Why not? Age of your car doesn't change what type of tyres you need.

old car you will no enjoy the fullest of it. Maybe

For sure, I would definitely recommend to use the best wet braking tire on the market if you have the means.

Hi, my tyre start to peel near the texture area. Is it still safe to use? Thanks

Could you show us a picture? That would really help.

Usually you would not want to risk anything near the sidewall as this is where the tire flexes

Hi, thanks for the help. I already attach the picture. Thanks for your help and info. Appreaciate it 😀

Hi thanks for your picture.

It seems like this is a cup and chip issue. and it is on the shoulder area.

Based on my opinion, it should be still safe to drive. Just ensure you check your tire more often both visually and also the air pressure.

Leao Tyres acceptable?

or what tyres recommend? Local?
Michellin or CC?
Axia 175/60R road in sabah not really nice

Okay TS,

Which one better? Run Flat tyre or Self Sealing Tyre?

What's the different

Would not recommend China tires.

I wrote an article about axia here

If you have the money, XM2+ is the best.

Run flat tires are tires which have a very thick sidewall to support your car's weight when there is no pressure.

Self sealing tires are tires which has a layer of rubber inside the inner liner to seal what whatever puncture you have.

In my opinion, run flat tires are technically much better as it does not limit your size of puncture & it does not mess up your rim.

It is also much more available in the market due to OE tire specs. Have not seen much self sealing tires in Malaysia market tho

Thanks.
If the shop dont have XM2+, any Michelin also okie? PS3 okie?

PS3 is quite over kill but should give you top performance.

What options do your shop provides?

So which one more cost effective against puncture or long run?

Run flat tyre you still need to get your tyre fix during punctures except that it allowed you to run to workshop and drive normally to workshop without problem...

As for self sealing tyre it fixed itself with the preinstalled sealant inside the tyre wall.

Run flat tyre is thick on the sidewall and this can affect FC of the car in long run due to thick wall of the tyre and heavier rubber material.

So mind to share your opinion ?

Thanks sifu.
Get already. price rm250. in another shop. acceptable bah.

Good point, I guess this depends on how much the price difference between the tires. I do expect sealant to be priced much lower compare to run flat. However it is very unlikely to have a sealant, run flat on the same size.

If the price is the same, of course sealant make sense, the question is how long can your tire last with the nail inside & how comfortable yo are with this.

Thanks.

epjx31 are there any EV specific tires in our market? lets say low noise is a high priority? got any noise cancelling tires? - thank you in advance

Size - 235/45 R19, original tire used by manufacturer is I think Continental EcoContact 6Q

To be honest EV specific tire is a hoax to me. The only thing EV vehicle cares about is range and rolling resistance is the key. But reducing RR and calling yourself EV specific tire line is marketing art of work.

Noise cancellation is really hard to achieve due to the natural frequencies of the tire, however one of the best noise tire is continental comfort 6 which sets the benchmark how quiet the tire can be.

Hello TS. I'm surveying for new set of 205/55/16.
Looking for best value and longest mileage, but reasonable performance.
Currently using maxxis, but it worn out quite fast.
