About a month ago, on my way to A'Famosa resort, when almost reaching, my left back tyre made a loud bursting noise, but luckily in didn't causethe car to swerve. After about 5 km, can hear funny noise and quickly park to the road shoulder and found that it's badly damaged. Anyway, to cut the story short, next day went to Melaka to quickly change all 4 to GR80.

even on 21 June at Orna Golf Course (Malacca), the left rear tyre of my flight mates' buggy expanded and the two of them stopped as the ride was getting bumpy
all of us were standing there looking at it, then it suddenly exploded

$85 per piece for Gr80 is quite a good deal! U know price for 16inch tyres, profile should be 205/55/R16?

can try the spark bridge ,  many of our bros here have installed.  so far the FR was good

cheers

The spark bridge is to serve as grounding right ? How does it help to reduce the bumpiness ?

Other than changing the suspension, does changing the tyres help ?

Can try the Hankook V2 tyres.  it can help to reduce the bumpiness
SB is to improve the slow pick up

Usually those "tyres burst residue/scraps" by the roadside u c in Msia were from lorries/trucks, becos they use "re-cycled tyres/dipped tyres = tyre celup", where is tends to split/breaks easily, tink not fr cars la..

Dont depend on mileage b4 u change ur tyres, important is to see the tread depth indicator (usually cannot be thinner than a match-stick ~3mm) depth left.. or the years it is manufactured, where the warranty is usually 5 yrs fr mfg date, therefore even the tyre is still quite new/less wear off, better to change after 5 yrs life, becos the materials/rubber inside has started to deteriote.. u can see the week/yr of manufacture on the tyre itself..

For me, I hv used ~55K on the stock tyres, 2nd set of Michellin XM1 ~50K, now on 3rd set Michellin MXV8.. :)

cheaper than that "melaka" GR80 leh.

S$85 x RM2.4 = Rm204 per tyre. Cheaper.
