Hi sifu, want to ask if i can mix runflat with non runflat tyre?

yes, because runflats are stiffer compared to normal tyres.

if you run normal fronts and rear runflats, you’ll make the car stiffer at the rear which can result in easier oversteer. conversely running runflats at the front and normal rears will make the fronts stiffer, and resulting in more understeer.

but it really depends on the car. if the existing setup is already leaning to oversteer, putting the runflats in the rear can make it very prone to oversteer. But if your car is already understeering then it may not be apparent if anything has changed. Though honestly this will only be a concern if you are driving on the limit, which you shouldn’t on public roads.

Hey guys! Looking for a touring tire and currently using michelin's ps5..

Size is 235/45/18

I've broken down to a few brands would like the feedback from each model

Goodyear Comforttred - seems like not many ppl use these tires and upon some research some say after 20k mileage the tire behaves differently

Conti MC7 - Most popular tire in Lowyat

Michelin e-primacy - great all rounder

Pirelli Cinturato Rosso - Not too much review on this new tires as well

Hankook VP4 - Great value and comparable with the big guns above
Should I just go with the trusted and tested Primacy? I would love comfort(less noise and less vibration) and good grip from these tires

Am comparing between

Hankook Ventus Prime 4
Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport
Continental CC7
Fallen ZE310 Ecorun
Toyo CR1

Which are these are the quietest and most comfortable?

Over budget, and in my opinion, Michelin tyres very overrated

Hey guys for 235/60R18 I'm trying to find comfortable SUV tires. Budget isn't an issue. Is Michelin Primacy SUV+ the best?

Dear Sifus,

My X50 Flagship's original 215/55R18 Continental UC6 (haven't changed since I bought the car) are at ~45,0000km and the tyre shop recommend to change because the tyre year make was in 45th week of 2020 and can cause "hardening after 3 years".. However, threadwear indicator still looks like ~1-2mm above the minimum threshold bump.

3 questions:
1. Does this make sense to change? I'm hearing mixed opinions about this and the shop is bullshiting about the hardening
2. I have mostly decided to change to Michelin and don't plan to change rims. For the R18 rims spec, I found 3 suitable tyres - which do you recommend? My use case is 50% KL city driving, 30% drive to Selangor/PJ on weekends and 20% outstation roadtrips e.g. to Penang/Johor. I do enjoy spirited driving and prefer quieter tyres but tyre price and FC is less of a concern. Prices above from Michelin website before Shopee/Lazada sale.
A) Pilot Sport 5 235/50R18, est RM812/pc
B) Pilot Sport 4 SUV 235/50R18, est RM1308/pc
C) Primacy 4 215/55R18 (perfect fit), RM741/pc
3. I live around KL city center - any recommended shops besides TyrePlus and Lim Tayar?

Thanks so much, sifus! 

Hi, I just noticed my tayar suddenly got a bulge... I changed this tayar last year around December so its still quite new... mileage probably about 20k only... its a Continental CC7 195/55R15...

Question is.. is this bulge concerning? will my tayar be at risk of bursting? or is it a normal thing and i don't have to worry too much about it?

I would bring to a tayar shop to check but just also asking here for opinion to cross check later with what the tayar shop tells me...

Oh and if I'm not mistaken this tayar got punctured before and was patched internally... not sure if that info has any relevancy though...

hello sifu, need some opinions on my next tyre choices

I'm driving xv2, stock came with Yokohama e70, size 225/60/17, times up for change already. I find my e70 noisy so hope to get something lower noise

so far i shortlisted a few that are within my budget, i hope can control my budget at somewhere 2k ish if possible, so michellin and pirelli should be out of budget

1. Conti UC , almost pulled trigger on this but i saw threadwear is low
2. Toyo CR1, heard some good comments on this but hv a bit concern with its wet performance
3. Yokohama ae61, saw people commented it is better than e70

so what you guys will recommend?

hi guys, any recommend tyre for malaysia weather (dry and wet), not going track so no semi slick, maybe genting occasionally.

Is ps4 perform better than ps5? I have come across some other series like Conti and Bridgestone, but it starts with 1k per donut. Considering vitour v01r as well but not sure how it performs on wet

Michelin pilot sport 5 traction rating is A while Pilot sport 3 is AA. Is this because the Ps5 is designed to improve the other aspect of the tyre(such as threadwear) while sacrificing the traction?

Or is it because the PS3 was tested and given rating using different and older standard? Meaning if PS3 are tested today, the traction rating will be similiar to PS5 which is A?

how many years can a tyre last before needing to change ? some say 7, some say up to 10.
more than 50% thread left and always parked under a shade.

Is tyres from Michelin China trustable?

I went to a workshop the other day to get a pair of PS3. Guy said they are sourcing from China also?.

There is a slight hesitant for me to go with this as safety is my main concern.

I've only used recently Goodyear Assurance Maxguard SUV, which essentially replaces/upgrade from Goodyear Wrangler TripleMax.

After 2k km, I'm very satisfied, elated even with this tyre. It performs comparably to Michelin Primacy 4 except for the aquaplaning resistance (it is slightly inferior).

Price for 235/50R18 was about RM430 per piece instead of RM650 per piece for Michelin Primacy 4.

Theoretically, Goodyear Assurance Maxguard tires should be better than the Assurance Triplemax 2 tires that it replaces, except for slight decrease in the dry braking.

See the price difference, whether if it is worth a try.

Hi sifu, is there any quieter tyre as compare with stock Toyo Proxes R46 225/22/19 on Mazda CX8?  I plan to swap Toyo out for quieter and if possible those better grip under web condition.  A friend was recommending UC6 to me.
