QUOTE(Benck @ Nov 5 2008, 01:27 AM) Soya you had misundertood,actually the less tread means more grip because more contact on the road(in same quality and age). Tread on tires is to channel or evacuate the water away to avoid aqua-planning(aquaplanning means your tires floating on the water,no contact on the road,means you have no/lost control for the grip). Tread on tires also used to improve grip on muddy or loose dirt road,that is why off-road 4x4 car need bigger tread during drive on off-road. Well said, nice explanation.Why new tires at behind? If old tires at behind when cornering if you lost control at back,everything is too late for average driver,when you realize and the car already spin. Now if anything went wrong in front,your steering would shake and warning you very early there is something wrong with the grip,and you still can maintain control with the steering. But if behind? You have nothing to control. If you really concern your safety,just change all 4 of your tires. Then there is no more argument. If not then just don't speeding and stay sensible speed. Driving need lots of experience and attention. Ah.. another thing is really important,correct air pressure in your tires play important role too,result stable ride,control,grip safety,save from tire explode,save petrol,etc. Most of Malaysian driverĀ seldom check air pressure until something went wrong and blame the tires no good la bla bla bla. Believe me,ask them driver what is their cars correct air pressure. How many PSI/BAR? Some of them also use the air pump in the station wrongly,they simply just inflate pressed the wrong button(button to inflate punctured tire,the pump inflate to the maximum!) and drive away. How much air? They said it doesn't matter as long as can run then mo problem. Unfortunately lots of folks still doesn't understand why new tires should goes at back. Another point to add in.. some performance tyres sxckkss in the wet. Dry, it is king of the road..wet conditionk@x@sai This post has been edited by ralf: Nov 7 2008, 11:07 PM |

QUOTE(soyaben86 @ November 5, 2008, 11:34 am) umm..thanks for ur info..really helpful..but the tire tread u said..the lesser the better..is applying on semi slick tire??cause if i not mistaken the rubber is different quality wor..and there is once i use a totally threadless tire..i think is 0% thread left..the tire skidded with i brake..then i ended up kiss kiss the myvi very hard.. You're welcome,I'm just share my experience with everyone over here who do forum-ing.You miss one thing,the quality and age I did mention before this. If you're using the one 0% tread left tires which before this it actually has its tread 6years ago,then it is old tires already,the rubber had hardened,degraded by hot weather,also UV. Find one day and company your car's tires shine under the sun for 3 hours(if you can then do that as long as you can) and do that everyday for 6years then you would understand why 6years old used tires(even it still have 95% tread left) are unsave to provide good grip,unsave to travel in highway speed. I had to send condolence to that MYVI,it must be very sad for that new car owner. Next time when you bought a new Civic with your own money and after a week you drive it out to somewhere,then a uncle bang your car behind,I think you would be very sad also. Thanks Ralf True true,I used Yoko ES100 which have good grip in dry,weak in wet(no standing water on the road)wheel spin sometime during accelerate in my 100HP RWD sedan car. You can save your money by survey online,look for "tyres review" then you would be fine.

well..i also kind of sad seeing that brand new myvi let me kissed that hard..exhaust break..spare tire compartment dented until tire cannot come out..but kind of weird that the back bumper doesn't really take the damage..maybe because it's soft and can absorb the impact of my car..i plan to fix up the car..but that time..the myvi SE bumper itself cost rm700..so i dun really have the money to fix her car and mine as well..mine also used me up around 1k+
and about my tire..i think the maximum was 3 years old only..195/65/15..dunlop tire..it lost the thread so fast because i kind of do crazy stuff with my car that time..the front thread left around 70%..back totally threadless jor..so when brake..my whole tire come out smoke..but can't really manage to grip the road..then ended up crashing into the myvi.. |

Ok. ok,your tires condition is not that good because you punish them alot during corner,that punish made your tires wear out unevenly,force the rubber do too much of force load would cause tires aging/reach its life time very soon.
You can see smokes and the wheel locked up means you're driving quite fast,I use Dunlop before and I know how fast my vehicle speed and hard braking lock up the wheel can causes that much of smoke. I'm not going to comment how your accident happend because there are too many possible reason to cause that happend. Only 1thing you would definitly say "THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!" it must be something wrong at there,not me! This post has been edited by Benck: Nov 8 2008, 01:13 AM |

15" and 50 series is already way too big unless it's for a poser
I would say the perfect size would be 14", which is already 2 sizes up from his stock 12" wheels. |

Er... he's driving a Viva, so actually 14" is the best choice for getting good/decent tyres, coz 15" also limited choices, for normal sized cars, then yes, unadmittedly 15" is the best size for more choices.

In fact, for K-cars, the typical width is only up to 165, as even in Japan, the 17" models for K-car is 165/40R17 only, saw them on a Honda Beat running 17" wheels before.
