Recommendation on Tyres
« on: January 19, 2009, 01:35:01 PM »
Hi, i am currently running on TOYO Stock Tires since day 1 from 2006..... Seems time to change the tyre as i experience some of form of Skids on the back wheels...

Any recommendation or should i just replace my back wheel to the front wheel ? If change, i am not really the SPORTY type.. only looking for quiet and comfort tyre..

Hi! i've been using Michelin Energy XM1 since my previous ride - very comfy and quiet. Another comfy tyre is Michelin Energy MXV8. This is suppose to be Michelin's most quiet and comfy tyre.

  However, it costs more than XM1(XM1 195/60R15 is $135 ea at Shell Autoserv) and i personally have not tried it before coz not many shops stock this model. i only recently found out that Autobacs carries this model. Next time i change my tyres i think i'll give MXV8 a try.

I recently changed to Bridgestone MY-01. I find it pretty decent and quiet tires.

Below is a wide range of tyres for you to select for Latio stock tyre size 185/65R15   ;D


http://www.tyrepac.com.sg/Form/B2C/Home.aspx?type=TyresSearch&width=185&size=15&profile=65&season=all&brand=All&source=Home

The Yokohama A Drive (model no. AA01) at $97 each is a value-for-money quiet and comfortable tyre.

Today changed my tyres to Hankook K415...

Can feel it's more quiet than my stock toyo. Also seems more comfy. (Pressure at 230)

Costs: $88 per pc.
Location: 268 Joo Chiat Rd

Look for Ah Meng. A very friendly guy.

think all new tyres are quiet. changed form my 185/65/12 V2 to falken 912 205/50/16. tot will be more noisy but surprising more quiet. think my V2s was due for a change already. went more than 40k with them. In fact, if not for noise will not be changing.

Btw, seems lke V2 braking distance shorter compared to 912.
