Perhaps this could at least shed some light to some of us, based on our own feedback.

On what model of tyres we have used, are they any good, what seem to be the problem, how fast the tear and wear, how silent it is, hydroplanning resistivity, etc.

I'll get the ball rolling. Based on few different rides (and different brand of tyres)I've used.

1. (1.5-litre stock ride)
Brand: Michelin Certis
Size: 175/70/R13
Comment: Was good for the first 10k kms, noisier by day. Easily aquaplans.
Will I ever get one again? : No

2. (1.5-litre modded ride)
Brand: GT Radial Champiro 50
Size: 195/50/R15
Comment: Good, getting noisier by day (ain't that typical?), Good grip in dry and wet. Sticky when warmed up, no kidding. Worth the price. Dirt cheap at RM125 per piece in 2004.
Will I ever get one again? : Yes

3. (2.0-litre stock ride)
Brand: Bridgestone Turanza ER60
Size: 195/60/R15
Comment: Average, Noisy and aquaplans easily too. Fast thread wear.
Will I ever get one again? : No

4. (2.0-litre stock ride)
Brand: Yokohama S-217
Size: 205/65/R15
Comment: Soft, noise level is acceptable, Fast thread wear.
Will I ever get one again? : Yes.

5. (2.0-litre stock ride)
Brand: Michelin MXV8
Size: 205/60/R15
Comment: Still good, even on the verge of ending the thread wear.
Will I ever get one again? : Oh Yes.

6. On my colleague's car (1.6-litre modded ride)
Brand: Michelin XM1
Size: 185/60/R14
Comment: Very good, considering he whacks (read: takes fast corners and drives aggresively) the tyres almost daily. It's been 2 years plus and still going strong. Nothing compared to his previous near-disaster Silverstone FTZ.

7. On my brother's car (1.8-litre modded ride)
Brand: Bridgestone Potenza RE711
Size: 195/50/R15
Comment: Very good, but sadly the model no longer being produced, replaced by the GIII.

What's next on my list? The Advan Neovas or the GIII, if I have cash to spare.

neova's is the best for it price for a advance which is closer to semi slicks tyre (i'm using 1 now & never regret, just abit noisy & during wet abit not so grip compare to Toyo T1R / Goodyear F1 GSD3 but it is still better than alot of tyres adi...during dry it outbeats all those normal tyres)....or if u got the budget go order Bridgestone RE01R / Yokohama A048 / TOYO R888...btw RE01R, A048, R888 classified as semi slick already hehe

Are those Bridgestone RE01R / Yokohama A048 / TOYO R888 available off-the-shelf locally?

Btw, anyone has an experience with (local made) Continental CC1? Quite cheap for the size I want, but reviews ain't that great, 50-50.

MXV8. Just change 600 km ago and loving it. Not sure what's the tread life on this thing. Maybe someone can shed some light on it.

Good grip. Quiet. Abit expensive but overall good for tyres made in japan. smile.gif

The DoM of mine is mid 2004, thread left around 50% but still running good. Although I don't really whack as much I used to.
So expect yours to last a lot longer.

Mine is thai-made btw.

Nobody use CC1 eh?

Wondering how it fares. Mixed reviews in AW.

Thinking of getting it in the next round of change if Neovas or the GIII are still beyond reach. cool2.gif

I cover about 25k km a year. Most of them highway driving and I've cut down on aggressive driving now. No more whacking corners but still do that once in a blue moon. Ahaha.....Good to hear that it lasts so long for you. Hoping to be able to last as long as your's.

the best i used was toyo trampio 205/15/50 for my ol scool.bought it for rm250 each..for me it was really satisfying and grippy.didnt last long cos the compound a bit soft. perform really good in the rain also..been using lotsa brand after that, currently using bfgoodrich 205/15/60 for rear and goodyear eagle ventura 195/15/50 for front..both cant perform as good as trampio.when my car ready mebbe wanna try.i also got a pair of semi slick silverstone s575 and use it for some local drag events.now my car resting in the garage it becomes public use for my frens..hehe

TS - you sure XM1s are good ah? had 175/70/R13 before on saga - terrible in the wet, and on greasy roads, the tyres are skittish.

Kev, yup, based on my own and the driver's (my colleague) usage for the past 2 years. He has a really aggresive driving style on a heavily (internally) modded Proton C21. It was 185/60/R14 on rp01, custom adjustable on four corners.
His previous FTZ (195/50/R15) nearly led him to a head-on during wet.

But with the XM1, not anymore. No complain whatsoever from him. Or maybe he hasn't tasted the "higher spec-ed" tyres?

What's the DoM for the XM1 you used earlier? He got it just a couple of weeks old XM1s back then.

can't remember, but they were less than 3 months old for sure - i got them when they were first launched. i agree that FTZ sucks, but then again, the XM1 is supposedly a 'budget' tyre got them for 120 bucks a piece, though.

Yup, 135 a piece when he got it (185/60/R14).

I'm contemplated in getting one last time, but ended up with an MXV8 instead.

For daily use, it's the best out there, esp suited for our rainy weather. There's really nothing else like it at that cost. Only thing you have to bear with is the noise. Aggressive threads will always generate a lot of noise. Currently I'm using them and I love them.

Something is missing with the the Xm1's...i feel it on my saga1.5 as well....when it rains i just don't feel like pushing the car beyond 90...which is bad...considering the fact that i got em for 145 per tyre.....

Hi, I'm using Continental ComfortContact-1 195/55/15, they're like RM170 each end of last year. I exchanged my stock Goodyear NCT5 185/55/15 for them after hearing a lot of owners complaint about noise and grip. I don't whack corners (what on earth for?) and I don't go fast on wet roads (max 80km/h). My priority is a quiet and comfortable ride, and I feel they deliver exactly that. Initially had wanted Michellin XM1 or MXV8 (heard a lot of compliments about their silence and comfort), but they're >RM200 each and the shop owner recommended CC1 for quietness (yes I checked the manufacturing date, they're new), so I took 'em.

