Ipoh...
sorry correction done...
eh... i asked at Klang last year only cost around RM210 without Alignment...
Another is PJ Kelana Jaya around RM250 if not mistaken everything include...

I bought my PP2 185/55 R15 for my Vios at RM175 at Klang March last year...


BTW any Yokohama/Bridgestone user here which are using 195/55 R15 or 195/50 R15 user...

please comment on your tires... i need to change mine... travel a lot... when to SG 2 times and Ipoh every 4~5 weeks...

as a PP2 user here i can say Good at all round... good traction at wet and good hydroplaning...
seldom need to hold the steering hard even raining like cats and dogs... I'm driving 130~140km/h tat time

what do you mean of the 2 listed???
sound.. you have to bear a bit on that as for the performance tires...


Yes you said are rite... sound is not really low for these tires...


what do you bought??? mind to share???


at this moment (11 yrs) of dirving... michellin never disappointed me...
i used stock tires of Vios... it sucks... 30% left... start the skid when i going down hill and brake...
Hydroplaning sucks also... thats y i never use that brand...
and seldom i drive car with other brands of tires... coz my dad is a michellin supporter...
as it serve us well and never fail to impress...

I prefer a little sporty, with good wet condition... tear and wear... er... not that much of a problem..
my PP2 can last me around 1.5 years... happy enough...
BTW i'm using PP2 at Vios and SEG also... both R15...
I wanna try Yokohama or Bridgestone for me SEG... for Vios i think i still stick at PP2...
coz good good wet test result... looking at the website for update of result...
unless there is any brand of tires have better test results...

PP2... try 195/55 R15... just better... a bit noiser still acceptable...
if you wan sportier... you can try Yokohama Parada... RM160 if not mistaken...


NCT5 Fly Kite... That day i wen to change my dad's Avanza tire... they say cheap and ok... NCT5...
i replied... i never wanna use good year...
been reading the Goodyear Assurance not bad at all...
but my idea was banned by my dad... now change to 15" ori toyota alloy rim... with XM1 tires... 195/60 R15...
4 tires RM200/pc with everything in... bought the rim for RM380 with Nuts..
BTW the tires just arrive from Factory not long ago... date 0309...

PP2 asked in Klang around RM210 if not mistaken... inclusive everything...
i heard that Puchong and Seri Kembangan shops give nice price also...

tires is very important which a lot of person did not put heart into...
I personally like Michelin very much...
Yokohama and Bridgestone not bad too...
been using Michelin since the day i started to drive... coz my dad prefer Michelin also...

haha... ya... not bocor la... still have thread mah... even 1mm also ok...
outside don have nvm... it still ok...

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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...

haha is like that lo...
that tire only can drive if you have <30% or <5mmmore thread left... less then that dangerous...

i duno... don feel comfort with Conti any more...
the choice for me is Michellin, Bridgestone and Yokohama... Toyo of course la... but expensive...
i think Bridgestone and Yokohama good choice if you want cheaper than Michelin

oh icic
but wear and tear Bridgestone is good...

Michelin... it serve me well also...

This post has been edited by michael9413: Apr 2 2009, 10:59 AM

yes...bridgestone lasting... but of course the ride will be a lot stiffer..

yes... so change your rim...
i have changed my SEG to 15" arbout 3 yrs ago... as u can see more and more ppl using 15"
so the price of the tires should be lower...

haha.. no need to be sad about tat...
you can always find a 15" sport rim and get that tire...

haha.. well you can ask whom might buy vios and city...
if they wanna change rim y not... take their new rim sat for 1000...

using 2nd hand rim or not is up to individual...

well i got my new' City VTEC rim for RM900 with my 13" sport rim trade in...
that is including everything with Lock Nut...
try to look at klang... look at the rim condition 1st la... who ask you to buy straight away without looking at sample...
my Avanza also changed from Steel to Ori 15" Avanza rim... RM380 include nuts... (just changed 2 weeks ago)
yes a bit scratches... but at least you got to use it... and very cheap price now
