Is it normal for a brand new car to come with 2022 tyres?

I have received my brand new proton x70 2025 a month ago but the ride is very bad and harsh. It’s bouncing even at normal road.

Sent to service centre for 6-7 times but can’t identify the problem. SC keep denied by saying it’s “normal”.

Today I found out that my rear tyres are without manufacture date and only has a printed “2022” there.

Is it normal for new car to fit with such old tyres? Would it be one of the cause that make the car behave bouncing and uncomfortable ride?

We are at 2024 but you already in 2025? Typo?

Proton x70 market their car as "future" car which to be named as Proton x70 2025

That's very helpful of you. Oh yes, 20 for 20th week and 22 for the year. Oh damn! That's pretty old for a brand new car.

What brand of tyres that came with your 2025 X70?

Giti Savero SUV.

I have the executive specs

Try inflating the tyres to 230-240Kpa. I found that my Conti works better at higher pressure than the recommended pressure by SC.

Eh no more Continental?

Tried 220 230 240.
Problem still persist.
SC is helpless
Not sure how to make some noise to have their attention

UC6 reserved for premium specs

Giti aint great to begin with.

Agreed! I would usually change to Michelin after end of the cycle.

But I rarely change tyre as the car would travel only less than 10k a year.

So it's still long way to go for me.

Coz the tyre kinda sucks.

Check your pressure, they like to pump it up to the heavens for some reason. Push it down to like 220 for a better ride.

you mean Giti Radial or the UC6?

What tyres would you advise? I don't mind to pay something extra for quality ride.

Currently my myvi using michelin PS3 and I am satisfy with the ride.

Oh yes! They pumped all the way to 300kPa when I first picked up the car and now I adjusted it according to the door sticker which is 220kPa.

That Giti isn't that great. The Conti is much better but of course pricey.

AFAIK it's very common for manufacturers to pump tyres with higher pressure.

Ok, thanks. This is news to me.

if you are not sure wheres the problem, bring to normal mechanic to check.

my place just check usually no cost.

Taller car usually feel more bouncy as compare to sedan, no?

Different from when you test drive?

Used to drive x70 premium variant 19inch, pump rhe air to 250kpa

New tyre 2 years old, no issue punya provided it was being stored properly

Email to proton care as well

2 year old tires are still roadworthy. Just don't know how long the tires have been stationary. Not sure if there are flat spots. Do you feel the tires rotate okay?

Wait..have you check the geran Year of made of your car is when??

There’s no problem with the tyres it’s the car, it’s a rebadged ccp car mapren…

If I am not mistaken the Mekanika channel youtuber mentioned that the new x70 ride is “keras”. Maybe same feeling like you have right now.

Edit: added the Youtube video. Go to minute 11:50.

X70 ride tall and kind of floaty, but it’s not bouncy.

Granted Giti are known to be great but should not be that bad in the first place. Have you tried front back tyre rotation? Since Giti is not a directional pattern can go for x-rotation.

Not count by year then week?

Year 2020. Week 22.

Hehehe

tire sudah kena swap by SA before delivery. hahaha

Dude, that's NOT normal. Three-year-old tires on a brand new car? Absolutely not. Those tires are probably hardened and worn, which would definitely cause a harsh ride. Push back HARDER with the service center.

Check the rear suspension

Why same issue cannot put in same thread?

It's seasoned tyre
