Ah, they're new tho. Still got a long way to go. I'll def chase for comfort for the next change hahaha and uniform brand throughout, fronts are Michelins and back are Continentals. From what the guy told me, I will have a slight different feel in handling. Is it true?
nope, super advan racing for 17', should be 8 jj if i'm not wrong.
Good tyres 225/45R17 at around RM300 will be tall order......lol
Wah so wide! In that case must use minimum 245 width for the front, so then 245/40/18 + 275/35/18 should be the best staggered tire sizes for you.
Hmm then use either 225/45/ or 235/45. IMHO 235/45 is better if can still fit but will be more expensive.
So this is a good tire for aquaplaning resistance but haven't test much cornering yet in the wet. Later once dry I will also feedback some more how they are.waiting for you, as you are the tyre guru, it been a long time since i bought 17' tyre..Good tyres 225/45R17 at around RM300 will be tall order......lol
2014 tyres should be still good, just check physically for fine crack lines on the pattern and sidewall. If none, still can use pass 4 years....
yeah, 235/45 is costly..Hmm then use either 225/45/ or 235/45. IMHO 235/45 is better if can still fit but will be more expensive.
Btw I just changed rims and tires for my wife's Livina and the front tires are the V12 Evo2 size 225/45/17. I just tested it during heavy rain and got lots of big puddles just now and it performs very well! Steering was damn steady and I was overtaking cars left right and center as they're all too slow.
RE-002 are good tyres, if still grip well might as well keep for a while longer.waiting for you, as you are the tyre guru, it been a long time since i bought 17' tyre..
so far, no cracks for RE002, just old and noisy.
i guess i could still live with it then.
i got a question, tyre guru.
if i have a particular tyre that always losing it's pressure, while the other 3 are fine.
what is likelihood to happen over here?
alignment? tyre leaking air?
Yup, 225 to 235 probably ok but tyre more expensive.
i think i probably have to send it for the submerge test, there's nothing on the tyre that i can see.RE-002 are good tyres, if still grip well might as well keep for a while longer.
Tyre leak nothing to do with alignment....lol
First check for puncture. A nail or screw embedded in the tyre will have slow leak. If there are no puncture, next you need to check the area where the tyre fits the rim. Lay it flat on the ground apply soapy water around the tyre where it fits to the rim. Do for both sides. If still no leak then check the valve area, also the dust cap, see if anything inside. If all fails to have any leak, last resort submerge whole wheel in water. If still no leak, then I also cannot help you.....hhahhahahha
55 will be great for comfort, i guess the max that i can go is 50 only.Yup, 225 to 235 probably ok but tyre more expensive.
225/50 can but 55 will be too high.
If change 2pcs, put new to the rear to finish the old one up front, but best is all 4pcs.....lol
225/45R17 V12Evo2 for RM380 ok mah.....
as bro vr mention, new to the rear to finish the old one up front, to speedup the wear on old tyre so u can change to new one fast..
which model landsail are good?
Yes, stick with 225/50/17 if want more comfort coz 225/55/17 is too big already for your car. Even my car also only use 225/50/17 last time.Yup, 225 to 235 probably ok but tyre more expensive.
225/50 can but 55 will be too high.

225/45R17 V12Evo2 for RM380 ok mah.....
That size will be the same diameter as your current 245/45/18, so will be 2.8cm bigger outer diameter! Surely will be more comfortable coz already 11cm sidewall but not sure can fit or not on yours, plus acceleration and FC will not be as good.Yup... I love wide hipswhat happens if I go for 275/40 instead?
Guideline in general is new at the rear because it's safer especially in the wet as the front will aquaplane first and therefore you'd understeer first which is easier to recover instead of oversteer. However if your other older pair are still in pretty good condition, say >60% then IMHO better to put the new at the front to even out the wear, then rotate regularly afterwards so later all 4 finish at the same time. With the new at the front, you also will feel your steering back to more responsive plus the comfort of new tires. If you're a pretty good driver also, should be no issue with a bit more grip at the front, in fact they would prefer such feeling of sharper turn in from the new tires. So in short, it depends.
If you have read my post like bro. marshal, he want to change tyre size, so that is why new to rear and old to front to wear them off, so that he can change another 2 to even them out......lolGuideline in general is new at the rear because it's safer especially in the wet as the front will aquaplane first and therefore you'd understeer first which is easier to recover instead of oversteer.

The only model that can be used is the Landsail LS588UHPas bro vr mention, new to the rear to finish the old one up front, to speedup the wear on old tyre so u can change to new one fast..
