Hi guys, now considering taking re003 or ps3.

Can I know the price ranging for 195/55/15? As for ps3 I got for 260-280. Not aggressive driver, a careful driver.

thanks in advance..

story to share

few days ago , wednesday if not mistaken, i called a bridgestone dealer ask for re003,
here are the conversation ;

Me : boss, sorry to disturb, how much per unit for RE 003 , 195/55
boss : around 185 ?

Me ( damn happy and surprise ): ohh serious ?? how much for 4 pcs and brake pad ?
boss : u come lah..i kasi u special price

Yesterday i go the shop and ask , guess wat , an old uncle came out say he duno o, cuz this shop belongs his son, den i go ask his son.

Me : boss , that day i call u say 185 per unit , and special price for 4pcs ?
boss : whr gt , no la , u tipu meh ?

Me : i wednesday call n u say 185 for RE003 ?
boss : no la, that one its ecopia ??

Me : then how much for RE003 ?
Boss : 255 per unit...

I straight jammed at there ..he say i heard wrong , the 185 its ecopia offer price..so i straight turn my back and just go out from the shop .

Lesson learnt , dun ever ever trust on so call boss words ..at the end, still wan offer me so high price ..

the dealer is known as CHONG MENG AUTO SERVICES.
just my opinion to this dealer : please dun lie to customer , if u admit ur misleading to me on the pricing,  i am still ok.
*
yea...
255 is the best price for now...

tyre price increased since oct 1st.

I got mine last few months for 195/pc. Then I go ask the same shop again. same size 255-265 already...

Michelin for myvi r14 also 200 already.

Yea, tyre price had increase a lot.

hi sifu here. i want to change my vios 2012 g spec tyre, currently is bridgestone stock tyre 185/60r15. if i want to upgrade to 205 but remain using stock rim possible? or 195 is the max i can go?

if 195 which tyre size is recommend?
if 205 then is which ?

i am from klang. any best deal around. prefer bridgestone over Michelin as i found out previously using michelin on my previous car it wont last long. i like good pick up, good handling, 70% drive in town. fuel consumption not main issue for me since most of the driving inside town. sometimes will only use federal highway but distance is only around klang to PJ.

will re003 or size 205 overkill for me ? i pick wider car tyre as i think handling might be better?
*
205 will Kena the wall or not??? I using vios 2008 1955515. But 205 sure fuel usage up alot since the contact alot.

Usually only on highways. 20% city drive..

Sad to say, this tyre is not lasting... I had this on my ride for less than 10K Km, the thread left 40%. Note that I am only using my ride for daily use, not track use.

Try other brands I would say.

wa.. how you drive o??


Me around 5k still new to me....

Most of the time - normal. I am driving a ride on everything that's stock. My other donots I had used when it was stock was the Conti CSC5 with ContiSeal lasted around 50K KM.

Another 2 donots were Michelin Pilot Super Sport - already done 15K KM (used longer than the RE003), still looks like it has 60%.

Mind to take a pic on the current thread? Because less than 10k left 40% is like impossible... to me la.

Hi.
Newbie here...
Changing my original axia rims and silverstone M3
Planning to slap in advanti storm s4
Which u think is best
195/55/r15 or 195/50
Then for road noise, read it can be quite bad, can anyone give and further explanation of the level of "bad"

For threadwear.. My M3 30k km left around 20% already.
I travel on highway at 120-140km/h everyday, bout 70km a day.
Take corners daily also.
So would u recommend me getting the re003? How long do u guys estimate it will last with my driving style? Im okay if it can last 30-40k.

Wanted to get ps3, but the price tag of ree03 so attractive. Heee

Thanks all sifu
*
hmm... 55 / 50 is ok but... sure wont kena the fender?

and re003 wet isn't that good compared to ps3. but dry is excellent.

regarding the noise, the road noise is there all the time once you reach 50kmh. imagine my radio need to up till 35 vol during highway at 120 kmh

55 will kena fender if on stock springs. my springs are no longer on stocks.

wah
haha
cause my M3 that im using now is pure bad..... so if the Re003 worst in terms off road noise, i might consider getting something normal then haha... something that has a decent performance/ balanced with low level road noise. comfort not so much my concern

maybe go for a Cdrive or nanoenergy..  laugh.gif

one thing I noticed is that good grip to road = noisy tyre.

less rolling resistance = quite tyre like xm2

the lightning sign, the "sharp" edge there, still that sharp? Because this fine detail can't captured by the cam. Mine already got little bit blunt. Don't know is alignment wrong or not. and the outer side quite rough surface. like moon surface, not that bad la. but rough...
