if price is not much an issue, michelin pilot preceda should meet your requirement.

reason why your camry can cut water without problem on normal tyres are due to the fact that your camry is heavier than wira, therefore making it more stable and produce more contact to the road, compared to the lighter wira.

u should say because of the heavy car body, the pressure of the 4 wheels towards the ground is increase

Thank you so much... especially for the website...

From the Michelin website, it seems the MXV8 are the best on papers... and price listed on the

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=377857&hl=

Michelin MXV8 (Japan) - Rm290 Puchong
Michelin MXV8 (Japan) - Rm285 Hin Leong

also indicating they are slightly more expensive than others... so make sense...

I guess this should be the model I am looking for... right?

Few questions here;

Q1: Where is the manufacturing date printed? And does MXV8 only from Japan?

Q2: About 205/45/R16, what does the number mean? My car is 195 right? How about other number?

if want comfort then dont go for 45 series, go for 205/50R16 or 205/55R16, 45 will be more bumpy compare to 50 bumpy

Thanks.. I belive the car is heavy la... Look at the fuel consumption speak it all..
Good... As fat as me... I like it  drool.gif
What does the 45, 50 series mean... Please explain....  notworthy.gif
Thanks... Might get those if what I wanted is too expensive... like RM400 or more per tyre...
Seems Michelin got the highest and consistence supporters here.

45 and 50 series means the height of the sidewall, for example, 205/50R16, which means the height of the side wall is 50% of the width of tyre, also can said as the sidewall is 50% of 205, almost like 102.6 something like that.

Xm1 wont be near RM400, it will be somewhere below RM300 maybe? just stay away from NCT5, my uncle's camry change 4 tyres to NCT5, RM300 per tyre, profile is 215/60R14, pity for him and his son that know nuts about tyres and dont listen to my advice sad.gif

Thanks for all the great explanation...

So I assume Camry default width is 195 right?

About the middle number, which number should I focus on? Which the best and comfortable, silent?  tongue.gif

From threads that I can read... Seems minimum must be 50... or 55...

And when I look at the price section, I saw got 65...

So what is the differences between 50, 55 and 65?

camry default is 195? i though is 215 sweat.gif i never drive before so i dont know

better dont get 65, it is more comfort but handling not precise, and if u use 205/65R15 it will be hell thick, iif me i prefer to use 50 or 55 series, cheaper in price.

the thinner the sidewall the better the handling but sacrifice the comfort and if sidewall too thin the rim will be very easy to "bengkok" when going through bumby road or small hole

thicker sidewall will be very comfort, but the handling r not that good and precise as compare to 50 and 55 series.

i dont think those big cars like camry and BMW and mercedes will use 65 series tyres, mostly for 13" and 14", sometime 15" also, but as wat i see, starting from 15" they normally use 60 series.

that's wat i know la, ever since i know this i'm trying to convince my parents not to get made in malaysia tyres lower profile tyres, correct me if i'm wrong.
