well... i use to use nct 5 4 years ago.. it tear fast... 1 year botak habis... then i changed to Yokohama A520... yokohama grip is nice when start... then after u reach 50%... the tread for water to drive off hav finish... mean wet condition got good... it is noisy... but i used it for 2 year..
now i choose falken ZE 912... i bought it 3 weeks ago.. only 135 per/pc.. erm.. dun ask me where to get.. but it only cheap.. kekeke... Well pls dun buy japan made tyre as japan and malaysia weather is diff... buy thailand made tyre. the weather is almost same at malaysia.. my fren did research... buy tyre tat made by sumituno rubbers... it is better grid and soft.. ZE 912 is made of tat rubber... look at the tyre and it will said made of wat.. |

I tried to ask w/s to X-rotate my tyres twice but both times the different w/s say cannot x-rotate only can change front to rear or vice versa. The reason is that the tyre have arrow marking the rotation of the tread, hence if x-rotate, the tyre will be rotating the wrong way. Is this true? Coz I see get alot of advise even saw a poster in some tyre shop that advised X-rotation |

Wat i can say is good in quiet, grip & thread wear not bad. The performance is not good since it not mean for hard conering (pelampung type). Good for family travelling & long distance, bump holes also not spoil rims. Current upgrade to GAB sport AB + lowered spring to balance back the body roll of car when conerring.not sure how the xm-1 performs? its a 185/60 R14.... anyone wanna tell their experience? |

Changed 2 front tires to Falken ZIEX 912, with remaining Michelin Pilot Preceda at the back. Weird ride, since noise is all from the back of the car now. Used to be quite noisy, now only half as noisy.

Hi all, need some tips on my Kenari, I naver change typre from original, its nearly 7 years now
 , original is Goodyear, front ones are very very light liow. What would be good replacement? 165/55 R14 type, not planning to change the rims. I'm thinking of getting Bridgestone synergy m5 for less noise and fuel efficiency or another set of Goodyear. I don't drive the car a lot. Price around RM200 each is my budget. Thank yous!

well today i just stuck on falken 912 195/50/15.
overall pretty good, noise level...hmm...i cant really tell much difference between that and the previous xm1...going over 100kmh then it sounds different abit...but not necessarily noisier. comfort level also...well...since im in PJ most of the time...the roads not that bad la...so pretty much still ok. but then again maybe its also due to the sound insulation i put all around and my ICE |
