yea tat is his shop...

no lah. the water is very minor. i go through a 100m stretch of flood only a bit of water sprinkle only. the water height is so high that time i tot the car will have water enter but suprisingly only my leg kena sprinkled by water thats all.

me second
hope the road noise is better than Kumho

Yup, go back at 10.30pm but saw the cars after toll plaza were jam. Pusing balik before toll and go back watch football.
Only at 12.50 am baru balik KL.

nestum tyre sales

they say neuton nt8000 better than kumho.

Okay, call me a noob but I just found out Neuton NT8000 doesn't have the stock size (195/60/15). Seeing as all 4 of my tyres are stock size and I'm only changing 2 of them, I wouldn't wanna risk running different size tyres on my car.

I see some persona users have changed the stock tyre to 195/55/15 instead. Are there a lot of differences between the 195/60/15 and 195/55/15?

Now my options are either:

1. Change all 4 tyres

2. Grab another brand with the stock size

Some advice would be much appreciated My knowledge about cars is very limited.

Thank you very much in advance.

Same width, different thickness.
Can change to 195/55R15 as some member here such as junhowe and mosh. Only thing is the gap between the top of tyre and the wheel arch will be bigger
since it is smaller thickness than 195/60R15.

that's correct.
if u richfag, change all 4 tyres.
if u poorfag, grab another brand with the stock size, change 2 tyres first. take out the front one. take the back tyres to the front. then install new tyres at back. later on, change the front tyres lah.

thats what i realised too. but, IINM, they had stocked in new size which is our tyre size. should go ask.

hahaha~~
lol. give me one more year. until my tyre wear out XD
had been driving aggressively to make it wear out. but somehow, the kumho seems to be very good in receiving abuse.

change 2 first, then 5-6 month change another 2. diff what.

I'm not very worried about visuals. But what about in terms of comfort and stability (grip)?

I'm definitely poorfag. Hahah. Btw, I thought normally new tyres are installed at the front?

I just texted Nestum and he said NT8000 does not have that size =(

install new tyres at front first nanti cepat haus ma.

Bro, ask those fellas with the tyres size leh.
New tyres put at back since if anything happen you can still control the front tyres with your steering. Your back tyres how to control?

Changing our stock size 195/60/R15 to 195/55/R15 is a big no no. Main reason is the size difference exceeded 3% guideline of tyre diameter size difference that might cause failure to your braking system. Practically all tyre experts advise against it. But some still goes for it....if nothing happens, then all its goods but the risk of failure supposedly increased exponentially once exceeded this limit....unless they mod their braking system as well.

I assume you're satisfied with current size (for me it has the perfect balance of comfort and good non aggressive performance) on stock suspension. If yes, I would advise using back the same tyre size albeit having very limited choice in tyres. Also anything above 55 is considered non performance tyre, so my initial choice of PS3, V12, Neuton etc all can baling longkang liao. If want those good tyres....change the size....205/55/R15 will be a good bet at 1.4% difference if you want to stay on 15"...

Do note lowering the height 60 to 55 will decrease the comfort level, more bumpiness. Grip will be better due to wider tyres but more makan minyak since more road contact.

I'm leaning towards Yokohama C-Drive 2 for stock size although it has louder noise issue in its later life but wet and drive performance has no complain so far by the users. Michelin XM2 is ok but pricey tho. CC5......not so great nowadays compared with the other 2. So thats abt the only good choice you have if you stay with stock.

Added on November 28, 2012, 4:10 pmActually that is not the best reason to give him on putting new tyres at back.

Have explained b4 thats its for safety reason. Front old tyres less grip, less feeling of new tyres BUT we can control thru steering if lose grip. Rear tyres if lose grip, can buang wan....unless you're an expert driver with split second drive skills response, then can recover.

Having new good grip in front will cause false "feeling" of better grip while IGNORING the fact that the old rear tyres does not have as good a grip as the front new tyres, you will tend to corner faster, run faster and end up tail will buang at times....

Do note front less grip also can buang but we can still control steering to readjust back, rear buang.....there is no control at all. So new tyres goest to rear, old tyres goes to front as recommended BY ALL reputable tyres manufacturer.

Haha. Sorry . I thought you changed the stock tyre size as well. Well, you have a point about the new tyres being at the rear.

But what about emergency break and acceleration performance? Would the front tyres do better?

Thank you very much for your explanation!

I definitely won't be changing the stock size then.

Based on what you've said I guess I will go for the Yokohama C-Drive 2 then. On a sidenote, is the higher price for the Michelin XM2 worth the additional benefits that come with the tyre? (I assume there are additional benefits if I'm paying extra right?) haha.

you said u poorfag meh?

Didn't know changing 60 profiles tires to 55 profiles can cause braking failure
Had the plan to change two tires to 55 profiles 1st then all to 55 profiles when the current stock tires worn out.
That's what my dad did to my sister's car btw. From 65 profiles to 60 profiles
