How is this tire? Quite , good handling on dry & wet road? Good in taking corners and fast driving ?

Also how is its life span? How long does it last for?

not necessary good tyre last long.it depends on the performance category.price range rm 450-500++ for michelin

Just came across this brand today Laufenn. its from Hankook which from the net says it was out since end 2014. Anyone familiar with it.

I was quote RM 230 / piece.

I am actually at cross roads. my front tire is bridgestone and its wearing out the back ones are contipremiumcontact 2 and doing well still. initial thought is to change all the same brand so the thread is all the same (which in my believe mean better driving and handling) but the price for CPC2 is like between 350 - 450 which surprises me.

So either i suck it up and spend the money for the front 2 to be conti or change all fours to something else or have 2 brands of tires on the car.

I am looking for a tire that is good for tough, high speed(sometimes when rushing) and good grip for wet & dry while giving good ride comfort and quite as well. I am only familiar with a few brands so keeping the mind open to suggestions for others as long as quality is good and fair price. Surely wanna keep it as low as i can.. budget is an issue till Feb 2017

Anyone can share advise and guidance will be much appreciated.

Hi all,

Any idea what size tyre should I use for City 2013 version?

Thanks.

use back stock size la..185/55/16 or 175/65/15

If didn't change rim size, just use back the current size. You can check the tyre size you're currently using on the side wall of your tyre.

So far so good. Feel lighter on steering feedback & quite compare to preve's stock tyre. I'm not driving so fast taking corner but straight line until 150km/h on dry road no problem. Not yet try above than 150km/h due to road condition not so good. For wet road still not try to push it more than 90km/h. As for the life span need to wait cause just use it for 11 days only.

what tire

check the door

Hello there I'm using this thread to find the next set of tires for my 2009 Honda City, although I didn't plan to change the tires so soon I kinda balded certain parts of it during an e-brake when some idiot Wira just swing out to the fast lane at 90kmh while the traffic from the fast lane was going "quite fast" on the North South Highway.

I'll be upgrading from 175/60R15 stock size to 195/55R15 since this car will have to travel from Johor to KL on a bi-weekly basis. While it is mostly just running 10kms per day on the weekdays. Since it is a family loaner I'm not going to install my favorite T1R as the prices of this model has skyrocketed since my last purchased, so I'm left with the pile below of which I want the opinions of buyers/users.

My number 1 criteria is grip and price, between RM160ppc to RM230ppc.
Everything else like threadwear, comfort, noise, etc. doesn't matter.
progressiveness and good side walls are a plus.

I'm quite interested to know from buyers/users about the Neuton NT8000, GTR Champiro BAX2, Corsa 122, BS Turanza ER30 and Dunlop Formula D01.

Neuton NT8000 @ RM170
GT Radial Champiro BAX2 @ RM175
Corsa 122 @ RM175
BS Turanza ER30 @ RM183
Dunlop Formula D01 @ RM 185
Altenzo Sport Comforter @ RM190
Nexen N'blue HD @ RM200
Yokohama C-Drive 2 @ RM205
Yokohama A Drive @ RM210
Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31 @ RM210
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo @ RM210
Hankook Ventus V2 Concept @ RM220
Pirelli P6 @ RM220
Toyo Teo Plus (Made in Japan) @ RM 230

The models below are in a "junk pile" as they do not fit the criteria of performance although they're relatively cheap, the SAV7 was kind of disappointing as reading reviews of people comparing it to my favourite tire the Toyo T1R because they're both stated as performance orientated tires and around the same price range, but SAV7 doesn't have the performance to match TT1R at this price range. It would have been better if they just categorised it as a comfort tire like the CCC5 but I'm more inclined to believe from the reviews it is more like the GYNCT5. While GYAFM and SSM5 are automatically out since they're meant for long life span and low fuel consumption thus grip isn't it's strong point.

Silverstone Atlantis V7 @ RM220
Continental CC5 @ RM200
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max @ RM225
Goodyear NCT5 @ RM195
Silverstone Synergy M5 @ RM130

since u got a high budget, consider s drive japan/michelin pilot sport 3/hankook v12evo2. this few are among the best for wet dry grip.

really? if there is cheaper i'd consider

also can consider newly launched yokohama advan fleva

no user review and pricing yet?
later mcm atlantis v7

can search on quicksave fb for review

i'm not looking for an individual review, i've already done it.
it is okay.
i don't think anyone really can help here from the looks of it.

Since your main criteria is grip and price then the best choices are below:
Michelin PS3 (I think now can already get within your budget or very close to it).
Hankook V12 Evo 2 (now seems to be the best value for money in terms of performance coz it's the cheapest).
Bridgestone RE003 (may not last as long as the others though due to low tread wear rating)
Goodyear F1-D5 (very good tire, almost as good as the PS3, just a little less performance in aquaplaning and more noise)
May also consider the new Yokohama Advan Fleva which is replacing the old S.Drive.

I've used RE003's, PS3's and T1R's I know what they're about and their price.
However, they've moved up to a higher price category.
So now I'm wondering are sub 200 donuts like V12E2 and Formula D05 just as good if considering just two criteria.

Because normally a tire is judged overall based on:
1. Grip Dry
2. Grip Wet
3. Threadwear
4. Progressiveness
5. Road feedback
6. Comfort
7. Price
8. Noise

Of course for a tire to tick all the boxes i'm looking at something which would be considered the benchmark tire for said category, and that would be expensive.

You mean PS3 & RE003 now are above rm230/tire?? I thought at least PS3 price has dropped a lot now, at least can get below rm250. RE003 last time was below rm200, right?
If that's the case then the V12E2 should be a good choice for you.
