Tayar: Chapter 2

Bismillah
Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Ini kisah pasal tayar kereta aku chapter 2 yang sebenarnya sudah sebulan berlalu daripada tarikh sebenarnya peristiwa ini berlaku. Aku tak sempat nak tulis disebabkan terlalu sibuk dengan hal kerja dan keluarga. Aku jadikan post ini kesinambungan kepada post aku yang lama dulu disini.

Aku perasan, tayar kereta aku yang berbaki dua yang belum lagi ditukar semakin nipis. Boleh dikatakan setiap kali sebelum aku drive kemana-mana. Aku akan check singgat nipis tebal bunga tayar. Maklumlah, golongan miskin bandar macam aku kenalah berjimat. Aku tahan diri untuk tukar tayar yang dua tu selagi kenipisan tayar belum lagi cecah singgat tu.

Nak dijadikan cerita, adik aku nak bertunang pula. Pendek cerita, aku tukar kereta dengan adik ipar aku sebab kereta dia lebih besar. Kereta aku tak muatlah nak bawak segala mak nenek hantaran-hantaran semua tu. Adik ipar aku pulak, dia nak travel jauh pula pada hari yang sama. Nak tak nak, pejam mata aku kena tukar jugaklah tayar kereta aku untuk mengelakkan sebarang perkara yang tak diingini berlaku.

Bermulalah misi research aku. Based on last post aku, ada la discussion pasal tayar jenama Viking. Katanya murah dan berbaloi untuk tayar level orang tiada ada macam aku. Aku tanya kawan-kawan aku yang memang particular pasal kereta & researched kat internet. Hasilnya aku terarah kepada 2 jenama iaitu Bridgestone & GoodYear, tetapi aku masih masukkan Viking dalam list aku.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150
Viking City Tech 5
Goodyear Assurance Duraplus    

Ikut harga, of course Viking City Tech 5 paling murah. Disebabkan, ada kawan aku suruh baca sendiri apa yang brand tu claim kat website dia. Aku pun mula baca, malangnya Viking hanya ada review untuk City Tech 2. Disebabkan itu aku keluarkan Viking daripada list.

Aku copy paste daripada website:

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150
New ECOPIA tyres offer more fuel savings with uncompromised wet performance and wear life!

ECOPIA tyres are made with the latest technology for reducing rolling resistance which leads to less fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions. ECOPIA tyres also deliver the safety peformance of better braking in the wet and longer wear life.

With 7.1% improvement in fuel efficiency, comparing ECOPIA EP150 to Bridgestone AR10 over 10,00OKM distance travelled. (Size 195/65R15 based on JATA test). Actual savings may vary which depend on proper tyre maintenance, vehicle, driving style and road conditions

Goodyear Assurance Duraplus
Imagine a set of tyres that can take a driver the grueling distance of approximately two and a half times around the world*. The Goodyear Assurance DuraPlus is engineered to let drivers go up to 100,000km* and comes reinforced with DuPont™ Kevlar® for added protection, delivering tremendous value through being a longer lasting and more durable tyre.

Designed for small- to mid-sized passenger vehicles, the Assurance DuraPlus tyre boasts and improved version of the Goodyear’s proprietary TredLife Technology™ with a new enhanced tread compound, combined with DuPont™ Kevlar® reinforcing, which provide drivers with the assurance of a longer lasting, more durable tyre.

TredLife Technology™ increases the usable life of the tyre for longer mileage. In the Assurance DuraPlus, it utilizes a more advanced carbon-based tread compound with higher carbon content than its predecessor, providing higher resistance to road wear and up to 100,000km* of road travel.

The introduction of a DuPont™ Kevlar® overlay into the Assurance DuraPlus also increases the tyre’s durability. Used in military grade equipment, this lightweight material maintains stiffness and strength even under high temperature conditions when the tyre is in motion, giving drivers’ added protection against road hazards.

The Assurance DuraPlus is the tyre to turn to for outstanding mileage and protection.

*Tyre mileage projection as tested by Goodyear Testing Division in size 185/65R14 on roads in Thailand and actual mileage may vary due to state of roads, tyre pressure and maintenance, climate, driving styles and usage patterns etc. Distances between cities are estimates of straight point to point distances in kilometers.   

Aku buat keputusan selepas 2 hari berfikir. Aku beli Goodyear Assurance Duraplus.

Alhamdulillah segalanya selesai.

Sekian.
