Sorry about that. Got my facts wrong earlier, haha.

I think you're right about viking tyres. Been using that for half a year already and the tyre threads still looks new. Well, according to sifu VR2 here, he said before that viking is better than goodyear duraplus.

Normal range.....Name Platinum sound first class.....hhahhahahha:rofl:
I thought it was something above ATR Sport. :rofl:

But then again, the magic word for automotive world is always the letter 'R' instead of something like Platinum. Type-R, GT-R, Spec-R, AD-08R, GSR.... :biggrin:

Damn sad after hearing this from you. Because my front tyres currently are Duraplus... Even once, a mechanic told me and my grandfather that this tyre sucks.

They have a tendency to use alphabets from the end of the lists. Z, V, R, S, X....

Got what other recommendation? Oh yea, lately I've noticed this tyre called Ecopia from Bridgestone. How does that one fares?

If I'm using something like 4G93T or 4G63T, then I'll use 17" for wider tyre track for grip.. But now using 4G15 only... Change to 17" will just make my car even slower than now... Even if I am using 4G92 MIVEC also, I still think 17" is a bit too heavy for 1.6 litre NA....

Interesting... I shall add Ecopia into the consideration list the next time I'm changing tyres. How good is XM2? My mother's Avanza is using that. From what I see, XM2 only has 2 grooves (that longkang thing) unlike most tyres where they have 3 grooves. That Avanza is using 185/65/R15...

for that just use 195/50-15 is good enough...

corsa veera tyre already only rm140/pcs.... so cheap for basically a good daily tyre... (im using it and loving it much more than nct5 which is more expensive)

I think told you before, Duraplus as it is named for durability. More for taxi use and temperature rating is B only.......

Aiyah, Champiro Eco you already say the name Eco already discourage, so Ecopia same mah.....:smokin:

Car slow means more stable.......hhahhahahahahahahhaahahhahahahahhahha:biggrin:

The XM2 having 2 grooves is because that one is narrow tyre. If wider will have 3 grooves....:driver:

How good is XM2? Good for Point A-B. But not good for me :rofl:
But slight beating or hardcore driving still can take it..more than that cannot adi since this tyre not meant for such driving...is ECO tyres anyway

The XM2 having 2 grooves is because that one is narrow tyre. If wider will have 3 grooves....:driver:
But ecopia is from Bridgestone, so, there is some sort of expectations for it, haha. Now regret with that Temperature rating B for Duraplus. Every other car in my house have tyres rated A for traction and temperature. :banghead:

True, 15" is expensive if I'm looking for good ones. Saw before at mudah ori RPF1 15" can cost around RM2k plus... If 17", the price will cost more than my whole car.

Well, with 17 inch sure stable plus it is slower. :rofl: It is already slow enough now. The Myvi 1.3 manual mentioned in this thread is faster than my Wira even though I haven't tried a head to head comparison yet. Already can feel the surge of acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear which is more violent than what I felt in Wira.

So, 185 size XM2 only have 2 grooves no matter for what rim size? Well, even C Drive 2 have 4 grooves for 185/60/R14....

How good is XM2? Good for Point A-B. But not good for me :rofl:

I thought you are praising XM2 based on what you write in your previous posts. :biggrin:
