Please change coz bengkak tires are dangerous. Some option you may consider:

1) Hankook V12 Evo2
2) Yokohama Advan Fleva

I am not keen on using Thunderer. Even if you are limited on budget, please at least buy tyres from renown brand like Hankook, Yokohama, Toyo, Dunlop, Goodyear etc.

need changed already.
as far as im concerned,the thunderer and deestone are very prone to bulg.
so avoid using those tyres.budget within 200+- can consider hankook v2/maxxis ipro/achiles atr sport/falken etc

Yea, ive been told by the tyre shop guy on that.
they claimed 55-series will sacrifice comfort.
My question is
ps3/potenza type can last around 50k km?
i think xm2 would but just looking for other options as well

Can try Nexen N'Fera SU1, Korean Made, High Performance Tyres. Affordable and Nice to use.

The maximum I can let you squeeze for PS3 is 45 - 50K, usually there are around 30 - 40K kms
Potenza RE003 is slightly faster to finish, I would say 20 - 35K kms..

XM2 can past the 50K kms mark, some even until 70K kms.

Hi all,

Looking for recommendation for tyre 205/45/16. (For 2pc)

Current
Front - Neuton 5000 (I think) 205/45/16
Rear - Achilles ATR Sports 205/45/16 <<--- Want to replace this

Any recommendation would be welcomed =)

my re003 ad 22k km. But the threads looks ok, I am dilemma whether to change to ps3 or not but the threads really looks good...
Still have 3mm to reach the warning mark.

Finish it 1st then change PS3...

I think if you drive normal2 only with good alignment and rotate at least every 15/20k km, the PS3 should last 45-50k km or even a bit more. I suppose you drive aggressively very often ya.

XM2 should easily last over 60k km.

hi ,

usually one normal good year tyre can use how long ?? mine is just 2 years and it seem almost time to change again ..

Depends on type of tires and how aggressively you drive.
If you use tires with softer compounds, then that tire will finish faster. The easier indicator of this is the tread wear rating, the lower it is the softer/the faster it should finish.
If you drive more aggressively/often push hard in the corners, then that also will finish tires faster.
So which Goodyear tires do you use and how do you drive?

Guys I am quoted rm 600 a piece for ps3 and goodyear f1 d5. Size is 225/45/18...which one is more worthy

None, coz you can top up just a bit more (rm30-50) and get the new PS4 instead.

if u wan to go for ps3,rm 600 is pricey.my friend change was offered ps3 rm 530 and ps4 rm 630.
at last he went for ps4.if u got ps3 at rm below rm 550 it will be more worthy.haha

Thanks all. In the end I went for ps3. As Tyre shop quoted ps4 rm 730 a piece.. Got the ps3 to be rm580.... Would love the ps4 but over budget.. After all ps3 is also a good Tyre just older tech..by the way up north Tyre pricing is really crappy

Used to drive the Bridgestone ER60, grip was fine, aquaplaning not so much of an issue.

Then I switched to XM2, and was rather disappointed. Wheels would lock up quite easily compared to the ER60, but I guess it lasts long...? Not sure if the added risk for accidents is worth the savings though.

Now I'm on Pirelli P7. In terms of grip they are fine, and when pushing them to the limit you can feel them reach it nicely, good feedback (amongst the tyres I've driven so far). They aren't doing so well with aquaplaning though, and once the road is wet I can get wheel spin in 3rd. Not ideal. And even though my set is only 4 years old, the rubber is cracked all over the place. Will have to replace them soon, even though there's still enough profile there. I think the compound already got hard, which is surprising.

For my next ones I'm looking towards the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, or perhaps Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Continental Sport Contact 6 something along those lines. No Pirelli P Zero for me, as it looks like I'm not the only one who has had Pirellis where the compound got hard rather early. I'm surprised by the Hankook results... that sounds rather good, and the price is significantly lower than the CSC6...

Winter tyres I won't mention here, because not really useful in Malaysia.

CSC6 is not available below size 19'. You can consider the new CPC6 instead, or the older CSC5 which is still an excellent tire even compared to the newer PS4 or F1A3.

Ah, explains why I couldn't find them. Not going to switch to 19"...

A friend used to have P Zero on his car, then switched to the Hankook that's frequently discussed here, and he's happy (first with an S5, then F-Type R). A friend of his also switched from P Zero to the S1 evo2, and he too is happy (Giulia Quadrifoglio). Then again the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy 3 are supposed to be great too, and are in a similar price range.