Will I buy them again? Yes, but I would prefer to try out other tyres first. My next change would probably be Silverstone Kruizer NS700 (supposedly comfortable; cheap too), Silverstone Synergy M5 (supposedly less rolling resistance and will save fuel; cheap too), Michellin MXV8 (newer than XM1; expensive), or the Bridgestone GR80 (comfortable; no idea about price).

Since he stated 145 per piece so I assume it's not a 13-incher.
14 incher is around 135 per piece so could it be 195/50/R15 instead?

G111. urs ok ahhh... my dads was ok till about 15000K, then start to harden liau.

to those who asked tongue.gif
my neovas are 195/55/15
but at hin leong (kedai papan) in dec 2006/jan 2007 (forgot liau la) at RM240 each. trade in my bald T1R (23000Km) for rm15 each (dont care lah, to me its a bonus) so paid rm900 and a bit for alighment (forgot how much)

FC ahh, haiyo, dont think much difference la... if compare High performance tires to another then it can be neglectable bit if compare with comfort and economical tires that has low resistance then there is a bit la. (but personally never used comfort tires b4)...

just off topic since i am free, just wanna give a summary of the tires i have used b4 in the past few years, may be a lot coz i got 2 cars to play with (currently a waja and a gen2)
1. falken 512 (good but thread will harden and will lose grip after 10K)
2. Brigestone re711, japan (the best tires i have ever used b4 neova's, threadwear was quite good, to me at least, and the thead did not harden that much over time which made it very consistant over time
3. brigestone G111, thailand, mixed feeling about this, good but then when u compare to RE711 which it was suppost to replace, i consider it a failure
4. yoko ES100, average tires, comfort level is still there but then it lets u trash it when needed, LOL
5. toyo gu:wn, character comparable with re711, abeit lesser in terms of grip in wet and dry but predictable
6. toyo Vimode, at last toyo came out with something like the RE711, the best toyo has ever made in my vocabulary
7. Eagle F1 gsd3 (thatland), hmmm. all i can say is good in wet... didnt quite like it
9. Avan neova, no need to say la... tongue.gif

got one or two more i think but forgot the model, michelin's, but nvm la tongue.gif
my waja is due for a change soon. thinking of yoko s drive.... any comment

soft sidewalls and the compound is a bit hard. smile.gif

R1 are made in philipines la, so i dont trust it, haha, just a personal preference, and u know what, r1 are cheaper than S drive which are made in japan, LOL, and R1 compound is a bit harder... so... didnt like that fact.

anyway changed to S drive in YHI singapore yesterday, i have to say they are not cheap compared to KL... but then again they are really fresh off the oven paid ard RM310 for them... in jb asked ard was abt rm320-340, guess kl will be ard 250-280

so far so good, need to run them in first, will give a short review after 500km's or so... heehee, initial findings compared to the neova's on the waja was that the sidewalls are a but softer but still allows spirited driving.

s drive still dunno how is it in the wet, no rain lah here, damn hot
hahaha
but in the dry is of course not as good as neova la, sidewalls are a bit softer but not as soft as t1R. i would say comparable to ES100, brigestone RE711. compound wise is not too bad. dry handling is good, but not great. sast sweeping corners taken at 130 in neova's could only manage 110-120 on S drives. overall not too bad for the price. but got to note that it is quite silent


why u want 14's? for what car

Same as RE001?

Got mine for RM75 each inclusive of balancing. Used but with 70-80% thread.
There were 4 pieces, but I just bought two since I needed just a pair for the front.

My experience (only those that i can remember):

1. (1.3-litre stock ride)
Brand: Goodyear NCT5
Size: 185/55/R15
Comment: It was an ok budget tyre (RM125 a piece year 2004) but it has the tendency to wobble a bit... The grip was medicore n aquaplanning is ok too... noise level is so-so..
Will I ever get one again? : Maybe if my budget is tight

2. (1.4-litre stock ride)
Brand: Silverstone Kruizer1 NS700
Size: 195/55/R15
Comment: It was a great at the 1st 15,000km... Grip was ok n aquaplanning is good... But now after more than 15,000km the performance dwindles, its easy to aquaplane but still great in dry... Bought it at RM145 a piece in early 2006...
Will I ever get one again? : Would like to try other brand/type but if no choice why not..

3. On my friend's car (1.3-litre modded ride)
Brand: Tornado (Funny brand)
Size: 195/55/R15
Comment: Sooooo not worth it the RM130 price tag.. The grip was so-so but the noise level is shakehead.gif It's like u have a mini tornado under ur car...
Will he ever get one again? : Not in this lifetime

Performs much better than the MXV8 during rain, almost as good as the Yokohama S-217 I used previously but could be attributed to the amount of thread left on this PZ-1, approx 70%.
Not much quieter OTR, in fact, it feels the same. the 70% PZ-1 has almost the same noise level as 40-50% MXV8. I vouch to imagine how noisy it will be when it's down to 40-50%. But which tyre doesn't? biggrin.gif

My rears run on the sucky Turanza and at one occasion few days back (on an open field, during drizzling rain, just testing out), I can feel the rears gave way much, much earlier.

My review:
My car: Inokom Matrix 1.8 (A)
Stock: 15" alloy rims with Good Year eagle NCT5 195/55R15
-noisy, heavy

Upgrade: 16" alloy rims (lighter than stock) with Hankook Ventus V8 RS 205/50R16
-less noise than NCT5, about the same weight with 15" NCT5
-cornering improved alot!

there's quite a number for 16 tire for around that price.

currently using Kumho Ecsta Supra (712). from some review about more or less equivalent to ES100. last time got offer Ecsta MX for 200 each (yup 16") but too bad i missed it.

review? not as grip from my previous F1 on wet tarmac.

RE01R on 16" 45series " around what price range? it might be an F1 replacement, but i bet the treadwear is not long lasting. i still think F1 is the most best tire to get and worth the money u pay for, treadwear also reasonable

Bought my car in 2005, Civic EJ, comes with Hankook Ventus HRII on all 4..

