Changing tyres - Need Advises?

[Abner11]

Hi all, I need to change my 4 tyres very soon. I'm thinking of the following with 195/55 R15:

 

1. ST115

2. ZE512

3. Michelin tyres

 

Any advise on the price and workshop to go? Thanks in advance.

How about Pirelli? Think the 6000+ is GOOD!!!

So how much is that? I am using Falken DIGNEO 640, quite good comfort "AAA" and slient "AAA". $120/piece.

I've used only ST115 so far. Good all round tyres overall but noise level increased after about 10K rpm.

I'm using 195/55 R15 ST115 ... good grip in dry/wet, bit noisy (maybe my car sound proofing not so good).. ZE512 specs should come quite close to the ST115 ... not sure about Michelin though

Had bad experience with the Pirelli tyres. Better be careful.

So far the negative feedbacks of Falken tyres are noisy, otherwise the grip on dry and wet(especially) are good. I think if I want better grip, then I have to sacrifice some quietness when driving.

 

Btw, I still dunno which tyre to go, and the brand I knew is limited, so I do appreciate those that had recommended other brand that I didn't list down. (I'm confuse... )

 

Do you guys remember how much you paid for those tyres? Thanks.

[Robin]

I have not changed them yet... now only reaching 16k km... to check prices U can give justin (pxx xxxg) a call.. number should be somewhere in this forum... friendly guy. he would be able to advise u in choosing something within your budget/something u like! But dun get poisoned by him lah...

The side of the tyres came out and wrap itself around the drive shaft forcing car to swerve to one side, and it was dangerous.
