noted with thanks!

is there any impact if change to 195 from 185??

Hi guys,
I've been reading this thread and still can't decide which tyre to buy.. planning to change all 4 tyres for my car within this 2months.
Looking for 225/45/18. My total budget maybe around RM2,000.

Would appreciate if you can suggest for me an all rounder tyre, but more concern on tyre noise. Maybe the ratio would be like 65% NVH/comfort, 35% performance.

Thank you very much in advance.

P/S any review on Bridgestone Potenza RE003??

Hey guys. Just wondering what tyres would be good for a comfortable ride yet good enough to take corners without the fear of losing grip? Stock 16'rims

D5 is not something i'd recommend for comfort/nvh

any1 know does st3 fit into suv 225/65/17?

My Persona have been using Yokohama A-Drive R1 for 5 months @ almost 10,000 km. On dry road, as I hope so. But on wet, too much aquaplaning. When hit a very shallow puddle also can aquaplaning. Even NCT5 that I use before this was better on wet. Reviews from internet haven't state that this tyre that bad on wet.

What's wrong? Tyre pressure?? Usually pump 33 psi at the front & 31 psi at the back. The tyre not 'mature' yet? I guess 9,000 km good enough.. or I'm wrong??

Anyone know what happen to my tyres. It's hankook tyres, four side of tyres also having these problem

My previous Michelin ps3 also behaved the same, it happens after tyre about 50-60% wear off.
Mind to share what hankook model you are using?

My Toyo C1S 255/35/18 burst while travelling to Lumut 2 weeks ago. Had no choice but to change a pair as the other one looked like its gonna go soon.

Not much choice in Sitiawan. Had to settle for a pair of Landsail LS588 225/35/18 (mfg 4915) for RM500 each.

Initial impression for first 100km (had to drive back to KL on these new rubbers) tires were a bit slippery, maybe because it was new. But after an hour or so on the highway, can feel the tires wer gripping surprisingly good on the road, not that noisy too. Cornering was a lil bit cautious as it slipped a bit, maybe due to it being new (biasa la layan corner upon entering hiway hehehehe). It rained along the journey. Good grip in wet too, but was not pushing it past the speed limit.

Now its been 2 weeks, with nearly 1000km clocked on the tires. Good grip in dry as well as wet. Less noise compared to my Toyo. Surprisingly good tire for the price. A quick check on the net showed good reviews of the Landsail LS588.

Hi guys,

anyone can recommend tyre for size 215/50R17?

brand and price

michelin ps3 is around RM480 without gst for that size. overall excellent tyre but the price might be quite steep for some.

have any idea on the cost per tyre?

I upgrade from 215/50R17 Michelin Primacy (excellent comfort - RM400+) with 225/50R17 Yokohama Cdrive2(Nearly same performance with good comfort - RM300+). I read B/stone Potenza(RM300+) also good & for cheap price try Falken 914(made in Thailand - RM200+)

Overall Rating: 1. Michelin Primacy 2. Potenza 3. CDrive2 4. Falken 914
Long Lasting: 1. CDrive2 2. Falken 914 3. Potenza 4. Primacy
Cheap Price: 1. Falken 914 2. CDrive2 3. Potenza 4. Primacy 5. PS3

Other very good tyre is Goodyear F1 Assy.2/3 but all low profile tyre like 215/45R17 & other very good option Goodyear Eff/grip Performance but not available in Malaysia.

Preparing to change my peugeot 508 shoes.

215/55/17 prefer good grip and comfort of coz if can last longer as i use it for daily sales. My current primacy original came with car clock almost 54000km and still can last till 60k.

Currently what i have in mind

Michellin : ps3 : ppl complaint noisy, p3st make in thailand now.

Toyo tires or Pirelli which to go with?

hi bro, i'm planning to buy Michelin Primacy 3 ST 215/50R17 soon. you got any place with good price? i got one shop quote rm568 each.

falken 914 although its a budget tire...for 205/45/17 it has w speed rating...dry performance quite good for the price...wet still haven't try...if i can maintain 110kph during heavy rain its good enough for me as i can only drive 140kph in heavy rain(2 car distance in front cant see anything) on ps3...beyond that it start to sway

RE003 - NICE

dry grip nice... for me slow type driver.

wet also ok. but at 90, puddle of watter depth of around 8 cm, steering vibrate @ shake. but still under control. after that never go beyond 90 in heavy rain..

I know rite, stock 16" rims for Honda Jazz.... Out of so many brands in Malaysia such as Continental, Goodyear, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Toyo Tires, Michelin, do you still think Michelin's tyre are still best for high speed cornering and handling?

What model for Continental, Goodyear, Dunlop, Bridgestone & Toyo for size 185/55R16 available here?
May be I can recommend which model good performance.
The performance depend on model, michelin xm3 above average but not as good as primacy3. If average speed below 150kmh than XM3 good enough. Normally good performance tyre support big rim 17" above & low profile below 50 series

Alright, thank you very much for your opinion... I just realized Honda Jazz stock rims seems to be 16 x 6J, I was wondering if 195 or 205 can go with it?
EDIT:
I used a tire calculator online just now to compare 185/55/16 and 205/50/16, it shows a difference of 0.25% in terms of diameter. So i think should be alright where I will be having wider tyres but lower profile a little. Hmmmm 

Upgrade/change tyre size from 185/55R16 to 205/50R16(if your rim & tyre space can support), you will get better grip(handling, breaking & cornering) but not fuel economy & steering control little bit heavy in slow cornering.

Need some suggestions/feedback here.
Looking to buy new tyre for my focus mk3.
Currently using Hankook Ventus V12 concept 2.
Before tha stock tyre was Mic. primacy LC which was really good.
Tyre size 215/50R17
Budget between  rm350-450/donut.
Prefer quiet with above average grip (wet/dry) and stable at 150-180km/h on highway.

Some shortlisted
Bridgestone Re003,
ToyoT1R
ToyoDRB

Thanks
