wow...quite cheap..

is the thread for falken 912 is last long? well i dont expect much from comfort..as long the tire
is doing well on wet and dry is fine to me..

Yes Cheap edi to me after compared with michelin shop at my home quote RM218 each... diff Rm43 X 4 = RM172...
My advice, pay a visit tyre shop around your home 1st before U made any decision. If the total diff <RM50 (tyre cost), it not worth to go Klang but if above >Rm150 than Ok. This basic without hidden cost... U know & I know what is hidden cost are?

Location:

If you stand at Petronas..
Left Side + Petronas it self are Tmn Indah / Tmn Sri Endah
Right Side after empty land are Tmn Sentosa..

Base on my Wish 522 (Indonesia) can last <2 years, I use my wish as comparison coz Wish daily driving or even go to home town (Jerantut) & seldom drive to Lumut & Pasir Gudang. 912, if I not mistaken Thailand made & better than Indonesia made one.

my last 912 tyre for 195/55/15 spec last till 32k mileage. since last time almost every month travelling from KL to Kuantan and i usually speed more than 160km/h, maybe it reduce the lifespan of the tyre..according to brochure, for normal drive it can clock up till 45k.

like i mention before. the best cheaper falken tyre is 912, dont bother other model below it. 522 is much noisy than 912. tried on my bro waja, same spec.

and the flagship falken tire is FK453, but of coz expensive and dont have tire for small size rims.

ask the guy who bought, i planning to buy too

btw if cheaper each rm10 i also will go and chg. my location at klang too. btw batu belah there cost me c drive 2 rm 210. but i wan try xm2 or ps3 got better offer or not. btw do u got the shop hp number?

175 for xm2 is sure very cheap. but for best grip and performance, PS3 is better option.
xm2 more to comfort and last long. not for performance.

dont forget to check the manufacturing date. sometimes they sell cheap tire becoz of last-last year product..if now 2013, 2012 tire still consider ok. if made on 2011, afraid later the rubber elasticity not as good as new.

last time i bought 912, the tire is still fresh made. come fresh from factory. i still remember i bought it around 1-2months from manufacturing date. that is why i feel 912 is a great tire. some said 912 sucks..maybe they bought the old set of 912 tire..dont know haha

I've had two sets of falken 912 195/55/15 on myvi. Good grip in dry, normal grip in wet. First set I paid 155each and second set I paid 170each. Shop is speedline sungai buloh. Last around 40k the only complain is quite noisy, only slightly better than Goodyear Nct.

Just changed maxxis ipro the same size for another myvi. Paid 210each at rawang. Damn good in both wet and dry, initially wanted Goodyear directional 5 but most shop don't carry that and the guy recommend me maxxis so I just give it a try. No regret so far as the noise level lower, both grip and braking better than falken 912.

hi..just bought falken ziex 912 for rm165 per piece

WA ha,..cheap cheap. what size and what is the manufacturing date?

unfortunately the manufacturing date around august last year 2012..
im asking for new 2013 but the taukeh said it will arrived next month..i have no choice..i need to change it this month..
so i just grab it since the price is quite reasonable.. size 195/55/15...made in thailand..

yup..august 2012 considered ok. since the price quite reasonable. last time i bought mine made in thailand too. hardly find japan made.haha. u dont ask that taukeh about michelin ps3 price?

dunno boss bcoz i ask for cheapest tyre available..actually i want kumho but kumho not available ..but i ask yokohama around rm210 iinm..since my budget quite tight i go for falken..

what model yoko? cdrive2? with price like that falken 912 is very good for money. only cdrive2 give u better comfort than 912.

last week survey around my workplace to change tire. currently working in banting.

price:

Dunlop D01 195/55/R15 = RM170
yokohama A.Drive 195/55/R15 = Rm170
bridgestone MY-01 195/55/R15 = RM170
goodyear NCT 5 195/55/R15 = RM175
Continental comfort contact 5 195/55/R15 = RM175
falken ziex 912 195/55/R15 = RM180
bridgestone turanza 195/55/R15 = RM210

there are other few brand that they offer, forgot the price already. then, there is one shop offered me new tire brand, golden bridge. model GB500 which made in indonesia. by looking at the spec, it's quite good.. temperature A, Traction AA. speed rating is 85V. only treadwear a bit low. 300 only.can assume it's soft compound tire. the most tempting is the price he offer me RM155 only.

changed last weekend and already give a try at butterfly exit at putrajaya. more grip than falken ziex 912..


a bit noisy than falken 912. i guess it can last around 25-30++K KM only. now waiting to test the grip in wet condition.

kasi drill tayar satu...

design like my ATR sport

ya lah...look almost identical. treadwear ATR sport is 400...fiuh!
