Guy can recommend a good tyre for Kembara, currently using a MICHELIN XM1 205/70/R15 (More than 5 year).

Plan to get a new tyre for 70% long distance driving and 30% city driving.

Will prefer a durable type, as most of the time will drive to the construction site.

Hope you guy can suggest the type should be use, budget wise let say around (corrected)RM300 to RM400 per tyre. Seem like 205 type no lesser than RM300 sweat.gif

Guy, I got myself a Yokohama Geolander for my kembara. I'm no expert but want to ask, from the kembara indication it say 185kpa or 26psi for rear and back. But when I change my tire at the shop, the shop owner suggest I to pump the tire to 220kpa or 32psi. Izit okay to pump at this pressure?

geolander max psi quite low. my 215-65-16 max=40psi. l max mine to 36. takut .. 90% of the tyre specification.
better to follow the tyre not the tech. kid.
if tyre blow up while u drive, you die not him.
anyway l just change to michelin, max 50psi stated on tyre.

geolander very good on rainy road , only a bit noisy on highway . it is a off road tyre... tahan lasak..
you better reduce the psi to 24 on the save side . the manufacturer don't print that for no reason

I can't find any print on the tyre stated the maximum pressure. Mine was G046. So how you feel when you max your to 36psi? The day I change the tyre I'm driving with 32psi and it feel bumpy. Then I just change back to the recommended 26psi and it feel less bumpy(now want to compare between this 2 pressure which one can safe fuel). Haha, will definitely stick back with the recommended pressure. Just want to ask around a good tip in maintaining the tyre if we pump it not based on the recommended pressure that all. Thanks for your info.

Yes, like what u said. The geolander do have good handling during rain but down side is it really noisy on the highway. I'm been using Michelin XM1 for 8 years, must say it is one of the best brand when choosing tyre.
