Hi guys, just surveying for new tires for my MyVi 1.3 X when it reaches 70K on the odo. Still using the factory Bridgestone Ecopia 175/65R14 tires.

Heard that Michelin XM2+ is good but would like to hear other opinions on brands and tire sizes as well Thanks

I too never do the often-pronounced practice of tyre rotations since installation of my respective tyres .....
meaning the 4 tyres on my Avanza are today still in their original location since installation.

Besides, my previous set of 105-110k km XM2 (Front axle) had a residual tread depth of about 2 mm, well higher than the factory recommended criteria of replacement upon reaching tyre wear indicator at 1.6 mm depth.

Your 40k replacement of Goodyear was likely at a tread depth well very much higher than 1.6 mm tire wear indicator recommended of factory, just my speculation.

I think majority of car owners on this board and general public are brain-washed to have their tyres replaced at say, 3-4 mm of residual tyre tread depth for whatever insurance/feel shiok reasons which imo is contrary to recommendations of ALL tyre manufacturers and hence I humbly consider the actual practice a wasteful consideration.

Tyre manufacturers should be smarter right?

For 195/50 R15, between XM2+ or PS3 (since PS4 don't have 15) which one to go? CC6 no good now?

Current tire Kruizer at 20k usage, usage okey for me but want more quiet.

I think Dunlop J5 already replace by J6, ask for the J6 model.
Anyway i am using Yokohama BlueEarth ES32 for my Kelisa, it is also a good choice for daily comfort drive.
Yokohama might be pricier compare to Dunlop due to imported.

Time to change my Dad HRV tire soon.
OEM size is 215/55R17 17x7 rim Dunlop Sport Maxx 050. Can i upsize to 225/55R17?
If 225 more size options. Looking at MC6, T005A or Yoko( But yoko dont know which one)
Grip, comfort and quiet.
Thx...

hi any sifu tried both PS4 and hankook s1 evo3 before?
is there significant diff that can tell from this 2 tyre?

coming from 225/40/18 ps4.. thinking to switch to cheaper tyre, economy no good..

Any recommend for tires 205 45 R16 below rm250 with installation?

Sifus any recommendations for 235/40/18?
Nowadays too many brands and even famous brands have local manufacturing so not sure which is good

Posted this on Mazda3 thread but thought here may have other feedback...

Time to change my tyre after almost 3 years. Currently the stock Toyo clocked about 45000km and starts giving some sound in the carpark when turning, probably an early indicator.

Considering Primacy 4 or Pilot Sport 4.. I can see there's a lot of comparison but still can't visualise if Primacy is enough for me. Was thinking of PS4 all the while (safe bet) but if Primacy is enough for my driving style, may wanna try the touring option for comfort (yes, top 2 reasons are wanna try out how big is the diff of comfort and noise reduce while not severely sacrificing high speed handling).

My usual style is....
+ 130 to 150 on NKVE, Elite or MEX straight road (dry with little traffic)
+ 110 to 120+ on the highways above (wet)
+ Slightly reduce speed on highway cornering (more during wet. There's once I unintentionally went into those on 130 during rain, skid for awhile. No more 130 corner during wet from then)
+ 70+ during highway exit corners
+ No fast cut into Hairpins, very careful on hills
+ Max hit 170km, only once in my life. A few 160s, but usually stays below 155

Not sure if Primacy can handle the above? Or need Pilot Sport 4? Toyo Proxes T1 Sport and PS4 are both AA traction while Primacy is only A....quite worry if it's severely affecting my confidence especially exceeding 130km...

Not to say can't survive with reduced handling as I had been on Myvi with XM2 at 130 too, but confident level is extremely shaky so I don't reach above 140 that time. Only stays around 120 to 130. So just try to stay at 130 to 150 with confidence, like the Toyo have given me (very good wheels on handling despite noisy and bumpy)

Appreciate fellow forumers advises, thx!

P/s: btw is the above consider "spirited driving"?

Hi guys,

I'm currently using 215/45/R17, 17x7.5jj ET40.

Would like to upgrade to 18".
Any recommendation for 18x8J ET40, tire size and brand/model?

Oh, does it mean that on dry, both PS4 and Primacy perform about the same? Usually during Wet I will be extremely cautious.

Can my 15x5.5J wheel fit a 205/65/R15 ?

May I know where to get this deal?

Any opinion on xm2+ vs primacy 4st vs pilot sport 3 for honda city (15').

