Hi guys need ur opinion on Viking tyre... never really heard of it... but frm sum research its a brand under the continental tyre grp. Any opinions on this tyre? Good and bad r opinions r welcomed.

I just put on Viking City Tech 5 RM155 each. also want to know what others thought about these tires

What size bro, price seems quite good

165/55/R14 for my viva

So far Wat i read is its pretty new tire.. came out in September. .. lolz... i was planning to get one after sum comments but now an seems to know much bout it.

it's a replacement for Sime Tyre. Cater for lowest range pricing from Continental

and i thought it was some unheard England brand given the name 'Viking' haha.

I've put on viking protech 5 since sept 13, 225/40/18 rm360 each. So far im very happy with the performance and even during wet condition.
Today i went to do alignment & balancing, the tyres shop told me this tyres quality is good and the thread is still in good condition after 9 months (25000km on the road).

Just bought Vking 195/60/R15 which cost me RM200 each and recommended by tyre shop. Slightly regret coz not doing much of homework before change my tyres. I am looking for less noise and comfort tyre which initially want to give a try on Mix XM-2.

Looks like its sime tyre, just rebranding it.. If it's true than should b careful..

road noise due to hard compound...i hate that too, which is why most of the time i go for michelin or continental.

I did a little research before on viking.
It is not rebranding

Is continental new product in malaysia.
doesnt look like budget tire to me..maybe just slighlty above budget segments

put on 4 PT5 on my car, size 195 60 15, feel good, the ride is soft, makes me think of my old A drive, not yet tested wet grip, overall love it.

Just change one pair of viking for my old kancil. RM113 each.
Previously was using bridgestone, so far so good...

Just changed 4 pieces of Viking CT 5 on my Iswara. All I can say is damn good lol, road noise is acceptable(cause of thick rubber thread I think). Handling okay. Wet condition handling also good! So far so good, recommended! FYI, I changed RM110 per piece, 175/70r13

Which shop ah?

same price for EP200 if i'm not mistaken.. for 195/55/15

RM130 T speed rating for Myvi tyre. Tread wear 420.

Is Viking similar grade as GT? What are the equivalent brands for Viking?
175/65R14 quoted RM130 for both.

Change both front tire with viking CT5 185/60/14 for my saga blm. So far good on dry and wet. Good at karak too..confident at corner.

How much for each..?

Where did you buy your Viking CT5 185/60/14..?
I want to find Viking tayar shop in KL area...

Just changed all 4 tyres Viking for my Neo in Sek 13 Shah Alam..
RM230 each.. so far so good and the noise level is amazingly low..
Viking is manufactured in the same manufacture plant as Continental tyre

Viking tyres is a Norwegian brand....Norway, a subsidiary brand of Continental tyres.

What size is your Viking tyre for RM 230 each?

I bought them at shah alam. rm 138 / pc including balancing & GST.

These tyre made in malaysia and produce at Conti's factory.

Tyre from Norway..? Very interesting

Thanks Bro..

Price not bad..

Viking is wallet friendly tyre

Falken cheaper?

Trying Viking for the 1st time. 175/65R14 for RM130 per donut, include valve, balancing and alignment. Exclude GST.

No. Viking is cheaper than Falken.

I have been using Falken for many years, I think more than 10 years,
Falken is a very good tyre, soft, quiet and comfortable like Michelin,
no complain at all.

I started to use Falken since when it was first called Firenza many years ago.

Now since Viking is cheaper, i want to try Viking..

The size is 195/50 R16 bro.. satria Neo

I had changed to Dunlop J5 (165/60/R13)
However during my change the tyre shop highly recommend viking tyre too.Said it last, but i din change because was my first heard of this brand.
Any further review about this tyre? Thanks.

195/60/15 anyone got price for this viking tyre?

and got a shop recommend Continental CC5 (RM175) over this viking. opinions?

for me cc5 is better in terms of quiet and comfort.the viking is a little hardd.

Viking Tyre Promo Price:

+ RM 15 installation + 6% GST

where is this? can share location
and what is the price for 195/50R15?

Location is near Happy Garden, Kuchai Lama.
But the Chinese shop supervisor is quite LC.

