Tyre Frenzy~ ^.^ i think i'm mad...

Jian from Yita Auto Service Centre called me up yesterday, told me that my tyre had arrive ^.^ hurray~ So i went to his shop is Kulim immediately with my Works  Ewing 15" rim.
Jian's very professional shop in Kulim, you would be stunted by the amount of rare second-hand rims he can get his hand on.
Jian(left) and I inspecting the works of his worker, dun wan to scratch my 2K+ worth piece of art :P
The tyre we were talking about, legendary AD07 (price drop a bit due to new range of AD08 out in the market)
All 4 pieces lying nicely behind ranger ready to bring home.
Compared to my 185 RS-2, 195 sure had much larger contact surface.

Testing to fit all 4 new tyres into mango... however only the front succeed, while the rear tyre was pressing directly onto the fender... think i would really need a fender re-work after 29th's Time Attack.

Mango with his new look ^.^ 
Second trip today to PohNee Tyre to take out the old RS-2 which will be sold to my cousin and put in the 195/60R14 Yokohama A-048 which i purchase from Japan. 
Semi-Slick for mango's rear.
Look nice in my Watanabe RS (6" really is a bit small, wanna get my hand on 7" or 8" RS ^^)
The best part of tyre changing hoho~ balancing.

In search for better traction~

While others was happily driving around in Kg Gajah Track, i wasn't really feel right about mango's rear wheel... my 185/60R14 Hancook RS/2 keep on sliding all over the place as soon as i step a bit deeper onto the throttler. 

So i ask around for advices, and the answer is almost the same, i need better traction on the rear a.k.a. wider and stickier tyre~ 
This is what come over my mind at first~ 
Yokohama Advan Neova AD-07
Then i remember my friend Yus told me he had some of this~ 
Yokohama A-048

So i call him up and hook-up the deal ^.^ and i get a good price for 4 piece of 195/60R14 hoho~ perfect for my Watanabe RS rims~ 

But i keep on searching and finally i landed on one of this~ which make me drew.......

The all new A-050 newest in the semi-slick tyre line from Yokohama as well as  the new AD-08



And if anyone interested in the new AD08's can check it out on the official website~ Yokohama Tyres

My Banana Rim is home~ with RS-2 on it ^^

finally, after 2 weeks i finally got time to go down to pick my rims with tyre up.

I got my banana rim from this shop in Kulim, Kedah. He did offer me a reasonable price for both the rims and tyres. Thanks Jian.

all four of them lying nicely behind my Ranger.

Just love the banana like spoke of the rim, i know it sure will look good on my mango ^^ he will look even handsome.

This is what we were talking, HanKook Venture RS-2, performance tyre, those RS would possibly enable me go a few sec faster in Kg Gajah.

All stack up nice and clean in my factory, waiting for mango's arrive to put them on...
T_T darn i miss you mango~