2005
Tyre : Hankook Ventus HRII
Size : 205/45/16
Comments : Good grips, acceptable level of noise.

2006, changed two front Hankook with Silverstone FTZ Evol8 (got 2nd tyre, 99% thread @ RM180 for two-piece , a steal for me cos short of money..
2006 : Silverstone FTZ Evol8
Size : 205/45/16
Comments : good grips, a bit noisy despite the so call beta silica to reduce noise. Good grip on rainy roads. Thread rating : 280 sad.gif

2007
- Changed the front FTZ to rear and bought new
Tyre : Dunlop Formula D
Size : 205/45/16
Price : RM225 each
Comments : Lower level of noise. Good grips. Thread rating 420!!!

Synergy M5 is quiet and very light (explains why it is cost saving). Not sure its rating though...

bro F1 how to compare with RE01R totally diff class woh....F1 is kinda overall tyres but in dry neova, re01r totally outbeat them notime...even in SIC neova can at least last 8-10 laps continuesly before starting to lose grip...F1 3-5lap losing grip adi la....on wet ofc'z both will lose to F1 due to the tyre is not design for high performance tyre very close to semi from the thread design u can see (take a look at neova,re01r,r888, a048 compare u will know wat i mean), where F1 is more towards an overall tyre

For example, if the tyre state 1007 that means the tyre is manufactured on the 10th week of year 2007.

Let me post up my reviews here:

1) Continental SportsContact 1 (CSC1) - 215/45/17
-> Dry road handling is up to my expectation & able to cater to my crazy-mode driving style. High speed cruising is great with these rubbers.
-> I would rate these tyres as silent compared to other same range rubbers brands.
-> Wet road handling is good enough for me & tried cruising along hiway around 150 km/h during downpour.
-> Threadwear is pretty good as well.

2) Continental SportsContact 2 (CSC 2) - 225/40/18
-> Superb wet & dry road handling.... thumbs up & recommendable to those who doesnt have budget constraints on tyres.
-> Very silent tyre as well even during spirited driving, doesnt screech during heavy cornering.
-> Cons is thread wear is pretty fast for its thread.

3) Yokohama A Drive-R1 - 205/40/17
-> Great for those looking for value-for-money performance tyres.
-> Able to give superb dry with moderate wet road handling.
-> Noisy type of tyres bcoz of the threads pattern design.

I can get a very good price for both the Continental CSC1 & 2 from my friend's tyre shop in Sg.Besi area. If it's still under promotional price, then CSC 215/45/17 will be selling ard RM280 (Made in Malaysia) & CSC2 will be going for RM370 for made in Germany ones.

If u would like to go for CSC1 Made In Germany, then it'll be the region of RM320 for the same size as above. Not much difference for CSC1 Made in M'sia & Germany as used both before this.

If budget is not limited then go for CSC2 as u'll love it during spirited driving & also during raining season.

bro, CSC2 got 205/45/16 size?
*
If i'm not mistaken, CSC2 only comes in sizes after 17". Smallest size i was informed is 215/45/17 for CSC2. If u want 205/45/16 then go for CSC1 which is the same thread pattern as Satria Neo original tyres from factory.

got any diff CC na CSC model?.....RM280 is a good price also... the tyre shop near where in sg.besi?

Difference are the grip handling capability between the 2 thread designs. U can notice that both tyres has different thread patterns.... CSC range is more onto performance with comfort matched driving mostly for executive sports range of cars.

Yes, this shop belongs to an old friend of mine & i can get good price compared to others. It's worth it for me as dont have to drive down to Klang just for new tyres. smile.gif

Hankook RS-2 also a good one, if u like the so call a cheaper ver of "AD07", but make sure the tire pressure is ~ 36psi in the front for street used.

Hv any one try the Kumho Mx or Federal 595RS? TQ.

The most silent tyre i've used is the Azenis ST115 but dammit, it only lasted me less than 5 months from the day i replaced it new onto my car. vmad.gif

Firenza ST-03 made in Japan tyres are also very silent since it's categorized as comfort+performance designed oriented tyres. wink.gif It's also very affordable as well but dont mistaken it for ST-05 which is made in Indonesia & this thread is the same as Falken Ziex 322.

Tried Few tyres before
will giv rating to these tyres

Currently using : Falken ST115 - 9/10 , nice grip in wet and dry. Good.

Continental CC1 5/10 -- Not really quiet, and grip really sucks.
GY NCT 5 2/10 --- Noisy, Grip worse than CC1, and important that this tyre never Worn out. took me 60000km to finish them (come wit new car)
Toyo T1-R 8/10 -- good grip in both wet and dry too.
Michelin MVX8 7/10
MXV4 7/10
Yokohama AD07 Neova 8/10 -- excelent grip on dry but not very grippy on wet. not really suitable for daily use but for tracking and yea racing , is a good tyre. and it worn out really really fast.

Added on December 7, 2007, 4:35 pmNext tyre going to try will be Falken FK452 i think smile.gif

just got new sets of shoe's for my car. the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE-001. size is 205/50/R16 and cost me rm330 per piece.

i would say it's a good all rounder. steering response is very good, good grip during dry and decent grip during wet.

but i think my next tyre change i'll still go back to yokohama advan neova ad-07. not to say i drive like schummi when it's raining and ad-07's performance in rain is still acceptable.

when its dry....woohoo!! ad-07 babeh!

anyone tried falken azenis RT615? How's compared to Neova? Can't make up my mind, the price is quite high RM670 for 16" 215. Very near to R compound tire but with better threadwear 200, what's neova threadwear??

i think the threadwear is somewhere 180.

So far officially it is still not available. Those who brought it in are the umm.. 'under water' ones, so called parallel imports. we'd just have to wait until Goodyear officially distributes it, then we'd know the availability of sizes.

Toyo Trampio
165/60/R14
RM130/piece
- Road noise is reduced. Good aquaplaning resistance. Dry grip is ok. Good OEM replacement for smaller cars.

Advan Neova AD07
205/45/R16
RM300/piece
- Loud on the road. Very tricky to drive in the wet; aquaplanes easily. Dry grip is incredible. Extremely stiff sidewalls contribute to steering responsiveness. However, there's very little audible screeching before it loses traction in the dry. Wears down very quickly.

