Bro, ur profile too low... thus with using BLM.... i believe ur current tyre doesn't give u much comfort . Just like my own brother, doesn't listen, then regret.


185/55/15 would be a good choice for BLM size, otherwise 195/55r15 would be too heavy for ur car.

Ride harshness still ok for me la. Coz never lowered the ride.

Was thinking 195/55 or 185/55. Any nice tyre with low noise & grippy?

185/55/15. 195/55/15 will rub the inner sidewall on full load due to softer stock suspension. higher fc and further braking distance.
ze912 or ps3 is decent.

U mean the higher profile tyre will touch the inner wall when steering full turn? Did the 185/55 will scratch the rear fender also? But i have rolled the fender wo.

imho, yngwie was mentioning using 195/55/15 will cause the tyre rubbing especially when carrying full passengers or full with luggage / stuff because of
1. thicker profile than 185/55
2. soft / comfort stock / oem suspension

but the saga flx 1.6 is already running on stock 195/50R15 rubbers right? perhaps could consider this size too, no?

overall diameter for:
stock 186/60R14 = 577.59 mm
185/55R15 = 584.45 mm (+1.19%)
195/50R15 = 575.81 mm (-0.31%)
195/55R15 = 584.45 mm (+3.08%)

Rite. The 195/55/R15 many BLM user said will scratch the inner part.

Now is considering the 185/55/R15 for the next change.

Asked the Michelin authorise dealer, PS3 @ RM 260 & XM2 @ RM250. All with installation, balancing, allignment & tyre valve.

Now hunting for C.Drive 2 price also. Any comment bout tis tyre? NVH? Grip?

NVH is among the best comparable with continental's cc5

grip on dry is pretty good, whack the car all day erry day.

wet is decent too though not as good as competitors considering it is a comfort/low NVH based tire. that said, i've driven on heavy rain on MEX highway straight line for over 170 km/h. (kids please do NOT try this yourself)

Wat size r u using?

Price?

195/55/15 c drive 2.
~220-230 or so per tire iinm (quite some time already)

Pretty good price.

But just now i asked few dealer bout the C.Drive 2 185/55R15. They said C.Drive 2 dun have tis size?

uncommon sizes hard to find. perhaps can pm kent aka nestum (LYN ID) in this forum

Alrite. Will try to find more to compare.

Hey guys, can anyone recommend which tires shop in Rawang that offers good workmanship in tire rotation/balancing/alignment ?

As I know tires shop in Rawang selling good pricing tires but how about the workmanship ?

Need a good SIFU for my car's balancing and alignment. Felt vibration on my steering wheel recently. Is really annoying.

Thanks!

Running on the same tyres & size. rm230/pcs incld balancing & alignment
IMO the noise is worse than its predecessor C drive which is more silent.

never had the old c drive so can't comment. however from most feedback c drive 2 is much quieter than old c drive which makes your comment rather surprising.

of course this does come with a downside which is worsened treadwear

i was surprised as well. Maybe my expectation is high but it seems the noise level in Cdrive 2 is not that good considering last time I was using 195/50 which is lower profile.

195/50/15 should be okay on blm with stock suspension setup.
and since the stock suspension is on the soft side, changing to thinner sidewall should not affect the comfort so much. the handling improvement can compensate the different.
btw, by looking at the tread's depth / grooves, tires experts could tell that c.drive2 isn't the quieter tires around.
wet handling may increased over the older c.drive but it can be noisy at high speed.

So, wat tyre will u recommend with 185/55/R15?

I was planning to lowered my ride with the higher profile tyre. So tat the comfort level will not b too rough.

ps3 or xm2 should have the size. lowered blm should sit on profile 50 max. else, its a same tire rubbing cases.
avoid silverstone synergy or nct5.

HI, any1 here used COnti MC5 ?? what is the feedback on it? couldn't find any review on it... i was recomended by the shop for my 16" FD1(RM360/pcs). my main priority is COMFORT + QUITE. kindly advice.
