If you mean performance tyres, those days had Yoko AD-07 and Michelin PP2, but nowadays no more.
I think you have to use the normal A-Drive, Conti CC5, and so on.
The best I can think of is Kumho KU31 but nowadays also Made in Vietnam already....

 

[JINEIL2EN]

yup.. still can get, but the price raise from last time.. now bout rm260per pcs dy...

Then should be quite old stock. My friend last got his 185/60R14 for RM200 plus also but manufacturing date is 2 years plus already

 

[JINEIL2EN]

nop, the tires is 2011yrs 1... not consider as old...

 

[vr2turbo]

Your find is fresher, as AD-07 already stop production.
My friend got his is dated 2010, and supply also last few sets only....

I don't think they have this size in RE-080. The one I saw are RE-030

A bit pricey, but good performance tyres for this size which cannot get in other brands/models nowadays.....

That's cheap.

I got my 185/55/14 AD07 for 250 a piece. 2009 one sommore (but bought last year la)

Btw, I doubt AD07 comes in anything smaller than 185. Are you sure about the 165?

Could be 185/55R14 is special size. My friend manage to get 185/60/R14 at RM220 also that is why I mention for 165/55R14 at RM220 is pricey.
Yes, there is 165/55R14 for AD-07, my other friend use before....

 

[ernest0205]

This is not latest price from importers, just that the tyre dealer have them in stock where others don't so can charge higher price.....

There is size 165/55/14 for AD07. I had a set on my track kancil before. But that was 4 to 5 years ago. They already stopped production for the AD07 two years ago. Not sure they have this size for the AD08 though. Now on SNF, the Kancils are running on R888 185/60/14s already.

Nope, very sad that they stop that size with AD-08.....

as I know,whether it is new stock Or old stock,distributors will offer latest price although it is old stock.I got this when I order yokohama a drive last months 5211.waiting two months for this tyre which I couldn't find in many outlet.so there is no choice for shops to sell at lower price.this is what I know and from my friend from a shop.it's okay if u can get cheaper than this.
