Hi all,

I'm planning to change my Estima's tires from its stock (2x Landsail + 2x Toyo NE3 - they are 2 years apart so I would keep Toyo if budget is a constraint).

I mostly drive in moderate to slow speed: Bandar Kinrara/Puchong - Cyberjaya route hitting only 120km/h +/-, fetching kids to school in a residential area and once a month or 2 would travel to Malacca or Perak. As there's always an issue with Estima's steering rack that results in a gluk gluk noise, I'm looking for a low noise and comfortable tyres to replace with.

Shortlisted Tyres and its prices are taken from Klang Hin Leong (just as a reference). If possible, I prefer not to travel to Klang for this.

* Michelin Primacy 4 RM355
** Yokohama Ae50 RM300
Bridgestone ER33 RM310
Continental UC6 RM310
Toyo CF2 RM325
Toyo TR1 RM295
Toyo Neo3 RM275

* Michelin Primacy 4 is the most costly and also the most recommended by many people around me

** Yokohama AE50 is recommended by a fellow Estima FB member as a good budget tyre for Estima.


Do share what you think and also recommend if there's any good tyre shops to check with in the area of Bandar Kinrara/Puchong.

BTW, I have settled with 4 new Michelin Primacy but I opted to a shop nearby my home RM390/tyre.

Yes, a RM35-difference for each tyre. The reason for this was due to 1. Traveling from Bandar Kinrara to Klang was a hassle and I have kids to take care of at home. 2. Was told in separate channel that this tyre shop in Klang's service was bad and waiting time was longer (2-3 hours). 3. After-sales service could be a hassle.

So, I spent RM140 extra to avoid the above. Worth it or not, up to individual biggrin.gif

Hi.. Would you share me the name of the shop that you get the michelin in puchong. Also live in Puchong... . My donut also need to change & i used the same saiz as your..
*
Kedai Tayar San Xing Auto Car Care
At Puchong Jaya (nearby Taman Kinrara / Bandar Kinrara)

Here's the pricelist I got for other models. Take note that this shop sells Nexen Tyre and take Michelin tyres from other source. It could be more expensive. Cheapsake me managed to ask for metal valves. FYI, alignment is free for 2 and 4 tyres - so you do not need to opt for 4 in a Go.

215/55/17
Rydanz R02 rm 220
Landsail thailand 240
Nexen su1 korea rm 300
Kumho mu12 korae rm 310
Ps4 rm 485
Primacy 4 rm 390

Another slightly cheaper alternative nearby:
Techtunes Auto Bdr Kinrara
Michelin primacy 4st rm 388
Goodyear excellent rm 310
Michelin PS4 rm 485
