thank you for the answer. it seems I hv to work harder to get all 4 tyres changed together to the same size to avoid any complications. thank you.

hi sifus, was wondering if its okay to change the front 2 tyre first and change the rear one later on ?

What's the lifespan of the tyre ? My 2 rear tyres from 2016 until now, front tyres from 2018 till now, still ok to use ? Thread still alot

Would really stay away from china tires. They do not provide value. They might bin good in one performance criteria but performs extremely bad in the other. Low target conflict management.

actually any difference if put behind rather then front ?
may i know why you recommend doing so ?

Hi TS,
Thank you for offering such a great service to the community!
I have a question:
Run Flat tyre - 18". My tyre picked up a screw at the sidewall and tyreshop said "it might explode when they try to pull it out (a new tyre may be needed"
Is that true on the statement above and what causes it to explode and not for ordinary tyre (non-run flat). Would u know why?
As i know, run flat tyre has thicker and tougher sidewall. He just pulled it out and didnt explode n yet he didnt bother to patch up the hole.
Thanks!

I only know there is 1 type of run flat tyre. Are there many types?
Mine was date year 2020. Older type or newer type?
My tyre pressure maintains...may he did patch it... (cant remember that well)

Cheap china tyre good reliable or not?

hi all,
currently on a set of UC6, 215/55/R18 milage 4,500km. as these few days raining, personally i find it is not really great for wet.

any recommendation for other tyres?

Why didn't you choose MC6?
Which turanza do you mean? T005A?
T001 sucks big time

Too bad, Civic FC TC & Civic FE V using MC5. 

Not sure why still using MC5, should consider use MC6 as default from factory instead

Dear epjx31,

1) Are OEM tires really different from aftermarket?
- I recently bought a car that came pre-fitted with Bridgestone Potenza S001, which has very polarized wet performance review result on the internet. (Mainly poor results)
- I am skeptical to keep it after these reviews, but I also remember seeing Michelin saying how they custom developed PS4S for BMW M star marked tire.
- Could there be a chance that the S001 i'm having is also designed in a different way to suit the car I'm having?

2) When tires are stored for 6 months at a time without temperature-controlled storage, will there be any degradation from the atmosphere? (Assuming it is stored shaded, but not temperature-controlled)
- I live in a 4 seasons country with mild winter, average temperature is around -5 centigrade range, with a week or two of cold waves that will go as low as -18.
- I took delivery of the car during winter and I immediately swapped out the summer Bridgestone to a Michelin PS4 All Season.
- I stored the summer tire at the tire shop and may / may not swap them back when temperature rises in spring (depending on how much confident I have in the Bridgestone S001 vs my current PS4 AS)
- I took a look at shop's storage area, it is a shaded warehouse but looks to be not temperature controlled. In this condition, will the summer tire degrade after 6 months of storage?

Thank you for the suggestion. Just now I’m going to workshop and the mechanic suggest Bridgestone ER33 for rm380, is it good bargain compare to Goodyear?

I see. Have you heard of Giti tyre? Is it good brand?

To be honest, never heard about Bridgestone ER33 before 🤣

Thank you for your advice and input bro.

The reason I posted this question is because, in my previous Alza (2014 model), I was using PS3 all the way. It was superb especially on wet braking and good tyre response time. But it was very noisy. The stock tires were Silverstone 185/60R15, but I upgrade it to PS3 195/55R15. But I realised that the speedometer was inaccurate, and the side thread worn out quickly. The PS3 usually last me for +/- 45k – 50k mileage.

This time, a person asked me to try Primacy 4 ST instead of PS4 ST.

Thanks for your reply. Wonder if anyone here can recommend a good tyre shop in Penang with competitive price and okay service quality?

My ride is a 2014 Honda city running on 185/55/r16, any recommendation for decent tyre around rm240-270 each? Travel long distance on weekly basis, with around 10k mileage every 3-4 months.
Currently running on Goodyear ATM2, but feel that it is getting very noisy after 1 year (~40k km) of driving. Thread wear is about to hit the mark, thus getting ready to replace them soon.

Should I upgrade to 195/55/r16 instead of staying 185/55/r16? Ride is kinda bumpy in the rear Honda city (not sure about others, maybe it's my bad suspension) so don't wanna reduce the tyre profile.
