Can anyone suggest and give good reviews on best tyre size 195/55R15 below 200 per donut. Still confused what brand for my myvi gen3 stock rim.. and for valve anyone knows the steel valve code that suits orignal 15 inch myvi gen3 rims ? And can suggest me good shop in cheras if anyone can recommend hehe

Michelin XM2+

Probably most expensive than other brands, but also the best and durable. For 15 inch size, the prices difference between different brands not that huge anyways

Michelin tyres will immediately upgrade your car NVH and driving dynamic up a notch

Maxxis Victra I-Pro
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2
Viking ProTech PT6
Toyo Proxes TR1

PCD 4x100

V12E2 is no more.

How bout good assurance Triplemax 2 and Yokohama es32

GY assurance triplemax 2 is also good but midrange category performance. This tire also does not last long.

For similar price, better get UHP or high performance tire, which I have listed.

The best bang for buck in the list would be Maxxis Victra I-Pro. Roughly around rm150 per piece in KV area. If you have tighter budget you can go for Viking ProTech PT6. Cheaper.

Toyo TR1 you can find for rm170-190 per piece.

No comment on es32 coz never used it & also never knew anybody who used it before.

There's a seller on Mudah selling GY ATM2 for RM135 per piece for this size. Although there are concerns regarding its mileage and wear, I think that price is really hard to beat.

There's also es32 for RM140. Seems to have pretty decent reviews on tyrereview and tyrereview.au

Similar pricing as Viking PT6. I would pick this over GY ATM2 & es32 anyday. Since the pricing & mileage are similar, might as well get a grippier & better performance tire.

But hey, our driving styles & needs could be different.

Yeap, up to people's preferences and priorities.

I'd just fit a set of PS3 if it wasn't a backup car.

How's the PT6 though? Can't seem to find a lot of sample sizes in terms of review.

toyo.. dunno what model around rm150...

next mnoth increase 10% base the shop told me

Michelin XM2+ is quite good

Maybe Toyo CR1. Yeah all tires price increase

I have the same thoughts.

Not willing to spend much on backup car.

PT6, although not as good as PS3, gives sharp steering response & commendable handling.

At least could be worth it for price range of rm150 & below per piece.

It seems that this model only for SEA. Couldn't find this model in uk or eu websites.

Maxxis Victra I-Pro gives similar performance as PS3, however albeit at a much lower mileage. But hey, with rm150 per piece. It is tempting.

Victra I-Pro can be as low as rm135-140 so that's the best value for money I think.

Next after that I'd recommend Potenza Re004, should be around rm175-185 only.

That's all I'd recommend for under rm200 cuz next up is PS3 already at rm210-230. The rest under rm200 are just meh.

Just get the re004, settle.

Hi, I've been running two sets of PS3 for 185/55/15 mirage.
Kinda becoming a backup car these days. Would it be a very noticeable diff in terms of wet for PS3 vs RE004?

How's the wet grip if compared to PS3/old time PP2?

I haven't try but based on what I heard, it's much improved over re003, whether until as good as PS3 not quite sure. My guess is Ps3 might still be better in aquaplaning resistance but otherwise re004 should be better.

Anyway re004 doesn't have your size if check in the BS MY website.

I couldn't find RE004 for the price you've mentioned. Roughly price similar to PS3.

If it is as cheap as you said. Wanna give that a try in the next set of tires

The diff is almost negligible. I would say it’s on par with PS3. Been running with PS3,re003 and re004.

Over TS budget already lah.

Anyway TS you may like to have a look at Dunlop Sport J5 or the latest J6. Its cheaper than the big brands but still pretty decent overall performance, treadwear and comfort. I'm on my second set of J5 in fact

The downside would be that this tire is a bit harder to find. The big shops near my place dont sell this tire so I ended up buying from online

Goodyear TripleMax 2
Toyo CR1
Conti UC6 (not sure if they have 195/55R16 though, I've seen 195/50R16)

those 3 should be well balanced.

I feel like just over budget by RM15 per tyre.
But the quality is by for the best, by a long long shot.

tested CC6, nano energy 3 and XM2.
XM2 wins hand down in every aspect. no competition.

don't know why the hate for XM2 among the forumers.

