im planning between A drive or C drive Yokohama... R1 do not have for 15"... according to website, A drive more Fuel efficient compare to C drive... but C better handling right ? the FC big diff apart ?? thanks for answering my prev questions man... really appreciate it...

hi to all d sifu...
plan to upgrade to 17" for my wira...
ani gd tyre to suggest...?

205/40/17
1)comfort + silent
2)good grip for wet and dry(no nid super gd)
3)super long lasting

a)suggest me value buy one
b)another suggestion can be around rm300 - rm350 / donut

using 15" falken 912 now...
thread gone fast like hell...
done 5k++ milage but front wheel gone around 30 - 40%...
back stil ok...

thx in advance...

there is no such thing as super long lasting and at the same time good grip in dry and wet, at least not with the budget you have...

unless u are willing to pay for it

something is not right here, am running on 912 on Vios which ady clocked more than 40k km with abt 20% left. Even on my LGT it has clocked more than 10k km and there's still lots of room to wear.

i same as u...using 912 also...195/50/15.
not even 20k my front tyre worn out, so i swap to the back.
now the swap back thats in front, about 5k+ already worn down to the square indicator on the 912 with some places flat already.

just waiting for time to go install michelin ps3.

guys, how would the Hankook V12 compare to Yokohama C Drive?
what are the other rivals to these tyres? thanks

C Drive is better than A Drive of course... and C Drive 2 is coming out already so wait for that... R1 don have 15"???
well fren u can get all, your choice better handling or better FC... there is no such thing as all...


u want 17" then don think about comfort except u are on stock suspension, still ok la..
try 15" Michelin PS3 about RM260 now, much better than Falken 912... if you want to change to 17" all the tires nice tires is more than RM300 so think about it better... and as per bro kcng said there is no long lasting tires is lower profile series... especially 17" size...

well Hankook V12 surely will be better in grip compare to C Drive from noise wise C Drive will be sightly better...
what is your size there is also Michelin PS3, Yokohama S Drive, Toyo T1R, Toyo DRB, Federal 595 Evo and a few others... depends what is your size...

currently on 17" but thinking to revert back to 15"
if 15" PS3 would be the best choice wouldn't it?
When i say best, i meant best for spirited driving

well can suggest me tyre price around rm300 - rm350...
i think i'm stil ok wif d price...

maybe at least can last longer one...
dun like falken z912...
reali scare me to see d tyre worn out so fast...

yes... is good enough... it hold wells in wet or dry... but if you need better grip in dry then u might need to try those extreme tires...

what size you mean???? 17" or ur current one (what is ur current size)

C drive 2 when coming out ?? coz my tire really need to change d.. the bulging is freaking me out everytime i drive... dare not even go above 100km/h... can i use 2 c drive then in the future change another 2 c drive 2 ?? hehe...

i wan better handling... but if the FC is like 2-3km/L diff then abit i will consider FC lor...

yes, y not.... as long as in the same axle (front or rear) you have same model...

any suggestion for my vi tyre ??? perfromace good yet cheaper price will do ..

any recomendation for 17inch civic fd1 model value for money tire?
budget around 300-350. comfort and silent as priority...
thanks ya.

your original 14" size???? that size don have real performance tires la... more towards comfort...
i can put 185/60 R14, Falken 912, Michelin PP2, Toyo Teo Plus, both PP2 and Teo Plus is a lil expensive around RM200... 912 is nice and cheap, but the thread tends to wear a lil fast...

Hankook V12 or Nexen 8000

yes is 14' i am sure 14' also has it's good ... for what i need is cheaper price yet good in dry or wet condition and yet silence .. if possible how about KUMHO tyres ??? they said is good yet silence and sold RM160 for each

u want good in dry and wet but cheap....
zzzzzzz

sorry, but is V12 quiet? I'm using one, I felt it is just normal, not to say very noisy, and just alright, dunno bout other tyres though
but from what i heard, directional tyres are meant to be a bit noisy
correct me if im wrong

Nexen 8000?? nv heard this brand before wo... dunno my area have this or not... roughly how much ? can fd1 fit 215/50/r17? or thicker?
is the thread tahan enough? currently using PP2. almost botak alr... feel like vy noisy though but the grip is still ok.... so start to survey what tire suitable. just normal driving style only....

well teo plus is better la... if you say Kumho is good then Michelin XM1 also not bad... but it is not cheap...

well it can be consider quiet already coz there is much more tires that is more noisy... you are rite, directional is a lil more noisy than Asymmetric tires or Symmetric tires...
If you want quiet tire u need to find Asymmetric tires where is meant to be more quiet...
for 15" size PS3 is a safe bet, or you wanna try BS RE001 also around PS3 price but wet braking is not as good as PS3... cos it's traction is only A rated and PS3 is AA...
i'd V12 on Vios b4 for 1yr but now on PS3 already, while the V12 is swapped to SEG already... not much complaint on noise, of course i want tire which have lower noise but the most important is it's traction...
you need to set priority on ur tire preference, Traction, Comfort, Noise... rank urself...
comfort and noise is really depends on ur ride too coz it's suspension and noise insulation is different on every model...

PP2??? stock tires is PP1 is not PP2...
Nexen is within your budget, as below RM350 cannot fit much model in... you can try 215/45 R17 for GY F1 Asy but it is near to RM400/pc and Michelin PS3 where it is about RM450/pc... both is quiet and grippy...
if you don mind Nexen is nice and cheap, quiet some numbers of ppl using it and there is not much complaint for that value...
