Hey first of all would you be so kind to fill up the Tire mileage review ?

Based on my price table here,

Toyo Nano Energy NE03 185/55R15 198
Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 185/55R15 204
Continental ComfortContact 6 CC6 185/55R15
232
Michelin Energy XM2+ 185/55R15 280

CC6 is well known for its good noise capabilities.

However xm2+ would still be the top choice due to its wet braking and mileage balance

Hi there,

I had a quick look and F1 sport seem like a good choice. Based on its brochure, its wet braking is the same as asymmetric 5 see PS4 vs asymmetric 5

In my opinion sounds like a good choice if you are going for wet without regards for mileage performance.

Don't forget to put your fresh pair or tires at the rear.

Hopes this helps.

Goor price same as my table.

By the way could you be so kind to fill in the tire mileage info about your old tires ?

-->here

I am pretty sure xm2+ will be better:)

Tires can be still used. However just monitor your tire more frequently ( 2 weeks once ) for a more cautions approach. If there are chunks of material peeling off at a high rate, it needs to be look at once again.

Thanks.

This 175/60R15 is definitely a unique size as my tire price table yields no results.

It seems like an off size which not many top brands are in. A quick check only good year has this size. No clue about it's performance but I guess you have not much choices 😜

You can have a quick look on my inch up tool here.

Based on my check it's not really an option.

Ok sorry but the principal holds the same.

you are shifting from 195/55R16 to 205/55R16 which means

current outer diameter: 620.9mm

Target size outer diameter: 631.9mm

= 1.74% difference.

usually the industry standard is <3%, so it should fit.

Do check you have 10 mm wide space and also extra 10mm clearance needed for your outer diameter.

yes strange indeed

First question: You should based on your tire tread depth to gauge whether you need to change tire & not based on mileage. Measure it via a ruler and it should be legally more than 1.6mm.

2nd question. If there is not price difference, fore sure you should got with PS5 with improved wet braking.

Thanks.

Usually before recommending tires, I would like to ask what is your requirements?

These are the options based on my price table below:

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225/45R18 1138
Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/45R18 435
Goodyear EfficientGrip 225/45R18 482
Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 225/45R18 508
Continental UC6 225/45R18 (UC6) 582
Continental Max Contact 6 225/45R18 595
Michelin Primacy 4st 225/45R18 660
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 225/45R18 733
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/45R18 (NEW PS5) 745
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 ROF 225/45R18 798

Michelin Primacy 4st seems at RM 660 sounds like a good buy to me

Based on my price table :

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Continental UC6 SUV 235/55R19 802

I have only one option, however when I search deeper there is also Toyo proxes CR1, Assurance MaxGuard SUV & MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 SUV

Wet handling wise it would be either UC6 SUV or Primacy 4 SUV.

tire usually can last up to 10 years so 3 years is really no issues.

Regarding the sidewall crack this is a safety issue. Could you take a picture so that I can have a look? --> this is usually serious and could lead to accident in worse cases.

If you have significant tread depth, you could replace the one with sidewall crack first (depending on the seriousness) & keep the other 3 tires.

Based on my price table, here are some options

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 215/45R17 308
Toyo Nano Energy NE03 215/45R17 314
Kumho Ecsta PS31 215/45R17 343
Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 215/45R17 345
Continental UC6 215/45R17 (NEW UC7) 360
Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 215/45R17 365
Continental Max Contact 6 215/45R17 388
Michelin Primacy 4st 215/45R17 460
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 215/45R17 (NEW PS5) 480

Usage is on thing, but what is your main requirement? Wet, Mileage ? or value?

the new UC7 with major improvements at RM360 sounds like a bargain to me.

Hi there,

Bridgestone ER 33 is an OE product mostly for Infiniti, Lexus and Toyota sedans & SUVs. So it is not tested widely.

However CC6 is on the best in terms of noise this I know for sure.

I have no data about the wet grip for ER 33 so I can not comment on that.

What size are we talking about? are these your only 2 options? what is more important noise or wet grip?

First you have to ensure there is no visible cracks on the sidewall. You should do this anyhow every time you pump your gas.

Aside from that, your tires should be good for up to 10 years.

However you have to understand the trade off as tires are older, they tend to harden which will decrease their wet braking capability <5%. This should not be the main reason why you need to change tires

However after 10 years, you should definitely consider to change just to be on the safe side due to various oxidation & degradation effects.

Exactly right. Free free to use your Michelin's for a much longer time

based on my observation, these are mostly reserved for china tires

It sounds like a nice strategy but consumers aint dumb, they know how to use the calculator

A few questions inside your post, but i like it

____________________________________________________________

There are 2 train of thoughts here when you have a new pair of tires.

If you want to maximize safety, you should always put it on the rear as rear aquaplaning is a big risk (see video link here )

If you want to maximize for cost, you should put in the front as you will wear faster for FWD to save your rotation cost. But in my eyes this should be avoided at all cost.

For your 185/65R15, based on my price table

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Viking CityTech CT6 185/65R15 198
Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 185/65R15 212
Dunlop SP Sport J6 185/65R15 218
Continental ComfortContact 6 CC6 185/65R15 253
Michelin Energy XM2+ 185/65R15 266

With your wet vs mileage requirements, I would highly go for XM2+. How much mileage did you get for XM2?
_____________________________________________________________

For your 215/55r16, based on my price table

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Toyo Nano Energy NE03 215/55R16 325
Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 215/55R16 398
Continental UC6 215/55R16 (UC6) 470
Michelin Primacy 4st 215/55R16 510

With your requirement "comfort, range, braking and value" I would suggest Triple Max 2.

XM2 will be replaced by XM2+ I guess this is the reason?
