thanks for the info!

and 2:50 sic? i heard so long its under 3min, its pretty damn fast liao
"slow" memang tipu punya

damn and a lot of the vets advised me to lower my air pressure because from what i experienced on speedfest last few weeks (ELITE speed circuit) upon 3rd run and beyond (well could be me not resting the car/removing hot air pressure in the tires) my tires (well, could be because of lolcomfort tires in track...) are basically giving out on grip/traction and my car's just sliding around the track on every single corner.

when i discussed this with the vets on that day, they were shocked to hear that my tires are on 31-32, and by the time im done on my 5th run they should be between 35-40, which is really floaty/bouncy and of course, severe lack of grip.
i didnt specially gauged the actual tire pressure since my run is done and i could care less, however for my friend that did 34 on his 18", the tires was at around 40+ despite the car/tires were parked cooling down for over 30mins.
he have another run because he's in the open category hence we gauged his tires and proceeded to release some air pressure down to ~28

so... how much more when you mentioned "pump in a little more air than usual"? even headache is when everyone else is mentioning otherwise


in other words/summary, what do you recommend for 195/50/15 for track usage?

i see much thanks for the input man!

because there are quite a few variables so i could not even validate if you nor the other folks that mentioned others are correct or wrong. having comfort tires in the track is already a problem by itself

and thanks for the video, i believe i've seen it, not exactly sure if it was also linked by you
silly me for forgetting haha

my car straight line max 160km/h je unless got downhill so who's actually slower?

wait for ad08r v2 bulk?

my car runs on metric bro, even the speedometer itself, max 180km/h je

no need la, my speed don't go that high pun, 3 speed auto, engine would blow before i can reach those speeds lol

my only car la. if you meant the sentra, 4 speed AT, max i went was ~190km/h... with kong absorbers don't dare to push more.
anddddd i'm not helping my mom to replace those absorbers lol.

both cars on c drive 2, not exactly the tires you want to go at extreme speeds

eh shouldn't atr sports be better? directional, and iinm aa or a traction rating? c drive 2 no DOT rating langsung lolz

well for straights, c drive 2 does give me a lot of confidence, just not cornering/hard braking though heh, the tires loses grip way too fast, only the decent traction that makes the tires worthy

wah highly wanted car (since damn good timing )

no wo never tried kumho before. going to get ad08r very soon anyways, so lazy lah

personal experience is the c drive 2 owning the ps3 in terms of nvh/comfort.

what it loses out is durability and performance.

imho ps3 is a jack of all trades tire, does everything decent, just master of none

i don't think there's any yokohama tires that actually excel in wet, and speaking of wet anyways, there's always the gy eagle f1 as2, and maybe even michelin's own flagship tires (the ps3 isn't it lol) then there's also conti's flagship tire which are quite good iinm, just that michelin/conti pricing are just

a lot of feedback is that ps3 is still durable, cept few certain individuals tend to get peeling/flaking on their ps3, despite it's ps3 and not older ps2 or newer revision of the tires (ps4? LOL)
unless michelin is known to alter materials/compound within their current model/production which i've yet heard of

get this: yokohama officially rates c drive 2 better than s drive in wet
(don't ask me, i'm equally as baffled as you probably are )

and from feedback anyways, s drive wet capabilities (and nvh/comfort) goes down the drain past 50-60% tread usage

but eh ive driven on cdrive2 at 130-140 in heavy downpour/over puddles generating waves taller than my side windows...
barely any aquaplaning
can't say the same today with the treads having few mm off TWI, i think only 30-40% tread left, now it's aquaplaning left/right even around 120km/h over much shallower puddles

that's the thing though, i was thinking that the c drive 2 would last me quite short, however it is lasting far beyond most feedback on it's distance covered, among other things such as accident damage, 2x ramming my wheels into curbs etc.

all 4 wheels are still running

a drive should be cheaper, really basic entry level tire, nothing special about it

conti CC5 should be slightly more expensive (around Cdrive 2 price) offering better nvh/comfort than a drive, performance shouldn't be of much difference however it *should* be better than a drive.

what size? if 500/tire and not large sized rims, you *MAY* be able to buy yokohama Advan DB instead which will be better than c drive 2

apparently, yokohama rates c drive 2 wear rate being better than c drive despite it being of softer compound and using natural materials - orange oil in their compound.

refer this from yokohama themselves:

source:
http://global.yokohamatire.net/mediacenter...sia_Oceania.pdf (feel free to check out yokohama's official rating for the advan db/c drive 2/c drive)

personally, DESPITE the general feedback/complaint that it wears down very fast, i still manage to push it over 40k km, and that's with mostly retarded driving/speeding, traffic light drags, touge, track. (a c drive 2 is absolutely NOT MEANT for the aforementioned activities)

but bro, are you SURE you're able to get advan DB for that kinda price? make SURE it is v551 and not other older Advan db models and manufacturing date not older than 2010/2011 (shelf life can go for 3-4 years or more especially if it is in cool storage)

Advan DB is definitely more expensive than c drive 2 as it is Yokohama's top of the line/flagship comfort/low NVH tires, so seeing it being same price as the c drive 2 is a bit fishy, a good guess is that they are clearing old stocks

sure it does.

c drive 2 also got sizes in 14", cant remember the exact available size though
