you won't happen to know the tyre model right?
-
was a general question
will probably get more details on next visit
maybe can try e-mailing TCM?

ok, no problem bro! :smile:

You shoud be able to purchase these tyres outside, at least 20% cheaper.
Please check the tyre production date too, as tyre sales turnover at Tan Chong is slow.
Ideally, the tyres should be less than 12 mth old.

with ur budget u can give Hankook a try. U can choose either the optimo k415 or the VII Blackbird... But will recommend u to take 195/60/R15 instead of 185/65/R15.

Hello! Latio Members,
Anyone know where are the good tyres shops to purchase Bridgestone tyres with cheaper price ? My Latio Toyo tyres in slight wear of condition.
If you know off 2nd hand RIM, I have a great interest to know. (The Rims came with Latio is difficult to clear.)
Thanks in advance.

Hi, may I know why is 195/60/R15 better than our stock 185/65/R15? If using 195/60/R15. will our speedometer still tally?
I am interested to know as I need to change tyres very soon b4 my 40k servicing, definitely changing at Hankook :thumbsup:

If you fit 195/60R15 tyres on Latio standard rims, your tyres may bulge out a little as Latio standard rims is for 185/65R15 tyres.

Hi joyrob,
185/65 R15 tyres, I just chg my GR80 at S$110 per piece at HengTyre (Htyre.com). Include free 10000 tyre rotation and free pumping of nitrogen air (unlimited).
FYI, when i chg my tyres, my mileage is abt 30000km liao. Not sure how much HTyre can get it to sell at what price? They can earn some $ from our used tyres :(
Last week, i serviced my 30000km at Autosaver (autosaver.com.sg), they told me they charge S$100 per piece only.
Heard that Klang (Msia) offered the best price (always).
Regards.

the better of the 3 is the DNA DB but the tyre will wear off much faster compare to hankook....
-
erm....i personally have heard of many feedbacks that the Aspec DBs are slippery, especially in the wet. Some argue that these are the new DNA DB, different from the Aspec DB, however, one of my personal friends recently totalled a cefiro which was on DNA DB. According to him, it was a simple scenario, took a bend, tires screeched, tried to counter and turn the head into the intended direction, screeched again and then BANG!! Surveyor declared the car total loss.
Guess what? It was on dry road. not on wet road somemore.

out of curiosity, where was the location where this happened and the speed of the vehicle?
understeer or oversteer condition?

I have been using stock tyres on all my cars and have never experienced such a scenario. I have even used the old model Aspec A300, which many claim to have very poor wet grip. But it served me well even on wet roads.
It might not be entirely due to a specific tyre brand and model.
We need to take into consideration the following factors :
1. At what speed did your friend approach the corner? Was the corner taken at too fast a speed? Cefiro is family saloon, not a sports car for fast corners.
2. What was the condition of the tyres? Were they over or under inflated or bald at the sides?
3. Was there any traces of oil on the road?
4. Was your friend driving under the influence of alcohol? The slightest amount of alcohol in your blood affects judgement.
