Dear epjx31,
215/45R17
Toyota Altezza RS200
Michelin PS4
Front left tyre got punctured on the sidewall.
Yesterday learned from 1 tiktok video: tyre sidewall damage cannot be repaired.
Looking to replace front 2 tyres.
Drive style comfort and relax, car for balik kampung during weekend.
Considering
1. Maxxis Ipro Vitra
2. Bridgestone RE004
3. Ventus Prime 4
4. Ventus S1 evo3 - closest dimensions is 205/45R17
Appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

QUOTE(littlefire @ Jul 17 2024, 11:17 AM) Personally, PS4 is the top UUHP/Max Performance tires in market beating even the newest PS5 tire in term of performance. If you can let go of the higher performance and go for comfort and relax style you will need to downgrade to premium touring type tires. In the list only Ventus Prime 4 is in that premium touring category, the rest is either in Max performance or UHP tires range. QUOTE(amscouzach57 @ Jul 17 2024, 09:54 PM) Bridgestone Potenza Adrenaline RE004 should be an entry level UHP. Above this tire should be Bridgestone Potenza Sport. Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127 is also a UHP tire. Above this should be the new Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z K129 Thank you for your feedbacks. This post has been edited by pandikar: Jul 18 2024, 08:26 AM |

Is it a good idea to pair Maxxis Victra IPRo or Hankook Ventus Prime 4 at one end with Michelin PS4 at the other end? Should I choose tyres that are equal/almost equal to PS4 i.e. Bridgestone RE004 or Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3? |

QUOTE(dwRK @ Jul 18 2024, 03:31 PM) how much more bunga you have in your ps4?... if >50% can try find used ps4... tahan until change all 4... since you don't drive aggressive, should be ok to pair good touring tires... Think >80%, because after put on PS4 , travelled only 19,500km before realize front left sidewall punctured. Or should I replace the punctured one with used PS4?

QUOTE(dwRK @ Jul 18 2024, 04:22 PM) if me >80% i will try find a used ps4... where are you from? im shopping for new shoes can try look out for you... actually i would even consider buying a new one... Thank you for your recommendations. I am from Penang. Found used PS4 on Shopee. RM240 each. Minimum order 2 pcs. Not worth it. At that price, might as well buy new Maxxis Victra IPRo. If lower-tier tyre is not an issue to couple with PS4, I plan to put Maxxis at the front. This post has been edited by pandikar: Jul 19 2024, 08:04 AM |

QUOTE(littlefire @ Jul 29 2024, 08:55 AM) In local market, best value/budget now is Toyo CR1. Read your old replies in other threads about Falken 310 and Falken 832. In terms of performance : price ratio, Toyo CR1 is better than both Falken 310 and Falken 832? |

QUOTE(littlefire @ Apr 29 2025, 01:24 PM) https://www.michelin.com.my/auto/advice/cha...g-do-tyres-lastTyre age limit : the 10-year thresholdIf the tyres have not been replaced 10 years after their date of manufacture, Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres as a precaution. You can check our partners' tyre shops at Tyreplus to get your tyres replaced From 5 years of use In 5 years, your tyres will probably have been run over many different surfaces and perhaps have suffered shocks. After 5 years of use, have them checked by a professional at least once a year. This will ensure that they have not been damaged prematurely and that they do not endanger you or your passengers. What kind of specific inspections for tyres more than 5 years? Have one Toyota Corolla SE with last replaced 185/60R14 in Dec 2019. Car only for weekend drive, haven't reached 5,000km. Plan to change all 4 until I read your post. |