Driving style (on myvi 1st gen 14'):
- 130-170 on North south (100-120km/h on rain, don't remember)
- 100-140km/h on major roads/city highways when possible
- 60-80km/h on non major roads
- usually around 50-60km/h cornering. anything above 60 usually tyre start squeaking
- slightly lower speed 10-20km/h on wet condition.
- sometimes do hit potholes at speed (so tyre better not too fragile)
- faster than avg person on bumps.
- old tyres are like silverstones or other budget tyres. even drove with 4 different brand and 'flower' 3-6yo (well just realized)

preference:
safety/durability (in terms of fragility) > comfort/noise > durability (mileage).

Price is hard to judge. If xm2+ is sufficient of course best option since almost x2 mileage compare to primacy and ps.
Safe as in good enough wet grip but not too fragile kena non serious pothole then break. so far (10y+) driving no break tyre due to pothole (touchwood). Bumpy like tyre hardened is no fun. Noise? even budget tyre also seldom realized much noise (maybe too much road noise till not realized). best to last atleast 40kkm (all three of tyre above should pass this already).
I heard michelin tyre easy break/fragile is it true? Wanna give a try on these branded stuff as past experience only on (goodyear/silverstone/dunlop/toyo) budget tyres.

looking for advice for new tyres for Honda Civic X. My driving style is economical on the highway but I do corner VERY hard unlike most people. Current tyre is Continental MC5...very happy with this because its comfortable over uneven road/bumps and dry grip is sufficient but wet grip leaves much to be desired (especially in carparks).

Looking at a few options and all feedbacks are appreciated.
- Another Continental MC5 (safest bet...maybe)
- Michelin XM2+ (somewhat recommended? But I heard it cracks badly after a few years)
- Yokohama BlueEarth ES32 (I think Yokohama is a good brand? Will this crack as badly too?)
- Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 (recommended by workshop)

PS4 is not an option for me because it pretty much dies of in 2-3 years? I'm not interested in wasting money in something that lasts so short   

Hi all,
Would like to get opinion on the below tires based on my budget.. which one should I go for?

1. GY Assurance
2. GY excellence
3. GY eagle f1
3. Kumho ecsta
4. Hankook ventus prime3
5. Hankook ventus v2
6. Toyo proxes cr1

Yeah, not only no budget, this tyre doesn't last...so its not one of my preference. I made MC5 last 60k with hard cornering...imagine that.
But I stick it within the limit on the highways.
I am looking for MC6 and Potenza RE004 actually...but these models are quite difficult to find somehow.
Recently I visited a workshop and found Toyo Proxes CR1 and Michelin Primacy 4. I think Primacy 4 is quite a good option? Toyo apparently is on par and cheaper...

my tyre size is 215/55/16. Tried looking for MC6 but can't find it anywhere.

Actually regarding those 3 tyres...you're very off on the price there. RE004 tyre is the most expensive of all for some reason...100 bucks a pop more than Primacy 4. And the CR1 is almost 100 bucks a pop less than Primacy 4. at least for my tyre size.

RE004 - around RM550
Primacy 4 - around 450
CR1 - around 300

Oh thanks. But this tyre is year 2020...might be very old stock. I'll check around more but so far two shops quoted me 550 & 545 each...

If you have a choice of Primacy 4 and Potenza RE004....which would be your choice?

wait, Michelin would be longer lasting? I've had Bridgestone many years ago and it was the longest lasting of all the tyres I've tried. Performance a no brainer there 

anyone here using 245/45/R19 for suv.
any recommendation beside Michelin PS4 or Primacy 4 (too expensive rm9xx each)

hey what happen if I change my tyres to 225/45/18 ? right now using 225/40/18.

how about in terms of performance? and what tyre pressure should i use? is it same as written at the gas cap?

seems like 45 tyre choice much better than 40.

what is the current tyre recommendation for best-bang-for-buck tyre?

last time, around 4 years ago, hankook v12 was best-bang-for-buck, and it was selling like hot cake, every hankook shop no stock for this tyre, end up i have to get premium(in terms of price) michelin ps4 due to urgency to change tyre

now is it still hankook or other brand for best-bang-for-buck tyre?

note:
i have been using ps3 for 4 years plus until the side of the tyre like kulit kupas, now my ps4 also same
its time for my car to change tyre, but i dont need michelin ps cause i less travel using cars now...

bro, do u have any idea on the tread wear of hankook? not based on paper, but based on real usage.
sometime the numbers on paper can be awesome, but in real life usage, sucks...
