Thanks a lot bro. will keep u posted if i need any help!!

what is your ride?

serious?
I thought all this while LC is positioned as 1 level higher than XMS by Michelin. I would assume the same goes with LC vs XM2. Think more of 2 different purpose, LC meant for low NVH, softer (hence good grip too) and rolling resistance while XM2 for longer durability, but now with improved grip.
Am I right to think like this?

how did u come up with an approx assumption based on mileage for 6 months?

Hi guys, it's about time to change my tyres. I drive a 95 civic with stock 14" rims. My preference for the new tyres would be fuel efficiency. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Edit: I do mainly city driving.

i'm planning to get new tires for my waja.. size is 195/50/16..
because of that size, heard that there's not much option for me..
so far only saw falken ziex with that size..
any1 know what other brands and model that can be an option for me?
i prefer quiet tires..

thanks

The same way car manufacturers come up with the servicing intervals based on mileage.

u do realise lubricants is different from tyre right?
so average will be a better word in place of approx which will give green owners a false sense of security?

what if i told u, for the same rubber it will be gone within the month if i am the one using it?

which do you guys recommend for my Toyota Camry?
tire size 215/60 R16

what i am having in my mind now is:
Michelin Energy xm2, primacy Lc.

which tire is better in terms of comfort?

any other recommendation is welcomed.

i tested both Primacy LC and PS3... i ride on many different brands before...

so far, Primacy LC gives best comfort and lowest noise

yeah.. primacy is my first choice... heard from a friend that primacy is a very good tyre. but it's too expensive. just wondering is it worth to top up extra rm130 for the primacy....or should i just get the xm2 instead..

should be 205/50 front 225/45 rear if u were to have this...
btw, who noe where got 225/45?...

U dont get what im trying to say. Im not refering to the actual parts of service. Im talking about the mileage. You know most brochures say service every 10,000km or 3 months. How did they come up with 10,000km in 3 months? Thats based on the average usage of a vehicle for the specified period based on normal usage.

Thats wht im refering to! Not whether its tyres or lubricant or whether a part lasts longer or shorter.

how about C.drive2 and the lastest Advan DB

Can recomend me a good tyre for 14inch 6jj rim

prefer 185/60/14 or 185/55/14

i like v12 evo unfortunately not available in 14inch size

fazron80@
should be okay with 205/50/16. provided the suspension is not worn out.
as usual, some compromise in speedo reading / overall performance.

reef_d@
sharing your waja's donut with your neo?
195/50/16 is almost as rare as 205/50/16. ze-912 is decent but not sure if they carry the size.
for comfort ride, you can try yokohama range of a.drive.

u finally used the word average instead of approx...

Yes should be ok but it's not. It's hitting the fender under full load. that's why I'm thinking of changing the rear tyre to 205/45/16. Suspension is not worn out.

cant share/pass over already cos now neo on 15" rims while waja 16'
if 195/50/16 is too rare, think i'll go for 205/50/16.. or maybe downgrade my rims to 15", then i can swap rims between my cars when i get bored..

btw. any huge hit to acceleration performance if changing from 195 to 205? since the rubbers are wider, it would need more power to move the car rite?
