The normal size for the 15 inch are 195/50/15 or 195/55/15.....

The rest gonna be expensive especially branded stuff.

It available now from parallel importers..YHI is not bringing 'em in yet..

But take note...I got a very rude shock...AD08 for my size is 'made in Philippines'

Nearly traded in my newly purchased AD07 for that....so no deal.

I hope the ones YHI brings in are Japan rubber...have to wait a few months more..

Tomyam, Indon or Philippines tires sure last longer on our roads...but ppl buying AD08 care abt ultimate grip more than anything else...so I'm very pissed off to know AD08 have gone down the drain....but lets wait for the main importers YHI before anything else...

Added on March 8, 2009, 10:40 pmif you oledi used the PP2, going for the 912 or C drive you are going to be disappointed...

If i were you, I would go for the V12, S drive or RE001.

Why V12?...budget mah....V12 copycat from S drive...if got money...can always go for S drive...

Yeah...we are not sure which Falken...

One advice I can give....with Falken...only get the top range, top rated Ziex, Azenis and FK (ZE912, RT615, ST115 and FK452)...so that means...the rest are mostly crap (5XX and 3XX series)

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.

err..I used to lepak with Michelin fanz...I can tell you they are really single minded stuckup batch of ppl...haha..

For the 195/55/15....get the PP2...

XM1 for Mileage
MXV8 so call comfort
PP2,,high performance series
PS2..ultra high performance
PSCup....Extreme..

PS2 and PScup dun come in 15 inch bro...if got I oledi fitted..

Btw...what Michelin Sport Tire are you talking abt here...they have got a few..if go to Michelin tire shop...sometimes can see imported unknown models that is meant for other markets...so, I'm not so sure which one you mention.

I do agree..good all rounder...the first time I used I was surprised old fashion thread design can cut water that good...Michelin really did their homework....but I didn't like it so much because the tires didn't feel 'sport' enough...response time was slow (like grandpa tires), dry grip can still break traction (lucky still controllable), there is some resonance coming it to the cabin due to the variable side pitch, bumpiness was OTT ...what I really respect PP2 is the built quality even if its thailand, easy maintenance and good wet performance....its a very good OEM replacement...but I wanted more...so I went for extreme category instead.

I'm using Advan Neova AD07 for my Vios...will change to AD08 when it comes out...I love to corner really fast...so I expect the best grips in the dry..of course the stock Vios suspension has been upgraded abit....corners hard with totally no wobble...in heavy rain...AD07 is good until 80kmh only...so i drive sensibly. I change my tires yearly (or 30,000km)...so it will not wear down to more than 70%...still safe in the wets.
PP2 are good tires...but not exciting enough for me....response time felt slow (unlike the razor sharp F1 GSD3)...would make an awesome OEM replacement...i mark it down for its bumpiness and slight noise resonance.
AD07 is more bumpier...but more rewarding with crazy amounts of grip....of course cannot compare a high performer with a extreme performer. High performance are more all rounder...extreme more to dry.

Why V8RS?...that one is to finish the old stock....no kidding....now..its V12Evo all the way..looks like a copycat S Drive..but performance ppl. say it still above average..

I also wanted to get the Parada Spec2...but I get reviews the sidewall is softer than AD07...and the 'made in Philippines' just turn me off...if you like Parada, try its mama...the AD07...or AD08 when it comes out.
AD08 has steel reinforced sidewall inserts and better wet performance than the AD07.

I would go for the PP2 for that size...its one of the best high performance tires out there which has that size.

Avoid CC1 at all cost...CC1 is the lowest and lousiest Conti tire even built!!..Spoils Conti image...but for the sake of pricing, they still carry this...nuff said..
Falken 912 is OK...but dun expect to wack corners with it...912 is a good OEM replacement tire only....pls take note...never ever buy lower spec falken like the 3 and 5 series.

Becareful of the rear also bro..once it lets go...It really lets go...totally no control...

Go checkout the new Toyo DRB tires....looks like its placed inbetween CT01 and T1R...made in Japan of course..

Toyo DRB..check the pictures out...closeup....this pictures do justice to it since the 3D cut is shown clearly at the center groove,




Some ppl. say in the wet Vcut T1R is still better..but dry may match or exceed the T1R....with less noise too..

Expect price to be lesser than T1R by abt RM30~40 I think..sorry i did not ask the price while I was there.

Toyo DRB is 'Made in Japan'.

Price depending on size...

but size available can refer to here:
http://www.teamtoyo.com.my/toyotiresperformance.php

Not sure why, but they are using the same sheet as Vimode...probably the Vimode didn't sell well due to the T1R and so they created the DRB instead..

Oh..sorry..I forgot...in JB got lots of Toyo shops...I heard Toyo not so popular in KL...

Anyway...do check out their webby:
http://www.teamtoyo.com.my/Dealer.aspx and select Kuala Lumpur etc

Call first to check it out...saves time and petrol..

Go and see it...if the shop has V12 and Sdrive..compare them side by side...these all have the latest 3D threads.
Toyo shop also carry other brands..if not susah cari makan..

Please dun ask me which one better...lucky I'm not into UHP tire...its a dog eat dog world...I'm more into extreme category.

hehe...live with the ZE912...no choice...

Dun worry bro...after your ZE912 wear down there will be other newer tires...no point in changing now, unless you are extreme cornering kaki.

Errr..I got bad news...went to the Toyo Shop in Setia Indah JB
Prices are expensive for the Toyo DRB..let have a look..

Condition must buy in 4's and blc and alignment free..

165/55/14 = RM280!!
195/50/15 = RM300!
195/55/15 = RM340!!!
205/55/16 = RM360

Still can negotiate further, but I think can get only RM10 bucks less per tire.
