lighter sport rim got any recommend ?

Go to sport rim shop and ask to recommend.
Ask them bring weighing machine and weigh your original sport rim against the new sport rim.
If got money sure we recommend genuine Japanese sport rim, if low budget can consider Thailand made Lenso or other brands.

King of rims is also a good place to search for sport rim recommendation.

LENSO and Advanti rims good ? never try those before , are they light weight rims ?

"Ask them bring weighing machine and weigh your original sport rim against the new sport rim."

Already mentioned this before.
What do you think the weighing machine do?
Ask them weight the sport rims you like and compare the weight.
Main objective for sure lighter the better for aftermarket sport rims.

Going for Advanti Storm S1 since it only weight 4.7kg

Lmao, any update/follow-up from TS or anybody else?
So PS3 vs XM2+ or any other relevant brand for wet grip & braking/aquaplanning issues

Based on my check the best bet for a wet tire for Myvi is the Xm2+. Wet braking is absolute best in-class while having excellent wear. I had also had a quick look on aquaplaning and XM2+ is the top of the class. So no worries.

Michelin even with top of the range aquaplaning is not always the top of the class, the only best for Xm2+ is it can last longer and the rest like wet & dry braking performance will not wear much even after long use, this is their real advantage.

Do not mix aquaplaning with wet braking, these 2 are different category. I always heard a lot of people say it but aquaplaning means you need to drive thru certain water level at a certain speed without loosing control, Michelin is not the best in this category. If want solely better aquaplaning tires, Falken & many other brands (even Maxxis) also can beat Michelin in this category. Aquaplaning are tested via Straight Aqua & Curved Aquaplaning, just google about tyre review.

There's a marked diff between grip with lower grade eco tyres vs PS3 or Primacy3.
With PS3 hardly activate ABS and worth every penny as I can use them to 0% (hit the TWI).

Other tyres like Fxxken 912, Yoko C-drive at 30% already activate ABS in standstill jam when its raining.

Your mentioning wet braking performance, this is their strength. If Aquaplaning that is different.

BTW the tires you mentioned about already obsolete and replaced by newer model, Falken 912 & Yoko C-Drive both consider touring tires.
Not sure why you pick a higher PS3 (UHP) tires and compare lower grade tires.. If both of them can did better, you can throw Michelin tires in the drain already.

Got my Myvi 2018 new set of Michelin XM2+ at Setia Taipan for RM200/pcs (standard size) during lunch break at S-One Tyre & Sport Rims, owner said can be done in 30mins and he is not kidding

Shop beside Petron, convenience for me since near by my office

i changed all 4 tyres with XM2+. happy with them so far. seems quieter and smoother drive. I didnt go for ps3 or ps4 because i would need to change the rims.

For sure, aquaplaning and wet braking is totally different test. However from physics point of view a good wet braking compound actually helps to dissipate more water during driving hence the improvement in aquaplaning. Based on internal test results which I have seen, xm2+ is definitely the best aquaplaning tire in its class.

Try not to dispute further. You have your own view, but if your ride already loss control during aquaplaning, wet braking does not help and you can only reduce speed via ease off acceleration.

Plenty of information on how to control back your ride during aquaplaning and most of it advice don't emergency brake (which wet braking is no use during this situation or maybe make it even worse)

So did you manage to screen shot the Before alignment readings indicating poor alignment angles that I strongly suspect contributing to your accident?

You'd then understeer or oversteer problem during cornering/turning when the accident happens right?

I have no idea about that. the old tyres was 8yrs old when the accident happened. most probably the tyres are already worn out.

My stock myvi tyre size is 185/55/R15. Anyone here changed to 195/55 R15? Does it affect anything aside from maybe fuel consumption?

I did. Didn't affect anything, even speedometer also just a little diff. FC, not noticeable.

Thanks for info! Changed to 195/55 R15 Michelin PS3 today. RM290 per donut now wow.. Used to be around RM250..
Also while alignment that guy told me my camber bengkok, ask me to change to their camber screw @ RM90 for standard and RM150 for better one.. But then I also came across this camber screw scam issue thread not long ago..

So I just decline and say I'll observe myself lol.. The old tyre took out from my car also even wear so I think I'll just remain as it is and observe wear pattern from time to time

You're damn wrong and misleading on the bold above.

The concept of eccentric front camber screw/bolt is real and genuine as a way of providing adjustability to Front cambers.

It IS applicable to all generations of Myvi AND all Peroduas' if not most or all Asian cars.
