QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Aug 21 2018, 11:51 AM) Normal flaking for tyres reaching the remaining half of their life. The outer thread is about half of the bump height more than the bump height. So it is about 15% tyre life left?Just reconfirm with the tread wear indicator (go along the line where the little triangle is). |

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Aug 21 2018, 02:09 PM) Technically, can last until the tread and the bump are same height. but when the difference not so obvious, should be about time to change. If more than 4 years, just change it because it has hardened noticeably compared to new under our climate. 86,000km. Planning to change at 90,000km or 100,000km.How much mileage you've put on under this set of tyres? This post has been edited by RicoT: Aug 21 2018, 04:17 PM |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 22 2018, 10:00 AM) You've got more than enough mileage out of those tires already la. Just change them before prices go up next month with SST. That's the problem with very high durability tires like what you have or the CC6 etc2., they already have cracking way before the treads are gone, hence it' better to buy better performing tires that will wear out faster. Having said that, your tire size is odd/rare one, maybe better convert to 205/50/16 so can have many more options. 16x5.5j rim, safe for 205? |

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Aug 22 2018, 04:28 PM) Yes, to save weight and improve fuel efficiency.QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 22 2018, 04:54 PM) Wah too narrow rims, cannot. Best is only 185/55/16 then. 185/55R16 quite small leh.Typical of rim sizes nowadays, go for diameter but narrow widths because they think people will easily get attracted to the diameter while won't notice the pathetic widths. Just look at Mazda 6 2.5 rims, so big diameter at 19' but the width is just a skinny 7.5j! |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 22 2018, 07:47 PM) If really want to save weight then they should not put 16' to in the first place! A 15' would save even more weight and more matching with just 5.5j width. It's all about following the fashion trend actually, because people/the market is too fixated on big diameter rims hence manufacturers also follow to try fit the biggest diameter rims in their car but then try to cheat for efficiency by using very narrow rims. 185/60R16Coz your rims width is only a measly 5.5j! QUOTE(zeng @ Aug 22 2018, 10:28 PM) So 205/55R16 is another option? |

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Aug 23 2018, 11:08 AM) After these many mileage, just get it changed. I see, will do a survey of what tyre available for 195/55R16 then replace them soon.The price adjustment due to re implementation of SST is going to bring tyre prices up. Although by right, only NEW supplies at/after 1st September should be affected, but knowing how unscrupulous most of the businesses here, they will raise prices exactly at 1st September despite selling existing stock. QUOTE(zeng @ Aug 23 2018, 02:02 PM) Thanks. Will include it in my search.QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Aug 23 2018, 09:09 PM) Okay la Mazda, RM85 simply drive also can get 620km constantly.This post has been edited by RicoT: Aug 23 2018, 10:07 PM |

What manufacturer and model tyre is equivalent to Yokohama Advan dB? Last time used it on my other car, reduced lots of road noise.

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Aug 24 2018, 04:29 PM) veli nais oh. I hate the fact that most of the car bring in Malaysia than like bodo. Mazda engine is great, but noise from suspension and overall soundproofing need improvements. Hope these issues will be ironed out in the next Mazda 3.But I eye on 3 already. Just wait the X engine to be surface. |
