so far i have narrowed down to two brands according to my budget....so would like some advise to choose either one. Continental or good year( model NCT 5 not sure). unfortunately i dont know the model for this two brand as the dealer just quoted me according to the price which is from rm275/pc to rm290/pc. 16"

which would be better? more to driving in town an occasionally outstation. thank you

Bro, whats your tyre size? You can try to ask for Yokohama C-Drive 2. Good mix of comfort and performance. Mid-performance compared to say Conti Comfort Contact 5 which is entry level only.

im tyre size is 16 inch....oh cool...whats the price range for the yokohama?

stay away from goodyear nct5... those are dangerous tires... barely any grip during the dry and wet...

i think ducaro GA perform better than nct 5.

eh.. hi maDmAN !

well thanks for the head up. err im currently using nct 5 but never really did felt the danger although i didnt really like the ride because its quite rough and bouncy. thats why im deciding to change to another brand which at the moment i think conti is the best according to my requirements which is comfort and good grip for wet.

neway i just came back from lim tayar to ask around and i will never go back there again. first they gave a wrong price compared to couple of days ago when i first when. secondly this guys is trying so hard to make me change my set of rims instead of just the tires. 3rdly he quoted me nct 5 higher than conti mc5...can you believe this sh*t? i told him its impossible for nct5 to be higher than mc5...he said rubber price increase....my a**....

btw, price according to lim tayar mcs conti rm320/pcs and nct5 rm340/pcs....

Bro, 16 inch tyres also got many sub-variants such as

205/50/16
205/55/16
215/60/15

oh im actually looking at 205/45/16..

Michelin PS3 - RM451 3S Specialists Ara Damansara (Feb-13) B+A+N.Gas

Prices from AW Website. My personal suggestion is to check if Hankook V12 has your size. Its a cheaper alternative to Goodyear GD5. Your size, the tyres are mostly performance based, hence could be a reason why NCT5 is more expensive, but these sizes, the ride is a bit harsh.

Thanks a bunch for posting up the list. Yes alot of dealer are telling me my size is very rare and they dun keep stock. Wow looks like the prices indeed increase. Ok will continue to look. Thanks again

Try GT Radial HPX/HPY, good value for money. Already got good reviews in ZTH forum.

Try bigger shops like Quicksave or Hup Soon in Sunway. You can also call up and ask - that's what I do, but you should know which model u want, say Goodyear GD5 and ask for specific price for your size. Save u time and petrol to go to the respective shops.

Btw, what car are u driving with such an odd size tyre?

sunway...ah good cuz im working at shah alam....
im driving myvi and i change my rims few years back to 16 inches....
all this time ive been using 205/45/16 series but i notice everytime when i change the prices keep increasing...the last time i changed was back 2011. at that time i manage to get rm265/pcs. now im getting around rm290 and above. think its time to get back to stock!!!

btw the quicksave, where is the location?

Quicksave is in USJ, ask Google. They have facebook. You can also google Hup Soon contact details

shah alam? theres a few tire shops in glenmarie u could check out...

also ah kit in sek24 seems to have decent pricing too. u can search for ah kit in mudah.my

yay just change my tires...currently using continental mc5.....first impression i like the thread where there's 2 strips of lonkang for water threading, a little bumpy but ive yet to really take it for a real test as the workshop is only 5 mins away from my home. but i can feel the grip is good when taking corner as in the steering wheel is very responsive and noise level is low. but its still new. overall very satisfied wit it.

thanks everyone for their opinion and well appreciated.
