QUOTE(kobe10 @ Jan 21 2010, 10:22 PM) Just need some advice yeah.. I am getting my CPS waja soon. I plan to change my rim and tyre..i dont like that rim and the Good year NCT5.. 15 or 16 inch better for a fast driver with noob skill?PP2 too exp..4XX per tyre... any advice please.. well for 15" tire you still can get a good tire at RM200~300 but if you wanna change to 16" i think u need to rethink about that... it cost u at least RM300~400 for 1 tire... ur choice man... there is another phrase, when u change to 16" y not 17" then??? it's tire is almost similar in price... haha... QUOTE(yokatasan @ Jan 22 2010, 10:12 AM) hey i got ques to ask here is it possible that changing to ultra low profile tires without sacrifice comfortable of the car? yes as bro yngwie said u have to choose... it is depends on ur car suspension setup also... low profile tires with hard suspension setup = harsh ride... but good handling high profile tires with soft suspension setup = boat ride... but comfort u have to mix and match what u want... if you have dugong u can change to low profile tires so u can get better handling... if you have CT better don so stupid things as honda suspension setup is not that soft at all... |

quick question to all sifus here
is there such thing as Hankook Ventus V12 and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo ? or basically they're referring to the same thing ?
Same goes for Federal 595 and Federal 595 Evo
If it's 2 different tyres, wat r the differences? Pls dun flame me, still new in tyres n their website is nothing but full of marketing crap

It is possible to a certain extend but it will not be 100% similar to the OEM comfort. And it come at some cost too. This is categorized under suspension, chassis and wheel tuning. |

no la... V12 is very cheap indeed compare to my previous PP2... u cannot get anything like that already... but PP2 will surely top V12 on the Hydroplaning i had done 140km/h raining cats and dog on the way from S.Petani (Kedah) back to Penang Island... V12 i had experience some hydroplaning already (around 20~30% used) at Klang Valley areas...  the comfortness, traction V12 tops PP2 but not much but handling at high speed PP2 tops V12... actually this 2 tires is like opposite character... Comfort, High Grip in Corners (dry/wet), Braking distance (dry/wet) V12 tops it... Quietness, Handling in Highspeed, Hydroplaninng Wet PP2 tops it... so is like what you want... i will choose back PP2 anytime... but V12 is a alternative choice for me... BTW what size are you using... i assume u are using similar as mine 195/55 R15 by the budget that u set... |
