Thanks for contribution !

Dear friends, I need to change tires for an old car (Hyundai). The tire profile is 185/60R14. I was quoted RM150 for Silverstone and RM160 for Goodyear. Dont really drive long distance with the car, thus exclude Toyo (quoted RM185)

Any recommendation - Silverstone or Goodyear? thanks for the advice!

Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays!

Which brand of the tyre and why is it good?

Need advice and suggestions.

Any recommendations for 195/55/r15 tyres below rm200 each that provides good comfort and noise reduction?

u can try the new continental cc6

One guy got it for rm220 per piece. Kinda exp though. Can get ps3 for around the same price. Anyone got cc6 below 200?

you can try dunlop d05.. last time used 195/50/15, rm 160

really good grip in both wet and dry.. less noise too..

serious?average price is around rm 160.
in one thread i read they got it for rm 170 at sungai buloh.

Yea..most likely they raised the price since its recently released. rm160 for the cc6 and not cc5?

bought BS Re003 for RM190 exclude GST last month.

Oh nice. Location for the shop?

taman putra kajang

yes...cc6 new model.very comfort and quiet tyre but not sure it is durable or not.

Anyone know whether GY AS3 is available on the market yet? If yes, where can I get it?

Dear All, Just want to find out is Myvi Ori tyre 175/65/14 + sport rim can install to I10 1.1cc ? Currently using 165/60/14 tyre. Please advise. Thanks

yes.. a few shops have some stock.. one of it is quicksave in USJ

hi guys, anyone can help to advice me..i plan to change my rear tyre to (205/40/17) and keep my front tyre (215/45/17). Will it give a problem? offset 7.5
Thanks

can use but not recommended.the bigger size shud be at the back.

Hi guys,
any recommendation for "215/45 R17" tires? I always drive car to "beli sayur" + highway driving (at least 800km round trip) once per month. I preferred something with good grip during both of dry and rainny day as well, between that la.

How about "MICHELIN Pilot Sport 3"?

Say, 175/60R13. If I were to change my tyres to different sizes (without compromising on safety and the need to change rims), what would it be?

IINM, R13 means 13' radius. So i would have to to stick to this, or i have to get new rims as well.
but what about the '175', would it be okay for to look for higher range, like 180, 185?

Hi all,

Would like it to b quite, good grip on dry n wet and can manage some rough road so it does not puncture easily.

85% of time on city and Highway driving and remaining on some gravel/ tanah merah kind of road

Finally went with Bridgestone Dueler AT 697. So far it is better then my Silverstone. Got them for 460 a piece

Hi,

I am currently using a set of Yokohama Advan A460 Japan tires, but the threads are worn off.
My car is Hyundai Elantra 2013 and profile is 205/55R16.

Can anyone recommend any other brand/model similar to it?
Also, what are the opinions on tires made in Thailand?

Hi to all

Want advice regarding my new problem. I just change 205 50 16 falken 914 to 205 45 17 maxxis ipro victra. As expected, noise is very significant n ride comfort reduce as expected.

What is the most comfortable, quietest n lowest rolling resistance tyre with good dry n wet grip for my next change.

Or do u have any suggestion to reduce my problem for time being. Im driving ford fiesta 2010.tq.

Good grip dont come with low resistance.. thats what grip is.. resistance..

You can always use Michelin PS3.. good allrounder... Probably around rm400++ per pcs..

Thx for the reply, if ps3, might be out of my budget. But if i only want the comfort quiet n low resistance, what tyre wud u suggest?

45 series rubber and 17 inch rims is not known for comfort.. maybe u should stick with 50/r16..

Comfort there is Michelin Primacy 3ST, Yokohama Advan dB, Hankook Ventus S1 noble2...

That is not exhaustive.. comfort and low resistance is abit out of my league..

any diff for michelin Thai made with Germany made? sumbody told me the thai made wear very fast... is it true?

any recommendation for tyre size 225/40 18? is there any tyre better than ps3?

i think no difference.as long as both michelin ps3,same thread,the performance wont be different much. but for this size 225/40/18 is europe made if not mistaken.should be made in spain.

thanks sir for the info.. so there would be no germany made for michelin europe? sumbody suggest landsail tyre..very cheap also.. anybody using it?

60k km thailand made Primacy 3ST user here.. still alot of tread left...

Certain sizes of Goodyear F1 Assymetric 2 tires are made in Germany... F1A3 i dont know..

