 2 tires mentioned above as well as recommendations on future choices and prices. not into spirited driving everyday jus once in a bLUE MoOn This post has been edited by TaQ: Nov 3 2009, 12:59 AM |

er... throw all away... ???
well if you are using 195/55 R15 and u wan control during wet condition you have few choices.... Michelin PP2, Hankook V12, BS Adrenalin RE001, Toyo T1R... those tire if not mistaken all rated AA in traction standard... while D-01 is only A or B not sure... Michelin PP2, BS RE001 is a bit hard but if you SEG is on stock then it should not be a problem for you... i had PP2 installed to my SEG 2 set already... Hankook V12 u get all those u wan... but it's Hydroplaning is not that good that day i went back from KLIA to USJ at ELITE... raining quite heavy and i drive around 120km/h it loose to PP2 in hydroplaning but it's cornerning and also braking ability is good also... and the best is it only cost RM190 in Klang Valley... while PP2 cost around RM240, Toyo T1R around RM260 (not that sure) and lastly the most expensive RE001 is around RM300 |

ok... well side wall hardness i duno as i never use Dunlop and BS b4... i only stick to Michelin PP2 for 3 years at least when i put 15" on my SEG... i can say PP2 harder side wall will give you superb handling and also god hydroplaning, since your absorber is quite soft i assume it suits the car...
while Hankook V12 which i install on my vios after 2 set of PP2, my summary is PP2 will give you harder ride while V12 gives u comfort and gripping at cornering, but the downside is the ability of hydroplaning and the handling which PP2 strong at... it is your choice to choose which one u wan... but the traction of all those tire for sure is better than D-01... RE001 i heard it is a bit on the hard side like PP2 or slightly harder... |

got chance to try dunlop D01 where just installed in my mom's car.....well..i can say its good for normal driving and slight average cornering.....but once you break the traction, the tire screeches and whole car understeer badly...and i tested the same stretch where i use my PP2 to corner but different car..la... D01 definitely suitable for normal driving, slightly hard still ok but if trash it then
......quiet tire also....  |

yea... compare to others UHP tires it is quite quiet and also among the best Hydroplaning tire... V12's can compare to it when u say traction and braking performance but Hydroplaning lose to it... really shock when i felt skidding a bit during quite heavy rain on highway... only 110 ~120 km/h nothing compare to previously when i'm using PP2 usually it can go up to 140~150km/h

@loong... yea Dunlop D01... cannot push ... push either get wild understear or wild overstear... no control... not subtle and controllable.... but to get to to do either is also quite hard....hav to really drive rough... under rain conditions... almost similar but easier 2 push it and lose control.... its a bit hard... quite quiet for an old tire... plus not to mention bang for the buck!
Loong and michael ......i wonder how pp2 sound and harshness and wet driving is compared to dunlop??? @michael... hmm v12 hydroplaning not as good as PP2? i m considering v12 now after reading some of ur comments.... hmmm i jus wonder how v12 is compared to dunlop..... any comparison on dunlop formula D01 ... hankook v12 and pp2? |

taq...given mark based on my experience...RE001=80%...PP2=80%...Toyo T1R 80%...Dunlop D01=40%
u get my point?.. Hankook v12 70% vs pp2 80% pp2 win all over for performance... |

currently using Hankook V8RS 165/50/15 on my kelisa.
previously using Falken ST115. ST115 is so much better. the hankook is good....but cant compare with the falken in dry or wet....especially in wet. the ST115 feels like the road is dry even when its raining. really good tires for wet weather....and hell of alot more quiet too. sux that its out of production for other sizes already though anyway...curious to know... after the D01 feedbacks... i wonder how these tires compare to Silverstone Evol8?

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... |

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?

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%... |

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...

there is not such size...
17" and above... for ur size u have Hankook V12, Michelin PP2, Yokohama AD08, Yokohama S Drive, Federal 595 Evo, Toyo T1R, BS Adrenalin RE001... for performance Toyo DRB, Falken 912, Michelin Primacy LC, Yokohama C Drive for comfort... ur choice... the price is around RM170 up to RM300, but Yokohama top range tire AD08 will cost you more than RM350 for ur size... |

I'm drivin a Nissan Sentra 1.6 XE (N16)....Still using standard tyre 185/60 R15 Goodyear NCT 5....a bit of thread noise. Anything much quieter & slightly better grip plus comfort will do....of coz not too expensive ..hehe... By d way what is 195...55.... as R15 means 15 inch right? Thanks Michael... |

Falken 912 is better than GY NCT5... NCT for me is killer tires... i can kill u any time... the traction of the tire makes me throw it away after 50% of usage...

Wow I didn't know NCT5 is better then Falken 912
and is MY01 better than the 2 of the above? All along in my mind, NCT5 is crap, MY01 is crap, never bother about Falken 912 This post has been edited by shinjite: Nov 16 2009, 11:53 PM |
