[pingping86]

Hi all sifu... I need some advice for tires, 205/40/17 wif budget around RM300 per piece... Any recomendation???

40 series in Malaysia is dangerous in my opinion because too slim, somemore 205. Once you got into a pot hole, you might end up your rims 'bengkok'

im using 205/40/17 now... me myvi owner, 215/45 de will hit my fender dats y i have to use 205/40 tires...

I suppose you are using 17'' or higher since 215/45 already hit your fender, am I right?

 

[pingping86]

Yup...

how silly question I am asking, I overlooked the R17 at the back

I think tyre shops will give advise to you also that 205/40 is kinda dangerous to use here because too thin. But what you can do it get adjustable suspensions and get yourself 205/45 or 215/45

If I not mistaken, 205/40 is kinda rare. So far I only tried Hankook Ventus V12 205/40 but too low, so changed to 205/45

rm 300 per piece for 40 series not much choice for good branded tyres like falken,toyo,yoko,bridgestone,michelin n etc... branded tyres will cost about 380-700 for 40series 17"/18"

you can only get cheaper brands like maxxis, accela, nankang,sime.. hankook im not sure can get or not...
