Looking back to the question raised by michael and my other previous post, I was referring to the pp2 and not nct5.

I'm using Continental Comfort 195/60/R15 currently and would like to hear the review from you guys.

Hope you guys can share with me.

came as stock along with the car....smooth at the begining but after about one year (25k) of using...the steering vibrate no matter how much balancing is done..and when its being rotated on the balancing machine..i can see its "jumping"/not smooth....but not when the tire is new .....my opinion might be wrong.... laugh.gif
but grip during corning on dry is good and wet not bad as well...and if u want to get better cornering..pump extra 1 or 2psi for this tire...

got chance to try dunlop D01 where just installed in my mom's car.....well..i can say its good for normal driving and slight average cornering.....but once you break the traction, the tire screeches and whole car understeer badly...and i tested the same stretch where i use my PP2 to corner but different car..la... D01 definitely suitable for normal driving, slightly hard still ok but if trash it then rclxub.gif ......quiet tire also.... rclxms.gif

haha...yeah...when u corner on D01 okok..but if u become wild abit..then habis...screeching sound suddenly appear and understeer.... sweat.gif ....but for old people is ok..la.... brows.gif .....PP2 is still my choice...not really noisy also... tongue.gif

@loong... yea Dunlop D01... cannot push ... push either get wild understear or wild overstear... no control... not subtle and controllable.... but to get to to do either is also quite hard....hav to really drive rough...  under rain conditions... almost similar but easier 2 push it and lose control.... its a bit hard... quite quiet for an old tire... plus not to mention bang for the buck!

Loong and michael ......i wonder how pp2 sound and harshness and wet driving is compared to dunlop???

@michael... hmm v12 hydroplaning not as good as PP2? i m considering v12 now after reading some of ur comments.... hmmm

i jus wonder how v12 is compared to dunlop..... any comparison on dunlop formula D01 ... hankook v12 and pp2?
*
hmmm...pp2 noise not that bad either & its much harsher than dunlop d01.....but the steering feedback is good and when you corner dont feel any softness/bodyroll on PP2.....but for dunlop D01 on the other hand, its a value for money quiet tires...but the tires only run about 1k++ which fitted on my mom's car recently.....in terms of harshness, i think, D01 not bad and less harsh than PP2 but taking corners i can definitely feel the softness of the tire...and when its being corner hard, it dosent give any squeaking sound frm the tire...unless it looses control only will squeek.... laugh.gif
based on my opinion....PP2 is harsher than D01...but it is being tested frm the two different cars that will not proof a solid feedback since the suspension,nvh all different....
but for those who want a affordable tires D01 is great choice to grab...heck even my friends uses D01 as their new tire replacement.....and only one of my friend uses PP2 on honda city.....others were goodyear,silverstone & etc

Thanks for the advise, been using this -2 camber setting for more then 1k mileage ... for cornering feel can push more and entering cornering at even more speed...

but i notice another things is strait line is not very stable if the road is not smooth very easy to pull from left side or right side pull here and there  mad.gif  rain time even worse more pulling ...

my setting is -2 camber & toe is 0

maybe will try to reduce the camber to -1.8 see how things do biggrin.gif
*
wow...ur tires wear out nicely??....no makan inside since ur camber -2....

LOL.. yea man.. she told me Michelin is like gwai lou's size. asian size smaller rclxub.gif so take 185...

well, i think the price she offered for 185 (RM210) is quite cheap lo.. as it's near my area, no need drive so far away.
i'll try to ask for 195 tmr, see what price she offers...
