But ST115 comes in 165 size, he wants to change to 175.....

 

[mADmAN]

yeah...but if want 175, dun expect performance tires la...

the only performance tire in 175 that ive heard about getting good reviews is surprisingly the silverstone evol8

 

[vr2turbo]

Evol8? Are you sure? Saw one, Traction A rated only, and the rubber was hard....

 

[mADmAN]

well...i aint deaf... and i understand BM n english perfectly well...so yeah im sure :D

thats wat people are saying la...most of the ones i asked were users of the tires...n they said the performance in wet oso quite good.

but like i said... ST115... i never bothered with 175 considering the choices (or lack of) available.

currently im on evol8 165/50/15.. kinda ok-ok grip on wet and dry..
but after 50% tyre wear.... u're going to be deaf LOL! super noisy, like driving with rims grinding on the road..

just came bck from tyre shop. 2 front tyres got buldge on the inner tyre.. need to change ASAP.. high chances of blow up?

[vr2turbo]

Sometimes got Signboard may not be their distributor anymore, unless it is new signboard.....

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

u want cheap but atleast better than common normal street tyre???


go for yokohama parada....cheap..grippy....but downside is a bit noisy la....


it is normal la..what do u expect want beautiful supermodel wife but doesn't really suck your bank account..then have to live with he noisy mouth la.... ekekekekekeke

if u want beautiful supermodel wife but quiet..just prepare to fork more money for her.....same as tyre.....u want quiet but high performance tyre u have to pay more...u want silent but no grip tyre there always cheap option....u want cheap grippy tyre...be prepared to get noisy one...

 

[vr2turbo]

oh? my topic still alive? haha! anyways, aftermath is that i've changed to kumho ku31 165/50/15. one of the best tyres i have used for size 165/50/15.. used it for track day, good and grippy for first few laps, just need to cool down when it starts melting bfor going out again haha!

currently changed to fiesta XTR already.. need to look for 16" tyres. parada good buy?? is there any parada for 16"? thx!!

 

[vr2turbo]

The smaller size Kumho are now Made in Vietnam

What 16" size? Fiesta should be the smaller ones, right? 185/55R16, 195/50R16 sizes? Can fit 205/45R16?

there is parada for 16" but the price wasn't really affordable (compared to other 16" tyre price) if not mistaken almost rm400/pcs for 16" parada...and quite hard to find

 

[vr2turbo]

15" more popular especially 195/50R15 and 195/55R15. 16" less users so less tyre choices.....

 

[infinity.melvin]

[vr2turbo]

got quoted rm185 per piece 195/55/15, good?

What model? V12Evo, V8RS, V2Concept and so on......
If V12Evo at RM185 is very good price as these are quoted to be around RM220 already
