QUOTE(yngwie @ Nov 24 2010, 07:05 PM) if there is no external / physical damage to the tires, perhaps, you could try to claim a warranty. there are warranty for such?! but i got it when was studying in melaka... now in selangor... so drive to melaka for warranty need constant high speed right?! else, drive slowly. the bulging spot is the weakest point. tire burst at constant high speed could be the possibility. change to new tire. rotating is not advisable. if you put it to front, its very risky for a front wheel drive car. if you put it to the rear, the extra pressure /load during cornering will further weaken the tire. the bulging is at the side of the tire... is it worst or better than bulging on the bottom? since bottom bigger surface area than side... more surface area means the rest of the part can somehow support right? |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Nov 25 2010, 07:43 AM) if there is no physical damage / scratch to the tire, you may try to claim. im using silverstone... i told my fren my tire bulging he instantly ask me silverstone right?! then he say hard to claim warranty one for all tires.. think will go for replacement... but cant afford to change all tires... need to find back same profile... and i got a weird profiles... 185/50/15.. what brands have this? i know yokohama doesnt have...you should call the tires dealer for clarification. or try asking at respective dealer. ie; to your tire manufacturer dealer around nearer to you. bulging spot is consider the weakest point. if it was on the surface, constant contact with surface will further weaken it. new replacement is the safest choice. QUOTE(nestum @ Nov 26 2010, 02:17 AM) usually tire manufacture wont give any waranty to the tire sidewall no matter bulging issue ,crack , or leaking what is the reason behind sidewall couldnt claim ? btw u selling yokohama tyres right ? beginning of this year the shop told me this year tyre price will rise... is that true ?but some claim tat sidewall crack can be claim..dono how he manage to do so |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Nov 26 2010, 11:09 PM) try 185/55 R15 or 195/50 R15 lo... slightly bigger but still within 3% limit... can get few nice tires there... depends on your budget... budget below RM 200 including trade in price... plan to change 2 tires if change profile.. any suggestion of which brand ? yokohama a.drive or falken should be within the range right ? |

R1 do not have for 15"... according to website, A drive more Fuel efficient compare to C drive... but C better handling right ? the FC big diff apart ?? thanks for answering my prev questions man... really appreciate it...Skip Falken 522, GY NCT5 or even BS MY-01... for Yokohama tires u can try A Drive R1 or C Drive 2 (new)... if not then Falken 912 already... |
