SUV. not necesarily need SUV tyres, passenger cars tyres will do the job

bro, SUV need a tyre that can support SUV load. normal passenger tyre might not have able to sustain the load of your SUV.

better to check your SUV original load index requirement is how much, then when change tyre look for same or higher load index

Hi all sifus ...
May i ask what is the recommended tyre size for perdana v6? Im using 205/45/17 now but have to repair my rims like once every 2-3 months 😠😠😠

Can i change to 205/50/17 or 215/50/17?
Tqtq

205/45/17 is too small compare to your original sizes. You should be using 215/45/17. 205/50/17 also can but I think difficult to find this size.

You also can use 225/45/17. Much nearer to your original tyre diameter. Its sidewall also higher than 215/45/17.

Thank you xxboxx for your reply. I would prefer 205/50/17 then. I worry 225/45/17 will look so weird and i prefer to use 50 because i wont be repairing the rims maybe 😅.
Maybe 215/50/17? Can?
*
Can't, the diameter too big.

Just stay with 205/50/17 then, it is almost same diameter with your original size.

Look for 205/50/16, nearer to your original tyre diameter.

Hi All,

Hope some nice guys can give me some advises... and thanks a mill in advance...

I am going to change 4pcs tyres soon for 17".  I am doing sales, everyday running 100-200km...

I am looking for tyres with below in below priority.
1. Must be comfort as I spend ard 4hrs in car everyday.
2. Must be quiet, i dont turn on radio.. just wanna keep moment of silence.
3. Durable ... can last me ard 80km if possible .. i always bal+allig every 10k km...

My current Goodyear was horrible on noise but very durable, I have been running 90k on them and still ard 10% left....

Was thinking Toyo... then came across Yokohama as well... are these 2 Japs any significant diff?

Cheers and Thanks ..........

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 looks interesting. Comfort biased, high threadwear rating (500), and not too expensive.

I found out that two of my Michelin XM2 tires (front wheel) having crack lines.
These two tires purchase at same time and having same manufacturing dates.

Is it normal due to wear and tear or can I claim warranty?

Hi, may I ask anyone know what is the market price for hankook venture 2 concept 2?
I was trade in my 4tyre, all bridgestone. Two used 1year 7mm thick another two used 2 months 9mm thick.
They charge me RM440 for the Tyre. But I realise Hankook was relatively cheap.
*
How you know how many mm balance of your tyre?
New tyre for sedan also not until 9mm

My rear tire had punctured and fixed with a rubber plug before. Is it safe to rotate the wheel (front-rear rotate)?

How's the tire rot? The worker in a tire shop said it's fine.

you still using those tyre? the cracks looks very bad already, if got budget better to change it.
If you still using it and then assuming another 2 pieces tyre is in better condition, then put the 2 worse tyre at the front.

hi, just recently went to tire shop ,
the mechanic said my front tire so bad already, he did an alignment and change that front tire to rear
he said i need to change it since the condition already bad, maybe can use at least 3 more months,

tire was silverstone brand as it come as stock tire for proton persona

user posted image

and i know it was my own mistake since i not really monitor the tire condition,
mechanic said that i need to check and make sure the pressure of the tire in good condition, at least 2 weeks need to routine check for pressure
cry.gif

but what i've already done?
since i use that car about 1 and half year and the millage just about 22000 KM only, i did not check the tire pressure on my own,
only let SC to do and check the tire pressure during services.

Since the shop already move the tyre to rear, it's ok lar still can use. Only 1 tyre is like this? Just be careful when raining time. Don't drive fast as that tyre can't cut water properly.

thanks for reply,

both tyre at front but at right side that most affected,
this kind of thing happen when tire low air pressure or what are the cause?
*
One side worn out faster (in 1 tyre) is due to alignment issue. Do you do frequent tyre alignment?

You also need to do tyre balancing and rotation when do alignment so that the tyre can last longer.

Looks like tyre shoulder.
The usual patching. There's some black stuff being pasted on it
*
If shoulder then must see properly still within thread or already on sidewall.

You mean the patching that they stick the black stuff from outside and push into the puncture area? That is actually only temporary solution, long term usage will damage the tyre. You need to ask them patch from inside method, they need to take out the tyre from rim and patch with a round rubber. More expensive about RM20 but the tyre will last longer.

There's no date to say how long can it last, depends on what the tyre have to go through now.
If the tyre does not in contact with water the it might last longer.

oh, come one.. do you guys know how dangerous is it to use bald tyre? some more until can see the steel belts?? sweat.gif
below the threadwear indicator, the rubber compound is hard type, not sticky type like the thread rubber.
using bald tyre even on dry road will not give same amount of grip compare to tyre with remaining thread.

Just noticed I reply wrongly, I thought you are the one with punctured tyre.
Just use your tyre until reach the threadwear indicator. the cuts, if it is not deep then still can use, if deep then better change it.
Or if you got budget, just change 2 tyre first.

Anyone tried replacing with used tyres before?

My persona front tyres are gone case. Left side lost 10PSI per day and right side lost 20PSI per day due to multiple puncture + cracks.

Gonna change them end of this month. Ask my mechanic and he asked me if I want to try those used tyre taken out from car used only for shows one. Approx RM150 per piece. CC5 cost RM240 now wink.gif
*
What do you mean used tyre for show one? Showroom car's tyre?
Then better avoid it like plague.
Those car spend most of the time not moving for months, end up the steel belt inside the tyre will deform, and now the tyre is not perfectly round anymore. Sidewall cracking also prone to happen for such tyre because loss of air pressure over the time.

For Persona the tyre not expensive, you still using 195/60R15 right?
Survey around, most mid range brands can get around 160-190 per tyre.
