should be quieter. no idea on trade in though

Just changed 4 pairs of 215/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY2 on my civic FD2. RM440 each. Very satsified with the tyre grip, wet and dry plus now my ride appear more silent than before. i would say better than my michelin precada that came in with the car previously.

Any of you have any idea how new tyre depreciates in value over time?

I was quoted RM295 for 205/60r16 CC5 year 2010.

I went to the other shop and paid RM320 for year 2012.

Hi all, i just did tyres rotation, balancing & alignment, the problem was after did the service, noisy sound appeared on my tyre...every time drive more than 60km/h or slowing down to rest the "wong wong wong" sound will audible, may i know what was the prob occurred? TQ

Could it be your wheel bearing instead?

Wong wong wong sound is ussually from wheel bearing

wheel bearing problem usually associated with whining sound regardless of the traveling speed. but it will be more obvious at 30km/h and above.
check the tires' tread for uneven wear.
make sure the wheel balancing done and nuts are locked properly.

btw, quite a number of the tires' shop that i've had come across with electronic alignment actually doesn't do the job properly. they simply hook it up for the lulz, pretending they're doing something and bingo! even when the monitor is still showing 0.25 left and 0.65 right!
this is especially when they're busy with lots of car waiting.

maybe the rear tire makan uneven and they swap to the front , make the sound more obvious
otherwise is wheel bearing sound

yeah...i asked the mechanic "Hey, u still haven't alligned it accordingly" and he said "it's like that"
are there any shops that can do proper allignment?

i plan to change 185/65/R15 michelin xm2 for the new honda city ivtec S spec one...
can anyone give some advise on its good and bad please?
really appreciate it...

not sure about shah alam but for kl area, you can refer to nestum. he replied to your
question as well.
as for myself, there is this manual alignment in balakong (opposite jusco cheras selatan) which
do a fantastic job.

xm2 is one of the value for money tires around. depending on your driving style.
it does fit into quiet and comfort category.

will it get bumpy?how much the market value for time being?

very good price i would say.

where did you purchase your tyres from?

I just changed My Both Front Tires to Bridgestone Turanza GR90 , and then swap the old front tires to the rear which is Michelin XM1.

Today, I turn the corner around 30KM/H - 50KM/H on wet concrete surface , and the whole car slip.

Is it also happens with the High Performance Tire too ? Or I need to change the new tire to the rear ?

can i assume your car is oversteering? if yes, and you want to prevent that, put your new tires on the rear

Ya , is oversteering.

In My Mind, I already plan to changing the new tire to rear . I might change it by myself

experts recommend that new tires should always go on the back.
however, 30 - 50 km on a wet CONCRETE surface. sorry bro, did you mean asphalt concrete or cement/concrete floor (as found in shopping mall carparks)?

I agree that what experts said is true



The normal cement concrete floor that we normally saw in shopping mall

That one even 30km/h ABS also kicking like shyt when it is wet
