@yngwie

ps3 is it michellin?
so v12, falken 912 n ps3..which is ur choice?

anyone compared xm1 and bfgoodrich tyre? which 1 better?~ mine is 13 inch~

as bro yngwie said... i do not recommend any tires from Conti... i'm using the entry level CC-1 which develop bulging problem or bilateral offset problem after sometimes... or even when u hit a pothole it will develop this problem too...
if you want something lower than RM200 Hankook V12 Evo is ur choice but if you want comfort with a lil performance then Falken 912 is more suitable for you

haha BS that Toyota fit on the Vios is not good either even the Camry ones... those are entry level performance tires and it is not suitable for aggressive driver like ppl in KL... cos mostly we drive about 80~100km/h daily in some route so it is dangerous coz it is not giving you the grip especially in wet condition...
my Vios stock GY NCT5 sucks after 50% of wear rate even my Michelin PP2 nearly reach TWI already also is not as bad as GY NCT with 50% left...
Falken and Hankook is the affordable tires now but Hankook V12's price is hiking up at the moment coz the stocks are low

Ice Wolf i agree with bro yngwie comments... V12 beat them easily even BS tires on new Vios or Camry...
but for City i do not agree that u paired it with PS3 coz it will be less comfort than V12... every one know that Honda suspension is more on the stiff side so paired with a stiffer side wall tires is not that recommended, although PS3 is good with my Vios (NCP42R) but with Honda i scare you complaint about the harsh ride quality... if you don mind of that then i agree 150% that PS3 will be better than all of the tires in ur head at the moment, except certain Max Performance tires like GY F1 Assy, GY GSD3, Toyo R1R and a few others... as no test result compared PS3 with those at the moment...

abubin if you don mind about the ride harshness and if noise is not a problem try GSD3 u will be amaze with the grip it have in the wet i skip that coz my sifu said the noise of the tires did not pass my requirement


bro yngwie, i'm waiting for some test result on those also hopefully Tirerack will do some test soon

BFgoodrich is Michelin's lil bro, as mention by some ppl it's quality not bad but the tire is a lil harder than Michelin...

is it? i saw the michelin advertisement the michelin man don't have lil bro also....

haha... sub brand of Michelin...

thanks micheal and everysifus....

ok...so both falken n hankook gives comfort and performance? the only diff is the price is it?

anyone knows good tyre shops?m located in kl/pj... i heard hup soon or shun in sunway not that good...

I'm using Lenso Samurai 15" with Michelin PS3 195/50/15 on my saga BLM. My pals are saying that my profile is to low, may damage the rims even without hitting potholes. Any comments ?

if sked use 55 series lor..

they have branch at SS3 also

Falken 912 give you comfort then performance but Hankook V12 give you performance then comfort...

that is the correct size, 195/55 R15 is not near the stock size... no problem with Wira's on this size why should u???
remember if you don want this problem the do not upgrade it

already upgrade, . But there's no point worrying i guess, just make sure to be cautious while driving.

well should be no problem la... those heavier and bigger vehicle worry more than u... 18" with only 35 series and the rims and tires cost more than double of ours 15"...

hey michael,
hankook v12 evo for 16" still selling at rm250 per piece?
haha

should be below RM300 but not sure how much...

is it a good idea to buy and keep first?
cos price of dis tyre confirm will keep increasing in future

well depends how long do you want to keep... it is meaningless if you keep the tires more than 8 months, coz most of the tire will be 3~4 months old when you buy it... so after u keep 1 yr it become more than 1 yo stock already a lot of ppl don like, of course there is still ppl duno about this manufacturing date on the tires so they don care lo...
individual preference

@micheal sifu

comfort meaning quieter?cause my main need for tyres is quiet.

u seems to know a lot about tyres...from manufacturing to the little details...

RESPECT...

guys my ps3's were manufactured in 4909. Anybody here with much more recent mfg date ?

no la... i'm not sifu... yes comfort tires is quiet also but performance tires depends much on the design also
so if you want comfort and quiet Falken 912 is ur choice

mine also... seems like it is the 1st week in production but some of them for 0110 or later also depends on luck but advisable not to take tires more than 1 yo on the rack...

so, FALKEN 912 it is!! i guess it's less than rm200/tyre plus balancing n alignment right?

so how do i know how old is the tyres on the rack?i dun wanna get an old tyre too.

there is something like 0209 at the side wall... is the manufacture week and year... pls google for more detail urself my office internet sucks, damn F**Kin' slow
