Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance...

[gateslimbill2222]

Hari Raya just round the corner. Lately I had sent my car for service, to ensure that vehicle is safe and back kampung smooth during the raya period with family.. I am driving Toyota Altis
The service advisor told me that my tyres had start "botak" required to change for new set of tyres.. Honestly it is kind of piss off, because the tyres that this service advisor recommended to me previous didnot last more than 6 month... The services advisor for the workshop seen like not really honest give me some lousy brand tyres...
Now i think it should believe in myself and sifu here I had spot certain type of tyres... - this are the branded and tyres..
Michellin Primacy 3ST (Newly launched)
Yokohama advanDB
GoodYear Eagle EfficientGrip
Bridgestone Tyre FireStone
Stamfordtyres Falken or Toyo Tyres,
Continental ContiMaxContact™ MC5...

which do u think I should go for?

Re: Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance.

I think some questions need to be answered before we can provide constructive feedback:

1) What's your budget?
2) What are you looking for? (handling - wet/dry, performance, noise, durability) taking into account better grip tires are usually on softer compounds, which wear faster (not so long lasting)
3) I'm assuming you're on the stock 16" altis rims as well? Some tires only comes in certain sizes...

Good luck.

I have a Toyota Altis year 2005 9th Gen. I'm using Michelin XM2 and is a GO GREEN Tyre,
Tyre is not bad for daily drive. Quiet and comfortable. Threadwear rating is good as well. Seems
to be said to save fuel. So far so good though.

Grip in dry and wet is safe enough as long as we are not some hardcore racers who whack corners like nobody business. Normal drive and speed at 120km/h no problem.

Overall I'm satisfied. Unless you can afford more, can go for Michelin PS3.

Firstly, how did you bald your tyres in 6 months. You travel a lot? What tyres did the SA recommend?
Anyway, the tyres you have quoted are mid range ones, more for quiet running.
GY Efficient Grip seems to have good feedback as well as Advan dB V551. Michelin still new.
If toyo then C1-S model. Forget Firestone, Falken and MC5, maybe CPC2 can consider.

Re: Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance.

I will choose yokohama advan db. My mom car using this, I would say this is a good tyres for family car due to it's quiet and comfort. The tyres are still remain soft and quiet while cruising at highway with a 130km/h and the tyres are 2 years old age. Besides this, I would go for michelin primacy 3t, you won't go wrong with michelin. But as mentioned by bro vr2, this is a new model. So hardly to find any review.

Re: Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance.

Michelin tyres don't come cheap, and the XM2, despite one of their "passenger" tyres actually does pretty well for overall wet, dry and noise level.

If its long distance, I would presume you travel at highway speeds, and my only concern would be how it fares at 110km/h when its raining. The XM2 takes standing water well at legal speed limits. If you go beyond the legal speed limit, the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 takes care of it in the wet or dry.

Which Camry model and what tyre size?
Well, tyres are safety items so it is better to get one that grips well. Durability should come last...

Cuz if u can afford a camry u can afford a good tyre. Anyway, like sifu vr2turbo said, best
get a grippy tyre rather than a long lasting one if budget permits.

An all rounder, you can go for Michelin PS3 or GT Radial that vr2turbo currently using,
u can ask him more about it

Michelin XM2 is fine, long lasting but I dun feel safe on high speed especially when it comes to corners.
Don't feel like it is gripping much.

That is why I ask for tyre size. If not mistaken the older Camry 2.0 are on 16" and 2.4 are on 17". Even 17" are 55 series aspect ratio so GY Asy 2 and GT Radial HPY do not have in the ratio...

Re: Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance.

hey for all the car lovers, i personally think we do really need a good tyres for our car you know. not to show off how rich and capable u are, but for our safety wise. yes i know those branded like Falken, Silverton tires are pricey, like above average, but their products are really worth buying. I have these all thought because i used to have even 2nd hand tayar because i need to live in budget (was having low pay), but after changing to Falken, i really think it has different. when i was young, i almost met a terrible accident in the road cause of the bad tires. Life is very weak nowadays, do whatever we can while we are still alive. you only live once, but u can earn money when u r alive. :) just my little sharing, hope u also dun feel i am kepo. hehe :)

Re: Hari Raya Balik Kampung... Need recommendation to change tyres for long distance.

Camry 2.0V with 17" rim..

Then you should be only 215/55R17 and Camry being a comfort car, go for comfort performance tyres.
The price range should be between RM400 to 500. Not sure for Michelin.
The tyre choices are:
Toyo C1-S
GY Efficient Grip
Yokohama V551 Advan dB
Michelin 3ST
