I actually am impress with this model of tyres that i change the same model for my wife's car.
All tyre outlet says this J5 is their top seller (the shop i changed the tyre stacked the J5 until the roof- about 80% of all tyres are the J5 model) currently.

But my wife car is only 155/70r12, got it for RM 110 a piece.

Was using the GT Radial Classiro tyres.
Darn, it is so much difference campaign these 2 tyres. The J5 absorb the road bumps better, cornering better, steering feedback better and fuel economy also better. Also softer compound makes things more quiet inside.

Most importantly, the non-powered steering is easier to turn. Even my wife can feel the difference when she drives.

On a side note, because my tyre pressure is +3 PSI more, the centre of the tyre is starting to go slight more botak. The small line is now no where to be seen...

compared to CC5, which one is better?

I personally prefer the J5 compared to the CC5 (despite the CC5 being more expensive).

The only thing good about cc5 is their quietness. But some people told me the tyre "haus" very fast.
But i guess it depends on your driving la.

Anybody remember what size is proton wira stock type?

What is the pricing for the stock size if plan to use Dunlop J5?
*
Depends on whether yours is the Special Edition (last generation) of Wira or the old ones?

Old ones uses the 175/65R13.
While the SE edition uses a 215/35R16.

For pricing, i guess really depends on which area are you in, and what type of promotion the shop has.
Hope that answers.

Same here.

I just found out yesterday that my left front tire has developed a
sidewall bulge just several months old.

Dunlop J3.

The previous counterpart, SP 70E, apparently made in Indonesia, has
seems to be more reliable and has a good reputation on the net. One is
still on my left rear.
The quality of Dunlop tires has deteriorated since the days of the Aquajet
of the 70s to 80s and the Lemans J-Cinq in the 90s.
*
I guess those days, Dunlop has it good and bad days.
But the new model are licensed to Continental Malaysia for the whole brand. So i guess quality is better, and would be different than their international models elsewhere. And it is made in Continental Factory in Malaysia, thus i am confident to use it when i had the chance.

Never regret it since, and got another car of mine being on the same tyre too.

Hi guys just a quick question..
Just change to Dunlop D05 205/55 R16 (Preve, carry 3 person)
As for rear tire pressure do I pump 28psi or more?
*
I guess as a reference, use your original PSI recommendations. But i generally go up to 30 PSI on all my cars.

But i guess you can try ori first, then move on from there.

what about wet condition??
*
D05 is more for performance tyres.
While the J5 is more for comfort.

Surely the D05 is better, but also more expensive, and only can use it above 15 inch.
So depending on your pocket also lah...

How are you guys feeling with other sizes?
Happy with what you have?

Do share your experience, as this is where we share ideas and thoughts, for others to benefit them.
Just a user here that is impressed with this model of tyres.

My tyres centre part starting to boats due to slightly over-inflate my tyres. Using 33 PSI normally, maybe that is why.
Haha.

Thx man

Been asking around. Seem like i cant get a good price for J5. Rm170 for 195/60/15

Getting goodyear if im paying that price
*
I got myself the same size for RM195 a piece!
Surely you are getting a better price compared to me already.
But mine is already about 1 year now...

Even got it for my wife's car because it makes a big difference even by the way it turns corner.
So much easier.

Thanks. That's a bargain. In JB lowest can go is RM190 exlcude GST.

I got feedback from an authorized Dunlop dealer, they are saying that they would not recommend J5 when he knows i'm currently using the old CC1, they get bad review from customers especially for travelling long distance, instead get a new Continental CC6 which is just RM30 more.

I'm not sure if this is due to their marketing strategy or better margin. Perhaps an honest verdict.
*
For sure the CC6 is a newer and more comfortable tyre.
But that is more for comfort tyre though. Not sure about long distance travel though.

I travel with my J5, and i don't have any complain.

Seems like it is too soft. Make me wonder if I should change to this

Same goes to other soft compound tyres to be honest.

Harder Compound tyres would have stiff ride, and noisy road noise.
SO i guess choose your type of poison? Haha devil.gif

Just had my tyre replace due to excessive pressure leak from tyres.
Until it actually becomes flat and the sidewall is koyak liao.

The rest 3 of the tyres all ok (one minor leak due to something masuk in the middle).
Wondering whether i should continue with J5 or change tyres.

Besides, it looks like it is getting more expensive for tyres soon, because of our wonderful currency.

is your rim bengkok?
that why excessive air came out or faulty valve
*
Somehow the leak is from a sharp object in the middle of the tyres, patch it back and it is ok.
For the flat tyre, it was because the side wall too thin (due to some driving where tyre is flat, that causes the issue). So just replaced 1 tyre for the moment to see whether problem continue. Looks like it is fixed for the time being.

No, rim is still ok.

How does J5 compare with LM704?

user posted image
*
I thin LM704 is more performance type.
But i dont think i saw any LM704 being sold.

i think J5 is by Conti, so the character would surely be different, same with compound as well.

In that case ,the J5 sidewall is softer than the 2 above. So you might think it is shaky, but just due to softer sidewall.
Also means more geared towards comfort.
