Finally manage to go survey at bangi section 1 tyre shop with the big hankook signage..



didnt have that many stock actually..
only carries v2 concept, ventus hr2 and v8rs..
evo v12 needs to be ordered cos according to shop seller its a bit pricey to the other tyres he keep stock..

for example..
195/55/15 if v2 concept its rm190 a piece, rm220 for evo 12..
quite cheap rite the v2 concept since its the latest tire from hankook with a AA rating and a whopping 500 threadwear rating!

other price i inquired while viewing his stock of tires:
v8rs 205/50/16 v8rs, price rm300++.. didnt inquire further since tekming is cheaper here..
ventus hr2 205/50/16 rm265
ventus hr2 205/55/16 rm270

since it was lunch hour and it was busy time for him.. didnt ask anything else.. his workers dont know much about pricing.. everytime i asked he will go kacau his boss..

looks like i'll be going to tekming before raya..

but what do you guys think of the v2 concept? cheap but AA traction and 500 threadwear.. i was like.. WOW OMG!

hr2 is not listed anymore on hankook website.. obsolete?
while v2 is listed under UHP category.. same as v12 evo.. it should be a better tyre then hr2, i guess.. hopefully any1 who bought the v2 concept could share their personal exp here..

where did you get it? size?

it will effect fc if you use bigger rims which if compared to oem rim, is much heavier.. if you go with branded/ori sports rims then they should be lighter then your oem rims thus maintaining your FC or give slightly better FC..

17" -> profile 55.. should still give you some level of comfort...
18" -> expect minimal comfort levels..

2nd hand tires would be fine for your backup spare as long as they are not more then 3 years old.. check the manufacturing date on the tire wall when purchasing 2nd hand tires..

guys.. is 195/50/16 consider a rare size?
cos i check the tire price list at autoworld and there's only 1 recommendation for this size..

cos earlier batches have AA ratings.. newer ones have A rating for traction only..

speeding and whacking corner with traction class A tires? not a good thing to do bro.. always go for UHP/traction AA tires for your own safety..

17" and rm350? seem abit low on the budget side.. michelins ps3 and bridgestone andrenalin would be priced out.. i would go for hankook evo v12 or kumho ku31..

rawang would be your best bet for cheap price and ready stock.. if too far then can consider tekming in sunway.. i got my evo v12 for my neo at tekming and ku31 for my waja from rawang rim shop branch located on jalan reko, kajang..

jalan reko.. if you are from the highway and take the jalan reko exit.. at the T junction traffic lite.. take a right and heads towards the bus terminal.. kajang sentral if i'm not mistake.. half way there you will see some shop houses on your right.. look for a corner lot tyre shop with big hankook signboard.. cant recall the shop name but it has rawang in it.. kinda like stating they are a branch of one of the big rawang rim shops.. they might not have ready stock but you can order and the tire will be delivered next day..

nope.. here's the location on google map, search 2.966731,101.790367
its pointed on the main road but the shop is actually the inner road beside it.. there's no road in the google map since its a new shoplot area..

anyone know what are my choices for grand vitara tires?
my dad wants to replace the donuts on his ride..

the size is 225/65/17.. quite hard to find this size..

thanks..

anyone using 205/45/16 wanna swap with my 205/50/16?
my tires are kumho ecsta spt, brand new..
PM me if interested or check out my signature - first wts link..

50 series+16" rims on my waja with stock springs = balanced -> comfort+abit of perf..

same thing now installed on my neo with sport springs = too big n heavy for my neo.. lost abit of acceleration.. gain some comfort tho..

i want my perf back.. dont mind a not too comfy ride for my neo..

get a 2nd hand tire from any shop near your place.. they should be better then the one sold in the puchong shop which is suppose to sell imported used tires.. those tires are actually very old tires.. some are as old as manufactured in 2001! those tires look ok at first but after using it for a few weeks, cracks will start to appear on the outer wall.. at higher speeds the tire could explode..

and those old imported 2nd hand tires are not cheap either.. they cost like rm120 a piece which is ridiculous for an old n used tire

i got it for rm240 a piece(195/55/15) after trading in my old donuts at tekming sunway.. your price is ok bro.. go for it..

puchong jaya area.. near brothers got a square open air car park rite? on the opposite site of the carpark got michelin tire shop.. there got nitro..

btw how long was your last fill of nitro? nitro on my ride lasted quite long before needing a check.. once i checked after 6 months (since i last filled them) when i wanted to rotate my tires and the tire pressure was off by 3-4psi only.. it leaks out real slow compared to normal air..

i might let go my tires if anyone wants to get it off me..
hankook evo v12..
195/55/15..
bought it at tekming sunway for 240 a piece..
threads still 80% left!

interested parties can pm me your price, low balling wont be entertained..
selling 4 pieces together..

any1 know where can get kumho ku31 size 205/5X/15?

i am using kumho ecsta spt and hankook evo v12.. both traction AA.. i love them both.. very good dry and wet handling.. well worth the money.. much cheaper then PS3 or adrenalin..

if front loose grip habis laa..
