Hi guys, Morning! Newbie here, need some advise in deciding and price guide on tyres. I have a 1.5 wira manual with 15" RIMS. Currently I am using 195/55/15 sime type which is crap. I intend to change since some part of the tyre is cracking up. I get lot of recommendation for Bridgestone MY01 195/50/15. I ask the shop they selling RM178/-. Is it recommended and worth getting for this tyre? And what is the difference if I change from 55 down to 50? Other yokohama same series is selling RM165. Is this good too? Thanks in advance!  |

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Jun 11 2008, 01:50 PM) what brand tyres are you using now? I'm using Bridgestone MY-01...no comment. Kinda noisy and uncomfortable but that's also coz I'm using 195/50 instead of 195/55...and my rear tyres ady almost bald so no comfort there  I'm thinking of getting Silverstone Synergy M5... Currently using a Sime Astar. Total crap, have to really keep your distance from car in front of you when it rain or wet. As of now my car is in the workshop changing to Bridgestone MY-01 195/50/15. I think i trade grip over confort anytime. Got too much near misses already. Just now workshop call me my stabilizer bar putus. Gosh, gonna have additional cost now.  The Silverstone Synergy M5 good? |

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Jun 11 2008, 03:46 PM) Synergy M5 is one of the few tyres that claims to save fuel by reducing rolling resistance. I think the tyre threads is not as good as Bridgestone but if it helps save fuel, I don't mind I tried the other Synergy M3 with my old car when it first came out a couple of years ago. Can't remember if it got save fuel or not ady...but that time it was a 13" and I only changed front 2 tyres.  Oh my, had I known earlier would have given it a thought too since petrol price is increasing,  |

QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Jun 11 2008, 04:34 PM) then you should know these first... there are only 3 brands playing the fuel efficient tyres card...Michelin, Silverstone and one other I forgot. Probably Goodyear. Michelin tyres are damn expensive and their FC effectiveness are roughly the same as the other 2 brands so I suggest going for the cheaper of the 3. Silverstone and the other brand should be around the same price but Silverstone's Synergy M5 is more widely promoted so it should be easier to find...maybe bargain too. But I hear Silverstone tyres are noisy, can't confirm that for now... Considering petrol will DEFINITELY increase in the few years you use these next set of tyres, I'd definitely go for something that can save me a few miles...if you accumulate the amount you save over the lifetime of those FC saving tyres, I think its more than enough to buy you a whole new set of sports tyres  Thank for the info man. Will defintely look into these tyres the next time i change. Just got my Bridgestone MY01 195/50/15. The handling and stability in corner improve so much. No more wobble and floating feel from the 55. Steering also feel much lighter.  |