I guess the price for 195/50R15 is RM 111, plus RM 15 installation + 6% GST,
so each 195/50R15 will cost roughly RM 133.60

bought Viking CT5 17/70/r13 @ RM130
satisfy and quality similar to continental cc5

Can share price for 185 55 15 anybody?

Post updated:

Checked out the place today. Promotion only for selected specs, i guess the not so popular ones.

Viking citytech 185/50/15 got promotion at rm135, excl alignment and gst.

But my Honda City I wanted to change to 195/55/15 is normal price which is RM 156, excl alignment and gst.

Actually the guy I spoke to quite ok, not so lcly. He recommend Goodyear, supposedly less bumpy than Viking, just slightly more expensive at Rm166.

If the promo is still available on the gross price (listed on banner) of RM 111 for each Viking 195/60/15:
195/60/15 is RM 111 + RM 15 + 6% GST = around RM 133.56 each

But not sure if this promo on Jalan Lazat is still available or not...

Just went today, promo is still on.

I went there looking for 205/55 but they don't have promo for that profile.

Got it

Thx!

Viking PT5 vs Dunlop J5

which is bestest SiFU?

any pt5 users? noise betol so bad?

just changed viking tyres last month at Best Drive continental at Jalan Puchong, so far so good, previously using silverstone. will comment further soon on this Viking tyre.


Pusat Perkhidmatan Tayar Dan Bateri Puchong Sdn. Bhd.
Lot 5905, Batu 6 1/4, Jalan Puchong, Taman Kuchai, 58200 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Yeah, noisy compared to other premium tire... You can't expect anything from that price range.
But, overall performance I would said is good. It's more durable than it's looks.
You got the tire ady?

yea got the tyre already.. been using it for few months.. road noise acceptable that that price..

and handling not bad since changed together with sport rim.. 15'

for daily use and not genting kaki i would say its affordable and worth it

I see lots of people using it (not reviewing it though hehe). The brand is from Norway but the Viking tyres here are made locally.

If you observe tyres at car parks, can spot Viking around. Saw even on luxury cars such as BMWs. Of course their market share is small being a relatively new brand but I think it is slowly growing. The more common brands that I observe are Michelin, Continental, Dunlop, Bridgestone, etc

Yeah, viking handling is really no bad since it's under continental.
I guess somehow it inherited the tech from conti.

For genting kaki use what tyre also faster botak..... rofl

I change to Viking tire and kind of regret it as the air keep on leaking from my kenari and I have to pump it up almost every week. The jelutong tire shop I send it say the weight balance at the side cause the air to escape and they adjust it but after a month. It will come back again. The tire side is hard and does not grip the rim well causing the air to escape faster than normal tire. I get it at RM150/each. No problem for the rear tire as it does not turn much as the front those causing the air to leak out. I will change the two front tire to some other brand and keep the rear one for now. The two extra from the front will be use for rear when it botak.

Viking vs dunlop... which is better ?

where is it made in?

prefer go for dunlop/the new model j5/d05/lm704 are improved model compare to their old one like j3/lm703/d01

Viking 225/45 R18 around Jalan Kuching, Kepong area? How much? Where is the shop?

Mind to advise?

Possible leaking from the air valves?

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.

If really tyre problem, they should replace them for you. Should be under warranty.

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.

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 had blacklisted this viking..
before ... wah! cheap n good..
after ... good things no cheap, cheap things no good.
lesson learn.
ps.. mine exploded @32psi

Lesson learn - not all made in Malaysia tire good as they suppose to be cheaper from local rubber.

I've just changed to viking city tech 5 yesterday for my kancil turbo for rm115 per donut..after reading reviews here hope nothing bad happen...

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.

Seriously?? RM115 per 1, the price is freaking low wehyyy... It's almost my time to change new tire dy! I'm still seeking for recommended tire. The current tyres i use, i bought for around rm150 per 1 LOL

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.

Anyone can suggest any shop sell the viking tyre at Gombak/KL?

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!

Hi ,anyone using Viking ProTech 5 205/55/16 or 205/50/16?Just enquired at Rawang tyre shop ,quoted me RM 220 per piece.

dunlop do5 has better review right?more branded and better in wet.

Thanks for your suggestion .I will try to check the price .

Better buy this la, confirm way much better than any of those!
https://www.mudah.my/Tyre+tayar+205+55+16+h...o2-58846012.htm

do5 is almost similar pricing with viking.so u can consider.
