I can only suggest Michelin PP2 (only available for 165/55/14 the rest discontinued)
or AD08 for performance wise :biggrin:

If I am not mistaken, there are quite a number of used Falken ST-115 (discontinue) year 2011 with 90% tread for that size, at least, 14".
Just help a friend getting it from the used tyre shop in Ampang (behind Spectrum) a few months back. Great tyres for K-car size.
Another alternative is a new Kumho KU-31. Not too bad for spirited driving.

Oh! But I saw in the catalogue, Yokohama AD08 does have size for 165/55/14. Not really 15" and above.

The mech told me, did u bring ur kelisa to genting for a spin? I say no, I wil be heartache to
trash the PP2 :rofl:

He said, good tyres must go whack corners ma. If not wasted :rofl:
I say okay okay, not my car nvm. Gf's car :rofl:

even if not genting, I did go on other corners easily where bigger cars on straight is faster but when come to corners they are way behind me already :rofl:

Especially those tailing me :rofl:

That is why I always have good wet tyres, so I actually drive faster in the wet when most slow down....:driver:

Remember which car you are in, not the ones with XM2.....:driver:
XM2 tried, dangerous, is a long lasting and comfort tyres, grippy enough to keep u safe but
whack corners, tyre start to screech and gonna lose traction.

Surely better than those sime tyres or silverstone. Those are like my bald slippers when road is wet.

Hi guys,

Looking for some sifu advice on a weird sound my car is making.

It's like a loud humming that happens when I turn the wheel while going above 80km/h.

I've just had the tyres replaced. Before replacement sound was there, after replacement sound still there.

I've checked all my fluid levels, all okay. Replaced my front control arms and bearings earlier this year.

My car is 15+ years old Toyota Corolla. Any ideas?
