Base on its broacher, there is a chart that indicate the wet/dry braking performance improved over the old UC6 SUV tires.
The traction is for wet braking performance, for grade A i believe majority of normal SUV drivers on the roads are sufficient.

Thanks, manage to get rm599 per pcs for primacy 5 at Shuang Heng Kota Kemuning. Thanks for your opinion.

For 185/55R15. Looking between Toyo CR1 vs Goodyear Assurance Maxguard.. Which better? Both same price 220.

Note with thanks. Will wait actual owner review on this tyre then.

how's your review of this place. You change tyres and do alignment here also? Or just buy tyres and install somewhere else? Faced any problems before?

Cause their google reviews quite scary. Take long time few hours to change tyres is one thing and can close an eye due to their price. But it seems they always use scam tactic towards customers as well? Say rim bengkok, lower arm not good, camber out, etc etc etc..

What i worried is they purposely bengkok your rim when removing/installing the tyres.. Or maybe not on purpose but cause they employ bangla workers, so maybe its just poor workmanship.. Then end up buy cheap tyres yes but have to fork out for other stuffs due to "damages".. That one not worth the headache.

anyway i enquired for185/55R15 Goodyear Maxguard. Shopee selling 220. if use vouchers can go down to 187. They selling 159 only wtf..

The price really tempting but damn the reviews are scary

If your so scare, just buy the tires alone and go other place to install.

I have done that a lot of times buying tires online & from other tire shop and ship/transport it to my house and also my friend's tire shop, nothing wrong about it.

my review, it is the cheapest tyre shop in KL & Selangor, shopee included, especially for my size, 235/45/18 for Michelin. My take, whatapps for their price quotation for size, brand, then once get it, go there as early as I can. Come there, show the WhatsApp price then proceed installation. Bought 4 sure free alignment, balancing, and sometime they will say as per u mentioned, but I ignored, same goes to camber screw. Sure u can look at them when they take your tyre etc during the installation, balancing etc

This is because, after installing the new tyre, I will send it back for alignment/ balancing at my regular tyre shop, if rajin send it to 1 shop opposite Jusco Balakong for manual alignment, but slightly pricey. Summary, their tyre is cheap by a lot in Oscar vs Kajang tyre shop.

so its true la then.. their tyre is cheap but they will tokok a lot nonsense as well.

so best is to just buy the tyre + balancing... alignment go somewhere else to do. and ignore whatever else they might tokok to you..

Guess I will go here then. Cause RM159 at oscar vs RM187 at shopee (after vouchers). RM28 diff per piece is big diff.

I also cant brain how come they can sell Goodyear Maxguard year 2025 so cheap..

2018 last time during GST free months, PS4 at Kajang cost rm800 (they said retail price is 870), but I ended up with Oscar for rm550/tyres. That already enough to cover my toll and fuel. And I do check the manufacturing date, it is a brand new tyres.
Their game is by buying in bulk, big volumes, which can give an attractive price to us, customers.

Looking for 175 65 15 tyre ,there is 3 brand that the shop recommended to me

DUNLOP J6 - very good cheap price
Hankook ECO - Slightly expensive
Toyo Cr1 - Most expensive among 3

Just a 2nd car that used to send kid to school , which actually do u guys prefer? Or just go with Dunlop j6 actually will do?

Toyo CR1 should be in middle range, not most expensive. Your tire shop should be middle person or not direct distributor for Toyo tires.
Dunlop J6 is also made in Malaysia tire, but personally my experience for budget Dunlop rubber type are harder and not so good in term of comfort.

You should get a tire shop which is a real dealer for Toyo tires, get to the website and check nearest authorize Toyo tire shop for quote, i believe should be more competitive.

How about dunlop D06? Would be better choice?

Depends, my experience with Dunlop usually for cheaper tire range they are more towards longevity.
But in term of comfort, is on the lower side.
So if you dont care about comfort and just want a budget tire which can last for a while than Dunlop should meet your criteria.

Yup , just looking for good budget tyre since this is my 2nd car , morning fetch kid to school , then afternoon fetch kid back , then sending tuition , that all only driving mostly 80-100km/h , rarely above 100km/h since it busy city drive with traffic light


before this use something more expensive continental , tyre made 2020 year , so plan to change it since already hit 5 year mark , or it stil can be use for another year? Because i read somewhere the tyre better only use for 5 year and have to change. The tyre tread i think stil left about 35-40% because just a 2nd car , so kind like wasted for expensive donut but only use for sending kid to school

FYI, most my household tires lasted 7~8 years and even my father classic car already near 10 years.
A lot of tire shop like to use fear monger tactic to scare users to change tires, if you really look into most major tire website recommendation is max 10 years, 5 year onwards get mechanic/tire expert to check and advice (Luckily my mechanic/tire shop is good/professional and not always push/put pressure or scare people to change). If no serious crack on sidewall, inner treads, tread height still not yet reach the wear indicator why not use it?

Owh izit? Damn i thought that donut must be changed once it hit 5 and max 6 year , as long as the tyre no cracked sign and it stil good to go? Because i know i not kind of racing ppl that need my donut to be in TOP condition to taking sharp corner , and basically i also wont speedy on raining road because after having my kid and family , i learn to driving safe and no more need for speed style of driving. Because my own & family safety first.


Really thx for your advice , look like i just need to monitor my tyre , if it start to give crack sign then only i will send to workshop to confirm to replace new unit

https://www.michelin.com.my/auto/advice/cha...g-do-tyres-last

Tyre age limit : the 10-year threshold
If the tyres have not been replaced 10 years after their date of manufacture, Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres as a precaution. You can check our partners' tyre shops at Tyreplus to get your tyres replaced

From 5 years of use
In 5 years, your tyres will probably have been run over many different surfaces and perhaps have suffered shocks. After 5 years of use, have them checked by a professional at least once a year. This will ensure that they have not been damaged prematurely and that they do not endanger you or your passengers.

Hi,

got any advice which tyre that are good in
1. Comfort
2. Quiet
3. Grip

long lasting is not important cos it will be low mileage car
Size is 215/60/16
Current tyres is Michellin XM2 & Primacy 3st going 9 and 10 years tyres. Still got at least 40~50% but don't dare use it any longer.

prefer cheaper tires with priority above so can change in 6~7 year mark

since u got good feedback and usage from the Michelin, best to repeat that brand. Wet grip is missing from any Continental tyres, based on my own experience. Those great Continental models (SportContact 7) from abroad are not coming here, but we use the SEA-made model tyre from Continental, hence the poor wet traction.

Go for Michelin Primacy 5. Worth the price & won't dissapoint in expected performance