Because for the price you pay for XM2, there are just so many better options.

I think there is no other brands that is better than XM2 within the same category.
whether in comfort, grip, longevity...

I heard from some youtuber mentioning the profit margin for unbranded tyre is the highest
that's why shops like to recommend cheaper less branded tyres

So many cheaper option- yes
so many better option- no

as someone said, good no cheap, cheap no good. I had try various high end tyre and michelin ps4 is the best. its like a balance tyre, long mileage, grip and not too firm on sidewall.

not yet try Pirelli as price really out of my budget. but as of now my best tyre is michelin.

ya lor. had use re003, eagle f1, conti csc3, mc6 then use michelin ps4. the rubber is damn soft, and long lasting. conti rubber similar soft, but botak really fast too. similar driving pattern tho.

Huh?

Let's say for the price of XM2+ @ 195/55 R15, you can get the Pilot Sport 3 instead. The price is identical. So why are there no better option than XM2+...?

And speaking of PS4, I'm using them as well, but we're talking about XM2+ here though.

Got many in mudah.

Ps4 not available in 15 unfortunately.
XM2 price is very close or almost equal to PS3 so PS3 is the better buy. XM2 is probably the most expensive in its class, got plenty of other cheaper ones with similar performance like from Goodyear. IMHO XM2 is overrated/overpriced.

pirellis are quite good... above average performance... but average threadwear... good all rounder doesn't excel in any particular areas...

not a bad tyre per se... just too overpriced in our market... not worth getting

My first michelin is michelin certis. That tyre damn long lasting. I got 100k km from that tyre. even beat goodyear duraplus which good year said can last 100k km. Rubber start harden at 70k km.

Other tyre such as gy gt3, excellence, nct5 all last around 60k km. Conti cc1, cc5, cc6 all crap last about 40k km only. And now use xm2+. Pay more over other brand. But this really last according to my last set of xm2.

If u ask me,does it overprice?. yes. michelin all line up, energy, primacy, sport all overprice. but I still bought it due to longevity.

sure

had xm2 long ago... quite long lasting... after 60% becomes noisy and harsh... but dunno about xm2+

had another michelin in the US also lasted 100k

had s1n2 about 80k now that can still go further... really like this tyre for its longevity, comfort n low noise

anyways on xm2+... my thoughts are simple... do I want 2 set of the same xm2+ for 200k mileage or try 3 sets of different tyres, for the same overall costs but with better overall performances over the 200k mileage, and far richer life experience

u got a point liao. but my personal preference, I hate visit tyre shop too frequently. last time got good deal, use falken ze912. but 1 year and half, gone already. price is good.quite cheap. same for other tyre too.

mostly I use for 4 and half years to 6 years.Yeah, can be quite boring if need to stick to 1 types of tyre. but it is peace of mind for me liao. personal preference lor.

1.5 yrs gone usually mean alignment kaput or wear too much due to set up for spirited driving... falken usually soft n comfortable, average lasting... even my uhp Pirelli lasted 2yrs that I set up for fast driving, could have lasted longer had I rotate n align more often but I wanna change it... lol

yeah a lot boils down to personal preference... how you drive, what car & tyre size, what you want from tyre, how long you wanna keep the car, etc... and there's nothing wrong just sticking to your proven tyre

one thing about Michelin's claim on p4 & xm2+ worn tyre can still have good braking... in their demo tyres they just shaved off the rubber... the rubber is still new n soft, hasn't been aged for 5+ yrs and driven for 80k... and they brought old used other brands for comparison... while it has deeper groves and probably is better, it's probably not as good as claimed... something to ponder, however I do recognize ppl just going for the long mileage claim...

Hankook VP3 made in KOREA😇

Myvi original 15" tires should be 185/55/15 not 195..
Tires should be recommend base on the driver preference.. Not all model or spec. the best..

If want comfort, normal drive and plenty of money to spend for sure Michelin XM2+ is better
If want sport model Michelin got PS3

If in budget can consider Maxxis Victra, Hankook prime 3 or Yokohama ES32 for normal comfort drive.
I currently using Yokohama ES32, no issue for it and on 2nd set for my Kelisa as my expectation just want comfort, silent drive and within my budget.
