hi...i hv a question here...
i planning to change the tyre for my honda city, spec: 175/65R15....
but this spec very odd...so the workshop suggested to change to a more common spec....like 185 or 195...
and i wondering....if i change ...means i need to change 5 tyres, right? including the spare tyre....
pls correct me if i m wrong....tks...

XM2 is ok. Grip isn't great, depends on how you drive. Fc is good, it is comfortable and quiet. If those are your priorities and you drive slowly then it is a good choice. Should also last long. Didn't experience grip problems in the wet (never tried hard enough), only in the dry when braking very hard.

Yes. But no need to change all 5 at the same time, since spare is rarely used and only used for short time only, u can choose to put 2ndhand tyres on ur spare. Or u cn change all 4 first and change the spare later on.

Thanks bro. May I know among the Achilles ATR Sport, Kumho KU31 and Nexen N6000, which one has better performance in wet weather, and not so noisy?

Also any other good tyres at around RM250+/- for 205/50R16 size?

Thanks

Bro go for Michelin Super Sports, just got mine changed ... superB as compared to Bridgestone Re050 i am previously using.

i think ur spare tire are besi rim....not sport rim
got check it
btw...u no need to change 5pcs

PSS minimum 18" , start from 225/40/18

Ya bro didnt notice it .... PSS is minimum 18" let me recheck... my tyre man

Ive tried kumho before, now im on atr sport. Nexen i havent try yet. In wet i think kumho hav less grip then achilles. Noise wise, both become noisy when wore off.

Bro I did check out my car just now its indeed 17" 225 /45 / 17 " for front and 245 / 45 / 17" for rear.

If you were to look at the website below, Michelin does manufacturer 17" version.


17" Michelin

I recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, Porche 911 2012 official tyre. Average price but very good performance(dry/wet) & comfort too. Ban Hooi Klang price RM500+ starting 225/45/17.

need advise from all pros here..
car: myVi stock rims.
stick back to stock size? 175/65 R14?
or 185/60 R14??

-max speed =<130 sunny day (dry)
-looking something can reduce my FC.
-planning to get michelin xm2, can goodyear assurance fit into my stock rims??

Reduce FC go for skinny tires. Driving on 155 XM2 and you won't consume at all, lol. It's might get a bit dangerous though. Think stock size should be fine. Beware though that grip isn't the XM2's strong point, and going for skinnier tires won't help. I'm driving on 185/60 R14, and got the ABS to kick in when braking hard (not very hard though). In the dry. That is _not_ a good sign.

But if you drive carefully, yeah, why not.

Hi Guys,

any idea what is the current price for Michelin PS3 n Primacy LC on 195/55/r15?? Thanks

Anybody have the pricing for maxxis ipro 15" and 16" tires?

grip good..traction AA..but front tyres wear faster..

ya.. i know.. i will be getting my waja next week. the tires botak ady.. currently on 16". dunno wan to switch back 15" for cheaper tires or not.. if maxxis 16" price ok maybe stick with it..

BTW how much pressure u guys pump normally? I pumped my new tire with 240kpa but seem still inflate.

How bout goodyear assurance?? same like xm2?? read few pages back found out the feedback of the xm2 really bit dangerous >< any other series tyre suit me?

Car: MyVi
Stock rims
max speed <130
budget <RM700

The tyre shop offer me continental CSC3. Good? They don't have Goodyear in stock unless I go to kiang.

Conti CSC3 good, some owner mentioned better than latest CSC5 & same performance with G/year Asymm2 but this tyre wear fast if put front. The Goodyear Assym2 can last nearly twice compare with CSC3. Last year my officemate bought Peugeot 308 come with this CSC3 tyre & only last 6-8 months, he change with same tyre at service center, very expensive but the new tyre blow(koyak) at highway hit small rock at speed 140kmh. Now he happy with Goodyear Asymm2 at 1/2 price. He said cheap, very good grip & comfort/silent too.