And. Cheap doesn't rhyme with performance bro.. value for money maybe la.. you are better off with achilles or hankook brand or even viking..

might have..for certain size.i have seen spain,france,czech replublic etc.
landsail is made in china tyre lah

Just a little word of advice to those whom keens on getting cheap tyres….
Cheap tyres doesn’t provide you with the grip/reliability that you need in the event of emergency. You may save some moneys in getting cheap tyres for your car…. But bear in mind, should you ever get into an accident because your car lost grip… the repair work will cost more than the money you saved from getting cheap tyres. And worst… if someone else got hurt…

The black & rubbery thing on your car is what connecting your car to the road… It’s the most important equipment on your car. Think of your own safety plus those in your car…

Tyre shop owner would say anything to convince you to buy/change tyres from them…. They don’t care whether the tyre is safe or not because in the end…. You wanted it, they supply it. They didn’t point a gun on your head & force to get it.

ya bro.. im totally agreed with u..

anybody knows where got sell michelin ps4? already launched at europe right?

hi there.wat is the current pricing for michelin xm2 175/65/15?
thanks

Is it wise to change conti mc5 to Michelin ps3?

improvement of performance in terms of grip and handling.

Hi folks, I would like everyone to have a look at my tires and provide your comments about them (Size 185/60 R14):


Front tires, installed late last year and covered about 10-15k before being rotated in May. After that covered another 8k.

RHS. Advanced wear on the sides. Common knowledge says this is under-inflation wear, however I have constantly maintained it at 33PSI and checking every 1-2 weeks.



LHS. Noticeable wear on the inside, some additional wear on the outside. Similar wear as the RHS tire only less severe.


Rear tires, installed early 2014, covered about 60-70k before being rotated in May.

Scrubbing, noticeable side wear and little cracks. Again, looks like under-inflation wear although I have constantly maintained 33PSI. Are tires supposed to start cracking like this after only 2-3 years? Its driven everyday but always parked under hot sun.

Front tyres.... Looks like alignment issue. When was the last time you send your ride for alignment? Best practice.... Send your car for wheel alignment, balancing & wheel rotation every 8-10k.

Rear tyres.... As you mentioned... its already 2-3 years. The tyre compound will eventually dries up & starts to crack over time. Also, our Malaysian's weather is not helping the situation.

There's another thing I would like to highlight here..... As I've mentioned earlier, the tyre compound will eventually dries up & starts to crack over time, this would also means that the grip performance will also deteriorates. So regardless, how the tyre still looks new after several years... it doesn't means that the tyre is still in good/prestige condition.

Which reminds me of an article about the real possible caused of the late Paul Walker's fatal crash...
https://www.yahoo.com/news/truth-behind-cau...-195132892.html

For the front, whats the suggested tyre inflation pressure?
Still looks like alignment issue..

For the rear, scrubbing happens if the tyres are not rolling correctly.. probably needs toe adjustment..

Also what brand of tyre?

Hi guys, i m planing to change 4 of my tyre 185/60 R14..Presa brand good? as the shop suggested, price around rm120/pcs

Please give some advise >_<

Try checking out with Quicksave.... If I'm not mistaken, someone once told me that they have them...

yes..saw it on their fb last month..now they promoting newly launch yoko advan fleva

suggested u look for branded tyre like dunlop.price range is about the same.

ok noted bro~ thanks for the info =)

Last alignment adjust was in May together with the rotation. What kind of alignment issue will cause wear on both outer sides?


For standard 13" is 30PSI, but i'm using 14" and 33PSI
What kind of alignment issue could it be?

Proton Wira can adjust rear toe ke?

Front is Viking, rear is Maxxis

This post has been edited by RigerZ: Sep 19 2016, 11:01 PM

Positive camber will wear out the sides.. or too much toe in..
Inner and outer or outer side only?

Wear on the outside is due to the chamber setting is on the positive side. How it happened? Hard to say.... the workers at the tyre shop did a bad job in wheel alignment... faulty equipment at the tyre shop (giving false reading)...... hitting pothole could also messed up the wheel alignment.... aggressive driving style (whacking corners) could be a factor as well.

What you can do now is send your for alignment again... to make sure the alignment is OK. And this time... try sending to a different tyre shop. Talk to the person whom did the alignment.... find out whether is there any issue with the alignment & etc.... Tthis way..... you'll get to know whether the earlier shop did a good job or not?

33PSI on a Wira seem to be abit high to me.... Sorry, I could be wrong here

Hi guys...if you only have two choices between
Hankook Ventus V2 and Viking PT5,which one will you guys choose?

Are u looking for performance or calue for money?

Performance go for Hankook..

If short on budget, go for viking..

looking for comfort and quite...

Probably the Hankook then..
If ur budget allows, Yoko advan dB.. or Michelin Primacy 3ST..

Front RHS tire have extra wear on inside + outside and quite bad.
Front LHS tire have extra wear on inside (minor but noticeable) + outside (moderate)

Rear tires both have extra wear on inside (moderate) + outside (moderate) + scrubbing

Or else, you may refer to the attached photos.

Stock 13" tire pressure is 30psi, if 14" should be slightly higher I think?


I spoke with a friend who suggested it may be the front lower arm bushings have given way.

Maybe u can check the shocks and arms.. also their mounts..

Ok..thanks for the opinion Bro..will check with tyre shop tomorrow...

Got quoted RM310 for Toyo 205 55r16 ... good or not? Kepong area

what is the tyre pressure recommendation for 225/40 18? is there any chart or table for references?
