Hi Pro,

Is it safe to drive with this tyre?

Just to add so that it answers your question directly:

The number indicates how much of that material is present. There are two places where this is checked and labelled:
1. The tread counts the number of material if you cut through the tire directly in the middle
2. The sidewall counts the number of material as you cut through the sidewall

So for example:
Tread: 1 polyester + 2 steel + 2 nylon
Sidewall 2 polyester
This means that there is 1 polyester body ply at the middle of the tire followed by 2 layers of steel belts and finally 2 layers of nylon cap material that is present at the center of the tire (from bottom to top)

At the sidewall there is 2 layers of body ply material. In this case it is the same ply material that is found at the center but wrapped around by the bead and runs up the sidewall.

Different tires will have different combination of body ply, and nylon cap depending on its speed rating and required performances. All car tires will have 2 layers of steel belts.

What are the best tires for 225/65/17 size wheels for a quiet driving experience?

Hi there, looking for recommendation for 215/50/17. I've been using stock 215/45/17 on my 8 yr old car. Previously mc5 -> uc6 -> uc6 currently. I would want uc7 or uc6 again but price has been increased since before. I'm thinking to change to 215/50/17 for better comfort. Appreciate if anyone can recommend other options with similar performance or so as uc6 but at a budget of 1.2-1.4k max. Thanks again.

Hi, currently using GT Radial CHAMPIRO SX2 215/45R/17. Why is this tyre so noisy? Is it normal?

I around 10 months old, probably 10K+ KM running. The more I use, the more noiser it getting I guess? Hard to describe, can say it echo so much like bearing problem sound but foreman checked, it not my bearing.

TS my car is coming to 13years now. It it worth it to install a new Michelin Primacy tyre?

Previously also using primacy tyre.

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

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

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

Thanks.
If the shop dont have XM2+, any Michelin also okie? PS3 okie?
which more expesive.... sorry no experience on tyre

..... thanks. ur website is very useful. Price also have. the newest?
Seem i found here XM2+ cost 260 higher then u there, which 220

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 ?

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

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.

I’ve been running semi-slicks on public road, and i think I can’t ever go back to normal tyres like pilot sport 5, as that tyre just cannot keep up with my big brake kit, and activates abs so early, really rendering some perks of my bbk useless.

Any unknown downsides on semi slick for public road? I only know

1.tire wear is extremely short (20k if don’t have too much aggressive weekend drives, or 1.5yr~ for tyre life).

2.shitty wet grip, well i take that as a good thing as i’ll slow the fk down when it’s raining, heck even before moving to semislick i already very prone to aquaplane with 275 wide tyre.

3.a need to always make sure/aware of tyre temp/ is warmed up before any huge cornering forces is applied.

4. Nvh? But hell I don’t care about nvh in a car, i got a proper house to properly appreciate a peaceful quiet time, a car is to drive not to live in.

5. Annoys the fuck outta your fellow friends behind you with the amount of sand/stones your sticky tyre will throw at them

Hey TS

Just out of curiosity as I had a look at your price list. I notice Potenza RE004 and Michelin PS3 has been omitted from your list.
I was looking specifically at 195/50/R15.

Is there a reason for this?

Cheers!

Is tyre counterfeit common in Malaysia? How to check whether genuine or not?
Replacing accord 2010 all 4 tyres tomorrow. For 1k budget, any recommendations?

Using 4 yokohama blueearth ES tyres before but hit some metal piece on the road and 1 tyre bursted.

Workshop didn't have the same tyre and i forced to get a triplemax 2, workshop said the thread pattern similar.

However, when i sent my car to SC, the service advisor claims that not all tyre same, hence it cant be balanced/aligned, is it true?
