Toyo C1S - RM360 (May09) ,Ed tyres S.Alam Treadwear 300,AA,A
Pirelli P7 - Rm350 - Klang , include Balancing & Alignment (Jul09)


For C1S there is some forumer feedback that it is a performance tire with comfort...
it will not make ur ride suffer from harshness...
but please make sure you priorities the comfort or handling... then ask urself whether noise from the tire is ok or not...
if you say comfort... then you should go to Michelin Primacy LC, Falken 912 (cheap and reliable)...
A lil comfort with performance tire you can try out Hankook V12... very hot item for the size 195/55 R15... it will not make ur ride very harsh... if not try out the more expensive duo Toyo C1S and also Toyo T1R... this 3 tires will give you a lil comfort but it's performance of cornering and handling cannot compare with the tires below...
Michelin PP2, BS Adrenalin, Hankook RS series, Yokies S drive... but it will be a bit more expensive...
if the handling is priority then those 4 tires have harder side wall tire is your choice...

remember make sure you wan comfort or handling...

if really want comfort... no for S Drive... u wan comfort then i assume noise should be minimal also...
try Falken 912 since you said it is a passenger tires... cheap...
others i scare it might be a bit harsh for you... if you don mind a lil expensive go for Michelin Primacy LC, Toyo C1S...
but Toyo C1S only 205/55 R16 have... try to ask around and see...

what i see from the list... actually 205/55 R16 tires actually is a bit cheaper...

Goodyear F1 ASYMMETRIC 530.00 Quicksave Subang July 2009

that size not much ppl use already... Sime... can throw grips sucks.... Silverstone so so la...
try Yokohama A Drive or Michelin XM1 if you can pay a lil more...

Toyo T1R or R1R??? i think you are aiming for peformance... how much is ur budget???

u are towards Extreme tires... but do you mind a lil comfort as well?? if ok then you can give F1 Assy a try...
you can give Michelin PP2 a try if you don mind it is a bit expensive... but don get cheated by both PP2 and F1 Assy threads... it is quite good...
Yokohama S Drive also not bad at all... Toyo C1S is a lil on comfort as well.. Hankook V12 is more comfort but handling also not bad...

well don get cheated by F1 Assy... it is extreme also if not mistaken... it is comfort with good amount of grips... quite a numbers of them using it now... don trust me... ask ppl in autoworld forum...

well you can try Michelin Priamcy LC as i of them said...for me BS tires is not that good also... their top range tires is good but over expensive...
Yokohama C Drive also not bad as iti s similar cat with Primacy LC...

from the listing Toyo C1S also available in ur range but the price is a bit steep... Primacy LC if not mistaken also around there...

well bro... those cheaper tires faster lose grip than these 2... don trust me try la... sure you will complain noisy and also traction is not good...
Yokohama A drive and also Michelin XM1 give you comfort...try XM1... sure you can feel the difference...
are you using GY or Sime now??? then you will feel a big gap of differences... my fren feedback is wow... a lil expensive but comfort and quiet...
BTW if you wanna use that size of tire to corner hard... cannot la... it's grip and handling will give way...
upgrade to 15" if you wanna have better tires and also more grip...

Hankook V12 and Falekn 912 will be around RM200 in Klang...

it is Chamber Nuts... well if the tilting is out by a lot ok lo... but sometimes it is just another gimmick to earn more...

price list for ur size...

Bridgestone Potenza RE-001 (japan) - RM 340 @ puchong
Yokohama S.Drive (japan) - RM 320 @ puchong (inc bal & alignment)

try Hankook V12... budget around RM280 if not mistaken although no one mention thep rice at AW forum...
Falken 912 and Michelin Primacy LC is passenger tires...
Hankook V8RS, Hankook V12, Michelin PP2, Bridgestone Adrenalin RE-001, Yokohama S drive is all UHP tires...
it will surely better than the Falken, Dunlop that u have asked... not sure which Yokohama tires they give you...
try to look for the name of the tires... then u can know more about it...

too expensive... with my size 195/55 R15 i can buy 2 PP2 tires...

is ok for you to change to 195/60 R15... but not advisable to 55 series...
try Falken 912 or Yokohama C Drive or Michelin Primacy LC... but Falken 912 should be around RM200 the other 2 around RM250...

that is over the basic 3% rules... 3% plus or minus from ur stock size is not recommended... it will give ur milage meter a false reading and ur speedo meter also...
Falken is a step higher than XM1 as XM1 only a basic comfort tire... while 912 with a lil performance... and also cheap...

fren... try V12... around RM180 if not mistaken...

y not u give 205/50 R16 a try... that size is odd size if not mistaken...
205/50/R16
Hankook V8RS - RM270/pc @ Siang Sin Tyre, Mergong Alor Setar (3 July 2009, bought 4pcs)
Falken ZIEX-912 - RM265 @ Jooi Seng Klang (Apr 2009)

Bridgestone Potenza RE-001 (japan) - RM 340 @ puchong
Yokohama S.Drive (japan) - RM 320 @ puchong (inc bal & alignment)

u can look for Hankook V12 evo also... it will be cheaper around V8RS price... BS not that value-for-money...

for Myvi 195/50 will give u more closer reading with the OEM fitting... 195/55 give you more comfort... both 50 and 55 series already consider as low profile... 60 series is normal... majority then cars OTR today is on lower profile tire that give you better handling...
Hankook V12 at that 2 size is Max RM200... on May i bought in klang for RM180/pc (55 series)...
if you ask me... V12 will give you in between the Falken 912 or Michelin XM1 and BS RE001 or Michelin PP2 or Yokohama S Drive... it give you a lil comfort while the handling is not far away from Michelin PP2...
can consider this tire as Cheap and Worth the value that we pay for... for PP2 and S Drive at that size u need at least RM240/pc... or RE001 around RM270... further more if you prefer comfort ride more than harsh ride u can take off this 3 tires in your mind...
lastly u only pay RM190/pc, you get around 80%~90% of the performance of those and u save RM50/tire or RM200 all round... y not?

it should be more or less and it is only 5% more in thickness and the demand of this 2 is there...
if you don mind sitting in a horse u can try PP2 or S Drive... good handling... but Hankook V12 beats them on total ranking in a test done by Opel using its Corsa fitted with 214/45 R17 if not mistaken...
PP2 get the hands up in the wet condition as it cuts thru water puddle very good...

** talk about S1 evo in AW... i wanna know more...
my nick there is Michael80

Throw away no3 and 4... if you wan more grip and handling... Excellence is a failure... it does not provide good grip...
sorry i couldn't comment much on Eagle F1 GSD3 and also RS-02 as did not use it b4... i skip GY already...
BTW... do you mind to tell us what is ur ride tire size and also ur budget... of course please tell us also Ride comfortness or handling which is important??? then we should be able to give you some good comments...
