i am going back to the tyre shop this saturday to let them check. See what they say. Hopefully can replace new tyres for me for free. But I am not sure i want Good year any more...

you can never go wrong with michelin.. yokos are good too.. cheaper alternative you can opt for neuton (subsidiary of yoko) made in indo.


for me either go for michelin or yoko.. dont bother looking at others.

i am thinking of michelin. but if they really replace the tyres for me for free, i guess they will only give me good year. maybe i can top up a little money and change to michelin...

Bro, what's your tyre size. You said u drive Waja Right using 15'.

If its old Waja - the Cam TAK Pro - its 195 /55 / 15

Its its Waja CPS - its 195/60/15

If u are using 195/55/15 if u have cash to spare, why not take Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (PS3). This is considered as Performance Tyre. Else, u can consider Yokohama C Drive 2 (CD2). Good mix of Performance and Comfort.

If u still want Goodyear take the Goodyear Directional 5 (GD5), peformance tyre.

Other Brands taht u can consider - Hankook, V12, performabnce tyre that does not cost a bomb.


If u use 195/60/15 less choices of Performance based tyre. PS3 is not available in this size but u can still find CD2.

i think they are 195 /55 / 15.
sorry i know very little about tyres. What is the difference between performance tyre and normal ones?

Performance tyres = good for cornering, driving fast, etc but not so comfortable and don't last too long

Normal Tyres / Comfort Tyres = Comfortable but not good for cornering, driving fast, etc

you can look at your tyre and the size is printed on it. Also the model is normally printed on it. Goodyear NCT5?? Goodyear GT3?? Goodyear Efficient Grip? Goodyear Assurance? Goodyear something?

too new tyre will cause tyre botak??? what kind of statement is that.
I think if alignment is too out, can cause the whole surface botak too. for example if your toe is very in like this /--\
Since you said you changed tyre (change 4 tyre?) and the back tyre are ok, then, sounds more like alignment problem to me??

bro, go your trusted workshop/alignment shop and check the alignment. maybe toe out already.

toe out can makan quite lot of thread. btw, take a photo of the thread and let us see, maybe some sifu can judge

they are Good Year NCT5. I am not sure now. tyre defects or alignment...

here is one of the tyres


Attached thumbnail(s)

Bro, your tyres really look like you do 'drifting' on Sepang Circuit. It looks totally worn out, like how my tyres looked like after I did like almost > 60K km. Its totally worn out like u said.

You're sure the manufacture date is 08/13?

If your shop refuse to honour warranty, consider going direct to Goodyear but do make sure that your alignment, suspension is also ok cos that's how these company try to find fault.


Bro, I also used NCT5 before, there were good to me for 60K km / 3-years. After that, it looked exactly like yours.

exactly, when i go for some shops and ask for opinion and they heard me say only run 7000km, they are all like "what the...".

one of the them is 0813, the other one is 0913.

my two tyres at the back are also NCT5. They were used at the front for 3 months plus before shifted to the back. and they are ok.

from my view , tire pressure low
cos tire wear on both shoulder

dont be so naive to claim back tire shop ,
u take a botak tire and claim new tire , what kind of business is this?

btw , izzit possible u ald swap ur new tire to the rear?

i pump gas to the tyres every month about 32psi.

i changed the front tyres on Apr 2013. they are 0813 and 0913.
the back tyres are 2612. no way the back tyres are the ones i changed on Apr 2013.

i have been driving the waja for ten years and i know how long my tyres should last. i never have this issue out of these 10 years.

2 of my colleagues told me they have the similiar issue with GY although not as bad as mine. i should take thier advice.

i do not put much hope to get refund. just wanted to consult more experience guys whether have similar issue before.

at first look, i also think is tire pressure too low. cause yes tyre wear on both shoulder.

I was going to say you never pump tyre maybe. but since you said you pump gas every month, then i suspect maybe your front tyres has unusual high rate of air leakage?? So maybe the valve got damage, or not properly installed, or something wrong that's cause high air leakage.

Maybe during tyre change, the shop did something improper, resulted in air loss very fast. OR, the tyre got defect, which resulted in air loss very fast.

Do share what the tyre shop have to say after you showed them:)

by the way, GY just called me, they asked me to go to shah alam to let them check the tyres. but i no free laa. and tomolo i am going to tyre shop shop and change them already.

if GY offers to check the tyres... ask them to send people to you.
