Yokohama Parada Spec II... your thoughts?

[vr2turbo]

there is a scraping sound when i turn.. Don't know if it is because of the 55...

But normally higher series will have problem in the rears, especially when rims offset too far out.
For front normally it is the width of the tyres, because you mention turn, so when too wide and full turn, not enough clearance.
But now with 50 series is okay?

That's why i am considering 50's. Just wanted to be sure before i change from 55 to 50.

I want to know if there will be any difference.

Thanks for all your replies buddy, i really appreciate it =)

In that case you better check properly first, if you have not bought the 50 series tyres, because 50 series tyres usually are made wider then 55 series tyres......
and you are welcome......

Is that really so? I thought that the difference is only the diameter whereby 50 has a smaller diameter than 55... Is it really confirmed that 50s are wider?

 

[vr2turbo]

Section height is the main difference.
Sometimes is not the thread pattern area width, but the sidewall area, due to lower series.
Just check because you mention scrapping on turn not on full load.....

Ahh.. ok, noted!

Would you happen to know the current price per piece?

Not the current price as not so popular for this model.
Last I know was RM185 for 195/50/R15, somewhere end of last year.....

 

[et_box]

I see... What is the popular model then? Any suggestions for tyres with rim protector?

 

[vr2turbo]

Actually nowadays, 195/50/R15 is not so popular. In the past upgrade from 175/70/R13 uses this size a lot, but nowadays from 185/60/R14, most use 195/55/R15 or 185/55/R15.
Found in tyrepac website, Parada Spec II now RM205. They have Conti CC5, GY Assurance, Kumho KU31 (Vietnam made) and Federal 595Evo but expensive at RM260.

Wow... So expensive nowadays...

Thanks again vr2turbo for all your advice

Would you have any recommendations in Klang? Totally unsure about the area.

As you can see I did mention copied from AW forum where I am leading the Tyre & Wheel Talk there.
The data are all complied with efforts from the members, that is why we have a Tyre shop and a Tyre price list topics which most members mentioned is very helpful, so easy for me just transfer some info to here, not necessary need to be a sifu......
For your tyres, why asking for cheap? Should look for money for value tyres, because cheap sometimes not safe. Get something at least with some good grip for safety reasons....

Some info for starters......

Yoko A-Drive is their entry level tyres. If you are looking for something better then take a look at Yoko C-Drive 2.
Falken at least the ZE-912 model. ZE-322 and ZE-522 are not good. But even ZE-912 some model have their traction rating changed from AA to A already.
Try calling some of the Klang shops for prices.....
