which brand of 195/55/15?

[vr2turbo]

Is it really that cheap? The price I got quoted for is above RM300, which would put it in the same price bracket as the rest.

His 205/50R15 I think he got at RM375 and AD-08R was quoted at RM425. Probably NS-2R and Achilles 123 are cheaper but do not have in 205/50R15 size.

Aaah..for 205 ka? Ok2...I thought for 195

my personal xperience ad08R 195/55/15 way better compare federal rsr 205/50/15 while playing corner on our malaysia public road. it absorb te bumpy feeling better than federal, feel more save, stable n confident when cornering.

sifu,
can try this combination,

stiff sidewall tyre match with lower spring rate, OR
higher spring rate with softer sidewall tyre.

if harder sidewall tyre + higher spring rate + bumpy cornering + high treadwear tyre = ur baby (Car) stick to divider. lol.

For daily drives then AD-08R better as it is softer, but track play they still prefer 595RS-R for stiff sidewall. Bro. Izso if not mistaken got better time when set to hardest absorber setting.

For me, daily drive I set lower spring compression and mid setting for absorption. My GT Radial HPY quite stiff sidewall too...

Oh yes ah? That means it was RM280. I just remember either one of these numbers. It was below 300 for sure. Bloody memory is failing.

Parada Spec 2 has quite good grip. But wet roads its just scary

Sorry to hijack thread TS.

How about recommended or suitable tyres for daily long distance driving? (I travel daily between 170 - 190 km, home - work - home). At times, have to travel more usually within Klang Valley. Staying in Tg Malim and working in KL. Most of the time cruising and once in a while speeding on the highway. Currently using 195/50/15 (MY02). Planning to get 195/55/15 and looking at other brands.

Any suggestions particularly those who travel long distances like me?

Wow! I have friends living in Lembah Beringin, you are even further.

Probably you need durable tyres, like Michelin XM2 or BS Ecopia.....

Hehe. Frequently take the commuter or ETS to work before this, but since the commuter Kad 1 Malaysia 50% discount card discontinued and ETS already changed their schedule (and not to mention full price again from TM to KL), have to go stick to driving. Taking the bus? Somewhat inconvenient. Everyday lalu the "Bayangan Maut" stretch.

With my MY02, can la go above speed limit and able to take corners. But considering now tayar already starting to show signs of aging (and abuse :P), high time to change to new tires.

By the way, care to elaborate durable for those type of tires VR2?

Well, Entry level tyres usually are more durable having harder rubber compound soften by having more sipes in them. Being harder the compound wears slower, thereby giving more mileage.
Unlike UHP tyres the compound is soft for traction so they wear faster. If you read the UTQG of the tyres, most UHP are rated Thread Wear 200 to 300. XM2 have 420, but high number thread wear then traction usually lower.
Since you are using MY-02, this is actually not a UHP tyre. BS call it a Sports Touring tyre, means it looks sporty with the directional pattern but actually is a touring tyre, means sort of an entry level tyre. This tyre do not have the AQ donut of BS Potenza range, so go easy in the wet for this tyre...
