That advice is applicable to only 4-season countries.

In Msia you just need to consider :

1. 2 or 4 need changing? Got the budget? Change 4. No budget? Change 2 and put the new tyres at the back (assuming you drive a FWD)
2. Budget? There's a few ranges of tyre and each range gets progressively more expensive.
3. Brand and purpose? Michelin, Good Year, etc
4. Buy from where is the cheapest?

1. why put new tyre at back for FWD?
so, i assume new tyre at the front for RWD...

Thats cheap. Old tyres?
ATR Sport also RM235 I saw, but never ask.
Hows the feel? Please share!

new tyre la bro, btw you saw where atr sport rm235? same shop? About the feel i think it's ok, does not spin from 1st gear to 2nd to 3rd to 4th to 5th just like the previous yokohama A drive & rain definitely more confident than the yokohama which has almost reached it wear indicator, during rain i almost lost control with that yokohama at trunk road racing with a standard iswara when i went to perlis that's why i changed to new tyres.

The yokohama is 225/45/17 & i changed front only because behind ATR Sport 2 also 235/45/17 still new from previous owner, i downgrade front to 215 to avoid scraping at front fenders during bumps & corners & i lowered my gab a little bit more (to the max to be frank)

but i must admit when the front was on yokohama i did pressed the gas more wildly at tolls & traffic lights compared to now on ATR Sport 2 :biggrin:

HARLO. Asy 2 also not good for you, u wanna get ATR Sport 2 pulak.
Price trumps everything. If I pay 470 for a tyre I expect a lot. If I'm paying 200 only for the same size I don't get to complain as much. Hahaha

Why not? New tyres at the back to prevent oversteer since that's pretty hard to control in a FWD.

What size la? 17" and above got more choices.

15" got a few also.

14" got pathetic few.

And then there's specific widths and ratios. 195/55/15? you need to give more info for sifu vr2turbo to recommend
215/60/17 any recommendation?

225/45 i think add 5 or 10 bucks per piece or the most rm20 per piece if i'm not mistaken (can't remember la (old man oledi), 225/50 i didn't asked because it will sure scrape my front fenders even more
