Which shop is offering that price for FALKIN tyres 205/45/R16 RM230 and Contineintal 205/45/R16 RM250?

Which Falken model are we talking about?

yeah, i'm also looking for falken tyre ZE912, any recommended good tyre shop selling it in penang, kedah. anyone care to share some info with rest of us in this forum. thanks a lot.

Kedah which part? If AlorSetar, look for AS Wira.

Guys, i need some advise. I have an Altis with a weird tyre size 195/55/16 and many people have advised me to change to 205/50/16. May i know which tyre is the best? I want something which is quiet. Michelin is too pricey and the car does not travel much. Many people have recommended continental but i'm not sure whether it is good. Pls advise. Thanks.

so far s i know only continantal got ur weird size n it cost u about 35% cheaper than michelin PP2 but becareful wit it cuz da grip for it is not very good~

Dun change to 50series....stick to 55...I know cause I'm using 50 on Vios also very bad comfort over uneven roads..there are lots of it in Malaysia...and Toyota parts are Not the best of quality...only change to 50series if you wanna drive and corner faster than usual.

the tire wall height between 195/55 and 205/50 should be about the same with little difference.... wats the width of the 50 series u using??

Don't worry, i'll prefer 205 anytime

Since the grip not good, what about other brands? Good year?

The main thing for me is comfort, quiet and good grip.

then dun complain wen ur car lost power n higher fc wen u use bigger tire~

Like that should i stick to the weird size or 205/50?

i would suggest 205/50, it is better to go for common size instead of weird size

Apparently for 195/55R16, Falken ZE-912 is available for it, I saw some dude selling it for RM650 a set over here, but they are manufactured 2008 tyres.

I'm not affiliated with the seller though, just pointing it out

Alright

Added on March 14, 2009, 5:04 pmThanks for the link but i prefer a tyre that is as new as possible. Even the current tyre thread is still more than 70% but it's 5 years plus.

I heard falken is not so good. Is it true? If i compare with good year eagle is it better?

Of course compared to Eagle F1, there's no comparison, the ZE-912 is a normal tyre compared to the F1 which is marketed as a high performance tyre.

any feedback on the lousy 195/55/r15 dunlop sp820?

goodyear eagle r not at the same tier as Ze912, goodyear eagle is consider performance, and cost more than Ze912

if u want to compare, maybe u should compare Ze912 with michelin Xm1, goodyear NCT5, i dont think there's a need to compare with NCT5, OEM tyres just suck in term of performance, they r more towards durability.

I think there is no XM1 for the size i want in michelin. They only have PP2 and one more i can't really remember. Both are quite expensive. I've been looking thru continental. It seems ok but what u guys think?

Since both of u are quite well verse with it, pls suggest a good brand for me. Main thing is comfort, quiet and good grip. Thank you.

there's 1 more pattern which is michelin mxv8 205/50-16 but not easy 2 get n rare~

Xm1 not available in 205/50R15?

i'm using Ze912 now, so i know the tyres, actually is Grexer recommend me this tyres also, it make my previous OEM NCT5 like nothing when compare in term of noise and grip they said the grip of Ze912 in wet condition not that good, maybe my tyres still new, i found it so good, never skid before.

not to mention, the price of Ze912 r affordable, RM150 for 185/60R14 for my car
