Hi Guys,

I'm using Falken ZE522 195/55R15 for 3 years
Recently, I found it to be very noisy!
I have not drive my car for 5 weeks, and my sister was driving it.

I'm not sure if it's engine sound or tyre sound.
When i drive like more than 80kmh, then the sound is clearly there

Is it time to change my tyres?

hi guys

i'm driving a honda city vtec (not i-vtec version)
Currently i'm using Falken 195/55/R15, decided to change 2 sets of tyres
well, the boss recommended me Michelin PS 3 185/55/R15. She said (yes, she) Michelin 195 is bigger than Falken 195, advised me to use 185 instead.
Price wise, RM210 including nitrogen (which i think is useless tongue.gif)

So, should I go with 195 or 185?

LOL.. yea man.. she told me Michelin is like gwai lou's size. asian size smaller rclxub.gif so take 185...

well, i think the price she offered for 185 (RM210) is quite cheap lo.. as it's near my area, no need drive so far away.
i'll try to ask for 195 tmr, see what price she offers...

HAHAHA
i just go there change tyres only
no need to care the story she told
the price she offered me for 185 was RM210 per pc, which is quite reasonable from what I saw at the tyre price thread

I'm going to ask her the price for 195... if below RM250 then I'll just do it at her shop
She claimed her shop is Michelin service center

try to press her until RM200... smile.gif as i heard PS3 195/55 R15 lowest is RM220 from Klang, i got mine in PJ for RM230 and mostly in KL area RM250...

finally, changed all the 4 tyres at the same shop, 185/55/R15
she removed my current falken 195/55/R15 and compared with the PS3
the PS3 185 is really same width as falken 195
i didn't measure, just see through naked eyes

she recommend me to take 195/50/R15, and quoted me RM230 per pc

in the end, i just took 185/55/R15 laugh.gif

hi all, currently i am using the pp2 215/45 r17 tyre on the civic. seems like the tyre sound is so loud when driving.... sad.gif
is there any other brand of tyre that can provide more silent drive? i doesn't need so performance tyre... jt silent and comfort type will do...
can the v12 do the job? roughly how much the price now?? or any other suggestion?? wat is the lifespan for the pp2(in millage) as i need to estimate when need to change it.... thanks in advance.... biggrin.gif

Well, I too changed my set of tyres when it is very noisy when the speed went over 60km/h
After changed, it's no doubt quieter, but still noisy.
The mechanic that changed my tyres said the bearing is spoiled. need to change
RM240 for honda city sweat.gif

did major service on Monday, cost me RM700
changed don't know what bush/ bar on the front side cost me RM350
changed 4 tyres cost RM840

then i don't want to change the bearing tongue.gif
but now, it's really noisy. but i'm not very sure if the noise is from the bearing
