nearby Tmn Ehsan Kepong got 1 shop charge RM40/pc for repair... but as other said, it might not worth the repair lar.. is all up to u..

after some time of using the Falken 912, i'd feel that the tires working in wet condition is not that good...

especially when after raining, there is still a thin layer of water+oil on the road surface, the tires seems to be easily skid abit. any 1 have the same experience on this?

those pool of water is more visible and u will take caution/reaction before running through. but when there is just a thin film of mixture water+oil on the surface after rain, it can really messed up your tires traction, and worst still lose control of your car. and then u'll see a taufu car drifting

i'll be bring my car for alignment again next week, and check the tires condition as well

nolar, its been almost a month. but my car run through alot of rough surface road (sg. buloh road is under construction). have to go check it up..

comparing the 912 with my ex-Barum

Noise Lvl:
912 win (less noisy)

Traction :
Barum win (in Wet or Dry)

Comfy Lvl :
Both Equal ( more or less the same)


but overall, the 912 is still acceptable for its price. as im driving an old car, tires noise sometimes really made u headache especially travelling on hi-way. just that u need more concerntration/control in wet weathers.

ya, the 1 with arrow thread. bought that 2 years ago at Jln.222 PJ for RM163/pcs

yup, thast the one....

see my avatar, SEG '95

but the price is 2 years ago, didnt go back there since i know how to go klang

but consider their price and the location, its reasonable cheap compare going all the way to klang lar

nah... no money for SVT or BT, just stock 4A-FE only
am planning to sell it and maybe get a City... much better FC and value

what kind of rim u are looking for? Local, Taiwan, Japan??? rim size?

depends on area. price start from Rm165 (in Jln Kapar, Klang). others area's prices might be more higher.

as i mentioned earlier, price may vary depends on size and also location of the shop.
u have to go search at your local tires shop, but cheapest i'd found is in Jln Kapar, Klang.

sunway or klang have some good variety of design and brand...16" roughly around 1k without trade in. if u got old rim to trade in, say a set of 15" then u might have 200 discount. go shop shop lah, no harm to see more design thats best suits your car

185/55/15 are most likely OEM tyre which come together with New car, u still able to find it in tires store. 195/50/15 and 195/55/15 are more common, price starts from RM150 onwards, depends on brand and model.

they bluff u lar... new tires also need to do alignment according to your car condition/setting mar....i think they dont have time to service u only

as i said b4, bring it to your nearby tires shop to do alignment. if u dont satisfied with the alignment can always go back to that shop, no need all the way go back to klang lor...

i'd been purchased my tires 3 times in hin leong but nvr do alignment there. few reason lar, 1st too many ppl queing up, 2nd is the above statement. atleast i want to fine tune the alignment also dont need go back to klang lor....

there is this time when i juz aligned my car with old tyre, then after 2 weeks i changed to new 912. guess what, the car still goes straight line without holding the steering, but my steering has tilt few degree to the right side.

it is always advised to aligned your car when ever u changed/rotate your tires.

i malas DIY this lar, later salah turning will make it worst...

directional thread tires some more 195/55/15, u wont get any cheaper than RM160. unless 2nd hand.

the cheapest i got is Barum Bravarius. its about RM165 few years ago at Jln222 Shell Station....

no worry lar...

15" taiwan rim is around RM800, if trade-in your old rim then got discount. and 15" tires, let say 195/55/15 is just RM165 Falken 912 or 195/50/15 Yokohama Parada Spec II for RM150. all the price is quote from Klang last year end....



so, total up is around RM1500.
