how many mileage used?

is 195/50R15 CC5 at RM215 expensive.. ? asked about trading in the stock M5 tyres and quoted RM 70 per tyre.. not sure it's worth trading in or not.. mileage is below 500 km.. any experts able to share their thoughts.. ?

Take some pictures of the tyre. I might be able to hook you up.

i buy at this price, average price...probably can get lowered. i change my tyre for rm150 for 4 tires, cloak at 38000km. m5 tires are not so popular, so resell value is cheapss.

My mileage 18K and Michelin tyre shop quote me RM230 for M2/piece trade in RM100+ for 4 silverstone ...

this boss really want to chop me (i mean his look, the way he look at me) so I pretend like very interested then walk away

yes, some tyre shops offer ridiculous trade-in price.
when I got my car, 1st shop I went, a michelin tyreshop in Ipoh, doesn' t want my silverstone M5 eventhough it is only <1hr on the road. quoted me Michelin XM2 RM260/piece (alza tyre size)

so went to 2nd shop, willing take my 4 biji silverstones for RM400.
he got no XM2, but got PS3 RM270/piece
so settle for Conti CC5, RM210/piece only.

if I am driving a 1.5 Myvi SXi then maybe will take PS3.
prefer quiet and comfy tyres for family oriented alza.

XM5 for comfy overall good review from others.

Conti CC5 how ? raining day cornering ok??

so far tested cc5 on highway under extreme heavy rain.
hit puddle of water handling still good, car doesn' t feel like "buang" or aqua planing
as for connering cant comment, drive gently, family car.

stock alza wth cc5 noise level pretty comfortable to me.
but that' s me, maybe my noise requirement very low.

PS3 270 a piece...? Was there a price increase recently....?

I've got mine for 230 a piece only 4 months ago... and was also quoted 220 for XM2, so I took the PS3 since I hate braking on corners...

maybe ipoh price not so competitive or that shop trying to slaughter me.
luckily I went for cc5.
imagine if I had bought ps3 at RM270 and now you telling me RM230 only.

wht your size for ps3? at tht rm270 per piece.

ya.... must mention size of tyre with price, otherwise can get very confusing.

anyway, rubber price is always fluctuating. i think there is more rain this year, so price of rubber should go up because harvest is less. also china stock up a lot of rubber each year, that drives rubber prices up too. luckily gloves industry now uses less rubber because synthetic rubber market / demand is increasing year after year, also with the help of lower / more competitive synthetic rubber prices. but china alone, imagine their need for shoes, tyres, gloves, tubes, and other rubber products... millions of it. Then we have India, Brazil... although rubber trees came from Brazil, but nowadays Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia produces the most rubber in the world.

yo people,
i am referring to alza standard size 185/55,15"

the tyreshop is behind tesco/jusco ipoh, there is old town white coffee shop on the same row.
there are 3 tyreshops behind/near jusco ipoh, michelin (exactly behind jusco), wengcheong(falken) and the one above.
don' t remember what signboard the shop has, i think it is simetyre signboard.

well.. this is my tyre current condition..

bro.. PM me the price you are willing to offer.. which part of sg buloh eh.. ?

Hmm.... got feedback. M5 in low "depression" now. Not many customers interested in M5, that's the reason for the low price. Now for lower price range, there are many brands and quality, from nearby Indon and Thai brands, also from far China and Korea.

I guess it says a lot about local companies, which supposed to have lower setup cost, lower transport cost, lower material cost, but after add in their CEO cost, management cost, annual dinner cost, travelling cost, company car cost, luxury escape cost, hamper and gifts cost, other hidden cost... malaysian products becomes more expensive than imports!!

No wonder my car cost so much, my house cost much more!!

Hd change boot lockset FOC, stil under waranty. SC next to jaya 1.
about the roof noise, they make an order fr HQ for the parts/isnulation.
it is free & consider defect waranty.
