About Tyre & Sports Rim

justyme SG

Hi

I am a very simple car user and i know very little about cars. Not that i don't bother to read up but i just cannot go beyond 2 pages when reading car magazines. But i know i can get to listen to more expert views here.

I have very bad experience with Malaysia made tyre, it's very noisy when the vehicle is on the move and I will need to replace them very fast, no doubt the price is cheaper. As such, i am trying to avoid using them. Then how should i choose a tyre that will not be too noisy even if it's made in other countries and the rubber is more lasting ?

Usually how can we verify that the tyre and sports rim are manufacture in which country beside being told by the salesman ?
There is no indication on the tyre not the rim to indicate the country they are produced.

Thanks

tts 4 Rims…. but as 4 tyres….. I reckon the brad tt u’re using is silverstone ar something… also.. Try 2 avoid Toyo,Firestone and falken.. My dad and some ppl tt i know have bad exp. whith those brands…. So far i think Continential,Pirelli and goodyear are my best pick…. hope this helps….....

Hi...

if you are looking for a value for money brand of tyres (besides buantan malaysia ones)

I recommend u try out Kumho.

Its not very noisy...and grips quite ok on wet.

and its definitely value for money.

Wad cam shaft... it's Driveshaft.... how can camshafts b made of carbon??? anyway... i just remembered another brand... Bridgestone.... Dun use potenza... it's noisy as it's a perfomance tyre... try Turanza... not bad

TVR is kinda slow arent they?

if 900bhp means fitting wheels onto a thunderstorm...

then someone in sgp has already fitted wheels onto a hurricane long time ago.

Very Happy

It all depends on your driving style, and needs...
For me i like abit of excitement... Previously on Falken Azenis ST115... For first 15k it's really quiet... But then when it loses traction... you better pray you have a good heart, coz it just gives way without warning... Now i am on Bridgestone Potenza S-03... Really good grip.

If what you want is comfort, You can try going to Bridgestone GIII or Yokohama Aspec DB aka A500 or Yokohama AVS DB. Yokohama tires are relatively quiet and confortable, yet give good enough grip for day to day driving. But It won't be able to take much hard driving.

If Budget is a big issue, I guess you will only be looking at Yokohama Aspec DB or Kumho 712, but Kumho will be quite noisy after ard 20k, based on the experiance of lots of users...

Anyway Dunlop Leman series, Pirelli and Goodyear tires are very noisy for your info...

Wrong.... those are the High-performance Tyres like Eagle F-1.... Pirelli and goodyear have also got tyres more for comfort and less noise

DaKaR SG

From what i know...
SP9000 is quite ok...
So far i guess the leman series is the more commonly used series lor...
I mean people who have to change tire will go for these series...
rather than the low end series...

Pirelli P-Zero Russo is damn noisy...
worst than my S-03..
