If I stick to manufacturing recommendation 185/55R15 then I can only use Michelin XM2. I went to Michelin's website, XM2 is for:-
- better mileage
- fuel saving (of course la, better mileage mar)
- safety

It says nothing about quiet, only Primacy LC is stated as quiet. How noisy is XM2? How to decide?

Thanks... XM2 la. Cos I want to use back 185/55R15

Thanks. I'm sure it is better than Silverstone M5. I don't do too much driving. One year only clock in around 16,000km. So XM2 should be nice.

Today's prices, but difficult to get. Need to bargain hard, but luckily the lady in the shop have patient. Otherwise maybe cannot get. But I believe can get RM220, cos I made mistake walk in say want RM220. If I say RM210, maybe can get.

XM2, 185/55R15 - All in including rubber vavle = RM225 x 4 donuts, cash. Mastercard = +2%. HQ is at MK, so need to wait for a while for them to deliver stocks over to Bdr Baru Sg Buloh.

GR Racing Tyre & Services Sdn Bhd
Jalan BRP 1/6A
Near to The Store.

They make phone call, then told me price is 240. Then i say expensive... so she take calculator and punch for me RM235. Best already. Then after 15 minutes, she call HQ some more, then only say rugi for me, ok take it RM225, last. So I say add in rubber vavle then I on, pay deposit now.

OK, got it fixed. Feels very grippy. New tyre.... sure happy driving it. Tomorrow go longer distance drive to test it out. But surprisingly, 15 inch tyre but only 2 longkang ler. Hopefully it will still do well on wet conditions.

But the shop immediately show me need to fix chamber screws after install the wheels. But I reject. I am using Alza. Need chamber screws?

They show me the computer screen, sway to right. But I say no need. I heard someone mentioned Alza no need chamber screws.

I went and search for the post i read from one of the forummers. Here is the link:-

I quote from his post:
***DO NOT LET THOSE GUY TO ADD CHAMBER SCREW TO IT, NO SUCH THING THAT CHAMBER RUN CAUSE JAPANESE ENGINEER NEVER USE IT AT THE WHEEL!!!***

So which is it? Need to adjust chamber screws or there is no such thing in Alza?

Are there special tyres for vans? I'm referring to a cargo van, Nissan Vanette c22.

Anyone got price for 175R13, van or light truck use. Thanks.
