They fix it by removing all the little weight plug the other shop put in for balancing without doing anything and it come back again whenever the air is low. Never going to buy viking anymore - Sime typre I use last time seen ok. Just RM10/= more. Will going to get the two front tyre replace soon.

They check it and replace the valve but later trace to the weight click to the tire that leak air out. Now, I try to pump at 260 to keep the tire straight and hard.

Saw in some reviews according to this brand need to pump at least 36 psi. more than 260.

Dangerous or not put in 36 psi? It just not worth it to risk for this cheap tire. I am planning to replace it soon.

i am using viking PT5 treadwear 360 for 1 year 20000km already, so far so good. i guess it is more durable than City tech 5 of treadwear 240 because someone here his tyre just exploded

I guess too coz I'm using Protech 40,000km with no issues. Perhaps Protech much better compared to Citytech.

i also look for the tyre that is low price but hv good performance , what model of Viking r your wife using? i think i want to buy the model of tyre that is same with you..

You can try ask professional opinions from the workshop staff. I believe they will solve your issue. Bare in mind that using the same model doesnt mean issue solved, unless we are driving the same vehicle.

i never changed all four tyres one go..it cost me a total of rm500.xx (dun remember the cents) including balancing+allignments+gst...seems a good bargain or not? when 1st choosing i thought on buying the Falken (well-known than viking at least and cheaper at rm100 per donut) but the tauke said "falken is lousy one..better viking coz same company with continental one". and i ended up going with his suggestion.

Sidewall too thin. Easily punctured from side if u hit a kerb or stone with sharp end.

I am willing to try cheap tyres because I really dont drive aggressively. I know Sime tyres were lousy. Kena hydropanning frequently on NSE. After that I only used michelin but now that tyres have gotten so expensive.. Viking or Bugis brand also I am willing to try

I have been using 2 Viking tyres on my Saga BLM for around 2 years, so far no problem but I still prefer Continental.

Care to drive down MRR2 a bit? If so, go to Dtox at Wangsa Maju or AutohausKL at AU3, ask if they have your tyre size in stock before you go.

Save your money - stay away from it - I regret buying it for my car. The grip to the rim not good as the tire is harder a bit then Sime tyre I use before. The air escape slowly and every week, I must go to pump it up. You may save a little but not worth the trouble. I am now thinking of changing the two front tire to CC6. They offer me two solution - change the rim or change to another brand of tire. I pay RM150/= each x 4 and was thinking it was a good deal then, 10 month down the road - with many month of trouble. I had enough. Yes, the shop sold me their last set of viking!
