I have ask also 225/45/18 ss595 rm 485 per piece.in shah alam also.205/50/15 rsr rm 380 per piece.hope this is helpful.
50 series aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 50% of your tyre width.would like to ask some question....
I am driving a Myvi year 2008 n now my tires are almost time to change (almost bold). My current tire is 195/55/15 and is Falken ZE912.
1st question. Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max and Continental CC5 which should I go for?
2nd question. what is the difference between 55 series and 50 series?
3rd question. If I change from 55 to 50 will it affect fuel consumption?
For question number 1. I still got other option in my mind, Silverstone Atlantis V7, Dunlop Formula D01 or China brand tires.
Or you guys have any other tires to intro? my budget is around RM230.
What priorities in your "Best"? Comfort , handling, etc....if im using 225/50/17, whats the best tyre to choose?
50 series aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 50% of your tyre width.
This means 195 x 50%= 97.5mm
If 195/55 then 195 x 55%= 107.25mm
From your original tyre size of 175/65R14 (Myvi) 195/55R15 diameter is bigger by 2.1%
If use 195/50R15 the overall diameter is smaller by 1.23%
Do you have tyre scrapping problem in your rear wheels? If not, then can continue using 55 series. 55 is more comfortable only. 195/50 will handle better but more bumpy ride.
Between the two, 50 series will give you better FC (very slight and depends on driving style too) and better pick up because of the smaller diameter.
What are your priorities in the tyrres you are looking for?
Since you have budget already forget the China tyres. Take a look at Yokohama New C-Drive 2.
For performance Hankook V12Evo also good.
Also depends on the tyre model. If soft sidewall type, then even 50 series may not be that bumpy, then again at what air pressure you are using also plays a part.I see... I dont hav any priority, just want the tire to behave in dry n wet days n not so noisy...My car I am using adjustable so the back I make it a bit higher so did not counter any scrubbing to the tires.. just want to know for 50 series how bumpy will the ride be? is it even a very small hole on the road we will still feel it?
ok.. maybe I will change to 50 series... will ask the price for Hankook V12. How bout Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max and Continental CC5? do you have experience or heard any comment on this 2 tyres?Also depends on the tyre model.

Michelin PS3 and Hankook V12Evo are pretty good tyres for dry and wet. Hankook should be slightly cheaper
CC5 are Conti entry level tyres, more for comfort. GY Assurance fuel max should be mid level and more toward durability and less rolling resistance. If you want wet and dry grip you will need to get UHP tyres.ok.. maybe I will change to 50 series... will ask the price for Hankook V12.

I see... how to know the tyre is UHP tyres? is there any indication on marks on the tyres to tell us is UHP? sorry that I do not know much about tyres.. only know how to see which has the beautiful treat...CC5 are Conti entry level tyres, more for comfort.

Nope not indicated. You need to know the respective tyre model in their respective brands.I see... how to know the tyre is UHP tyres? is there any indication on marks on the tyres to tell us is UHP? sorry that I do not know much about tyres.. only know how to see which has the beautiful treat...
I see... I think I need to do more home work before I start the hunt...by the way thanks bro..Nope not indicated. You need to know the respective tyre model in their respective brands.
Many went by price but that also not indicative as premium brand are higher priced, so an entry level tyres of premium brand would be close to another mid level category of another brand.
UHP performance models also starts in 15" category and comes in 55 series aspect ratio and below.
60 series and above also mostly are mid and entry level for comfort.
Some example as follows:-
UHP/Max
Michelin PS3, Yoko S-Drive, BS RE-002, Falken FK453, Toyo T1-R, T1-Sports, Dunlop Sport Maxx TT, GY Asy 2, F1 D5,
Mid
MIchelin PLC, Yoko C-Drive 2, BS GR-90, Falken ZE-912, Toyo DRB, Dunlop D-01, GY Efficient Grip, Assurance
Entry
Michelin XM2, Yoko A-Drive, BS B series, Falken ZE-322, 326, Toyo Teo, Dunlop J3, GY Ducaro, Duraplus