Hankook RS2
185/50/R15
RM200/piece
- Overall feels very similar to the AD07 above, but with slightly reduced grip levels. Softer sidewalls. Compound does not hold up well to higher powered vehicles (>200+hp) during track applications. My RS2's started to tear down to the thread during a track day in Pasir Gudang.

Toyo Vimode
205/45/R16
RM250/piece
- Good wet and aquaplane grip. So-so in the dry; softer sidewalls than AD07 and less grippy. Overall a good OEM replacement tyre. Silent until half-wear.

Toyo Proxes R888
185/50/R15
RM280/piece
- Semi slicks for track/competitive use only. Corners like rails in the dry. Prepare to have nice compound spray patters around your fenders and front doors after a hot day at the track. 7/10 in the wet. Forget any aquaplaning resistance. Noisy as they should be.

Bridgestone RE-01R
195/55/R16
RM300+/piece
- Very good aquaplane resistance and wet grip. Dry is similar to the RS2's. Didn't use the tyres long enough as I sold the car shortly after getting the tyres.

Bridgestone RE040
185/55/R15
Price unknown, came with car
- Ok aquaplaning resistance, decent dry grip (7.5/10). Wet grip a bit uncertain. Road noise is quite loud.

actually the AD07s are not that bad in wet... maybe in the extreme wets where there are deep standing water it suffers a bit lar... but it still should perform well in both dry and wet conditions as it is still meant for street and not competition use...

i didn't have much tyres that last me long enough.. my current set is a el-cheapo Continental Comfort Contact... bought around same time now last year and going to change soon... the kevlar going to pop out soon... roughly 14000KMs... did not rotate front and rear... just left and right once every 2 or 3 months... if i did front and rear... i will need to change the whole 2 pairs in another half a year or so... now i am only changing 1 pair...

noise level considered ok
grip so-so (dry)
grip considered not ideal for many (wet)
price - cheap
value for money - excellent (at least for me tongue.gif )

i didn't have much tyres that last me long enough.. my current set is a el-cheapo Continental Comfort Contact... bought around same time now last year and going to change soon... the kevlar going to pop out soon... roughly 14000KMs... did not rotate front and rear... just left and right once every 2 or 3 months... if i did front and rear... i will need to change the whole 2 pairs in another half a year or so... now i am only changing 1 pair...

noise level considered ok
grip so-so (dry)
grip considered not ideal for many (wet)
price - cheap
value for money - excellent (at least for me tongue.gif )

Try giving Falken Ziex 912 (latest thread design) that's going for RM180-190 (195/55/15) in Klang Valley tyre shops. It's made in Thailand & very silent as well..... even more silent compared to Continental Comfort Contact.

Performance not bad for me after tested for bout 2000km since new. Reasonable priced tyres with above-average performance level suitable for daily driving style with some spirited driving once in a while. U'll know what's the tyres' limit once tried running with it. smile.gif

I would recommend Hankook V8-RS, RM159 each with your tyre traded in (Tek Ming) other places are normally around RM170~180 (where I had survey lah..not sure all other place)..

Silent = OK
Grip on dry and wet....based on my definition of grippy lah.... not sure how grip is your grippy smile.gif

basically this is a cheap, grip and quite silent tyre...tested for 9000km front, 2000km rear...

Any tyre recommendations for 205/45/16? Ive been looking for it but dont know which tyre is good yet pricing is reasonable enough. My budget is around RM200 per piece!:D

So far, there's a shop in Subang quoted me Silverstone Synergy M5 for RM210 per piece.

ok since u guys all comment on performance tyre, then i give a review on hankook XQ optimo that currently using on my car..

Size: 205-50-16

Dry road: reasonable grip that let me speeding @ 140-160 on karak highway. for unknown reason, the tyre should not be using with stop-go condition. it doesn grip much on watever cement. everytime wheel spin on the way coming out from condo. but on tarmac it's ok...the screeching sound are crispy and clear...like my tweet..lolz

Wet road: traction is good, can maintain the driving line at high speed..but dun expect to perform stunt

Performance: i will give it 5/10

Comfortness: 8/10

Quietness: 8/10

Price: RM250

Added on April 20, 2008, 4:21 pmYokohama Prada Spec 2

Size: 195-50-15
Dry: Good but bit noisy
Wet: Good too
Performance: 7/10
Comfortness : 8/10
Quietness: 3/10
price: RM185
Why change? sidewall too soft...i will damage the sidewall if i keep using it for another month with my cornering skills. only used for a few weeks then sold it off..ahah

My wira's a/b tyre first come out from showroom was silverstone 175/70R13'. A very noisy and always perform aquaplanning...but it is very affordable, rm90-rm100.
Then change to Goodyear Ducaro GA...good on dry and wet road, but after a while, it also noisy- RM125.00.
Change to Michelin MX, very good and grippy on dry and wet. Very silent but thread not lasting- RM135.00. Now change to front using Michelin Avensis (RM140.00), and rear Ducaro GA (RM125.00). Very satisfy with michelin especially during raining day in which it is very grippy on the road and silent.

gsd3 is not a good tyre, lousy.

I find it not very good on dry, just average, but superb on wet!

But I don't think you are looking for wet tyre, right?

Added on October 19, 2008, 1:09 amI know it from braking, MY01(lousy too) is better than it on dry.

So my suggestion would be A drive r1.

Dunlop FM901 (Made in Indonesia) also not bad for both dry & wet road conditions. I've been running with it for the past 4-5 months until it burst during cruising along NSE last month. Some retards slashed its sidewalls with a blade. Makehai betul...... costs me RM 390 each for 225/45/18 Dunlop FM901.

Currently running with the new brand of tyre, known as Pinso Tyres from Indonesia. I'm impressed by its performance during dry road conditions as it exceed Dunlop FM901, Continental CSC-1, Falken Ziex 912 that I've used previously. As for wet road conditions, be slightly more cautious. It's pretty cheap priced for 18" as I paid RM350 each for 225/40/18-93W.

you can't compare treadwear across brands since each manufacturer conducts its own tests and specs the number as such.

used pp2.. 195/50 R15
1. noisy
2. stiff sidewall, cornering feel is very consistent and no sudden break out
3. grippy in dry, confident in wet surface handling but not that good on standing water
4. did i mention it is noisy?
5. steering response isn't as quick as i have liked
6. brakes well in both dry and wet, though i didnt measure, but it definately kills NCT5 and Sime Astar

Michelin has low rolling resistance models for better fuel economy, forgot the model name, maybe someone here can chip in.

