???? haha ??? u can't choose much... the 17" most of the thin tires (low profile tires) is like that...
if you want comfort try to use Michelin Primacy LC, Toyo C1S or Toyo T1R or Toyo DRB... find those whom has softer sidewall so it can absorb more bumps...

*** ya you can try GY F1 Asy also... but it is only available at 45 series and below... 215/45 R17 is just in the list...

if that is not enough, then u need to downgrade to 16" as some ppl did also for their Pug 308 also...

try GR90... skip CC5...

Q1 : Try Bridgestone GR90, Yokohama C Drive or new C Drive 2, Toyo C1S or CT01 those are better ones... CC5 is only entry level... others is like 1~2 step above them...

try to fit you Inspira with better tires then you can really see the potential... CC5 is replacement of CC1 it is a normal tires which does not even suitable for spirited driving... grip is no good, handling is no good...

Q2 : cannot... need to follow back the size...

Q3 : don have all PS3 only available at 55 and below... 60 is XM1 or Primacy LC already

a lot of place should have stock already... USJ1 Quicksave have stock but limited size...

if you are looking for comfort, 195/55 R15 is better... Falken 912 is nice, RM200/pc but wears a bit faster when you use it like a performance tire... u can try Hankook V12 but it is directional tires, so it might be a lil noisy for you... but since you say MY-01 is ok then V12 should not have any problem... MY-01 sucks la, the grip in wet like float...

you cannot fit a R17 tires to a R16 rim and also the opposite... what is your original size...
use 215/60 R16 look for GR90 it is comfort and nice although the price is a lil expensive compare to CC5..


185/65 R14??? i thought wira should be 185/60 R14... C Drive or C Drive 2 is nice...

what is your stock size... if your stock size is 195/50 R15 or 185/55 R15 or 185/60 R14 then change to 195/60 R15 is not advisable because 195/60 R15 is over +/- 3% of your stock size... over 3% it will affect your electronics calculation and also ur ABS braking too...

why you wanna change to 195/60 R15??? not comfort enough on 195/55 R15???

nah... 195/60 r15 mostly is comfort tires sometimes cheaper does not means similar quality of grip u get from it too... 195/55 R15 u can go for Falken 912, Yokohama C Drive or Michelin Primacy for better comfort... but Hankook V12, Toyo DRB is not that bad for me in terms of comfort but some ppl might felt it is still a lil hard...

still ok coz your stock is 195/60 R15 am i correct??? but you might felt a lil underpower coz the 17" rims is more heavier than ur stock 15" and your contact patch is larger so more rolling resistance and make it's FC is poorer also...

dry gri... nah... not that good also... only good for handling coz most of the bridgestone tires have slight harder sidewall compare with competitor...

use this calculator to see...

if you alignment is not out by much it is ok... but advisable to do it la.. since now a lot of them offer in package already...

no... it will not... except your tire wear uneven... if you hold ur steering straight it go straight then ur alignment is fine... if u release the hand it pulls to 1 side (steering turn itself) then the tires have uneven wear or the road is slanted to 1 side... normally all the roads is slanted a lil bit to help to water flow to the side and not accumulate at the center...

haha... well 17" lightweight rims might be lighter than 15" stock rim... depends...
the FC and also pickup also depends on the power of the car... if 1.6 using 17" surely the effect is more noticeable than 2.0, coz the power of 1.6 is lower and with such a heavy rim and high rolling resistance u need more power to turn the wheel so ur engine need to do more work... that makes you to step ur accelerator more than usual...
then the ride comfort that you enjoy now will be gone, but it will gives you better handling... traction is another say coz it depends much on the tire compound and design... so if you say u are ready to pay RM400 per 17" tires is ok, but u expect it to be below RM300, u will get those ok ok tires lo... so the traction is no good then your safety also affected...

ET i think is offset leh... so not much difference... but make sure the new offset does not clash with any of your parts in the wheel arches... if the tire offset further out the our handling might be better...

S drive ok ok la, but the noisy is irritating as per feedback... V12 noisy is slightly better, using 2set on different car...


V12 don wear fast la... Who told??? I use almost 5k mm already still quite ok, my old toy is heavy 1.3 ton with daily spirited drive... Last time got another set on Vios, when I swap to my older ride SEG it was only about 30% used after 10k km used... Now after 1 yr it still left about 40-50% leh...
It is a good buy... Good grip in dry n wet... N it is quite comfort too


I prefer c1s or new bridgestone gr90... Or even Michelin ps3 or hankook v12... What do you want from ur tire?
Comfort, Handling or Noise. Which is more important????


Hmmm new city 185/55 R16 or old city 185/55 R15??? or others size???


Is it 195/55 R15??? U can try a few tires. But again same question what do u expect from it??? Comfort, Noise, Handling... which is more important??? U can't have it all in 1 tire...

For both of u... R13 has only limited tires... Michelin is good already... So it is hard to find a same quality as it at that size... Upgrade to 14 inch rim n tires gives u more choice of tires... New yokohama c drive 2 is just out...

If not mistaken it starts from 15"... 14" can try yokohama c drive 2...

Good answer... But I'm surprise leh, y all ppl told me v12 n v8rs cannot last???
I think the main reason is the pressure, my 2 set of v12 last leh... The recent set I bought at Jan 11 and now it has not even wear 30% also... My car is heavy hatchback 1.3ton, tire pressure maintain at 35psi and above for front but for the rear is around 32psi...
Maybe they all can drive 40k km half yearly... Not sure...

Have not... Y??? It does not suit me... I want performance tire and not comfort... So this range for me is not grippy or good enough...

Well make sure u meant it on the comfort... Cos it is much irritated someimtes it gets too bumpy...

not bad, but the price is almost same with ps3 at 15" so it makes me takes ps3... And i never regret
But for 16" & 17" it is cheaper than ps3 so I'll give this a try...

Comfort is not that bad, noisy is slightly noisier but the grip is comparable with ps3... Ps3 is a good a llm rounder but the side wall might be a lil soft for some ppl... Federal 595 Evo, is nice tontry though...

i totally agree with this... my bro in-law fixed it on his Civic, regret terribly as it generates a lot of noise even though at normal speed (50km/h ~ 100km/h) only...

both not bad... Kumho KU31 not bad... both is cheaper solution...

PP2 is nice... KU31 is directional tires leh... haha... PP2 is your only choice... others is only entree level tires...

PP2 is Asymmetric la... it is more quiet...
KU31 is directional... should a slightly more noisy than PP2...
price, i'm not sure woh... last time my fren have Kenari, used both also PP2 is better but KU31 value for $$$$... ur call which to buy lo...

well no problem for me, that is also individual preference.... i prefer to have more grip, a lil noise is ok...

or your exhaust is more louder...

haha... directional tire problem... mine hankook V12 set when fitted to my old toy always run 1 side... after 4 times of swapping they manage to get it running straight...
try to ask them to swap 1 side front and rear... if cannot then swap the both front of course have to take off the rim...
no charges apply for me at least when i did complaint when i finish my installation at Teik Ming Sunway...
