As per title, wanna replace tyre sized 215/45/r18...

Price budget below rm450/piece

Currently targeting:
MC6@rm350 (cheap and branded but mixed reviews online and personally had bad experience as easy puncture)
yokohama advan fleva v701 @ RM413 (cheap UHP)
goodyear F1D5 (never tried)
PS3 (cause michelin reputable)

primacy too expensive liao haha

To all sifu, please share experience with tyre around that range...
I'm kind of a aggressive driver with tyre chips/blisters on tyre surface...Downgrading from pirelli cause no more money

TYVM

Fleva reviews have not been good or consistent so not sure. I personally wouldn't try this tire.

F1D5 is good and reliable but will have chipping issue if driven hard. I had tried it once.

PS3 doesn't have this size, at least from the Michelin Malaysia web. Only has the new Primacy 4 which is not UHP tire for aggressive driving.

MC6 is a bit unproven yet, so not sure too but between this and Fleva, maybe I'd prefer MC6 coz a bit cheaper and generally Continental makes better tires than Yokohama (except for track ready tires).

Your size is a bit odd, is it for Mazda 3? Maybe can use 225/45/18 so much more choices and easier to find. I'd recommend Hankook V12 Evo 2 or Falken FK510 for this size.

we are on the same journey but different tyre size haha.

mine 225 40 18. maybe will try V12. still hunting for best price.

u can try hankook v12.they have that size,

V12E2 has that size??

I changed 4 tyres hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 225/45/18 just a month ago with the price of RM350/pc.

yes..my friend change in shah alam for his mazda.but this size is indeed more expensive than 225 45 18

Good then coz it's not showing in the Malaysia website.

Greetings, I am looking for replacement tyres 2 of them, 225 45 r18. Behind is on accerela and hifly. wish to have longer thread life + fuel saving. can i borrow this thread as well?

Why not go for 225/45/18? Tyre choice much more

MC6 - Entry Level UHP, cheaper than PS4, grip about 70-80% of PS4, Much quieter, easy puncture that is MC5
V701 - Mid Tier Performance, Loves to scream during corner but not indicating losing grip
F1D5 - Noisy but grippy kinda old tech, maybe try F1A3?
PS4 - Have this size, if budget allow then go ahead 😊 you won't regret
V12evo2 - Mid Tier Performance, Softwall slightly softer than V701

Just replace all of those because they're all no good tires. How long is longer life for you??

Haha this I support , if can't afford then downgrade rim to 17 inch if your car allowed

Yup agree. For tires, don't be a cheapskate. If cannot afford then should not use big size tires to begin with. It's better to use smaller rims but with good tires than big rims but crap tires.

Front is one japan not sure wat brand and mc5. mc5 is very botak till little bit silver thingy can see on the left inner shoulder.

Behind is 1 year old accelera and half year old hifly.

I am intend to change the front to two longer life tyre. budget not important. I also don't know, but xm2 on my myvi looks like last forever. i average drive 2k km every month.

Edit : I was looking for mc5, but the shop say no longer have that series.

Michelin PS3 or PS4 FTW!!

Once u used, no other brand will satisfy u =D

The thing about Michelin is that they chipped quite easily. Furthermore, the side thread tends to ‘burn’ more regardless of the alignment problem.

Tried MC5. Nothing great about these tyres. Some reviews says MC6 is better. Anyway, if you are looking for longer life tyres, then you should look for GY tyres.

Haha, not an issue for me =D

Cause i burn through all 4 of my PS3 Tyres in 1 year =D

If chipping is an issue to you, then maybe try something else loh....

Michelin IS the BEST WET performing tyres though, PERIOD.

Gotta take the good with the bad.

My goodness, gado2 mix setup! Seriously, change them all! You should not mix 4 different tires in 1 car, some more they're ALL crap tires too! Get that Hankook V12 Evo 2, only rm325/pc which dirt cheap already for a very good high performance tires at such big size too. If you still cannot afford that, then seriously, just downgrade to smaller rims.

