have you tried the tires before? good ? quiet?

Bro..Just changed all my 4 donuts and rims at Kedai Papan Klang.. Planned to change to NT8000 but due to no stock, I have to make do with the NT5000. 215/50R17, RM230/pc for both series.
The rim is enkei replica i guess but the boss highly recommend.. RM1550/set. The tires price are good but the rim seemed to be overpriced since original set around 1900/set.  Only know it's just few hundreds difference after i checked thru' the net.

bought Achilles ATR Sport 195/60 R15 last two month...price RM180/pc....better you call them first and ask for stock for your tyre...

Any good recommendations for 205/50 R16 tyres? From the price list, here are some options:

Archilles ATR Sport - RM200 - PTS Setapak (Feb'12)
Goodyear F1 Directional 5 - RM390 Quicksave USJ (Sep 11)
Kumho KU31 - RM275 (take 4 pcs price RM250/pcs) - YL Auto Putra Height (Feb'12)
Michelin PS3 - RM455 Modern Tyres, Seremban Jaya (Dec 11)
Nexen N6000 - RM288 Quicksave, Metal Valve RM 10/pcs, FOC Alignment n Balancing (Jul 11)
Yokohama A-drive - RM230 - Nuex Garage (Feb'12)

Is it worth to go for the GY F1 or PS3? Or those RM200++ ones are good enough already? My current tyres are Silverstone Kruizer NS500. I'm looking for something similar or slightly better than the current one.

Thanks

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...

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

Hi guys, i am finding a set of tyres for my kancil... If i use 165 65 R13 for my kancil, is it ok?  more contact = more drag?

thanks bro, by the way, wat do u think of this rims ?

iinm, it's 17"  I love big rims, but hav to balance with the handling and the performance rite? will it be too heavy for a na kancil to hav such a big rims?

[attachmentid=2928987]

a question here, rims too big will hit the fender? 

all rite bro... will use 13" then.. 13" plus wide tyre will be better rite? i guess 165 55 R13.. can? wider one~

actually i realise the stock rim at my kancil 660cc is 12" if i not mistaken, wat say if i upgrade to 13" sports rim with 165/60/r13.. will it be good at looking and handling? i am looking for 5 spokes rim~

[attachmentid=2929872]

something like tat... i prefer wide tyres.. golden chrome rims~

i found some thing abt camber, i saw a kancil with - camber for rear...   looks attractive....

hi, i hope i can ask this question here.. what is the thing called - its like the nut which locks our tyre's car so that ppl cant steal the tyre?

what is that thing called and how much would it cost? does it cost the same for all tyre sizes (specifically for suzuki swift)?

how soon do the dmg comes? i mean how many mileage? Hmmm.. i wish to do -camber for rear side.. XD.. looks cool...    need special suspension? 

hmmmm. sigh... haha okay. thanks anyway because -camber really looks good for me XD  

Is not a good tyre for me. I am using 195/55/15 XM2 on my waja, not good in dry nor wet... it doesn't grip. I remember one drizziling night, and I was going down very slowly on a slope in a open space parking lot, when I hit the break, I can hear the tyre skid and still moving all the way down the slop. Luckyly the car infront is moving, if not I would have bang the car which I can't do anything at all to avoid.

On dry, when I drive fast on corner, I can hear the tyre skiding sound..."eeeee" . To me, not recommended to use XM2.

Recently bought the XM2 (after lots of positive feedback here... and now it's very negative. Great, thanks guys ). FC seems to have dropped by 1-2l/100 km, but this is only the first refill (on the other hand I never, ever got below 10l/100km, usually 11-12, and now it is 9? I did drive faster than usual, normally I only get up to 90-100 cause someone is blocking the way, but in the past few days roads have been clearer so I could drive 110-130.) The tyre is also pretty quiet.

On the other hand I had to brake hard today (almost missed an exit), and the ABS kicked in. In the dry! The first time the ABS got work, ever. That is a bit scary. I slowed down in time, but the G forces didn't feel that high.

In a review in Russia the XM2 did perform pretty bad, while another Michelin Energy Saver or so was on top. I thought that was because the XM2 is probably designed for SE Asian weather and doesn't perform that well when it's cold, but... oh well, it doesn't seem to grip that well even when it's hot (my previous ER60 were better, but then again those were semi slicks In the wet a bit scary...).

Is there actually a better option for 185/60 R14? PS3 is for bigger tyres only. (But I'm stuck with the XM2 for a while, not economic to change them so soon).
