roadstone N3000?

some review from person I know ''as tested, the tire is quite quit at any speed and road condition... the moment i test it, i can feel its light and low rolling resistance. so far, in dry, tested, the tire seems to control very well... but i have not yet try to extend limit, and will do soon... so far, in wet condition... it grips surprisingly at any speed (tested up to 200km/h), good grip in wet condition while in emergency and good car weight control."

changing tire soon,whats best for 175/65 r14,currently using goodyear

any advice for 195/65/15..thank..

s1evo's overall performance is almost comparable to re001. with re001 more 'planted' in wet and also has harder sidewall.
bonus ; s1evo return a better tread wear rating. sidewall not as hard as re001 thus gives a more comfortable ride.
ps3 is fine but the sidewall is a letdown. pumping higher does help marginally.

boonykun@
regarding on the ps3, it was caused by your waja bad alignment and not the tires.
btw, tires price already up a few times last year. so, its normal for michellin to be expensive.

advanced@
any michellin range is fine for 14". just stay away from silverstone m series. no grip in wet.
also, nct5 is not advisable due to weak upper sidewall and loss of grip at 60% tread wear.

vince_teh@
michellin ps3 is fine. so does hankook v12, yokohama c.drive, bridgestone playz or falken 912. much depend on your budget and driving preference. for comfort and relax ride, continental comfort 5 and a.drive is okay.

Thanks for the input bro

change to bridgestone turanza AR10 190/60/15
not bad....

i change front two piece dunlop fm901
big bang for your buck

huh! i thought i already gave my feedback on this tires a few post back. that time, 205/45/16 still cost around 230 each. were your fm901 is made in indonesia with 220 tread wear rating?
wait till the tiny tread line gone and it will be one of the noisiest tires around especially when speed is over 90km/h.
due to the wheels protector pattern, the tires is wider than other brand of similar size. if your manufacturer recommendation is 210 kpa or so, make sure to pump at least 10 -25kpa higher. high tendency of sidewall flex and
easily return a floating' feel in high speed / wet.
then again, its okay for not so spirited driving style. and directional tread looks nice too.

im using 185/60/r15. should maintain it or change to 195/50 or 195/55 or 185/55?

Hi all,

I'm driving a Vios G spec, and am considering to change the tyres (wear out d).

Can anyone suggest me a set of good tyres? I'm always on the road, and many of the times I drive long distance.

My budget will be around RM200 (or slightly, not too much more) per tyre.

Thanks!

kazami@
looks like 195/55/15 is your best choice. changing to 195/50/15 is already more than 4% from the stock
tires. too much compromise in performance. but your fc might be better thou. also, 195 width will give more traction compare to 185. just make sure your stock rim is at least of 6jj.
sidewall thickness does not effect the ride comfort as much as the sidewall propriety.

yan5619@
what is your driving style / preference?
since you always on the road, standard choice is continental comfort 5 or yokohama a.drive which is more of a comfort and less noise.
if you're really on budget, there are achilles atr sports with 400 tread wear rating.
as usual, for comfort tires, there are some compromise in performance but their tread usually rated higher than those of performance orientated tires.

Well I do drive fast sometimes...but of course, there's only so much speed a Vios can handle, I just want something safe that gives me good grip in all conditions.
I realised quite some body rolling when making corner (or highway exits which you have to make a big big big circle), so is it because the car is built like this, or can the tyre help it?

PS is RM200+- considered cheap for a tyre? Sorry this is my first time changing tyre LOL

Thanks so much!

Hello yngwie,

I am thinking of"

1. Falken FK452
2. Michelin PS3
3. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Size if 225/45/17 for the front and 245/40/17 for the rear, it is for W204 C230. Which one do you recommend? I am looking at an all rounder tyres. The original Michelin Primacy HP is too expensive. Thanks!!

Get PS3. For 15 inch it is still affordable compared to 16 and 17 inch. You'll regret not getting it when the price is hike again. Tyre prices will only go up and up and up and up. You might not afford it anymore in the future so get it now.

Dear All,

im currently using PS3 for 225/40/18 ZR

time to chnage but ps3 price increased fast from last year rm655 Klang Hin Leong and now rm790 from the same shop.

Im now looking into other brands such as


1) Yokohama S drive
2) Toyo TR1
3) Conti sport 2


Or any other recommend? my bedget is rm600 or below per piece.

Many thanks.

What is the price for a piece of PS3?
Thanks!

hi liwyt,

how is the ps3 perform? can last how many km? comfortable? quiet or noisy? can share your reviews?

thanks

I'm using S drive now. My own opinion is it's on par with PS3 in terms of performance. Better in corners due to harder sidewall. But lacks in comfort. Hard ride and noisy compared to PS3. Stay away from conti. I shake my head driving my friend's car fitted with CSC2. Toyo never tried. Take a look at Kumho and Hankook too.


Should be around 250-270. It might increase again so your choice if want to skip this tyre thinking that its price is expensive. But you might regret next time when the price is no longer that. 16 inch price for PS3 is close to Rm500. Compare that to the 15 inch price.

yan5619@
are you on stock 185 width tires? if so, increasing it to 195 with 55 profile or even 205/45/16 might help.
check out tires conversion calculator in my 1st post.
also, changing to better suspension will definitely improves the handling. as usual, you can't have both so,
choose either handling or comfort.
btw, depend on your size, but 200 bucks is quite on the cheap side.
you could up your budget and try ps3. 15" is about 250 each or so.

1. Falken FK452 - good grip and aqua planning resistance but tend to be noisy when tires tread wear out progressively.
2. Michelin PS3 - best bang for bucks. good dry and wet grip. but sidewall a tad softer for touge'.
3. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric - very promising but a friend of mine had his f1 asy's sidewall cracked due to
too much abuse. guess it's not the tires fault thou...

if you don't push hard in corner, ps3 is the best choice. quite comfort and quiet with better grip too. not to mentioned
it has the highest tread wear which in turn made is last longer than the other 2.

liwyt@
s.drive is fine.
toyo t1r's tread is too soft. conti sports 2 sux' in wet braking.
other alternative is s1evo. if you're tight on budget, hankook v12 is worth a look.

Wondering whats the price of Adrenalin RE-002 when it is released here officially
