Do you roughly know what is the price of those 15inch tires you mentioned? Such as Michellin Ps3, hankook v12, re003? Been out of touch on the 15 inch sizes, haha.
V12E2 is about rm170-180 for size 195/55/15 at the best prices, RE003 is about rm185-200, then PS3 is about rm230-250. So the V12E2 is the best value for money now. I'm using that tire on my son's Swfit Sport and my wife's Livina.
thats where i started to recommend Subaru Exiga instead :biggrin: :biggrin: :driver:
Exiga lagi rare la boss.. how to recommend a super rare car that's probably more expensive to maintain?
Long time back before I bought the Livina I seriously was considering the Exiga! But its just too rare. Expensive is one thing but parts availability is another thing! If expensive but can still get stuff easily then not so bad but if also difficult to get parts then even if have money also not much you can do. So yeah then just decided to get the boring slow ass Livina instead. zzzz.....

Wow, thanks for the price update. Price is so different compared to my other 17inch which cost upwards of rm600 per piece. :biggrin:

The swift sport is a nice sporty car, very fun to drive. A lively engine coupled with close ratio gearbox, revs well and handles very well too. I almost gotten one many years back.

Yup very fun car indeed, no regrets buying it especially since nowadays it's so damn rare!

AD-08 will sure cost more.....hhahaha
haha...the tire grips really well in the dry, i don't really dare to try in the wet though as i've read many comments about its lousy grip in the wet. intend to go for either AD08R or RE71R for my next set and hopefully 245 r18...with a set of 8.5jj or 9jj rims with better offset.

Yes 2008 ZC31S manual. He's not really into cars yet but starting to show some interest. No haven't been to Sepang yet la, I'm still teaching him how to drive.

If daily and want wet handling better use PS4, but of course you will loose out for extreme dry performance. AD-08R are extreme category so poorer performance in the wet.....

Yea for more comfort and better balanced ability, PS4 seems like a good option, i’ve tried it on my previous car before. Another super value for money tire is the eagle F1 asymmetric 3.

I’m probably looking at RE71R since it’s as good as the AD08R in dry and better than it in the wet. Preparing to hit Sepang to test out the car next year but preparation is going to take a while.
