[BLANk]

aku pakai tayar murah jer....nexen n8000

vr2turbo really familiar with this brand....hehe

not only nexen...he is a tire encyclopedia!!!kekekeke

 

[vr2turbo]

I never experience this tyre.......BTW, ever tried this before?? Nitto NeoGen...
For me, this is the best all-rounder tyre I ever use.....grip, noise, comfort, everything I need, they never dissapoint

Where do get the Nitto tyres. I have been inspecting them only when I am in Bangkok. Last year BKK Motor show they had a booth. They have pretty good line up and thread pattern very special....

No lah! Just a hobby. Of course cheap, expensive, good, bad etc., must know then can see which is value for money and what is top range etc.
For daily use, to me value for money is also the best. For example, if a tyre cost half the price but have 80% performance of the former, then it is worth it, right?

As far as I know, not much shops carries the Sports Maxx and for your size of 195/50/R16, very little choices. I only know of Conti CSC1 (Satria OE tyres), Kumho Ecsta SPT KU-31, Yoko A-Drive R1 (AR-01) and Silverstone Astar 300.
You can change also to 205/45/R16 or 205/50/R16. The diameter of 45 series is about 1.7% smaller and 50 series about 1.6% bigger, both within the 3% limit, but before you go into this, check your rims width and wheel arch clearance.

Yup, had a few members with the Swift ask me about this tyre problem already.
205/45/R16 minimum is 6.5JJ, however 205/50/R16 minimum is 5.5JJ, but best is 6.5JJ. This means 6JJ is possible.
Either that or just got back to same size and choose from the 4 tyres mentioned.....or look around to see if other makes have come out with that size.

i have read this thread about Dunlop FM 901 and decided to give it a try. So today i bought a pair of it. BUT i think i am going to sell it because i think i might have bought the wrong size. Originally i was using 205/45/16 all around. Then i was thinking of changing to 50 series "when the time comes". As the time comes i bought the 50 Series of Dunlop FM901. But unfortunately it hits my fender. huhuh.. so i am thinking of selling it.. and get 45 series of the FM901.

 

[vr2turbo]

Once you want to change tyre size, especially to larger, must already look out for rear wheel clearance and front wheel full turn clearance.....

 

[JiMastra]

yeah, i think that is where i did my mistake..

 

[vr2turbo]

So must get buyer for wrong size tyre.....

 

[saifzwan]

just bought the fm901 a month ago (225/45/18)
i bought a wrong size actually.. unlike toyo c1s/t1r or potenza re050 i used before (225/45/18)..
fm901 is slightly fatter than the brand i mention earlier as it rubs my inner wall badly..:hmpf:

it's not fair if i compare this tire with proxes/potenza/advan model as the price i bought was only RM380/piece(born in 2011), for me, i could describe this tire is far worthy compare to other china/indon/malaysia brand tire.

threadwear:200, traction:A

i did'nt regret buying this but i don't think that i'm going to buy this tire again..

You did not buy wrong size, but actually this model is made broader (wider) like Yoko S-Drive. Probably your wheel clearance too narrow therefore it scrap the inner wall.
This model also pretty noisy and with traction A not too good in the wet.

 

[Jakk]

i using this model too, overall is good.

I wondering, is the spec 225/50/17 available?

thanks.

 

[vr2turbo]

Only saw 215/50R17, but also not sure if they still bring in this model....
