Raining time then accident/lose control, then only want to kan cheong change tyres

For me, 195/50/15 Parada Spec 2 = soft sidewalls lah. Even at 38psi.

Loved the 185/55/15 PP2 hard sidewalls and sharp shoulder blocks (like "L" only).. but tramlining more noticeable for PP2 as compared to parada spec 2

yeap...thats why..mostly after raining/heavy downpour....can see cars got into accident...dat day i saw 1 police car bang civilian car.. ......not to mention good tires also play apart on braking and traction stability...

they dont even blame the tyres, they will say the other driver fault, this lar that lar, like they r correct....

u pump 38psi? that's a lot....i pump 33 in front and 30 at rear

not to mention, it's better to change all 4 tyres together, most drivers only change 2 tyres, if change 2 tyres the new tyres should be place at the rear for more traction, but many ppl dont do that, last time my father and my aunty also argue with me, so i dont bother them and convince only my mother to change 4 tyres together

u asking me ka?
anyway, i got it in taipan usj (bhind old twn coffee)..cant remember da shop name!! getting old liao
inclusive of balancing and duno how 2 explain (da thing where u pump ur air in)...
balancing around rm26...credit card no extra charge....got bonuslink sumore......

when i was bck in hometwn (taiping), jest went asking...was offered rm205...but credit card 2% extra la...

38psi? overinflate the tyre to make sidewall harder is wrong.

overinflate too much, that means the contact patch between road is less hence less traction...cannot even sapu Corner, less grip..skid like mad..

haha ok ok...
they have thread... but only linear (direntional) not pattern like us...

well any place to change Parada cheap??? I heard Seri Kembangan have 1 shop... RM160 only...
my Vios and SEG tires not that well already... just changed Avanza...


well hard tires does save more fuel... but also very bumpy... and not to say... sometime it may burst...
coz very pressure... they have spec.... careful...

mostly la... my cars... 34PSI front... 32PSI back... Michelin recommend ppl to add 2~4 PSI...
because of the tires will get hot after you drive a distance to the shop or petrol station...

but for PP2 i don recommend that hard... 34 PSI is the max...

our tyres also have "longkang" lar

tyres wont burst as long as u r not running on re-thread tyres, if the psi in ur tyres doesn't over the maximum psi supported by the tyres then is ok lar, my Ze912 can support up to 50psi, so i just pump 33psi in front, i think the max psi it goes up to is about 40psi only.

when the tire is hot as per Michelin info it is around 4~6 PSI more...
no worries... if you did not over that

Hi guys... I'm consider to change all tyre for my car myvi as the tread almost gone (2 year plus with distance driving around 42500km).
Currently my car is using NCT5 (175/65R14) and I decide to keep the stock rim with new tyre.
After read through the post, most people recommend to use Falken ZE912 (185/60R14) as it quiet, value of money, not much different on fuel consumption, etc.


My questions are:
- Other than get the tyre from Hin Leong (Klang - too far for me) or Hup Soon (SS3/Sunway), is there any place where I can get it from? (p/s: I'm from Batu Caves area)
- How do I know I get the latest batch of new tyre - Falken ZE912? I heard something like 3908 or 0309?
- Hup Soon offer me rm600 for four tyres, is it reasonble price? (not sure including alignment or balancing)
- If ask them pump nitrogen gas, will this be extra charge?
- (Out of topic) Is it worth to get wheel lug nut from them for rm100?

thanks

if u buy lug nut + 4 tyres u can ask them to help u free fill nitrogen, i do that last time when i change 4 tyres to Ze912 185/60R14 at hup shun....

1 tire shop at Gombak area..

pertaining to ur question on 3908 / 0309.... i dunno really got new batch on 0309...
just for ur information i.e. 3908 means that tire manufacturing week 39 for year 2008... so first number is week and second no is year..

Nitrogen gas - normally they will quote RM10... but forgot for 1 or for 4 tire... never pumping nitrogen...

RM10 is too expensive, normally they only charge 4-5 per tyres

yes normally they charge 4~5 per tyres...

hmm you must know quiet does not means good wet condition tracking...
you have to compensate with some of the Pro and Cons of the tyre...

Look at the ranking of the all season passanger tyres

but never use NCT5 any more... scary...
it wet condition performance sucks... remember not to drive fast when you are low on thread...

my side 15" n below except 4x4 is rm10 for 4pieces~
then 16" n above n 4x4 rm20 for 4 pieces~

where is ur place...
wanna try out... nit if any puncture how???
only 1 tyre without nitrogen

Correction..
Dun go >40kmh when ur low on thread with NCT5
otherwise u may get the chance of becoming a takumi fujiwara

haha... go down the slope...
with slight rain... you can activate you ABS real quick... trust me...
my Vios stock tire... throw away even have 20% left...

dont go more than >40kmh?
that's kinda fast....
hehehee

haha... for NCT5... with 20% left i suggest you have to drive becareful during rainy days...
especially at corners... i think drive 50km/h should be ok...
