Wanna check with you guys,
normally u go change tyre when is the manufacture date? 1month? 3month, 6month 9month or 1year? I just change from my 17k mileadge NCT5 to Michelin Primacy LC, but the noise level is almost the same and i cant feel so much improvement, is it bcoz of my new michelin LC tyre is 9month old? Yr 2609. Compare to when i got my new car with new NCT5, its more quiet than current tyre. Can i request them to change to new tyre for me? |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Mar 11 2010, 09:23 AM) bro ychwang, pls post only in Tire discussion thread... Is it reasonable for me to request change to new tyre? since when i got the tyre i seen the rubber already quite old. I believe new tyre with softer rubber will do much better.tat is ok... the quietness is very subjective as the road and also ur car sound insulation is not good already NCT5 quiet after 50% used it is not any more... what car are you driving? 1 yr from the manufacturing date is ok... BTW i totally banned NCT5 already it might take lifes... all GY Tires in the middle and lower range sucks... their top range F1 series is good... if not mistaken ur is a Kelisa or Kenari... try Kumha ESPT or Michelin PP2... this is give you ample of grip in wet...  I'm using persona, when first i got the new car its very very quiet with brand new NCT5 tyre. I dun believe a new Michelin LC can noisier than new NCT5. Somemore the car is just about 1year old with 17k mileage n i only drive for around 6-9month(oversea). |

Nop, i didnt see the color line thread on the wheel, It only have the sticket which is quite very worn out.
1 or 2tyre show 2609, but the rest of the tyre only show year 2009, maybe its week 20 year 09 or it only show the year as 2009 only. when going over normal road i can hear humming sound.. i only feel the quietness whenever there is newly paved road. This is unreasonable right? it should only feel noise on rough road, the rest should be feel quiet. This post has been edited by ychwang: Mar 11 2010, 10:31 AM |

I had change 4pcs my 17k mileage NCT5 to Primacy LC,
One thing i notice, during Dry, LC is just abit better than NCT5, but on Wet, LC is more worst than even my 50% NCT5. |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Mar 19 2010, 10:23 AM) well there is a lot of case that ppl complaint about Primacy LC's wet... as it is for comfort sure it will loose to a performance tire... but again sometimes it depends on situation also... all i know is wet traction is ok but hydroplaning effect on LC is not that good compare to NCT5... I'm driving persona, std tyre is 195/60R15, luckly i didnt upgrade to 205/50R16, for a price tyre RM420/pcs x 4 = rm1680 give me this kind of wet performance. I'll very disappointed. if u are 195/65 R15 and above u can give Toyo C1S a try which quite some numbers of good feedback, at least it is better than LC in wet... there is a reminder, if you are looking for comfort... then Primacy LC and C1S is good, but those tires wet traction or hydroplaning resistance might loose to a performance tire... so there is always pros and cons... so set your priority b4 purchase... btw bro mind to tell me what vehicle are you driving... But compare 205 vs 195 on LC, does it have a lot diff better grip in wet/dry? |
