Suitable Tyre for A32 Stock Rim

[excimo]

Could you please tell me from your experience, what brand of tyre would best suit the 15 inch stock rim.

I want comfort, good road holding dry/wet...ehhh...if possible also last longer lah. Though I know comfort mean soft and that also mean no long lasting, maybe a good balance of both.

Please suggest with:

Brand | Size | Price | Place to Get if possible

Actually I was thinking of changing to bigger rim but my long time mechanic insisted I stick to the stock size. Don't know why? Maybe FC, power and accuracy of odo/speedo?

robert...go for 16" at least! with 215/55/16 tyres. u wont regret it. beside cosmetic apperance, u will feel better handling.

on the tyres brand etc...every brand has its own advantages. depends on ur budget lor...price should range from rm280 to rm400..cheers

Ong, changing to 215/16...how much increase in FC hah (not 350km/tank hoh?). On average I only get about 400km/tank or 60l for the 205/15.

Any A33 owners wanting to upgrade their wheels and dispose off the stock rim 16 inch, please let me know.

I had very good experience of Yokohama tyres, kind of soft, good road holding and quiet...but wear out kind of fast.

David,....thanks for the free ad.,.....:regular_smile:

Actually, I am a little undecided whether or not to sell my stock rims....
I was thinking once I get enough of bumpy rides fr the 18s, I will switch back to stock again n sell the Works away....
Moreover, I really dont know what price is fair for the rims n tyres....

Maybe you can help me make a quote for Excimo then both of us can see if it's a good deal for both,...you are more familiar with the market, I believe.....


Cheers!!

RM1.3k ah??......I remember I paid around that price for my Yokohama tyres leh....
....makes me feel like I am giving away my stock rims for free....:confused_smile:

Let me reconsider first....maybe I sell off my 18" Works...
....anyone interested??

bobby...why wanna sell?? the WORK its nice on ur ride.
anyway, cant compare used tyres with new 1. when u pay 1.3k for new 1, once used > 6 months, u r lucky to get half of the price u pay...

moreover, tyres have lifespan - 5 years. also depend where and how u keep ur tyres. incorrect way of keeping unused tyres will result in premature cracks...

 

[excimo]

Bobby, actually Ong has quoted a pretty good price. I actually have some rounded figure that you wouldn't want to know. I guess your old set has been kept unused for close to a year now. You better start using them or quickly sell them off.

You not posting the image of the 16" speaks by itself that you are keeping them. So, I guess we will just have some deal other time.

Ong, thanks for the help. You too Bobby...maybe good too to keep the 16", petrol ain't getting cheaper.

I guess I will change to a 205/65/15, which is the original size and strongly recommended by my tyre man for comfort.

Cheers....

Thanks for the advice, David...

I know its really nice with the 18" on my ride....but my priority now is my new house,...which is under renovation now.....need to spend so much b4 I can move in....:sad_smile:

Will only sell off if not losing too much fr what I have spent...

Excimo,....sorry for all the trouble but not accepting the deal.....
...maybe other time....:regular_smile:

Cheers!!

No worries Bobby. Maybe you could salvage the rims and sell off the tyres, instead of letting them crack and then cannot sell or use later. That would be even a bigger lost of what you have spent. I wonder how much those tyres could fetch, a couple hundred bucks?
