For the 7th generation Accord, the original tyres are 205/60/R16 so if I want to change to 17" rims, what tyre profile would it be? I believe it'll be 225/50/R17? How much does that cost roughly?
Tires Price List, hope this helps...

On the first page, the price list between Toyo T1R and Michelin PP2 is only RM390 and RM380 respectively for 215/45/R17. If that's the case, shouldn't the T1R be a better choice?

That's terrible
 Normally when you change tyres, it'll include balancing/alignment but probably the profit margin from the tyres are too small so they have to charge extra. |

QUOTE(jagadis @ Oct 24 2008, 06:26 PM) Is it possible to change 1 tyre to a different brand ah? Normally people will do it in a pair at least but preferably change all four at one go. Why not you consider Hankook? It's cheap and I believe it's better than Sime?My wira's SIME tyres are freakin bad and the other day, 1 tyre flat already..so f to change.... I wabt to change to bridgestone tyers but unfortunately I dont have the money to change all four now...so maybe just change 1 first, then change the other 3 next month..  |

Anyone knows how much does it costs (roughly) for 225/45/R18? I'm looking at tyres like Toyo T1R, Michelin PP2, Yokohama S-Drive range, etc.

QUOTE(izso @ Feb 5 2009, 06:53 AM) I would say the PP2 has the shortest life span considering Michelin tyres are majority soft compound rubber. Great grip, poor lifespan. Maybe you should try Toyo T1-R then compare again  After that you'll see which has a shorter lifespan. |

Why V12 Evo?
I rather spend a bit more for proven tyres like S-drive which I feel has very good grip in dry/wet. |

QUOTE(amduser @ Mar 17 2009, 06:16 PM) i heard toyo T1-R is really good in dry, but it doesn't last long for it's superior in grip. I've heard the same comments but never tried T1-R. You can go for Yokohama S-Drive as they are pretty good. |

QUOTE(silverwave @ Mar 19 2009, 03:51 PM) I called Tek ming just now. He recommended Hankook V12 and V8 i think. One is RM286 and another is Rm245 for 205/55/16. I know Michelin MVX8 is good but it might be close to RM400. You can try Yokohama Any other brands to recommend? Continental? |

QUOTE(dedade @ Mar 22 2009, 04:57 PM) Thanks for reply, by the way I am 1st time changing tyre. It means you're trading your current tyres for a new one and no, not every shop do it Another question here. A lot people in this forums say trade in Old Tyre got some price deduction. How this work? Does every shop do that? |
