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.

QUOTE(putra23 @ May 3 2017, 03:20 PM) 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.

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.

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.

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!
