I also budget tire user....but budget means premium used tires...
For the price of a new nexen...can get top of the line tires thats about 80% above usage. Get only those 2010 above....but most of used tires I buy, the rubber harden a bit, its gonna be rowdy for the first 1K Km... Do check the tire strictly especially the inner parts. Sometimes need to use torch light (handphone light also OK) to check it. Check for sidewall damage and cracks, sidewall must have No damage.....If got 1 puncture patch in the middle tread still OK. But thats me... This post has been edited by azbro: Apr 30 2013, 02:11 PM |

But I'm not promoting used stuff....this is my personal choice Used tires also got problems like rubber harden, rowdy, dun have that 'new' feeling, finish faster etc But after 1 months the tires will set in and feels better Of course buying new prime branded tires is the prefered (if got the money) This post has been edited by azbro: Apr 30 2013, 03:59 PM |

If you don't intend to skimp on quality,a 17" willl be like RM600~RM700Then, when you are driving, go into another pothole...there goes another tire!

QUOTE(grim.fandango @ Apr 29 2013, 07:53 AM) i didn't mean to offend anyone. Had a few months old continental tyre that suddenly bulge out, complaint to them and in the end, as goodwill, I was given a new tire. i am sure that if it is punctured, i would feel the slight wobbly but no. it just wobbled and i immediately emergency parked my car. yes, i was a bit upset that night & the following morning but come to realized that seller has nothing to do with this. i have accepted that it is an expensive lesson to be learned. i have punctured my asy f1 a couple of times and none of the incident shred it useless. i can only say that this is the last time i'm going with cheap tires.

Been using Achilles ATR Sport for about 7 months and travelled roughly 14,000 - 18,000 km on it.
And mostly highway driving and long distance, 130 - 170 kmh is common. Reading this thread, now im worried with my tires. Any suggestions for good, not so expensive tires for 15" ? |