The Silverstone Kruizer I NS700 makes a good family car tyre (not performance tyre lah), good overall grip, noise, comfort & price level. Highly recommended by a friend who used it, but I haven't used it before.

hi to all the expert here,

I need help in choosing tyres for my cars. I totally have no idea which tyre to choose. for me save petrol and safety should be priority.
I have a wira 1.5 auto i think is using 175/70R13
and also
Kia sephia 195/55R-15 if i remember correct.

can anyone help to give some suggestion which tyres to choose and where to change. As for the wira i need to change all 4 tyres.

thanks

when you're using 195/55/R15...there's no way to save petrol. Unless you go for the more expensive brands like Michelin. However, I would recommend Bridgestone MY-01. I'm using it and its very good.

Don't go for Silverstone. All those advertisement about less noise, more comfort, more economical....bunch of BS tongue.gif

175/70/13 alot of brands to choose from.. pick well known ones eg michelin or bridgestone. if low budget then take falken or goodyear. avoid brands that start with letter S at all costs (eg Sxxx and Sxxxxxxxxxx) and also indon made tyres.. thai or msia or japan ones are ok

195/55/15.. falken 912 ~180/pc

Now only I realize that my GSD3, one is made in Thailand and another one is made in Germany. The Germany is harder and rough surface, the Thailand a bit soft and smooth surface and wear out a bit faster than the German.

MY-01 is super noisy, how about A-Drive R1? as noisy as well?

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

XM1 change since before CNY 195/60 R15 on waja & clock at 25K km. 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.

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 blush.gif , 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 tongue.gif

for the sake of others (including me) can share where u got 135/pc for ZE 912, since it seemed everyone is choosing it as best budget/performance/noise tyre. my azenis requires replacement soon sad.gif

PP2 for serious driving, has a harder sidewall.
Parada for comfort tyre as it has a SOFT (LEMBAP) sidewall - not suitable for hard cornering.

Stuff I used to be able to do with PP2 became really really scary with Parada

Wait till you are on the Falken 522 then u'll get a more accurate definition of lousy grip.

Really that bad, nearly change to these tyre as the price is RM127/pc compare to Yokohama parada spec 2 RM153/pc, so i have to stick to Yokohama parada, been using it for the past 2 years and it treat me well, no kembang on the sidewall or on it's rlling surface eventhough hit a few potholes occasionally, only recently it aquaplans as my parada is botak edi.

I been using Falken Ziex 522 for about 1.5 years (thailand made too) 235/45R17 so far no problem.
These tires are just all-rounders. I find them hard, and low wear/tear rate. Took the last 40% of the tread wear to sepang track. From tire wear 40% to 20% it lasted me 3 track days, and each track day i clock at least 25-30laps (hard laps).

Yes its obvious the grip is not there, the car felt hard to grip at high speed corners in turn 5, 6, and also even at turn 9 and 15 understeering all the way. However the price you pay, this the quality you get. Cannot compare to other more expensive tires, offering better grip, noise level, etc.

Currently changed to Good Year Eagle RevSpec RS-02, improvement in sepang lap times about 3-4s per lap without driving too hard too. Great tires to use, highly recommendable. Doesnt screech as hard as the falkenz too.

But one thing for sure, if I dont factor timing in lapping sepang, i had more fun with the falkenz in track. I can control when I want my rear to slide out and lock it back into the turn as I want. (Or it could be the case of using any lousy tires that has no grip)

Well, during on dry its ok. @ highspeed oso not dat bad. But during in wet condition... It tends to loose grip badly. I even lock my rear wheel which is on drums hmm.gif Weird... maybe it is juz a normal driving tires which I can xpect much from it as u said. nod.gif

If you prefer something for the wet, you can take a look at the RevSpec RS02. I was lucky enough to try it in sepang on a heavy downpour, and managed to hit 150+kmh on the straights without having much difficulties in steering thru the slight puddles.

car kept in the lanes even though going thru puddles at high speed. no doubt these are better than the Falken 522, lol but the price for 1 pc is probably 2pc of Falken too...

I don't want to be an english teacher but what you want is a tyre that is BAD in hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is the effect that you DO NOT want. So what you want is anti-hydroplaning qualities in a tyre.

PP2 is nice but compared to the Goodyear F1 GSD3 that I used to have, it is still slightly nervous in watery situations. I was driving to and back from Ipoh over the weekend and the tyre didn't feel too good in heavy rain as compared to the GSD3. It started lifting at about 120-130km/h in heavy rain, something that the GSD3 had no problems until about 160km/h. One thing I did appreciate is the quietness of the tyre as compared to the super noisy F1s.

haha... that's make me think twice... PP2 is nice which the noise is a bit loud only 50% but still bearable... but my V12 after 10k also i'm a bit annoyed by the noise, sometimes quite irritating...

for my PP2 anytime no problem... although it's should wears a bit fast but at least can last for 30k km no complaints coz UHP tire cannot expect the wear rate like normal tires...
others is Hankook V12 or GY GSD3... any other good anti-hydroplaning tires in the trade like PP2, my fren??? which have good traction like V12 and comfort like it, but not to noisy... please recommend me i might need to change my old toy tire to 195/50 R15 next few months as the current 185/60 R14 CC1 tires sucks...

no it is good... but for normal use... Traction A rating only never took a peek on it b4... i need something better with Traction AA rating...
BS MY-01 also not good at all Traction B only... cannot even compare to D-01 and others Luxury comfort which have Traction A...

