currently using Bridgestone MY01 195/50/15 on my Myvi. the only good thing i can experience with these tyres is, they stand durable even though i've ran over deep potholes countless of times. but it maybe just a matter of time before reaching the limit. the bad, is its hard sidewall sacrifices the comfort feel, even a slight bump shakes the car too much

for a budget of RM250/pcs, i'm planning to change the tyres that is suitable for my Myvi's stock suspension setup. preferably comfort and, durable enough to withstand potholes as there are too many of them on the road i've been travelling along everyday. maybe i'll go for 195/55/15 size this time, as soft tyres might not be able to give enough impact absorption to protect my rims if i stay with the current size

recommendation please. thanks

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...
MY01 is good for dry i guess

so it's between Falken 912 and Hankook V12 then. will look into it

by the way, is there a calculation whether to determine the percentage of size of new rims+tyres compared to stock? just to make sure it won't go over 3% increment
