Guys, need your advice here. Wanna change my Mit Triton stock tyre (Continental 245/70/R16) and stock 16" rim to much bigger rim & tyre.

What is a good tyre and rim to fit in my triton ah ? Planning to change to 275mm or 285mm size tyre and 17 or 19 rim. Roughly how much the price normally ah ? I dont like noisy tyre and drive more on urban road.

Anybody knows good wheel shop in Kuching/Sarawak?

Thanks. BTW I am a Mitusubishi Triton Owner QAL4XX4 rclxms.gif Will post the pic of my truck later. rclxms.gif

Just call the authorized dealer of Michelin Tyre in Kuching, they quote RM680 for Latitude 275/70/R16. Went to their shop and look for sport rim, the quote RM2700 for 4 sets of Enkei 16" rim. sweat.gif

That's just outta my budget cry.gif . Planned to buy tyre first, next month baru buy rims.

BTW anybody know where can I get this thing ?

Will sell it soon and get new SUV (Fortuner of Pajero Sport). No point of keeping "lorry like" car when we never put things on the bucket doh.gif

If it is a 3.2 triton to 2.5 Fortuner/PS, it'll be a down grade...

Super Select gear of Pajero Sport will be nice to play with... but you pay 40 to 50% of the price in taxes when compare to the triton...Worth it?

Mine is triton 2.5. I need a fast, comfortable and durable 4x4 and of course that will last for several years as I traveling to project site frequently. Any recommendation guys? Double cab bump like hell on the offroad and often feels like to puke driving with full stomach after lunch. And onroad the triton feel like snail with almost full throttle 3000rpm and speedometer only 110/120/130km/h doh.gif .

Wondering how come the pajero sport price is double triton price when they just add minor things and almost identical to triton. hmm.gif Seems like just adding canopy on the backside, change the headlamp, leather seat and dvd monitor for triton. doh.gif

between auto & manual transmission ( mitsubishi triton 2.5 turbo ) which one u guys choose?

Choose auto la, if manual later if u drive through a traffic jam then ur leg will become "krem krem". Nowadays everywhere got traffic jam, so hard to drive to work, sampai ofis kaki sudah penat tekan clutch.

Yup you are right, I drive both auto & manual, auto is my company car, manual is mine, almost same performance offroad, although auto a little bit annoying on the gear but it is still ok and easy to drive offroad and onroad. Manual haiya.. Need to change from gear 1 to gear 2 fast, if not engine will sound like big tug boat and black smoke will come out from the exhaust. I like to use direct gear 2 from stop when driving in the urban area.