I don think u have better tires at 195/55 R15 other than (Cheapest to Expensive) Hankook V12 Evo (RM190), Michelin PP2 (RM230), Yokohama S Drive (RM250), Toyo T1R (RM280), Bridgestone Adrenalin RE-001 (RM280), Yokohama AD 08 (RM400), Federal 595 Evo (Not Sure)...

if i not mistaken i got this set D01 @ RM160 (2 years back). actually how long need to change the tire? i know if the tread is gone then change lar, but then i'm trying to take good care of my tire like balancing, alignment every 10k so the surface is quite even not like last time i used GY NCT5 (same size) taking good care but both side still like "makan sebelah"
I heard that the tire will get hard and easy to crack if using it for long time.

plan to go for PP2 in the future.

what is ur drive??? if the front tire outer thread wears faster it is quite normal coz u corner a lot or do u-turn a lot... so there is nothing that we can do if rear tires then have problem also...
Try Hankook V12 RM190/pc it is better than D01... smile.gif

What's so bad about the Conti CC1? I'm using a set of 'em on my Kembara and I think it's competent enough. But then again maybe because it's on my Kembara, which handles pretty badly regardless of its tyres, making me not realise the CC1's shortcomings.

i was quoted RM250 stupid shop thought i was stupid, the shop is near by the City Call of USJ19...

@igor87,
bro if have a problem like bulging 1 of my tires have this problem... confirm when i take a look at the balancing machine, they call it 'bilateral running'... when the wheel spins is like 1 part of the tire is jumping... so becareful, might be my old toy is very heavy and it cannot support the weight and shearing on the sidewall... sad.gif

well if you wan comfort... try 195/55 R15, 185/60 R15 is weird size for new CT and Vios...
NCT5 u should throw away around 50% already since it's wet grip sucks...
try Falken 912 with 195/55 R15 comfort performance... value for $$$ if not mistaken around RM190 nia...
if you wan High Performance tire let us know again... but do mention Comfort, Handling and Noise...
rank them urselves so that we know which is ur priority... smile.gif

i'm using a brand new tire now (less than 500km)

Dunlop Formula D01 (205/50/16)

Dry performance = hard braking and hard cornering not that good, got sound already compare to my previous 40% thread left Kumho Ecsta Supra.

Wet performance = not yet done, but expect worse since dry already 'out'.

Verdict = Good for average joe family car, high threadwear 420 and cheap (slightly less RM 250)

Personal experience = More or less about the same performance with the Hankook Ventus HRII

I'm using the GSD3 F1 Germany made too last time. totally agreed the wet performance is great but super noisy later on. any other tire that has more or less the same charateristics like the F1 but quiet?

D01 is good for normal driving as it's traction is rated A... better than B rated BS MY-01...
GSD3 F1 is noisy... still thinking whether to try or not after this Hankook V12



@cchin8888 if you wanna stick back to 185/55 R15 try Michelin PP2...

yup agreed. D01 for normal driving only. imagine, very easy to get 'schreeet' tire sound on shiny cement underground parking lot when doing slow cornering, this not the case for Ecsta Supra AA rated

haha... try PP2, V12, S Drive or T1R... they will give you the sound also but never loose traction... smile.gif thats y i always look at the traction rating and the hydroplaning resistance also... PP2 still my best choice cos it is more quiet after 50% use compare to others directional tires, it's hydroplaning resistance is the best in the class also... better than S Drive, T1R, V12...
but now willing to try out Toyo DRB if it is nice and comfort... haha

Hi, I'm thinking to upgrade my tyre..
currently using GY NCT5 195/60R15.

is it adviseable to upgrade to 205/50R16?
the grip is improve abit(actually i'm satisfy with my NCT5 grip). but the tyre price is very very huge difference.
Michelin Premacy LC
15 = RM 280
16 = RM 410

Another thing.... if compare Premacy LC vs XM1, which one is better? i prefer more quiet tyre but the shop guys told me XM1 have better grip than PLC? As he said during raining, the PLC grip is very bad and worst than NCT5

I don't want to be an english teacher but what you want is a tyre that is BAD in hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is the effect that you DO NOT want. So what you want is anti-hydroplaning qualities in a tyre.

PP2 is nice but compared to the Goodyear F1 GSD3 that I used to have, it is still slightly nervous in watery situations. I was driving to and back from Ipoh over the weekend and the tyre didn't feel too good in heavy rain as compared to the GSD3. It started lifting at about 120-130km/h in heavy rain, something that the GSD3 had no problems until about 160km/h. One thing I did appreciate is the quietness of the tyre as compared to the super noisy F1s.

what hv u experience same with me which i using hankook V8RS, even in heavy rain still can speed up until 160km/h n it start to hydroplaning... really nice tyre, but currently hard to find dunno why...

V8rs is good??? haha out dated already lo... now V12 Evo... smile.gif but it might not be accurate as individual have different cars and setting...
but my experience is, V12 evo is not as good in hydroplaning as PP2... not yet try GSD3 might try at next change....
but am not sure about the quietness that bro sleepwalker said... GSD3 is Quiet... as directional tires is not that quiet...
my Vios Tire Change history... GY NCT5 (Stock) > Michelin PP2 > Michelin PP2 > Michelin PP2 > Hankook V12... soon duno...
from 2nd set of PP2 i share with my SEG with similar 195/55 R15... so after Vios season the tire until like 50% or when my SEG need to change, i swap the tire over to SEG and buy new tires for Vios...

no body will care about that la... u ask the police what tires size we use on wira originally i think they also duno...

haha... how about the rims??? actually for that HP u choose to use 17" it is totally wrong also lo...
that's y choose wisely... but what others UHP tires give you light weight??? or settle with lower traction tires??? it might cost you ur live also coz cheaper tires will not give you the grip u need, especially during wet...


@phas3r,
you still can use it... until it touched the safety ridge on the 3 linear big longkang

I was quoting the 17' as a comparison for price with the Primacy as the PP2 is much better tyre, not asking you to use it. I don't see any FC increase when I went from my old Goodyear GSD3 F1 to the PP2.

