There is no way the 16" primacy hp gonna cost 1.3k

that must be run flat tyres i guess

PSS is godly tires.....the only other tires able to match with it is....the legendary PS2.....better in the dry...but wet a bit slippery...and they dun last long too......conti CSC3 not so good..CSC5 more for comfort.....Goodyear quality is unpredictable...if you wanna gamble....GY F1A2

Always look for XL (extra load) version for stiffer sidewall great for fast driving

Many international reviews actually place Assy 2 higher than PSS. Assy 2 has better wet braking compared to PSS im told. But a 235-45-18 Assy 2 tyre only costs about 900 while a PSS of a similar size costs between 1100-1250 depending on the shop. Thats a good 200-350 difference per tyre.

But ive never heard about tyres being worn after only 10k mileage. Even if you practice hard braking and cornering, it shouldnt wear so fast.

Are u sure about the pricing? Something doesnt sound right. A Michelin PSS 225-45-18 costs RM 1090 at Tyrezone Taman Megah while Lim Tayar TTDI charges RM 1250. Both are before nego prices.

How then could a 16inch Primacy HP cost more? Doesnt make sense.

umm...i just found that price tag from michelin website..
yes indeed usually the website price tag is much more high than normal shop..

according to the michelin web, PSS 225-45-18 cost at RM1189...so i think the price tag (fro the website) for primacy hp is true? or michelin wrong type? im wonder too coz the 16" primacy hp cost like that...that is why i just wondering how the Michelin Primacy Hp perform?

haha..michelin wrong info?

RRP

Lim Tayar TTDI ain't cheap. That much I can tell you for certain, usually Klang will be the place to go for cheaper tires.

No harm trying to give this shop a call to ask

Thanks. Will give them a call. But with Lim Tayar TTDI, i used to get good pricing which was even cheaper than Tyrezone and also cheaper than many shops in Ipoh. Ive changed tyres for 4 of our family's cars here. But since 2012 ive noticed that their prices have gone up quite a bit. Not sure why.

Cheapest place to change wheels actually is just drive down to Singapore. A lot of my family members do that while they visit relatives and friends.

The same Goodyear EF1A2 cost nearly 200 ringgit cheaper per piece compared to the same tyre sold here

shit, serious?!
i may consider to get some sports tires over there then! (very poisoned on yokohama advan neova ad08 LOL!)

i mean, warranty may be an issue, but everyone knows warranty claims for tires are difficult and dodgy as hell, not to mention most of the problems are self inflicted and/or cant be claimed anyways (eg: puncture, hit road curb etc)

Yeah serious. Tires are cheaper to buy in Singapore. 19 inch or 20 inch or 21 inch tires aren't much more expensive to each other compared to here. Just recently my friend changed his 19 inch tires for 330SGD... Michelin brand.

My latest price check at Lim Tayar TTDI was RM 1170 for Michelin PSS (225-45-18) and RM 890 for Goodyear Assy 2 (235-45-18).

Difference of almost Rm300, I'd just go with the cheaper GYEF1A2. Rm1120 savings is nothing to scoff at plus hard compound like what Quazacolt said, should be longer lasting.

Just did a check with Tyrezone and their pricing for the Michelin PSS is RM 1090. RM 200 difference compared to Assy 2. So that works out to RM 800 difference which i agree isnt a small figure. But im somewhat inclined towards Michelin probably due to my previous experience with the XM2.

An article about Goodyear Assy 2:

http://www.motortrend.com/features/consume...st/viewall.html

wouldn't that article, this thread, the test results i've posted over from tirerack ALL point a favor-ism towards GY EF1 AS2?

well, TS on this thread still went with michelin man, so that's that...

i personally like falken rather than michelin.

just wondering why those primacy hp is cost expensive like that...they sure got an awesome reason to make the price like that..

if u see carefully the web the price of primacy hp for 275/35R19 tire is cost higher than PSS price.

if me , considering falken azenis PT-722 or Azenis FK453 is a great tire too.
