[nick3288]

My Mileage around 46k now still on stock tyre.. but thinking change to XM1 coz almost botak liao.. so far so good with stock!!

I am very concerned how your stock Toyo tyres could skid on a dry surface when there is ABS.

I have never experienced any skid even during a heavy downpour like this morning. My mileage is now over 20,000km.

Could it be your tyres were under inflated?

Or did the skid occur when you were tracking in Sepang etc?

Or did you executed an aggressive cornering at high speed above the legal limit?

When tyres skid doesn't mean ABS has to be activated ....... since your mileage is low, dun think you have much experience on the road.

My tyres underinflate ? Seem like you do not understand my sentence that I pump my tyres everyweek.

What presumption from you that I go to Sepang ?

What is the legal limit for cornering as define by you as aggressive and what kind of corner are you referring at ?

still on Toyo J50 - mileage is 45k km - tread depth still good = 3.00 mm above the tread wear indicator

Toyo tyres ---> Quality grades = Treadwear grade 220, Traction grade A, Temperature grade A
(information on sidewalls of tyres)

What are the quality grades for the other brands and models?

I don't have this problem on my stock Toyo tyres.

Could it be the rough floor surface on your multi storey car park is worn out?

In all my cars, I use the stock tyres till they are almost bald before changing to after mkt ones and don't have any problem.

I wonder why many car buyers always complain that the stock tyres are no good, not just for Latio but other makes too.

People say the Yokohama A300 is no good on wet road, but I have used it through its useful lifespan and have not had any accident even when travelling in the wet.


When my existing stock tyres are due to be changed, I will post here to see who wants to let go their new stock tyres at a bargain to me.

I am not complaining that all stock tyres are no good. My M3 is still using stock and mileage is 40k and the grip is still pretty good. Just so happen that latio stock was not good for me. During the course of my job, I often have to travel on uneven road for some distance and stock tyres do not feel so good esp after a heavy downpour with pools of water everywhere....
since my son is born, I have decided to change the stock so that my latio will have better grip when my son is travelling with me...of all the cars i have owned previously, this is the first car that i change out the stock so early....

I’d say whether a tyre is "good" really depends on a combination of individual driving style,  the typical road conditions you travel in, and personal expectations.   

One person may say the tyre "grips like hell and ride is smooth as butter", while another person may say it "corners like you're on butter, and ride is noisy like hell".


Bottom line : If you feel comfortable with the tyre, it is probably good enough for you.

If you feel unsafe or dissatisfied, then it's better to change even if other people have good experience with it. 
No point driving with this uncomfortable feeling, right?

I got the LS 2000 H II on 195/60/R15 for stock rim,....looks perfectly fine. Perhaps due to stiffer sidewalls.

Sylphy 1.5 is using 195/65R15 on rims similar to Latio's.

Tyre looks like it is bulging out.

there are 3 "sad" facts to note

1 - Most tire models comes with at least 195/60/15

2 - Most retailers do not carry our "unpopular" stock sizes, even if the manufacturer do produce them.

3 - tyre "lips" are mostly steel belted. looks can be deceiving, the bulging look is due to design more than unsuitable fitment.
