Maxxis Victra I-Pro?

Went to TMK Rawang (Shah Alam) for those tires, although they are not the cheapest in town, service level was relatively good

Hi can I ask about UC6 19 inch tyre? I am currently driving Proton X70 CKD that's using 19 inch UC6, 3 years plus with around 30k ran. Thinking of changing tyres soon and appreciate if UC6 19 inch is the safe option or is there a cheaper/better alternative. Car uses mostly for short trips like less than 1km or around 30km to 50km. Hardly go on longer trips.

Thank you for suggestion.

225/55R19 size, right?

You could consider Hankook Ventus Prime 4

Thank you. I will go ask and check it out.

If your driving SUV, get the 1 rated with SUV tires.
Normal road tires the sidewall is not durable compare to like SUV rated.
For Hankook equivalent SUV tire should be Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV for your 19" size

Another honorable mention from Korean side: Nexen RU1

Equivalent to Hankook value: performance ratio tire brand: Falken FK510 SUV

If just want cheap/budget option: Toyo CR1 SUV

OK thanks. Already ask my usual tyre shop guys Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV 19 inch and Toyo CR1 SUV. As I should be changing car next year, maybe only need the tyre to last less than 2 years.

Is the CR1 the worst performer of the lot?

In term of what? Budget tires sure cannot be compete with higher range tires in term of performance.
If just want cheap & comfort tires CR1 does the job well. You pay what you get.

Most likely, you usually get what you paid for.

Toyo Proxes CR1 is essentially a successor of Toyo NanoEnergy 3, which is an Eco tire.

Proxes CR1 is claimed to reduce road noise by 11% and aquaplaning by 2% compared to the NanoEnergy 3.

So, you can figure it out it's performance.

It is basically an Eco tire, dressed up as an entry level touring tire.

Hi tyre specialist, are these tyre still usable for another 1 year? Just barely reach 5 years of manufactured age, already can see the skin wrinkles...

Why not? That is on the treads and very minimal.

Most premium tire brands models also will get similar condition after few years or usage, if no serious crack line on the sidewalls or metal shreds/wire mesh come out/seen it is still usable.

How about tyres like these?

When is your tires manufacturing date? I have seen even worse condition and used without issues, if below 5 years and moderately driven it can last until the end of the lifespan. Unless you like to drive like a racer and a lot of high speed cornering than is better to change.

Hi guys, i saw my tire ps4 kena stuck with a screw, temporary fixed it via tire seal string as the shop closing and i hard to travel, should i get it patched with the patch plug? Or can live with the seal string? Some ppl say ok some say no, the tire had 11k mileage, 1year+ age

best budget 4x4 tyre, only weekend used gravel road?

Has the tire been losing any pressure since then?

Also, where is the location of the puncture?

Middle of the tread but is at the groove. U mean after using string seal plug? Just did it ytd, actually the screw stuck inside for quite some time but the pressure before sealing is 30psi, normal is 36psi. Gonna monitor for 1-2weeks

Middle of the reads why worry so much? If your on the sidewalls then different story.

cos search google most say the plug is temporary only lol.

If no leak why worry so much? Some of my plugs i buy from Mr.DIY use until today no leak also and still drive as usual.
Unless is very big hole or hit sidewall, then the inner round patch or some people say rat tail patch will need to be use.
