WEEVIL UPDATE: 1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 200 - I'm Paranoid! Getting 4 NEW Tyres!! | EvoMalaysia.com
Ойын-сауық
SO YEAH folks I'm a little bit paranoid now. Having experienced the KE30 Corolla's tyre blowout recently, I decided to change all four tyres on the Merc W123 to brand new ones. The scary thing is that the KE30's tyres looked fine, even that one that disintegrated looked okay and showed no signs of imminent failure.
I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, especially since this car is about to embark on a very long drive, KL - Krabi and back, but I'll likely do Krabi - Songkhla - Betong - KL for the return leg, solo. This is gonna be fun!
Stay tuned, more to come, next up, the Shakedown! :)

I ever used those Silverstone NS800 tyre, didnt like it, it performs well on dry road surface but on wet surface its the worst especially during heavy rain. Good decision on changing it.

How's the road noise and comfort level? I'm leaning towards Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 for my W124 as the reviews on comfort and road noise are excellent and it's not very expensive at Rm 210 per piece.

Going well! Had to get some mechanical stuff done after the Krabi drive, so she's been out of action for a while. I haven't tabulated all the costs, but I reckon it's around +/- rm7k all in so far 😊
get in touch with sagapekak for the "old" style number plates

Good for my purposes and my needs, can't compare them to PS4S and other high performance tyres la, they're the budget tyre from Falken, same as what Viking tyres are from Conti-Dunlop, which are also very good 😊

Tq. They're not cheap though. I think we can get Toyos in the same price range.
Why dont you refurbish the plates like you did with the car, excellent job btw.. congrats

the silverstone kruzer tyres are rubbish and dangerous. used it on my Camry and it aquaplanes easily on wet road and just after a year the tyres sidewall bulged (like an egg shape kind of bulge).

Thanks for the feedback, I recall them being very cheap tyres that last forever, popular with taxis. And there were some here asking me to give them away, nonsense la 🙄

This is why the Toyo bigwigs chose to phase out most of the Silverstone lineup and replace them with entry level Toyo tyres. But the new ones should have no issues since it's being produced on the same line as Toyo in Taiping.
