Conti CC7 just launched recently, pricing is quite attractive

Ok so just got changed to Maxxis Ipro. Not the quietest tires but decent grip. Aquaplaning resistance still not as good as worn PS3s lol

On the plus side, ride comfort is really good

Changed 4x K125 205/45/R17 in Puncak Alam Hankok Master. RM250 each and currently got raya promo free RM100 TNG. Enough to cover valve and allignment.

Didn't change to i-pro because ask TMK and quoted RM270 (or 280) IIRC.

Bagi review how this K125 perform?

I don't drive the car often enough. Only impression now is the sidewall which is probably a lot softer than previous CSC5. Therefore it does feel less bumpy. It was raining yesterday right after I got it changed hence didn't try any cornering because of all the wet comments I read online.

Update:

Sent my car to change suspension parts and end up driving the cars for few days. I didnt push hard, just normal driving. I think the tyre is okay, not great like CSC5. Grip is decent, more comfortable with softer sidewall but I think it gave limited feedback on road. Will try to drive more before finalising.

Got quoted old 2020 stock for 21550/R17 for RM250 each. It's RM100 cheaper compared to current stock

You guys reckon it's worth the savings? Read online tires older than 6 years from manufacturing date shouldn't be put in service so technically can still use?

Ventus Prime4 already available in Malaysia
not sure if most common sizes they bought in

Where do you find them?

I wouldnt mind if I could get some 215/55/17 for less than RM1k.

It’s from old workshop located in Tun Aminah JB.

Owner said he’s selling at a lost. No more stock liao. Now all new stock

Just changed to a full set of Prime 4's. Looks like the initial batch we're getting is made in korea (not indo like prime 3's). Manufacturing plant code for my set is 15M (Hankook Kumsan, South Korea).

So far first impressions is good. Haven't really driven aggressively in dry since want to break in the tyre slowly. Wet performance is pretty decent but I'm comparing to my old set of MC5's. Will post further impressions when I've done around 500++km..

Comparing to MC5 is not really a good reference cuz MC5 is poor especially in the wet. MC6 is more decent.

Can try Toyo CR1. This tyre getting rave reviews among youtuber reviewers.

Which shop did you for for Prime 4?
Thanks

the MC5's were stock tyres. Another comparison would be with UC7 but that's on a different car and different size.

Bestari Tyre in Klang. They had my particular size. Owner and workers were pretty decent, you just need to know how to haggle to get the best price lol.

Thanks for your reply
I've whatsapp them and they do have my required size.
price quoted over whatsapp is the same as in their Shopee shop
Need to replace my Prime3 soon

MC5 is consider as premium touring tires which is the same category as Prime series (Compare apple to apple) Is still a fair comparison compare to MC6 which eventually upgraded to UHP range.

You can check in the link below where the tire model are under which category

Go for it, i just got a mid 2022 old stock for 215/45/R17 for RM200 each, so far so good.
Hint : already famous shop in Bkt Kemuning

What? CR1 is entry level tyre which similar to Hankook Eco2. It is definitely not comparable to Prime 3 who is much better in grip for dry and wet compare to CR1. CR1 is great in comfort and quiet but for grip it definitely out.

Used Cr1 for 1 month, only nothing but praises for that tyre. So quiet, and yet the grip is so good for an eco tyre. I would think dry/wet grip is better than primacy 4 or even pilot sport 4 I used before. I don't know how they do it, but I was surprised also.

The weakness of eco/budget tire is not grip but braking performance.
Especially during emergency braking, the tire will help either hit or miss the front collision.
Thus why some premium tires charge very high due to this reason.
