Hankook thread pattern is very nice!

Can consider for my 205!

Hahah....as long it served  its purpose la bro! I am looking for 'value for money' type of tyre!

Rm270 for,the 225 and Rm360 for the 245. Bal and alignment all in! 07 stock!

Guys,

Currently, I'm using Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 tire, size 215/45/R17. This tyre actually consider good for me in dry and wet. Thread already reached the indicator,but still can drive. Noise level acceptable even now reached the indicator.

What is the best change?

1). PS3 - not sure still have or not since PS4 launched.
2). Hankook V12 Evo2
3). GY F1D5
4). Yoko Fleva

Thanks bro 6UE5T.

PS4 sure out of budget for this size, rm480 in Penang.
V12Evo2, I think around rm320 without GST6%.

Prices quoted few months ago.

Postage not an issue. Problem is which to find a tire shop willingly install them when arrived. I don't think any tire shops would like to help since I'm not buying anything from them.

Yes, bro 6UE5T.
Furthermore, they might charge more for the installation labour cost(no market/std.cost) and end of the day, is almost equivalent to the price in Penang.
Lastly, your old tires no trade-in value since I'm not buying any tire from the shop. Not worth the troublesome.

Actually, I'm reluctant to use Hankook again as currently, still using the Hankook Ventus Concept2. Wanna try our other brands. But, it seems the V12Evo2 really value for money and most probably, I will choose the Hankook V12Evo2.

I'm also looking at GY F1D5, but price is much higher than V12Evo2.

F1D5 i got quotation rm285 exclude gst

Just want to update everyone on my experience using the tire. While we are happy with the tire grip and performance, I cannot say the same about the quality and reliability. In 22 years that I have driven all sort of vehicles all around using many different brands, this is the first time the tire's sidewall failed after hitting a pothole - about three weeks after using.

I can understand after a few months, and guna tayar brand lain langgar macam macam lubang lagi teruk pun tayar tak pernah koyak sidewall. It's a new tire so I feel that the tire is not strong enough for Malaysian roads (if you make a tire that cannot tahan masuk lubang, don't sell it in Malaysia.

I reported and send the tire for claim with YHI - the distributor for Yokohama tires in Malaysia, and they refuses to replace the 3 weeks old tire saying that it's not the tire's issue. The technician told me he even had a guy who used his tire for 3 days and experienced the same thing - YHI won't replace.

The saddest thing is the follow up took a month for us to get a respond from them. So the next step is that I will both take it to KPDNKK Consumer Tribunal. Next time we need to change the tires for our cars, no Yokohama for us.

hows this tyre performance in 195/55/15

compare to Toyo T1R / NEO3 / DRB

How long you use these tyres?
Hows the grip in rain??

so you are comparing merely because new vs old instead of personal experience ???



if i can recall correctly previous for the donut of Yokohama A drive vs Yokohama AE01 Bluearth ( newer model )

my vote still go for A drive, i have both donuts in my ride.

the so call newer model / replacement model for A drive, does not mean better, in term of grip and durability also.

now surveying around to upgrade my current T1R, but im afraid the newer tyre cant perform better than current 1, so would appreciate user experience.

hows your V12E2 in wet grip and cornering ?

I found one seller in Lazada selling V12E2 215/50/R17 at RM373 (excluding valves & alignment/RM32), is this price competitive?
Or can anyone recommend other shops in Klang Valley area?

Ya, thanks.
Now I am considering whether to get V12 or GT Radial GTX Pro (~RM260/pc)

recently push my v12 evo2 limit the size is 215 45 17
is there any UHP tyre that perform much better or need to upgrade to PS4?

Can get cheaper, find OS Autocare in fb. Bought mine 225/50/17 v12e2 for rm 360 each without gst. 215/50/17 should be cheaper from that shop.

Bought 2 end of last year. Now I need to replace the 2 other tires. However there is no stock at all for Advan Fleva.

Which tire should I go for that will complement or is the nearest spec with around the same price?

thanks for the quick response.

205/50/R16

Anyone changed to 225/45/R18 recently ? Want to know how much.

Thanks... shopping around, haven't decided.

Thinking of Hankook S1 Noble2 also.

I'm going for a more comfort and quiet tire, since this is the highway cruiser. 

Sportier tires are for my other car which is for more spirited drive.
