yau yip ada !

i used mich xm2 14"..for me gripping in wet is very good however for noise after certain milage..its quite bad especially with no sound proofing on saga..

My whitey masuk kilang for 2 days

I'm on 14" XM2s with everything else stock.

Well, please bear in mind that I can only compare the Michelins to the stock Silverstone M3s. And we all know there is nothing on god's green earth worse than Silverstone M3s.

Anyways, I love the XM2s. The wet grip is so much better. You just get so much more confidence in the wet compared to the old tires. Of course, don't expect the car to stick to the road like a leech in the wet. They basically give me just enough confidence to drive comfortably in the wet. E.g. I don't feel paranoid about sliding to my death down a ravine or something

In terms of noise, they're much quieter as well, but then, at that time, I was comparing old, lousy tires to new, better tires. There's still some noise, especially travelling on highways.

Hope the above helps ..

really quieter?maybe for first 10000km milage..and i agree with you when travelling on highways..the noise produced is quite bad..but the tires is so comfy and grip well..tats why i loved it..maybe if i install some sound proofing on fender and tires arch..the noise is reduce..huhu

berapa cost? kena budget lar bro...

at net got one taiwan apexi open pod 3" with adapter - RM55

You have to remember, the only back to back comparison I had a chance to make was to compare the old Silverstone vs the new Michelins. So yes it really was quieter.

Actually I plan to do exactly that as well. Soundproof the damn car. lol.


Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, if I remember correctly, when I switched over from my old Kelisa (with old Silverstone M3s) to the Saga (with new Silverstone M3s), I already immediately felt the noise in the Saga was really quite bad.

guys~~~
just need an opinion...what kind of security ur using for your car?

need a few reco cause im thinking of changing it.

I installed brake pedal locks.

thinking of new alarm la...
hehehe....

where do you get it done? i mean your brake pedal locks?

U dint come to TT, then you left early on Sat, that's why you dunno. Got buzzing sound when driving at 2.1k RPM and higher.

Not sure about the problem yet, will update when I get back my car and hopefully the problem solved. Also notified them to replace my drumbrakes (AGAIN!!) and left headlamp (masuk air)

what happen bro?
is it bcoz of the drum brake?

I'm back from hell! So as my Pale *******. Both of us suffered heavy tension test over the weekend! To have full cars of fat dude like me in the poor BLM rushing all over Karak hiway+Genting is a true punish to ma car anyway, clutch no slip, brake was seriusly worn out.

Was thinking of drop by Yau Yip today, prolly tomorrow also. Anybody go there?

sory.. double post.....

dont so mad lar bro... family priority mar ... next time TT SURE 100% will come, if not V12K, U and & Kenji will bash me kao kao...

buzzing sound ar...

Nope. The drumbrake wasn't the main problem, I just ask them to replace it since my car will be there for a while.

While we're on the topic of the drumbrake, I realize that if the tak tak tak sound rears it's ugly face, I'll just have to press the brakes hard (while the car is stationary) or pull-release the handbrake, then the sound will go away

u go there will probably saw V12K, Kenji or Mahihi~!
