you have to go for 1st time nitrogen filling with cheeann where charges apply.
once the pressure drop, cheeann will refill for free. but that will take ages. isn't it?  tongue.gif

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 brows.gif

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 smile.gif

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

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...

*
yeah, agree on what you said on the noise and comfort about a ride
i remember when i first change my tyre from that poor michelin Energy MXV8 to hankook v12, the feeling was enormous
noise level was so much better in the v12
but then again, traction was my priority, so yeah, didn't bother less

guys, how is the federal evo 595 compare to the michelin PS3?
the federal 595 should be noisier compare to PS3 due to the directional thread. How about performance and durability wise?
Some say the PS3 got lower rate compare to the 595

thanks for the info mich.
Anyone using Hankook V8rs? I recently just swap my V12 to the back and V8 to the front, and it seems that my alignment is not accurate, it tends to go left whenever I put my steering straight. I've ask the tyre shop and they say they also encounter alot of similar cases with that V8 tyre, anyone experience this?

V8rs is older gen of V12 i think you know of this...
but that is another problem of front back rotation also... your rear wheels might wear unevenly thats all, let it run about 500km to wears it off and see... have this problem b4 also, but it is not purely tires problem but also our suspension system problem... the camber degree affect the tires wears, it is wears outside means possitive (if not mistaken) opposite for wearing inside faster....
so take it easy, let it run-in and see... or you can ask them to swap the both front wheels and see... it might helps... my sifu in ipoh did this b4 and it works, for me at least...
BTW why ask about 595... if you are satisfy with V12 y not stick to it... i used 1 set also but now it is on my family's older ride... it works well for my mom, she went up to Cameron that day and feedback was nice tires good comfort and grips compare to PP2... but she haven try my PS3 yet on curvy roads yet hehe if not she will get poison... cos PS3's grip is good good compare to V12 but its side wall is slightly harder which makes handling is better...

i did all my suspension setup about a month ago before swapping the front tyres to rear and vise versa. So, suspension could be the least suspect.
My chamber is opened up about 5 degrees on all side, and I believe swapping tyres won't affect the alignment right?

The reason I asked 595 because a friend who doesn't believe on the importance of tyres recently just changed his tyres to 595 and he said it was fantastic, just wondering how 'fantastic' was it laugh.gif he probably never use a UHP tyres before, and yet he loves to speed and hardcore driving.

jolipoli81@
have you changed your steering bush? if the steering bush is already worn out, no alignment or tires could help.

going to change to superpro soon, waiting for the stock to come in
and it is necessary to do alignment when changing steering bush am I right?
