bro wka,

I have already shared the choices of tyre in 215/60R17 and 225/55R17 is our Ely thread page 4. But for the benefit of other users with the same size, refer below

215/60R17

i) Yokohama db ES501
ii) Michelin Primacy LC
iii) Falken Ziex ZE-912
iv) Dunlop RV70
v) Michelin XM1


225/55R17

i) Toyo Proxes C1S
ii) Michelin Primacy LC
iii) Yokohama db ES501
iv) Bridgestone POTENZA RE001 Adrenalin
v) Toyo Proxes CT01
vi) Toyo Proxes T1R
vii) Continental ContiPremiumContact 2


However, the tyres recommended to you are way cheaper than our ori size. At RM3xx a piece, they are way cheaper than say my PLC at RM580 for 225/55R17. As you can see I am using Michelin Primacy LC 225/55R17. Bro.roselan58 is using Falken ZE-912 215/60R17 at about RM400 a piece I think. Saw a lot of Alphards also using 225/55R17.

I was thinking to use that Yokohama db ES501 as well last time but due to unforeseen circumstances, I bought the PLC. Would have saved quite a bit had I opted for the ES501.



Regards.

Yup, some change to 215/55/R17 due to 225/55/R17 much higher price..... smile_blackeye.gif

After much thought, finally decided to use Toyo C1S 225/55/17-RM480 /pc. Yoko ES501 is cheaper at RM410 but after a review of poor handling in wet not dare to take a chance to use it.

From 215/60/17 to 225/55/17, i immediately felt my car a bit heavier to move. Thanks Leong and VR for your advice.

Leong: Btw is our Eli's group TT on this month?

Should not be much difference as 225/55 diameter is smaller then 215/60. Maybe it is the width of 225 that you feel heavy... smile_tongue.gif
Toyo C-1S is pretty good tyre. Cross between handling, comfort and quiet..... smile_tongue.gif
