Hi all,

Going to change my tyres this Saturday at Klang... Called the shop for the price.. 205/40/17 Hankook S1 Evo.. RM 285 per tyre!! So damn cheap compared to the price I bought last year for RM 300 each..

I asked whether there is S1 Evo 2 for sale... He said don't have and never heard of it..

Any shops in PJ / KL / Klang have S1 Evo 2 for sale?

Planning change all 4 tyres if it is RM 285 per tyre..

I have been using S1 Evo for 2 years... Damn good for the price.. The thread is damn "ganas" as well

got 205/45/16 size also, at least since 2009 they already produce this size for S1 evo

any1 know if i could get S1 Evo or Evo V12 in 205/50/16 size?

Asking Sifu here...
can i know what's the more recommended Tyre for Kenari?

hi guys, about time to change my falken ze912 on myvi R14. I like these tires alot compared to the stock NCT5, it gives much better cornering but it does not last long. only able to clock 35k with them.

im doing sales so 1 month have to travel about 1800 - 2300km so i need long lasting/durable tires but do not willing to lose much on performance. dont need fuel saving tires like XM2, unless they are durable. but i find it a bit bouncy on my sister's city.

Hankook V12 or Yokohama Cdrive2 ? or others ? Pls suggest. =)

I just changed to Yokohama C Drive 2 ( 205/55/R16) my comments are..

1) Comfort, very good, I like it, most likely coz it's 55 series

2) Noise, good enough for me

3) Dry grip --- sucks big time, it's the most unstable tire I've ever used, even cheaper stuff can perform better IMHO. Since using it, I'm afraid of most corners, passing heavy vehicles on the highway, uneven road (coz car bounce everywhere)

4) Wet grip --- no chance to drive in rain yet, but judging from the dry grip, it will probably be the most dangerous tires I've ever used in the wet.

Guys, any recommendation for 215/45/17?

i am looking for quiet tires.

someone recommended Yokohama db for 465/pcs

the stock tire is Conti MCS 5 is Great but i think is quite noisy.


would changing to a higher series be more quiet? like 50 or 55 series?

Thanks

any recommended for 225/45/18 ?

dear sifus, i need some advise, my tyre went flat yesterday and i found some crack in tread nearest to the sidewall (50 cent size), the pomen said just tampal, i'm not really sure what he meant because he also said he couldn't do anything about the crack...i think maybe tampal the bocor and the crack still be there...rite?...the thing is i have a long trip tomorrow, should i be worried about the crack and better change for the new one today?the age of my tyres is 3 years and 5 months...already in warga emas age for tyre rite?it's ventus hr 2...

got pics ?? otherwise maybe wrong advise you get since we all cannot see for ourselves.

I think your tire guy will "tampal" the inner side of the tire to reinforce it and plug any leaks you have around the tire.

Someone please help me... i need to replace my tyre, size is 165/60/R14. May i know where's the shop got this size for my Hyundai i10 (Except Goodyear) . I'm from Selayang . Thank you!!

Good day Sifus,

Im looking for 225/4/R18 inch tyres which comes with excellent comfort+silent features. So far the recommendation I gotten from the tyre shop are Michelin PS3 and Dunlop Veuro VE302. Continental is out of my budget though pricing nearly RM1k per piece.

Would need some guidance from you guys. Many thanks!

if not mistaken 60 series hard to get. Why not change to 55 series, more choices.

Can anyone comment on Honda Accord year 2010 tyre? Need to change already, friend suggest to use Kumho and Pirelli... Which is better? Anywhere can get cheap tyre for this two brand?

I have 4 pcs Asymmetric 2 225/40/18 for sell.. Used less than 1 week... See if you interested.

i have full set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric2
size 225 45 R17
used 2k km only
1 month old.
4911 manufacturing date.
95% tread or more.

im looking to swap to CSC3/Ps3/CSC2/RE050/CSC5 used less than 5k km.. i prefer harder tires for high speed driving.

PM me.

As what I have been thinking which one to buy on previous post, I have decided to go for Directional 5 instead of MaxContact 5 as I wanna try UHP tire. Here is what I have feel so far

This feedback is based on Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 - 195/50/R16 VS GoodYear Eagle F1 Directional 5 - 205/50/R16

1. More comfort and quiet, the yellow line on road, cracked tar road, and uneven road, just feel it has been soften and less harsh. Maybe it is still new? GF felt it too, plus point
3. Better high speed corner, tried on a long bend on highway, usually go with around 120km/h as quite much rolling for me to go further, max 130km/h I guess? But this time I go 140km/h, significant less rolling and I have the confident to go further!
4. Thread design is cool
5. Steering response is much better, it goes where I point it to go
6. Accleration sucks. I tried to weight the tire with my hands, definitely heavier than conti, now have to suck it up with poor FC and acceleration I guess

Price? You can get it for RM350 for this size around klang

Others like wet condition are yet to be tested. Will post my feedback on wet soon

Thanks for reading

Hi sifus,

time to change my tyres. Went around asking for Hankook's tyres, i use V12 previously and i love it so i plan to change to Hankook as well...

but then the same shop is asking me to change to V2 and claim it is better without much noise compared to V12.... V12 appears to be more expensive a bit... about RM250 and V2 is about RM225... (price quoted from different shop though)....

i think my tyres is 15 inch...195.....

Any comments on V2 vs V12? As in, V2 indeed is the cheaper version, but better?

Thanks!

V2 got 500 thread-wear rating while V12 got 280 thread-wear rating.
If you want to save money, get the V2, but for more grip, V12.

treadwear 500??? the tyres are going to last like forever???