Check the tyre wear indicator that is built on the tyre. If you don't know what that is, google it.

nah bro... those who scare of FC means their car engine is not that powerful enough... all they wan is stylish as you know that a lot of Ah Beng here put 17" and use some cheapo tires... i saw a lot of times wira with 215/40 R17 but fitted with duno what brand of tire... sweat.gif wanna look nice only... don care whether it's performance is on the par or not...

still remember 1 case... 195/55 R15 on Vios told us he is using a good tire already woh, but in the end i know he is with D-01 tire ... sweat.gif well i can say that is a decent normal tires... even Bridgestone MY-01 is a crap for me... ER30 ok ok only...
so guys... wanna change bigger rims do NOT complaint about the FC on the tire

Original CT is with 185/55 R15 but that size less tire to choose... so try 195/55 R15 Falken 912 or Michelin Primacy LC... others got, but i won ask ppl to try coz the grip of the tire is not that good...
Falken 912 is the bargain, around RM200 or less if not mistaken...

anybody have any info regarding roadstone roadian ht tyres?

my company just installed them on my 4x4 and i have very little confidence in them.

btw reading post on the 1st page alot of people was bantering about the michelin certis saying it lacks grip and so forth. but i have no trouble with it but bear in mind that my car is less then 950kg in weight including the driver.

i guess the that tyre can really show it's merit if the car is light and setup properly. will be getting them till they are not in stock anymore. i just love them.

the replacement is the xm1 i think. any reviews on the replacement?

Am going to change tyre soon...
Currently the 14" rims still using stock tyres which are GY GT3 175/65 R14
I feel it's kinda noisy

I want my next tyre to be quiet. Not sure which brand to go though...

the available brands for my tyre is as follow:
Continental CC1
GY NCT5
Michelin Energy XM1
Sime AStar 100
Yokohama AA01

dunno which brand can provide me a quiet and comfortable drive...
please help biggrin.gif

Continental CC1 - Skip this.... i had 1 now but have bulging problem after 4 months use...
GY NCT5 - Wet traction fade drastically after 50% used...
Michelin Energy XM1 - Nice comfort and quiet but some ppl complaint it grip in corner not really good
Sime AStar 100 - Traction for this tire is not good after sometime of use
Yokohama AA01 - Nice tire with all round performance but it is not that quiet and also comfort for some ppl...

i recommend u to change to 185/60 R14 which u can get Falken 912 also... where it is all round tire with good feedback and of course nice pricing also, but it down side is u need to monitor it's tire pressure coz if it is not properly inflated it's side thread will wear off quite easily... smile.gif

I dun really mind the grip actually...
For me to be using one of the cheapest tyre in GY... which is GT3, I feel the grip is okay for me as I dun really drive that fast... so far the emergency brakes I make, still manage to stop the car in time. Cornering I always slow down my car. The only concern now is the noise level.

So if only focusing on comfort and quietness, which tyre should I look for??

Hi all sifu...... notworthy.gif

by following the post before there are some tires rated good from you guys.
example: BS RE001, BS ZIE912, Hankook V12, GY Eagle F1 GSD3, Mic PP2, YOKO S Drive.......
estimate will change all 4 tires in one shot around Aug ~ Oct.
currently ridding on Dunlop D 01 195/55/R15 on a Wira manual.
80 ~ 140km/h is my every day routine from cheras selatan to PJ jalan 222 and sometime i like to do some cornering as well.
which one suit me the best?? in term of the price...RM 180 ~ RM 220.

Added on March 22, 2010, 10:33 amOps!! typo error.

is Falken ZIE912

my comments on all the tires... and some base on reports and feedback that i heard...

BS RE001 - UHP Asymmetric Tire, a lil overpriced item here (RM250~RM300)... over all performance is quite ok, wet performance is ok but not up to PP2's standard...
Falken 912 - Comfort Asymmetric Tire (with a lil performance), reasonably priced (RM180~RM210)... good comfort tire with a lil performance feeling, but the down side is u need to check ur tire pressure constantly... it's shoulder thread tend to wear faster if the tire is under inflated...
Hankook V12 - UHP Directional tire, reasonably priced (RM180~RM220)... Good value with good performance, and it comes with a lil comfort too... it can beat numbers of competitor here as it's overall performance is good... it need a lil improvement on aquaplaning
GY GSD3 - Max Performance Directional Tire, price should be around RM250... great performance on dry or wet condition, but it is not that quiet though...
Michelin PP2 - UHP Asymmetric tire, a lil pricey for some ppl (RM200~RM250)... good performance over all in dry and wet, as it's aquaplaning resistance tip top in UHP class (travel in heavy rain over 100km/h no problem at all)... down side is the comfort level, where it's hard sidewall make the ride a lil harsh...
Yokohama S Drive - UHP Directional tire, a lil pricey for some ppl as well (RM240~RM280)... good performance in dry but need to improve in wet ... it's noise level not that quiet though...
**New Michelin PS3 - Extreme Performance Asymmetric tire, a lil pricey for some ppl (Promo period RM220~RM250, after that should be RM250 and above)... good dry and wet performance, comfort is not that good if you are on sport suspension setup... noise is acceptable for me...

well what is ur preference... D-01 is not that good actually most of the tire u listed is better than it except Falken 912 only... smile.gif
I used 195/55 R15 on my Vios and SEG... tires that i tried b4 is Michelin PP2 and Hankook V12 (now Michelin PS3) as i more into tires that rate 'AA' in traction, tire rate with only 'A' is not in my view eg. Dunlop D-01, Michelin Primacy LC, Falken 912, Silverstone blah blah blah... the worst BS MY-01 (can throw away since it was only rate 'B' only sweat.gif)
think urself... do you need a lil comfort? if a lil noisy ok for you? if yesin both i think Hankook V12 is the great buy since u prefer RM220 and below, BS RE001 and PP2 is good also but over RM220 budget already... if not GY GSD 3 (price should be over RM220) and Michelin PS3 (Promo price, RM230 PJ) is within ur look...

