no comment~
but u can try ask for free balancing+free new rubber valve if u're a good nego type of ppl~

yea, getting free balancing, metal valve.
this one is from eneos 1u.

i wanted to get xm1, but 15" only got 195/60...
right now for 195/50 its between PP2 or 912 la...
but the shop near my place here who sell PP2 want to charge for balancing / nuts / valve somemore...so screw them la.

Ed, 50 series tyres is damn noisy. That Falken is actually in my consideration as well, but the shop (which is a friend's) recommend A drive (which is in my option) instead. I was looking at 195/55/15 tyres.

but the shop i talk to say between 195/50 and 195/55 not much of a difference.
afterall the thickness is only 9.75mm difference...plus i can always turn up my ICE tongue.gif
also i was thinking 185/55/15 just to maintain within the 3% rule...but that one for falken they say must special order from japan.

whats the xm1 price they quote u? u have any experience using that?
some random shop quote me 3xx/pc for 15" PP2  wink.gif
*
currently im on xm1 13" la...so looking for replacement soon...
wanna change to 15" also...and since xm1 15" is got no 50 or 55 series...have to look elsewhere...
for 195/50 my choice came down to PP2 (RM200) or 912 (RM180)...
probably go for the 912...since eneos gives free balancing / metal valve etc...the PP2 shop (MW tyre) must pay for those extras...somemore ask me to pay for the nuts too.
