Last time, you can get 195/55R14, but nowadays no more, so have to change rims and go 195/50R15...

Does it affect much if rear is 15" and front is 14"?

No point because you cannot get performance tyres in 14", then you start to understeer

i have this peeling problem too at sidewall area. in terms of performance, still performs well on dry and wet.
fyi the tyres had traveled more than 50000km and still got 35% thread left.

i highly recommended this tyre even though the price is quite scary to pay. i believe good things never cheap!

How old are the tyres? I mean the production batch.

Are all Michelins made in Thailand now ?

PS3 all the while from Thailand except for for larger sizes from EU....

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

PP2 from EU?

If not mistaken, from Thailand also. You can check your tyre weh......

early 2010, forgot the week number. even though it peeled off, it grips as usual, only the cosmetic view looks bad and quite an eyesore to look at.

 

[vr2turbo]

But 2 years plus, peel in not good.... shows that the rubber is hardening

VR2, I'm not sure if I'm right mostly smaller sizes are made in ASEAN country except those really UHP like AD08, R888 or some what....correct me if I'm wrong...

Some models smaller sizes made in Asean, bigger from EU, but certain models like AD-08 and so on, from Japan. In fact Toyo still from Japan. Some Korean tyres are now from Vitenam so all rojak already....:hmmmm:
