Pisces69 6th Gear July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Mine cannot patch coz the tear is on the outside. Am i right?I did not know the kerb is so deadly to tear my tyre. My tyre is 225 50r17 and using falken 912 now. any recommendation on tyre change?heard falken got new tyres known as 722 Forget abt falken. Go fr a better set of tires. So many to choose around the same price. PS 3 .....CSC 3 etc wil b better. If wan a bit cheaper try A.drive R1 by Yokohama. Also good. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Are these brands popular? I was told by the boss of a tyre shop there is not much difference. What should a premium tyre feel like?quieter?last longer?better FC? Sorry but I am a noob regarding tyres Hard to have everything lah. Better grip maybe a bit more noisy. Or less grip more lasting. Thats why ty sell so many types of tires to suite preference of so many pple. I prefer to get the best tires I can afford. Money well spent I think.

Pisces69 6th Gear July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 understood. But he said "its illegal" which i was wondering true or not. I do not know that its illegal but u sud at least take precautions like place a warning triangle abt 50 meters behind vehicle n wear a reflective warning vest so u r more visible to oncoming traffic. I hv 3 warning triangles n a reflective vest in my boot at all times just in case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VellfireS 4th Gear July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 Now most new cars ty give donut. Save space, weight n cost. I tell u I driving fr so many years till now I never used my full sized spare tire.

What should a premium tyre feel like?quieter?last longer?better FC? Sorry but I am a noob regarding tyres other than the brand, i place emphasis on where the tyres r manufactured....so far, i try to go for japan-made if possible....thailand-made is my next choice....

If I alone.. my nail puncture was quite bad at that time.. Most nail puncture wil b slow leak. Can pump up n just drive to the tire shop to repair. The main reason I carry the full sized spare is cos I go Msia often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic July 18, 2013 Share July 18, 2013 (edited) I repaired my own tyre. Just buy a set of repair kit and powered portable air compressor. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AMOEG...=UTF8&psc=1 Save money and time. It's not as difficult as you think. If those Malaysians or ah tiongs at tyre shop can do it, so can you. I also have a jumpstart kit and cable in my vehicle.

No la, that link is for the tyre repair kit. Just plug the portable air compressor into the 12V socket and you are good to go. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/LifeLine-AAA-300-Vol...#productDetails Or this: http://www.amazon.com/Slime-COMP02-12-Volt...+air+compressor Edited July 18, 2013 by Fcw75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I can.. but mine is mounted below the carriage machiam van.. Spare mounted below the back is good cos if yr boot is fully loaded n u need to use the spare, u dun need to unload the whole boot to get at it. Only thing is it is easier to steal. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
