Tyre choice for Nabira Upgrade/Changeover
#1

interesting to share some information...
If I am not wrong, the tyres for the Nabira are predominantly 205/55/16.
This is the same size used for 318s as standard stock. Borrowing somebody
else's research, the following have been obtained.
1) Bridgestone G111 (made in Thailand) ..... RM395/pc
2) Continental ComfortContact-1 (made in M'sia) ..... approx. RM340/pc
3) Goodyear NCT5 (made in M'sia) ..... RM310/pc
4) Michelin MXV8 (made in Thailand) ..... approx. RM370/pc
5) Michelin Pilot Preceda (made in Thailand) ..... RM420/pc all in
And the choice of most BMW owners (if only given these choices to select
from) - the Michelin Pilot Preceda. Most compelling reasons - superior
handling in the dry, quiet, and extremely long lasting.
I am sure there may be others of worthy mention not on this list. Any one?

To me it's better than Turanza in all respects, esp in terms of
quietness. But the lower profile did make a harsher ride. Also, I was
informed that being manufactured in the Philipines, quality consistency is
a bit suspect.
I'm now on Yoko Aspec dB V550 at RM275 (June 2004 prices for 195/65/15).
This is one brilliant tyre. Quiet, comfortable, good stability at high
speed, excellent in wet (it's directional). Highly recommended!
Oh, for info, my preference is for comfort & quietness hence the Yokos in
contrast to pure performance -so no bunga besar gang like Potenzas, ES100).
I know myzafira is on Semperit!
BTW, I repeat my offer, if you're thinking of changing your alloy rims,
I'm more than willing to buy them from you.

you're old(er) but young at heart. Gurau aja lah. I'm stalling on the
decision to get the mudflaps from you bec. am thinking of getting
sideskirt. By the way, would the sideskirt compromise (tak ngam ke, tak
cantik ke)the mudflap? Kalau you ada sideskirt sms me the price boleh?
Senang sikit nak consider.
