FYI, having wrong size will impact your fuel consumption and speed meter will not be accurate.
Sometime have to think for long term (Got wonder why so cheap or not? - year of manufacturing?)

It’s 2718 so a couple months old. But for the budget I think it worth it at the moment

Owh change already..i m late to the party.

just to share; im using Hankok v12e2 195/55r15 on my iriz 1.6M. Done 12K km changed Mar this year. Previously Silverstn M5 (10k KM) then Falken 914 (50k KM). M5 u know la. Falken very slippery in wet after 40k KM, otherwise dry grip is good.

v12e2 not noisy at all compared to my last twos, feel confident in wet, doesn't squeal (not yet) on smooth cemented floor like M5 or Falken. Just that FC increases a bit compared to Falken the eco tyre. Sidewall felt too soft so have to pump more air. worth considering for those looking for new tyre.

My Silverstone M3 last 60k πŸ˜‚

This is my first change of sets so can say anything much yet. Will update from time to time

The cheapest V12e12 in Shah Alam was about 180/pcs. Over my budget already as I had major service 60k performed last month and next month need to renew my road tax and insurance so yeah πŸ˜…

Size is still ok but tire is not such a good choice actually coz performance is only meh and reliability is a bit questionable. Hopefully they wont have any issues on yours.
Kumho is not good tires, that's why that cheap.

But i think it was better than other tires around that price which were rovelo, dayton and zeta. Haha

Yeah ok la, since you seem to be very budget limited and you've bought it anyway. Just next time buy better tires.

ps31 is bad? my friend use it to race at sepang, the grip is amazing on his iriz, never lose traction once for the whole track day..

another friend driving vios is changing from v12 to ps31, which then he said it's actually a bit better than v12..

so the question is, is PS31 is bad?

planning to upgrade my rim/tyre on iriz 1.3MT from 185/60R14 to perhaps 195/55R15.
