bro. wka,
Changing your Ely's doughnuts already? But the size you're using is undersized to the ori ones. Our ori size is 215/60R17 and next best size is 225/55R17. Maybe others can advice. Regards. |

Hopefully better as should have improvement.....

It is just at border of 3% but smaller not bigger. If the tyre size still looks okay can be used....

VR: Tyre condition still good, as usual the rear will wear inside. The life already 3 yrs thats why thought of changing. Called quicksave, he recommend yoko db es501(Japan). Is this ok? |

That is a comfort, quiet tyre. If your priorities are that, then go ahead.... Wet handling is poorer especially when slightly worn down..... -------------------- |

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. |
