Hi LYN members, you know KL/Selangor area where can get Yokohama ES32? My size is 195/55/15.
Would like to ask how much for a pc of donut!

fitted same size for my old myvi at jln gombak near lepak king, rm 185/pcs...last year november.

Hi bro, how's the tyre? Silent? No aquaplane?

tyre so far so good,been running 20k oredi,oreviously using cc6...wet grip definitely better than cc6.

Yesterday change at Sheng Tyre Shop at Taman Sri Sinar.
1 about RM150 addon RM10 with alloy valve total RM160 comes with free balancing & alignment.

Tyre is too fresh ... 😑😑😑 production date 4721.

No choice tyre shortage.

Wet did not try yet but the tyre is more silent compare with Goodyear ATM. But I think silent not on par with XM2/CC6.

FYI, EU label comparison for 205/65/R15 tire (example)

Xm2+ better?

xm2+ much more expensive right?

For sure

I changed from ES32 to XM2+ 2 years back, comparing when new XM2+ is very impressive zero noise and I'm hearing my car suspension piss piss when driving 80-100kph, yes car soundproof not good you may say. While ES32 when new that time I feel it's not so quiet, not up to my expectation, coz many years back father used Yokohama I think Aspec A300 it was very very silent and comfort so we love it.

Now after 2 years of XM2+ with less driving due to MCO and interstate travel ban, it wasn't as quiet as new, I think just slightly quiet than new ES32 or similar level. Maybe as it aged it will become noisier.

bro can share location/contact?

I m using Yokohama es32 now very 👍 better than Silverstone n hankook in term of comfort n. Quietness the grip also much better

Reasonable price, good performance.

I recently changed 4 tyres to ES32 so here's my review:

It is a very comfort and quiet tyre but with good grip on the road. I haven't have the chance to try on aquaplaning coz I havent encounter any heavy rain but on wet road, the wet grip is very good imo. Dry grip is slightly less superior compared to wet grip but it is still good.

Since I have used some cheap tyres in the past, here's my comparison:

(bear in mind I only own small cars so all of them are less than 17 inch. Also, I do not include tyres that I do not regularly use like my sibling's SUV)

Wet grip: XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6

Dry Grip: XM2+ > Tripplemax > ES32 > CR1 > CC6

Noise: CC6 > ES32 > XM2+ > CR1 > Tripplemax

Comfort: ES32 > CC6 > CR1 > XM2+ > Tripplemax

Cornering: XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6.

Added: Aquaplaning: XM2+ = ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6

These comparisons are based on my own regular experience and I try my best to compare them when they are new (as far as I can remember). Aquaplaning is missing as I havent have the chance to try ES32. May update this comparison afterwards.

Edit: I will probably try another new set of tyres next time but if I had to choose between these 5 based on all these elements, price, longevity etc. I would probably go XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6. I will never purchase CC6 or even CC7 (I tried CC7 before on my colleague's car but i almost hit the wall on a corner during a wet day).

Also, I just drive regularly (120km ish on the PLUS highway and not too aggressively on normal roads.

Edit 2: I just drove in 2 straight pouring days and I purposely drove through some giant puddle of water. ES32 is very good in aquaplaning, almost identical to XM2+ in my opinion. I would put them in the same category coz they are just basically the same: no sliding or lost of grip at all even when drive through 1 foot of water.

I will still try other tyres next time but now, XM2+ is still slightly superior but more expensive so both are excellent purchase.

this is the kind of review I'm looking for! thank you.
I've been sticking to xm2 since 10 years ago, was considering es32 for some years now but always worried about aquaplaning and wet grip.
looks like i will stick to xm2+ now. noise and comfort memang no good but for safety, have to take the bullet.

thank you.

nice review
what tyre size?

185/55r15, 195/55r15, 195/60r15 and 185/60r15 i think. I cannot remember exactly but those should be quite near at least.

I am glad that the review is what you're looking for. For me, when I tried to find tyre information last time around, it was frustrating that some users just praise 1 aspect of their favorite tyre without providing much information regarding other aspects at all.

I think we should have more rounded review like this from lowyat users so that we can have better information on all aspects before deciding our next set of wheels.

Cheers.

ok thanks



because normally tyre got different tread design optimized for different tyre width

ATM2 split between 185/195

Did not know this. Thanks.

I never used ATM2. only ATM1 ie triplemax

Pro and cons ES32 vs SN832i, anyone?