Downgrade rim means need to buy another set of rims, can change 2 sets of tyres lor.... The payback is quite long down the road starting only from the 3rd set of tyres....

Eh...how come no one recommend FK510?

Well you will trade in your rim for that 17" rim de ma.. Or you swap with people who wanted a 18" rim so you no need to pay that much lor.

17" n 18" price is huge difference so it wouldn't take 3rd set of tyres to payback.. I would say 1 and a half set to recoup the payback and it's better for your wallet.

Got many cheap but still decent used rims la, or find oem rims from other car's that can also fit, usually dirt cheap.

Coz FK510 is a bit more expensive than V12E2 but yes that's also an excellent value for money.

Will PS4 last long time? is it gripper tyres wear out faster? I have budget enough for 2 PS4 for replacing the botak one and stay with the hifly and accerela for a little longer until next month mayb.

Hurm, Let me go ask the shop around, GoodYear right? I try ask ask. thanks bro.


But I don't mind the price, just wish to get a longer thread life + better tyres. i got this set rims second hands while they come with those tyres =( Anyway, I still keep that r16 rim, but since its not budget issue. it should be fine. i had been reading across primacy 3 and ps4

If you don't mind, what car are you driving? And what is your expectation of "long"?

My experience is that the dunlop formula range has quite good wear rate, have the size your require. Mine lasted almost 80k km on vios. (just don't expect great performance).

https://www.dunloptyres.com.my/products/pas...es/formula-d05/

PS4's design don't have wear longevity in mind, more towards performance. Can consider primacy 4 since primacy 3 already obsolete if price isn't that much of a concern to you.

If you want to change tyres, just in set of 4 will land you lower cost per tyre compared to buying in single unit or a pair. And since just one month difference, just change all 4 one shot.

If want longevity, then look for tires with tread wear in the high 300 (360 above) or even 400 and 500 like Dunlop DZ105, Michelin XM2, Continental CC series, Hankook S1 Noble or Prime etc. but the grip performance will be lousy! In most cases also due to age, the rubber becomes hardened and cracking hence you'd still need to change when treads still rather thick, unless you drive so much like taxi drivers.

inspira. expectation of long, I also not sure, but my myvi xm2 last me for 6 years still very deep thread.

Thank you for your advice, I intend to change at least two for now. because they are already worn out. I mean the front. Let me try to check if the dunlop formula d05 available here or not. hurm

I have average 3000km per month. roughly. thanks for the advice though. hehe. I dont know if there is any xm2 or cc series for my size

If got budget just get PS4 and forget about all those crap XM2/CC6.

Checked Hankook US website & V12E2 is available in that size.

BTW what's your car rim width? Can check out alternative sizes here.

I changed mine from Seremban.

The same shop in klang that I changed to ventus noble 2 also offered me v12 at rm440 each. But they have no stock... So, settled with noble 2. So far so good.. Queit

Tyre size 225/45/18

Originally come with it.

1st used were falken ziex912, good enougn for me, really good wear rate but noisy as hell after awhile

2nd was yokohama ae50, comfortable ride. Very quite, wear rate kinda high.

3rd/now falken fk510. Newly changed, will see after 3 4 months.

Cost.
1. Iirc rm300
2. Rm6++
3. Rm460

Hi all, just a quick update, i did changed my tyres to Primacy 4. 2019 2nd week made. Switched to the front, fill with nitrogen to 35psi. So far, I can say the previous noise from the tyres are greatly reduce, however it still exist and maybe come from the back, since i am still using one accelera and one hifly at the rear side. overall seems to be easier to accelerate but this might not be accurate as it all just my feeling. I kind of like the new tyres, doing around 40km only distance so far. total damage 1260. Not sure about threadwear, but it shows 340 iinm.

Aiyo why not just change all 4 and throw away a those shit tires at the rear too?
