Hi sifus,

Im thinking of changing my tyre from GoodYear brand to a much better brand like Falken/Michelin/etc. But im pretty noob and new about tyres. So, please suggest me what tyre is best for my Saga BLM M-Line with 14″ Sport rim (185/60R14) that can reduce road noise, improve fuel consumption. Max budget is RM320 for each piece.

Thank you

Your budget is very high....
I think $210 enough for a good tire already

I dun mind. That is only my max budget. It can be anything below as long as it is good.

get d micheling/ bridgestone~

Model?

Michelin xm2
Bridgestone Turanza ar10
Bridgestone ecopia ep200

Goodyear ducaro ga - saga stock tire
Continental cc5

I think some low end one you won't consider..like silver stone

only michelin xm2 or bridgestone ep200~

"Yokohama C Drive 2 " is good choice.

what TS should know :
1) soft compound tyres : more grip, not long lasting, should be less noisier.
2) hard compund tyres : tend to be noisy, long lasting.
* there is no fuel efficient tyres.
* ur car is manual, so it should be fuel efficient, unless u always WOT.
* road condition is bad, so tend to be noisy, if use what kind of tyres.
* some say yoko C drive 2 good, but like i said, soft compund tyres are not long lasting ones.
* there is no perfect tyres.

got. it's called lower rolling resistance. you can "simulate" it by over inflating your tires
tires these days especially the eco ones will have good LRR so it takes less effort to accelerate and maintaining the desired vehicle speed.

that however, *may* mean that grip may be compromised and that it will be a bit harder to stop

btw you so free after "supposedly leaving the saga thread" until have to necro threads around?

Pirelli P6 or Michelin XM2

just as long as its not falken, very famous for low prices, but very loud and grip is the same a an almost bald tyre,
reviews from friends and taxi drivers that have used their products

Changed my tyres to Michelin Energy XM2 1-2 weeks after starting this thread. Thanks everyone!

Bro .. How's your Michelin ? I'm thinking to change xm2 also as my ride is exactly same as yours..
How much per donut you got?

RM200 per tyre. But I paid RM700 for the whole set after tradein with my 4 years old GoodYear Ducaro Ga.

Believe me, the tyre is very2 good. And it's raining seasons, drove through small flood is much better, smoother than my previous tyres.

Honestly speaking, it's a huge different for me after changing the tyres.

Ok.. I will change it within this week.. Been thinking wether to go for xm2 or cd2..
Your previous Goodyear tyre was the one given by proton or you changed it before? 100 for trade in is worth the money .

Given by Proton

What? 4 year old ducaro? even the front tyres only last me about 2 years only.

agreed. my xm2 cuts through water like hot knife through butter.

my friend said xm2 is noisy tyre. maybe because it's hard compound tyre & entry level tyre. can comment on that?
