wtm0325, after buying the carbon spray, how to apply? Just spray inside, wipe wherever possible, and the rest that went inside apa cam? Tekan minyak let it burn and come out from ezos?

I came cari this forum again cos today I meet up with my unit trust agent, and he told me a farking same story about spare tyre coming off while driving. Such horror reminds me not to tail a alza at all times unless you really hungry, hoping to eat giant donut for free.

btw, what is the lastest tyre to try? Good year and many more brands have new tyres. My XM2 front 2 tyres are wearing off... need to change by year end, I think... need to find out how far have i traveled with the XM2. Sure ain't as tahan as I hoped for.

The old 2010 model. Got introduced to use Nankang tyres. RM150 for 195/55. Frm China. Extremely low noise and comes with 3 years warranty. Anyone using?

i saw some quoting few hundred only.. there's 7" to 9". But i think the problem is slow cpu speed, meaning after selecting, it might take a few seconds to react, like those old gps.

KL - Gua Musang - Kota Bahru = RM40 only.. but drive slow, thanks to all the pahang, terengganu, kelate plates

anyone using nankang tyres?

I don't know. The shop nearby recommending.. 3 yrs warranty at rm150 for 195/55.

But taiwanese famillies uses them.. nankang is not like a niche market product in taiwan. it is widely use. and taiwan do have strigent quality checking before going into market, and after going into market. many investigative journalist too.. more than singapore and japan.

BUT,.. taiwan is four season country... so i wonder if their tyres are suitable for us? msia wud be a niche market to them.. this i dont know.

They already have an authorized distributor but maybe the msia counterpart do bad job on promoting it locally... or they just hold on to it, and never push it. I have never heard of nankang until was recommended by the shop. Who would think taiwan produces their own tyres? I would imagine we, msia, thai, indon, china, vietnam, etc... makes the most tyres around the world.

ur right!!

Thanks... will install too... DIY easily or need pros to install?

What tyres are you guys on? Using XM2, since 2011... Still nice although lots of cracks every where... they just dont make tyres like they used to... but the front 2 is becoming bald fast..

not those manufacturing cracks, but wear and tear... so can't go for warranty.. but it is a disappointment that XM2, where the mfg slap on the word DURABLE, showing such result after 3+ years.

Yup E, we changed our tyres around the same time.. u first then me... i went for XM2 while u bought PS3.. mine was just RM10 cheaper each, compared to yours. But i guess both mich products did not live up to expectation.. wouldn't you say so?

The front tyres are almost 85% gone... the hind tyres are alright, around 30% intact, 70% gone... I don't remember if I did a swap (front back) but those at the front aren't nice to see anymore. However, under wet conditions and dry conditions, they are still performing (have grip..at least)

Just thought I take advantage of any CNY sales while the tyre prices are coming down. But yesterday, I got a quote from matang pagar, CC5 @ RM430 for 2pcs, Alignment is another RM30.

Damn these greedy sellers... I bet if we talk/discuss more, he'll say those are old stocks. FU.. keep your stocks, as if there is no time stamp on the tyres!!

couldn't agree more... oil prices came down so much, back to just USD45 / barrel, u see any petrol kiosk bankrupt?

i only see food prices and everything else going up, nothing came down.

yes, the newspaper have published articles about fallen rubber prices, and some layman they interviewed said prices are already down... i guess these must be real buyers at certain shops that the reporter was interviewing..??!! (or even those are made ups?)

that's why i hope to spend some money on the tyres before they go back up, if they are going back up.

The price between the two don't diff a lot

my weekend price hunt along sg buloh.. (Total beli, 2 BIJI SAJE)
XM2, RM195/pc
PS3, RM205
C DRIVE 2, RM180
GD YR, forgot what it is, RM160
CC5, RM215
ECOPIA 200, RM160 (but must buy 4)

Which one huh? and I tot new ones put in front not at back of car?

most of them are 185/55/15, maybe one or two are 195, i believe
