QUOTE(epjx31 @ Aug 8 2022, 08:19 PM) Could not find any label indication for Toyo CR1. For Nexen RU1 , it is label A for wet and RR D. thanks tyre sifu. will change my old goodyear efficientgrip to RU1 soon. the price is very tempting. RM388 per donut.Based on this RU1 would be my choice .  |

QUOTE(oldkidzai @ Aug 9 2022, 10:01 AM) I'm driving proton x50 (currently using continental UC6 215/55/18). I had replace aftermarket wheels (spec :18x8.5JJ Et+42 PCD5HX114.3). Currently I planning to change my 4 tyres. I'm looking for tyres that more grip in wet/dry. I had ask few tyres shop. They recommend me use 235/50/18. Kindly please advise what size of tyre should i get and any recommended for which tyre to get. 235 profile more wider more grip. suitable for your new 8.5jj rims. then all you need is UHP tyre like michelin PS4 SUV for better wet/dry conditions. |

QUOTE(oldkidzai @ Aug 9 2022, 01:48 PM) Beside PS4 SUV, what else suitable? get all rounder michelin primacy suv or goodyear efficientgrip2 performance suv..both recommended by tyresreview youtube. but sadly goodyear malaysia dont bring that anymore. others can try hankook s1 evo3 SUV but rarely available or newly released pirelli rosso. other mainstream suv tyre such as goodyear maxguard suv, conti uc6, toyo proxes cr1, yokohama bluearth xt, nexen ru1. since my budget kecik, i want to try nexen ru1 after this. price is cheaper compared to other brand with AA traction rating.  |

QUOTE(LuqmanRustam @ Aug 9 2022, 11:14 PM) "I don't mind sacrificing my handling" was one of my sentences but alright. Using ce28 Taiwans. FC is still good, just wondered if changing to wheels with a smaller width would help with FC. better change to lighter wheel like advanti storm series. very light weight. |
