hi guy, im just wanna asking how much is the cheapest 17" inch tyres aa?
performance oso not bad la...coz m thinking to change to 17 spot lim for my Inspira

achilles atr sports. quite noisy due to harder compound but i guess it suit our rough asphalt. can't ask for more considering the dirt cheap price. i used to buy 'em new for drift.
note: do not fooled by its tread thickness which seems never wear out forever (twr420). make sure to change after 35k km or so.

no compromise in safety.

so how much is it bro

Depends on what size u want..205/50, 215/45, 215/50...i think starting price is rm220..not sure..got one shop in Danau Kota selling at that price..U need to ask around lyn to know more..

Silverstone tyre oso cheap. I'm using one now, Atlantis v7..grip is good in wet n dry..but only one problem..noisy as heck since using dry compound rubber.

Your choice.

oic...the 1st number is thickness? im noobie

19x/2xx = width of tire.
middle number (45/50/55) is the thickness (tire profile)

oic arigato2

achilles atr sport is really bang or buck.... my fren uses it and overall ok feedback. It does get noisy after being used awhile. The thread looks like it can last forever, DUN be fooled!!

I heard that Achilles ald gt replacement for the ATR Sport???? But dun see anyone uses it yet, so many generic brands these days....

ATR Sport 2 is the replacement

if am goin to use 17 inch rim, RM250/tyre is consider ok?

yes ...... relatively more noisy than good year . hard compound of this atlantis V7 225/60/16 cost about RM 280/pc.

for 17?

GT Champiro HPY. Seems to have good feedback from the contributors from AW. Value for $$$ as someone put it that it perform close to 90% of a Goodyear AY2 for like 60% of the price.

RM? size?

Dear TS, what is your current tyre size? Are you 'upgrading' to 17 inch tyres?

if you dont mind going China brand 'Good Ride' is damn cheap...RM200 per piece for 215/45/17...using it on my old Beemer now...seems ok...noise not much of a problem if ur car has good noise insulation.Got this from Raeang big tyre shop...has one year warraty for it...so im content for now

also used 215/40/17 Zeta brand...also China made...a tad noise but kinda cheap...used it for more than 8 mths already...

ppl are kinda afraid to use China made tyres coz of poor quality...but hey, most stuff are from China anyways nowadays

but if no budget but want good brands for cheap...the only option is to scout for used tyres...but do choose wisely

my 2 sen

oic... nice share!

yeah some afraid to use china brand coz afraid of tyre blow...

Actually not really for tyre blow but some brands claim a biyt hard. But if buy from a big shop, im sure thats a small issue

Google around n you'll see that china tyres are everywhere in other countries now...some ok, some not...but surely soon theyll take over the world lol

Some china brands even have their own racing teams...dont think they will produce very low quality tyres if they intend to use them for racing ;p

But hey...your choice...choose wisely

Btw now u have two used 225 45 17 used tyres with 60% thread to let go...brand bridgestone super tourer thailand made. No space to store at home now

Was from my beemer...good for rear or spare...or if u wanna test b4 going for expensive one

Anyone wants pm me...very cheap only

You want cheap, then the ATR Sport might be workable. Achilles has the new ATR Sport 2 with different tread.

You can try the Achilles dealer at Setapak (Danau Kota??). It is at the shoplots opposite the new Festival Mall. Its next to a corner mamak shop. Jalan 7/23e

If you haven't bought wheels yet, their wheels are quite well priced.

I just bought 2 ATR sports from them yesterday.



If you are looking at other brands, go to Klang.


Hope this helps.
