Hi FELLOW TRAJETERS ,

Currently I am using MICHELIN MXV8 : 215-65-R15 Standard Tyres and very soon would be replacing those .

I am thinking Yokohama - ES-501 dB-DNA . I know this tyre has been around more than 5 years but I also know the sidewall of Yokohama is weaker than Michelin . So long there is no hard impact it should be OK ? Any comments ?

Reason for change in manufacturer : Cost and Origin of make

:clap: :liebe011:

Moved to a more appropriate forum. :57: You'll get more responses in here.

Can try Bridgestone GR80, many have used it and are happy with it. :)

I'm using Bridgestone RE001, not too bad :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Tks for the inputs :

Have not consider Bridgestone : Will check the Spec : GR-80 & Turanza :liebe011:

I am very happy with Bridstone Turanza AR10. It is a new model that was launched earlier this year. Google for this and you will find that reviews on this tire are favourable.

Tires might be cheaper in Malaysia. Just changed a pair in June at RM298 each. Maybe take a drive up to JB for a new set ..... the price diff might just make it worth your while.

bro, since you are in JB, can you check for me if AR10 have the size of 235-65-17?
If yes, how much?
Thank you. :)

Sorry, I'm from KL.

Try looking at the Bridgestone site http://www.bridgestonetyre.com.my

You can find some contacts for JB dealers there, you can then ask them anything you like

Hi Bro ,

Tks for the inputs man . I thought the AR-10 is only for Australia market ? Malaysia BOLEH ! In Singapore , The GR-80 is the most popular . I seen the tyre threads and already set ..... then your pirce of RM 298 ???? In Singapore , I ask one shop S$150 --> RM 360 .

Can tell me country of ORigin of your AR-10 ? :thumbsup:

I'll go to JB on Monday , will check up and report otherwise next trip up to KL :liebe011:

Hi TRAJETXG ,

When into Malaysia Web-site :

AR-10 for your size : 235/65 R17 --> Not available :bwekk:

Anyway , I tot you should be using 235 /55 R17 since you increase your RIM size ? The Tyre did not touch anything ?

:right:

No, its not for my Trajet, it' for my 08 Santa Fe... :grin:
Trajet uses 225/50/17 if using 17" Rim.

Herd that GR80 have become EOL and that AR-10 is the replacement. AR-10, if I'm not wrong, is made in Indonesia thus the price different. But I know 1 user in JB on his Trajet giving good comments on this tyre.

Hi TRAJETXG ,

Sori about size of Trajet .

Went to JB but could not locate the nearest one . End up calling them up . Tyres made in Indonesia but the price is so tempting .

Already chg to Bridgestone AR10 . Very happy with it . Got deal RM275 with 4 wheels alignment but ......then found front driver side shock absorber leaking ..so KIV until I replaced it . No wonder sometime got sound , tut tut . :grin:

Hi Trajet1715

Great to know that you are happy with the treads. That's a great deal you got there for the AR10s. Especially when you have alignment thrown in too.

Hi MWLee ,

You bet ! The workshop is out of town near Pasir Gudang within a housing neighbourhood . Ordinarily , I doubt somebody would wonder so far to a workshop unknown within a housing estate . I am adventurous and want to test out new ground ......so the owner said " since I got the heart to visit his shop all the way , alignment is FREE !

Try from your end ........ KL maybe get better deal ??? :beer:
