Tyres replaced

[r_m_shyam]

Hi all,
Just for the infraction here that I changed my factory fitted tyres in my jazz and was given 650$ from beauru repairs and did some shopping around and found 430 for Yokohama 4 tyres with wheel alignment and balancing for 430$. If its cheap please treat it as FYI. If not please advise some options you guys have done for others benefit.
Thanks.

what size, are these, i think thats pretty cheap, a good price for allignement is like 50 bucks + fitting 5-10bucks per tyre, and then that would make the tyres like 90 each or something, so thats NOT BAD!

what would you guys recommend to replace bridgestone turanza er370 185/55/R16 tyres with? which tyre shop would you recommend as well.

[DreadAngel]

What are you looking for in your tires? How was the Bridgestone Turanza ER370s for you?

[rubyjazz]

they're ok. Standard factory tyres. Am just looking for equivalent tyres that are a bit cheaper.

[GU357]

linlong tyres are like 90bucks a piece i bought them cause i was low on cash at the time but they are actually pretty good. grippy enough and not bad in the wet either.

in comparrison to my friends lancer which has terrible wet cornering.

[rubyjazz]

who sells those tires?

[GU357]

uhmm i have no idea. my friend dad works for a wreckers and used them to order it in.
but im in perth. but you could ask around.
atm bridgestone potenzas are on sale i think 4 for the price of 3!
and the RE002 adrenalines are one of the best tyres around

[rubyjazz]

but around $200 per tire which is still double. Anway, the cheapest ones around are probably $129 each, next $149, then around $200++. The odd size of the VTI-S wheels make them more expensive.

time for new wheels

[GU357]

agreed!
maybe try some lancer wheels as the tyres for them must be common?
or get some smashing sexy wheels

175/65R14 82H Yokohama tyres. Fitted at Tyre professional sunshine.

The trouble with Tyres though is its noisy inside cabin. Is it expected as normal or just me who is experiencing?

Dont most people opt for 195/50/16 over the standard 185/55/16 ( a weird tyre size with limited choice ) ? i know I will be.

[GU357]

hmm probably expected of cheap tyres.

Unless its very loud like, music an cover it.
then it could be the bearing issue, which is common on the GD Jazz and if you go to Honda it will be replaced under special warranty.
Or poor alignment, which is making it scrape down the road.

Let Honda do the next service on the car if its the bearings then they will know after the test drive and fix that too.
or take it to them and ask them not for a service but to check the rear bearings and maybe the alignment,
or you can just go somewhere for proper rear alignment but that will definitely cost money even if you dont need it aligned (i guessing they will still charge)
