Morning guys. I want to know what is the best wet grip tyre for 235/50/18. Its for my forester. I'm thinking F1 Asym 3 as an major option now. With PS4 i can't find any suitable size even though I'm actually like it.

Get the Hankook V12 Evo 2, it's available for your size, it's much cheaper yet it managed to beat the F1A3 in the latest comparison test in the US!

ps4 can 245/45/18 which can be used or 235/50/18 v12evo2 available.
yokohama v701 is available for your size.

Michelin Primacy SUV. Are you driving the XT model with original size of 225/55/18? If non-XT model which comes with 225/65/17, changing to 235/50/18 would be a big difference in speedometer and overall odometer reading. At 70km/h, you would actually be doing only 67 km/h.

I'm driving the non-XT model and will be changing to 235/60/18 next week, which would be 71.5 kmh when speedometer reads 70 kmh. Am still considering between Primacy SUV or Falken ZIEX950 ...

For non-SUV tires, can SUV use them like PS4?

Thanks. Which shop you go buy the v12 evo2 tyre?

Unfortunately i just bought 18" te37 rim with 7.5jj. Max width is 235. I want the ps4 but no size available for suv. If sedan can straight away get it

I'm driving non-XT model. The stock size is 225/60/17. So its still okay if I choose 235/50/18 or 225/55/18. Smaller by 1.1%.

You can try check with this seller, they often post selling V12E2 inn mudah and their prices seem one of the cheapest.

Thanks a lot bro

i bought from this seller before.good price and service by kok.

Ok good then, thx for the info!
I remember there's another cheap one, Kopet Garage, but then you mentioned they were not good, giving different stuff than what's promised on the phone right?

I'll try to search there 1st... Thanks bro

I did search at Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 thread saying at teoh brothers meru shop did sell them. But dunno now they still sell or not. But I'll search the kemuning shop 1st since it nearer to my mil home.

yeah..they are along the same road.around 10mins apart.i survey this 2 shops.but went to kopet first.since he pusing pusing like roti canai then i drove to kok sport rim place.

Ha no wonder both pricing are very similar coz they're competing with each other!

what about 235/55/18?

Odd size. Quite limited choice even though its stock size for forester xt.

Yeap. Quite odd indeed.

Using yoko geolandar on my harrier. Thinking of changing to Continental, can I use passenger tyres on suv?

U can try as long it match with your current size but off coz can't go offroad with that tyre. I'm waiting my current tyre bald then only change to 18' wheels. Might go for the v12 evo 2...

It should be fine as long as you don't go off-roading. In fact on normal roads it will be the better choice as in general will offer better handling and grip performance. For Continental you can use this CSC5, it's one of the best in the market but be prepared to pay more since this is still made in Europe:

Can’t seem to find csc5 with 235/55/18 on lazada. What about toyo cf2 SUV? Quite new in Malaysia market, so far can’t find any review for Malaysia yet.

Go ask around tire shops la, don't just rely on Lazada coz I think Lazada will only have more popular sizes.

I never favor Toyo tires to be honest coz they are kind of overrated and overpriced just because many are imported directly from Japan. If compared to CSC5 I can confidently say that Toyo will not measure up! However I reckon that Toyo should be a lot cheaper too than the CSC5.

Me also thinking of changing my SUV tires on my CRV. Its 235/60R18. PS4 only max.45. Unless Primacy ST got 225/55, 235/50. I don't really bother about speedometer accuracy.

Just bought the v12 evo2 for 235/50/18 at rm487 including gst

Good, so how is your initial impression?

Can't tell much but of course much better than my mc5 tyre. Heavy rainfall yesterday.

Hahaha yeah of course, it is indeed a higher level tire than the MC5 yet at a cheaper price right?
Give it some run in time then the grip will be even better.

Dont mind asking what rim u change n how much.tq

Yup, need time to run in 1st. Just drive from shah alam to melaka. So far it perform better. Just my aligment man doen't like directional tire. Hard to troubleshoot than asymmetric tire.

I bought 2nd hand TE37. Price about RM5.5k without gst

Yeah they say directional tire is more difficult to align straight but I think not an issue. Mine just drives straight as normal.
Whoa nice rims man!

Yup hard to align especially japanese car can't adjust camber the rear wheel (only toe can be adjusted). 4wd suppose to have adjustable camber on all wheel so that it can get the best traction. Only German made car have this option as a stock car. Very easy to do alignment . Thanks bro. It took a while to find the rim with pcd 5 x 100. Quite rare I believe unless go shopping in Japan

I too am looking to change on my sorento XM, same size as yours at 235/60R18.... thinking of getting from Michelin.

mcihelin primacy very good choice for comfort and quiet.i believe not much performance tyre for this size.but at below rm 650 is quite worth to use.conti and yokohama also price range near rm 600 already.

Been looking around and for the size, indeed not much choices. CC6, LX2 Cross Contact, Dunlop Sports Maxx 050, Primacy SUV, Primacy 3ST SuV. These are all between 550 - 900 thereabouts. There are also in 235/55R18 sizes that can be considered such as the dunlop D05, Conti UC6. I am leaning towards Michelin though as I have tried conti before this. Just waiting for after June and see whether the gst is abolished.

Goodyear efficientgrip performance suv tyre , might be another good choice . Recently eyeing new shoes for my date-ed suv too 😉

Yes indeed the godyears also have good reviews. Anyway, a few days after my last post, I finally went to install Michelin Primacy 3ST SUV tyres. So far so good, very quiet running, very good and grippy but being new any tyre also like that. See how it goes at 6 months.

Hi , may i know the price of this 3st suv ? Size 235 55 18 right ?

So far i got listing 235 60 18 , michelin primacy suv rm680 . Is that comparable ? 🤔

What I am using now is the Primacy 3 ST SUV. You are referring to the Primacy SUV. Both different models but same lineage. I opt for the Primacy 3ST as now offer with voucher, so better value somewhat. The Primacy SUV is the newer version, also based on the Primacy 3 but having more cutouts to suit SUV and higher load ratings.

Thats a good price though. I got it at slightly higher at 700 with gst. and the size is the original 235/60R18. February 2018 tyres.

Thanks for sharing bro 👍

There is also the BF Goodrich Advantage TA SUV tyre. This particular set I am using on my company CRV using 225/65 R17 but they also have it in 235/60R18. Softer compound very hgh grip in the dry. Much cheaper than Michelins though.

Wow , may i know how much per donut ? Advise which shop please 😀

Those I have on the crv which was for size 225/65R17@RM430/corner. The sorento using 235/60R18 which I'm guessing should be around RM500/corner. Definitely much cheaper than the Michelins. I got mine done at the tyre shop next to the Shell Station, Taman Bukit Desa.

Bro, how about ur tyre? Can share some feedback after 1 year of usage?

Which tyre is best choice for Mercedes GLC? Run Flat tyre is not good for that due to the noise. Thank for valuable recommendation.

which size

If u have deep pocket u can try michelin ps4 suv... If not others has already give the best alternative
