Silverstone kruiser is actually a good tyre. Lasted at least 3 years on both my Gen2 & Iriz. Only problem is that it tends to develop micro cracks on the side wall, but inform Silverstone and they’ll compensate you accordingly. Got a free tyre that way.

The lower end Silverstone in the 1.3s could be rubbish, but I haven’t experience that. But to compare with Michellin, Tripplemax, RE003 etc then of coz Kruiser is not good. But as a budget tyre, I find it’s good enough.

Quite difficult to get a good tyre at RM130. At that price, Viking ProTech, Achilles 122 is ok but D05 would be best.

My advice if you’re not urgently in need for new tyres, go look around and maybe you’ll be lucky that someone traded in their stock wheels. That way, you can get a good tyre at a bargain. I once got a CC5 for RM70 each bcz it was a trade in from a newly purchased car.

I didnt know we can actually get a replacement tyre if found faulty. Well i dont need high performance tyre. Just run well on wet surface, no aquaplane and durable is good enough for me. For road sound, well im kinda used to it.

Well actually i also looking into ur advice. I found 2 now which 1 is hankook kinergy ex another one is continental ccs6. But the ccs6 selling 4 at almost new price . 117 each for my profile. Quite expensive. Hankook however selling at 70. Hmm let me look around more

Yeah, I was surprised as well. I just took a photo and fb message them. Next thing you know a local representative calls to have a look and a voucher was issued. When the second time it happened, a PIC from Taiping R&D contacted to have a look and a voucher was subsequently issued.

Tried the same with Continental, because a visible obvious crease will form between the so called wet & dry threads of the tyre separating it right in the middle after some time. No response. Even sent in an email, took weeks for them to respond a scripted ‘if you’re concerned, you should visit the nearest centre’...

You can give Hankook a try since the price is irresistible. Trust your ESC if you unfortunately got substandard tyres. I only know it’s V12 was amazing since my bro once got it for his City but when I enquire for my cars it was super expensive...

I took a long time and patient to go look around. Finally i found 2 freaking almost new pair of conti ccs6 made year 2019. Each rm100. Gonna go and change tomorrow coz show almost close just now. Damn lucky biggrin.gif. Thread 90%, previous owner change due to change rim. Sadly only 2 left. They offer 2 dayton dt30 also same condition. But its a dayton. Need to do research before purchase coz the price he offered rm50 per piece. Tempting price but only if the review is right

Check properly on the CC6s since supposedly ‘soft compound’ tyre can easily suffer uneven wear if car is not properly maintained...

Dayton is a budget Bridgestone brand...I can’t help you with that since tak pernah pakai...but haven’t heard any good recommendations for Bridgestone in a while, so wonder how good is the budget...ultimately, no harm trying if it’s a price you cannot resist since car got ESC...

I check, there is no cracks. Regarding dayton, i read 1 thread in fnf in lowyat. It seems for big profile the tyre serve the owner a decent experience but small profile seems bad. Even some said "prefer silverstone compare to dayton". I will pass and change another 2 tyre of mine next month.

Btw i read regarding maintain tyre as well. How to maintain it actually? Need to apply specific oil or something on it to make it last longer without crack?

Park in covered area, to prolong the tyre.
But for rule of thumb, tyre need to change after 2 years of usage, doesn't matter with the thread left. As rubber can become harden and resulting no grip during wet.

Better spend some for tyre as think it for safety. I speaking to myself when face aquaplaning on brand new but chapalang made in Indonesia tyre, almost 360% turn at grand saga kajang on speed of 70kmh heavy rain. Luckily car behind all able to stop

Nowadays on Michelin & hankook for my other car.

Well that is something cant be done. My area open space car park. I agree, i only trust brandless tyre if the review is good. Well all brand of tyre start somewhere. Last time falken considered brandless but they made it to mediocre tyre. Even some model consider good. And the other way around for branded tyre. Some branded tyre produce poor performance model like the famous goodyear nct.

If u still wanna go there, i suggest u to stay and watch. Makesure they do it properly. Mine got 2 issue. 1 they didnt plug in the pipe back correctly which i already fix it. That one is easy coz can reach by hand. Another 1 i dunno where the issue come from. Need to dive and check. Here the no 03-8060 0158 moftech sdn bhd

Most likely it is condensation water from cooling coil. Normally the condensation water is led to outside cabin by a pipe connected to cooling coil box/cover assembly. Maybe that pipe is not properly connected or choke, or the cooling coil box/cover is not properly assembled back.

I think the 2nd problem i having is due to the box. I can feel water there. Need to check but really dont have time
