Bridgestone Potenza RE003

[Supra_Fanatics]

Actually i am surprised with the vast difference in price. When RE-001 was launched BS warned all tyre shops cannot throw prices that is one reason why I did not use because 215/45R17 was selling at RM430 those days.....

Ya, with prices so vast difference, I kinda worried actually. What if somewhere sell so much cheaper and we bought at a higher price instead? RM10 - RM30 diff still k la. Is more like whether you are lucky to find a shop selling cheapest.

How come the 16 & 17 are the same price?
More reasonable but still not keen anymore as I'm already a bit anti BS due to their history of pricing. Traction rating only A some more, I can get tires with AA with those pricing.

So Bs has become the real BS to u instead... BS = Bullshit adi

AA one only ATR sports right? hehe

That is why you should check around for the prices first. Also be careful of hidden charges, then hidden cons.....hhahahhaha

Ya, learnt from buying Kancil tyre, really paying tuition fees makes me remember it well LOL!
Things like camber nut, and have to check whether include gst, alignment and balancing.

Tyre metal valve usually not included also have to consider to add into pricing.

Oh ya, if <17 then less choices, only got PS3, F1-D5, S-Drive, GT HPX, the ATR Sports, and maybe some Continental, Hankook & Federal? I'd pick PS3 or F1-D5 though among those.

But my 17 also not as common size coz I need 225/50/17. Mostly available are 225/45/17 or at least 215/50/17.

Since Myvi SE rims can cost RM380 for 4 pieces. But not sure how much to sell mine then.
Sell too expensive, ppl rather go for Advanti

RM1K include tyres shouldnt be asking too much gua. RM800 a bit low pula...

If the rims are wide enough (7.5) better use 225/45 as it's about the same thickness as 205/50. If 215/45 is about 0.4-0.5cm thinner and will start to get a bit harsh IMHO coz it drops below 10cm sidewall height already. Sylphy is a comfort car, so ride quality should be more priority I'd think.
