post-CNY price jack-up

One Michelin shop in P.J told me to forget about ps3 since it's gonna be obsolete, and to look out for ps5...sadness

Any recommendations for well priced Bridgestone Turanza 225/50/R18 Run flat tyres? Or Michellin?

Looking for Pilot SPort 4 SUV 235/60R18... around Klang/Shah Alam area, any recommendations?

Need some advice for my new set of tyres.
Currently I'm driving Nissan Serena with 205/55/R16 tyre.
Looking for new set of silent and comfort tyre.
Thanks.

Any tyre recomend to replace my PS4? Used to have Yoko c drive 2, but now no longer sell.
looking for super quiet tyre with medium grip

Can share how many years of usages or km?

I am now thinking between Primacy 4 or Pilot Sport 4.. But after seeing your pictures make me wonder...

Anyone here purchase tyres from Performance Tyre Malaysia-PTM in Shah Alam? The reviews in fb, google, shopee and lazada all 4/5 stars

you can go to their shop if you see the price is good, since they have included balancing and alignment, if you think their alignment is not good then you can just go to your preferred workshop to do it

no matter which shop you go, it is best to ask them what's the manufactured year of the tyres they are giving you, and when you see tyres yourself, inspect it for defect and check the manufactured date, that's what i do all the time

im planning to up my civic fc 1.8 frm 16" to 17", advisable?

Depends on your priorities.
If you prioritize comfort and cost saving then stay 16.
If you prioritize sharper handling and looks then upgrade to 17.

Does narrower tyres provide better comfort?

I thought wider tyres are slightly more comfortable but they are negligible. Tyre profile is more important to comfort than width.

Indeed. Sidewall height is important in providing some level of comfort.

16 inch tyres has higher sidewall height compared to 17 inch tyres of similar wheel fitment/size (wheel diameter).

Hence, 16 inch tyres are more comfortable than its 17 inch counterpart.

Need to replace my Cx5 225/65/17 all 4 tyres. Thinking to go for the conti uc6 suv tyre. So far cheapest I was quoted is 415 per piece with balancing and alignment done. Good deal?

I'm having the same rubber chipping problem on my blu-earth es32 within 2.5 years (<50kM)
Did not encounter such damage in the past 2 sets of tyre, i.e; ecopia/CC5 (stock)

Any latest alignment readings print out on your ES32 for sharing?

My hunch is a lot of tyre wear comes from less than ideal (mis)alignment angles.

It happens to all 4 tyres? Done tyre rotations?

What car and/or suspension systems?

It happened on my front tyres.
I just did the rotation recently once I found out the chipping.
I should rotate it much earlier.
The tyre sifu told me I'm not the only one facing this es32 chipping problem.

btw, I'm just normal careful myvi driver.
Fast and furious is not my style.

Rubber compound properties of ES may contribute to chipping IDK, but the above tyre photo (not yours) points to outside edge wear which are alignment-related , made worse being a front steering axle tyre.

Tyre rotation would spread out 'abnormal' wear (if any among 4 tyres, not resolve it) related to specific location (of Left Front or Right Front etc) camouflaging problem in a specific location of axle.

Mine also edge wear (chipping) .
Then, I shall check the alignment properly in next replacement.
