My Myvi 2018 is currently running 185 55 15.
Is it possible for it to use 195 50 15 tyres? And if yes are there anything to take note?

Found someone in Shopee selling CR1 185 55 15 for RM212/pcs
and CR1 195 50 15 for RM193/pcs

Was wondering why is there a price difference, 185 55 15 is always so hard to find + expensive.

Hi, if I have a leak from the tyre valve (due to the steel cap is rusty thus it stuck really tight on the valve), for some reason, while trying to unscrew the rusted steel cap, the valve suddenly give way and became loose, is it safe for me to travel to the nearest tyre shop (5.9km) to get it fixed or is it too risky & may cause the tyre to have much more serious issue down the road?

We been talking on this for many times, 1st of all you need to consider your sport rim width. Ori sport rim width usually design to match with the 185 size, just imagine small feet with bigger shoes size when you run how you feel?

Besides that, by changing bigger tire wider size it will also impact fuel consuption. The money you save now on the tires, might even waste more money in long term when driving. Do take note your tire usually last around 40000~50000km. If fuel consuption increase to like even 0.01cent per km, 40000km = RM400 bro.. Is the higher fuel consuption really got savings in long term? Somemore fuel subsidies going off soon bro.

If i were you, i would rather stick to the original size with the original sport rim.
Unless you willing to go all out by changing lightweight sport rim with the suitable width to match the 195 size and in long term due to lightweight maybe still can maintain similar fuel consuption as previous.

Thanks bro, at the end settled with Dunlop D06 185 55 15

Do you have spare tires? Use that 1 to replace first. If really dont have, ask the tyre shop to drop by since you mentions only 5.9km usually if near tyre shop can ask their worker to go out help but need pay extra for it. Please confirm with the tire shop before telling them to drop by.

Sifu, do you know the differences between T005A and T005B? I asked around on Shopee, it seems only 2023 Turanza are available, is it too old?

2023 old? Bro, u tot tires is banana/food izzit?

Tires can last at least 10 years bro, nothing to worry.
A lot of people prefer at least 1~2 years tire, 1st cheaper price and 2nd tire composition is more stable/mature.

T005A - Is design for Asia pacific region

Not sure with the T005B, but previously A version is for Asia pacific region and got slight different treads design or rubber composition as compare to original T005 which is design for Europe or US market. Even with A or B revision, Turanza is more towards premium touring tires similar category to like Michelin Primacy 4 series.

Hi, any recommendation for 2018 Mercedes Benz C200?
Front: 225/45R18
Rear: 245/40/R18

Thank you in advance

Budget? Driving style? Can accept non-flat tires or not?
Too many varienty, tires need to match what owner needs, better you give more info so that people can recommend suitable tires.

Extra question:How do you know when to replace your tyres?

hi, my question on toyota ori rims as below comes originally
17 6.5jj fitted with oe tires size 225/60R17
18 7.5jj fitted with oe tires size 235/50R18

i see many mention 6.5jj max width should be 215? while 235 are more suited on 8jj or 8.5jj rims. what do you think about toyota fitting tires in that size. thanks

Budget about 500-1000 per tire
Normal driving. Occasional long distance highway driving.
Preferably smooth and quiet drive
Can accept run flat tire

Currently using continental UC6 for front tire and bridgestone potenza s001 rft for rear

Tq.

Since that budget and 18" tyres. U can get Michelin model already. Try get PS4 at Oscar Bukit Kemuning for best price.

Please replace faster the junk UC6, its doesn't do great at heavy rain driving

Yes, with that kind of budget can get Michelin Primacy 4 series.
Since just want smooth and quiet drive, Primacy 4 would be sufficient.
Other options, Bridgestone Turanza T005 or Hankook Ventus Prime 4.

Tqvm for your suggestion

Tqvm for your suggestion

Imported used tyre, are they safe and good?

Buy from halfcut shop izzit? You need to know the date, usually max is 10 years from manufacturing date.
2nd is the tires all season, summer or snow tires? If snow just skip, too loud to drive on the roads.
3rd is tire condition, is there any long/deep cracks on the sidewall or treads? Treads depth still ok?

Usually we only buy imported used tyre for training purpose, like to go for drift, track or gymkana traning rounds. If lucky can get performance tires at cheap price, but those are not suitable on-road and only on competition gound.
