Bridgestone Thailand, Michelin France, Pirelli Germany on Korean X20, in Malaysia

In my previous post, I mentioned that my front Bridgestone Potenza Adrenaline (RE001) tyres have been "eaten" on the inside VERY badly. I had to change those 2 tyres ASAP, however, the tyre dealer quoted Hyundai Svc Center RM 5++ per tyre, so I decided to try to look around first.

My Bridgstone tyres are 1 year 6 months old, with 27k mileage. Two tyres are still good, and have maybe 30-50% tyre thread left. I'm not gonna buy a full set of 4 new tyres just because 2 tyres need to be changed.

At the current prices, to buy 2 new 215/45/17 tyres would cost RM 800-1,000. Instead, I moved the pair of good condition Bridgestones to the front, and got 2nd hand tyres for the rear. Priced at RM 110 a piece, with 40% thread left, they're wider (225/45/17) and of different brands ("yin yong" in cantonese):

1. Michelin Pilot Sport - rear right








2. Pirelli P6000 Powergy - rear left








Hopefully they last me for at least another 1 year. Then will go for a more economical set of tyres.
