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.

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.. smile.gif

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.

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...

Tek Ming Auto Service Sdn Bhd
Bandar Sunway, Selangor, Malaysia
  No. 1 & 3 Jalan PJS 11/24, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya,...
But after first alignment I drive the car going left..I returned to your shop and did second time same thing happened =(  I am very disappointed with the service provided....
Should I go for third time tomorrow or jus change to other shop =( money wasted..I spend extra RM60 to repair the sport rim some more... other than buy 4 new tyres =( =( =(

a lot of place should have stock already... USJ1 Quicksave have stock but limited size...
if you are looking for comfort, 195/55 R15 is better... Falken 912 is nice, RM200/pc but wears a bit faster when you use it like a performance tire... u can try Hankook V12 but it is directional tires, so it might be a lil noisy for you... but since you say MY-01 is ok then V12 should not have any problem... MY-01 sucks la, the grip in wet like float...
you cannot fit a R17 tires to a R16 rim and also the opposite... what is your original size...
use 215/60 R16 look for GR90 it is comfort and nice although the price is a lil expensive compare to CC5..
185/65 R14??? i thought wira should be 185/60 R14... C Drive or C Drive 2 is nice...
what is your stock size... if your stock size is 195/50 R15 or 185/55 R15 or 185/60 R14 then change to 195/60 R15 is not advisable because 195/60 R15 is over +/- 3% of your stock size... over 3% it will affect your electronics calculation and also ur ABS braking too...

why you wanna change to 195/60 R15??? not comfort enough on 195/55 R15???

my stock tyres is 195/55/r15

195/55/r15 a bit too hard

195/60/r15 - a bit cheaper
