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.
As long as you know their limits.....:driver:

I just changed my viva tyre to michelin pp2 just now. Price is rm225 per donut. Manufacturing date is 0813. New stock.
Give me five bro! Nice Choice! Where u get it? Is not easy to find at any tyre shop nowadays.

Since 165/55/14 is the only size left for PP2. Damn! you bought cheaper than me by RM5 :rofl:

Best performance tyres you can get in 165/55R14.....
I bought it in Pandan Indah. Corner shop right in front of speedmart 99.
Before that I managed to find it at another 2 shop. 1 in Ampang and another 1 also in Pandan Indah. Both is selling at Rm245.

I had been driving this viva for 3 years and already clocked 130k km. This is the 3rd time I changed my tyre. I have been searching for pp2 2yrs ago but couldn't find as all said stop production. So I settled for yokohama a-drive. A-drive didn't disappointed me. I changed to A-drive 2 times already and both time change all 4. Today I just change 2 piece to see how it work. Fyi, I like banging cornering as I travel weekly to karak highway.

PP2 Grip never fail to impress me, really take corners as though i have adjustables. But of course
with adjustables will be better :biggrin:

So far car is stock but PP2 is a good tyre to corner around with. Only sakit hati
cuz tyre expensive haha!

Cheap recommendation is good, but silverstone for real? Life worth more than putting life at risk on silverstone. Falken is much more like it

Most of Proton and Perodua car OE come with Silverstone, pls bare in mind.
Those two are actually best examples here? :stoned:

Yes, please bear in mind like you said Most "Proton" and "Perodua" OE comes with Silverstone.
Go find out why Toyota, Honda and Continental cars doesn't come with Silverstone or Simetyres but Proton and Perodua comes with it.

How much are you paying for a perodua and how much are you paying for a toyota? Go Figure.

OE tyres for Toyota, Honda etc also not cream of the crop tyres. Depending on the car range also the tyres are different. At least Jetta gets Conti CPC2 which are mid range.
Forte get Silverstone best V7 Atlantis but many take new car from showroom :driver: direct go tyre shop to trade in....then only go home....hahahaha:rofl:

K Cars got many that have under gone extreme mod mah!....got market....:biggrin:
