wow...

i'm only selling AD07 as follow...

185/60/14 = RM185
195/55/15 = RM255
215/45/17 = RM515

as i can see... the 15 is RM45 under market... and my 14 is newest stock (4606 and 4906)

may i know why u looking for this particular tyres? might be able to get for u a bit cheaper..

but seriously, i'd rather go with yokohama ES100

ok.. here's a neat explanation for what ever on the sidewall...

TREADWEAR = means how soft/hard the tire is.
- above 280 is quite hard tires and good for economy and cruising.
- 200 to 280 is considered softer tires and mostly performance based tires.
- under 200 is soft compounds, i.e Advan Neova, RE01R. Sticky tires. don't last long though.

the numbers...

for example 215/45/17 88V

215 means 215mm width
45 means sidewall is 45% of width
17 means tyre size
88 is load index (load index is the maximum kg per wheel.)
V is speed rating. there's V (up to 230kmh), W (up to 230kmh), Z (up to 250kmh), ZR(up to 280kmh) even R and S.

if u look carefully, there's one portion that'll stamp something like XXXX4606 (XXXX is some numbers and letter, i.e 2E4A4606) just need the last 4 digits, meaning 46 week of 2006 (date of manufactured) but sometimes they only print the 4 digits.

u can refer to this :-

yes... speed rating V and W is very common.

it's how tall the sidewall is. for example,

215/45/17...

tire width is 215mm
sidewall is 45% of that, = 96.75mm

don't believe me? go and measure it.

anyway, someone pointed out about the load index on tires. i've edited my earlier post.

hmm.. how the hell to tell shelf-life? generally, do not buy new tires which has been more than 2 years old.

no problem dude... i believe everybody should be educated about these.. at least the year of manufactured.



btw, someone asked me about continental tyres. sorry dude, i don't deal any conti because there are quite expensive to get and the prices are about the same anywhere.

errr... just ask me whatever brand/model u want.. and if i can get it.. i'll let u know

hehehe.. can't guarantee the cheapest... but most of the time it is.

hehehe

gouki... i'll let u know tomorrow

bro vtecturbo... i can't get TOYO la. sorry

Parada Spec 2, 195/50/15 got.. 55 series don't have la. dunno why they didn't bring in more.. it was selling like hot "pau" before. hehe

spec II bro.. not spec 1. should be around RM165/each.

Advan Neova 17 inch prices :-

215/45 : RM515
235/45/ : RM610

45/15 what size? 195/45/15? very rare size ooo...

215/50/17? what tyre? will check out for u. i think Eagle REv-specII got.

dude...

go with the Kumho Ecsta 711. very good and durable and the price quite cheap too. next should be the Silverstone Evol8, priced around 220 to 250 depends.

Jackie, if u ask me, the price changes from person to person. that's why i always go to the boss and ask.

go to Hin Leong in Klang. look for AhTee, the boss. always wearing hawaiian type shirt. hehehe should be able to give u good pricing and trade in.

how to go? just take federal all the way to klang, U-turn under the bridge in front of MYDIN, take left to Jalan Kapar. Pass 2 traffic lights, Hin Leong on your right side, in front of BHP and Shell. Damn big shop, orange color.

195-50-15 Yokohama Parada Spec II RM165 only each.

hehehehehehehehe

Eagle F1 is far more superior than FTZ la.. really recommend u using it. Anyway, look for the manufactured year, if it's anything under 2005, don't buy it. At least get something from 2005 or 2006.

dude, the PARADA is made in Philippines. Quality just as good as japs only compound a bit different and last longer than neovas.

195/50/15 Neova AD07 in stock now! Manufactured 4506 RM245/each
185/60/14 Neova AD07 also in stock now! Manufactured 5106 and 0207! RM190/each nego if take 4

195/50/15 Dunlop FM901 (indon made) RM130 each
195/50/15 Silverstone Kruizer RM123 each

** prices without installation aa... i only sell tyres **

the one in front of Southern bank, jalan kapar. that's the original kedai papan.

orange/yellow color shop... i think 4 shoplots leh. hehe

dudes, i'm not working for any shop. i got from supplier and keep stock at my house, popular sizes and tyres only.

ask for the tires you asked for, i'll get the prices if my supplier have em.

instead of the Pirelli dragon, you're better off with Neova or ES100 or even Kumho.

how much u got the dragon for? other alternatives :-
215/45/17

Silverstone Evol8
Kumho Escta 711
Yokohama ES100
Yokohama A-drive
Yokohama Advan Neova AD07
Good year Eagle RevSpec II
Dunlop Direzza D101

All of the above if at par or better compared to the Dragon.

can't go wrong with Yokohama. Proven!

blue.taxi

yeah.. it's an exact replica in design but not in substance. It's also have extra load rating, which means the sidewall is thicker and heavier.

it's a good tyre though.. loved it while it lasted.

Espionage,

Michelin PP2 don't have stock at the moment. so, cannot give price leh. later if stock comes and different price, hailat loor... hehehe

Barum is definitely better than NCT5 but it'll get noisy at around 50% thread because of the thread design.

My friend used it on his Estima supercharged before. very good grip on wet and dry. tried highway and also genting! hehehe

recommended if you're looking at local tyres but with a bit of performance on the side.

Espionage, I'll check the pricing for the Ziex and Kruizer tomorrow. Sorry la, today have to run here and there (family errand! haihs)

choiheng, enjoy your Neovas dude. thanks for your biznes!

espionage

sorry haven't got back to u. my supplier also bz la. my phone call also he never answer yet. haihs... anyway, i think since u're in klang already, u can check out those tyre shops in jalan kapar. most probably you'll find one within your price range. sorry ya.