*Michelin PP2 and Michelin PS2 has been replaced by new Michelin PS3...

duno yet but Hankook V12 is still new as it only available on early 2009 only... Michelin PS3 is the latest which is available only on March... so until that time it might has new tires on the rack also... hard to say... but for me Hankook V12 is the one budget and it is grippy... but for me aquaplaning is not that good thats y i change to PS3 after 1 yr on Vios, and V12 swap to my old SEG already as old PP2 on it is about to change also...
do not look down on Michelin's old looking thread, it's grip and aquaplaning is close comparable to those directional tire's performance... smile.gif

My reviews for a few.
Been using entry level tyres all these while only. so please bear with me.

1) Continental comfort contact - Useless tyre. Please stay away.

2) Nexen N3000 - Good and grippy. quiet and comfortable too. But compound hardens after 2 years of usage. Very slippery and no grip towards the 3rd year.

3) Michelin XM1 - Quiet (quite) and comfortable. I reckon its a bit over hyped and over promoted. Not so grippy around corners and be careful when its wet.

yes XM1 not that grippy at corner especially in wet... straight line still ok...
all that is entry level so cannot demand too much lo...

CC1 has bulging problem and also bi-lateral offset... so skip that... has 1 set now still using it as the old toy is only for work and sometimes travel around Klang Valley only... i have another car for outstation which fitted better tire...

i think the best Comfort tire for 185/60 R14 that you can find is Falken 912 which is all rounder with comfort only cons is the side thread tend to wears faster if ur tire pressure is under inflated...

hi.. i'm new to this thread. What's the recommended tyre for the Vios 1.5s (ori size 185/60/R15). Some ppl recommend to use 195/55/R15 and some 195/60/R15. Which size and make is recommended in term of all round performance (wet n dry) and is durable. i'm considering Michellin XM1, Yokohama A.Drive and Falken ZIEX-912. undecided on which one?

912 is better in performance... 195/55 R15 should be the correct one but 195/60 R15 still within the +/-3% rules of the stock tires...

if you need all round performance u can consider Hankook V12 (195/55 R15) but a lil hard to find now coz out of stock...
or if you still can find the Yokohama C Drive it is another comfort and all rounder but performance wise is a lil loose to v12 if not mistaken...

all the tire u listed is comfort tire (entry level) except 912 which is comfort performance better than the other 2...

912 is better in performance... 195/55 R15 should be the correct one but 195/60 R15 still within the +/-3% rules of the stock tires...

if you need all round performance u can consider Hankook V12 (195/55 R15) but a lil hard to find now coz out of stock...
or if you still can find the Yokohama C Drive it is another comfort and all rounder but performance wise is a lil loose to v12 if not mistaken...

all the tire u listed is comfort tire (entry level) except 912 which is comfort performance better than the other 2...

Thanks for your valuable feedback.
I double checked the standard size for the current VIOS is 185/60/r15 (based on the stock bridgestone potenza size). Do we have to reduce it to 55 series if it's wider 195?
if compare C drive and 912, which is better, especially wet weather driving? i'm quite a fast driver.. normally i travel highway to work min 120-140km/h

then you should look for Michelin PS3...
that is much better as a performance tire... just tell them 195/55 R15 Michelin PS3... price should be around RM220~250 (promo, duno until when)...

if you are free tonite we can meet up at Sunway tonite around 10pm...
PM me if you are able to come... my old gen Vios with that tire and got 2~3 guys is coming also all driving Vios either Dugong or older gen... we have small TT to discuss tire and stuff...

If there are cracking on the tires, does it mean it's time to change?

HI all,

Im currently using Falken 912 @ 205/45/17 which was purchased at RM 270 from Klang.

I'm interested in looking for an upgrade for these Falken 912. What is the best next in line as an upgrade for this. When it comes to tyres, Im looking at:

1) Price - blush.gif Budget of no more than RM 350/pc.
2) Durability - something that its thread wont wear off so fast due to (1) above.. pokkai wan ler.. sad.gif
3) Performance - sort of an all rounder for both dry and wet
4) Noise level - looking for something that is not that noisy


I will most likely switch to 205/40/17 for this compared to my previous thicker 205/45/17. Any nice ones to recommend? I'm basically down to Potenza RE001 and Toyo T1R with a slight favouritism over T1R due to its reviews having slightly better performance than RE001 in wet conditions.

Please advise. If you have anything to recommend other than these 2, please feel free to suggest too.

Cheers

ur budget i suggest you to go for Hankook V12 Evo... overall better than T1R also RE001 as per feedback it's wet grip is not up to ppls expectation as a UHP tire... V12 had a better review than T1R also, should be around RM300/pc...

My reviews for a few.
Been using entry level tyres all these while only. so please bear with me.

1) Continental comfort contact - Useless tyre. Please stay away.

2) Nexen N3000 - Good and grippy. quiet and comfortable too. But compound hardens after 2 years of usage. Very slippery and no grip towards the 3rd year.

3) Michelin XM1 - Quiet (quite) and comfortable. I reckon its a bit over hyped and over promoted. Not so grippy around corners and be careful when its wet.
*
been using 4 types of tires in the past 3 months :

1.Goodyear GT3 - noisy, normal grippy

2.Bridgestone Potenza ER30 - better if compare wf GT3

3.Michelin XM1 - comfort... so so la, quite quiet

4.Yokohama A.drive - most quiet among thm, quite grippy oso, same ranking wf XM1 ( for me )

well bro it depends on ur how u program ur GB only... my fren Vios similar model with mine lag... sad.gif so he changed Spark Plug to Denso Iridium Tough, done full service and now he is driving it with spirited drive... after a while it should be better coz our GB is adaptive type and they will learn how u drive... if you do spirited drive always then u can feel the power a lil more coz it (GB) will delay the gear changing...

Honest piece of advice. No. It will not make the car more powerful.

Instead of spending shit loads of money on plugs, just buy cheaper ones and replace them regularly.

Talking bout tire, beware of continental tire series that from made in Czechoslovakia as they have high tendency to crack when under inflation or have high rate of manufacture defect..
go for those continental that made in germany or malaysia it is much better in terms of quality...

i'm using the exact tyre right now. 205/50R16. my review is, it's considerably good for the price.dry grip is good,wet grip is acceptable.went up genting during rainy days can feel slight understeer (but i was pushing it though).but after 4 months of use it started getting noisy.verdict: value for money
