Performance tires but got relatively softer sidewall for such type of tires so pretty comfortable too but not as sharp handling as PS4. Best value for money in this high performance category now.

Hi, any price estimation for Hankook V12 for this size? Is it RFT? TQ

If you're looking for comfort and you have the budget for the Michelin PS4..

I'd highly recommend the Michelin Primacy 4.

Depends on your rim size

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/michelin...Svm2wJ&search=1

This seller is quite gooding and reputable.

Not run flat tire (RFT).

A RFT could cost an average of RM1000 to RM2000 per piece;e.g., RM1900 for a F30 3-Series.

For the price for 1 RFT, I can buy 1 whole (4 piece) set of Michelin PS4 or Primacy 4.

Why spend the extra money just to save yourself the trouble to change a spare tire, to drive to a nearby tire shop? In the end, you're going to throw away that punctured tire anyway (RM1900 gone).

-------

IMO, forget RFT; waste of money. RFT won't corner and as comfortable as a normal tire.

Sorry to hijack TS thread.

Looking at the lazada link, there is no 245/40/R18 for the R18 range...don't really know how it works..i believe i should be looking at 245/45/R18 right? 45 meaning the wall will be 'fatter' than 40?

245/45 has 11cm sidewall height while 245/40 has 9.8cm, so 1.2cm difference which is a lot.

How do you calculate these numbers or is there any online calculator that you recommend? Bottom line, the radius + sidewall height needs to be the same?

p/s..i just found out the R is for the diamater measurement, not radius sweat.gif
