just thinking to upsize to 16" because of better grip and better look..
yup, the price different is quite big.. sad.gif
haha, to achieve something then have to pay the price for it.. smile.gif

Some recommend me 205 45 R16 of michelin ps3. Will it be a lot diff between 205 45 R16 and 205 50 R16 ? can it last like 40k mileage?
for me, grip(safety), performance(dry+wet), on the other hand noise and comfort can be compromise smile.gif

15 inch ps3 is probably around rm250-280. 16 inch maybe rm450-480. Are you ready to go at that price driving only gen2? You really do pay the price for the looks. I think thats too expensive for my gen2. Grip pretty much the same between 15 and 16 inch. If you use 205 45 16 the size is actually almost the same or smaller than 195 55 15. Use the online tyre size calculator to get the exact difference with stock size tyres. I use 205 50 16. I recommend getting maybe Yoko A drive r1. It was below rm300 last year. Don't know if the price has gone up. I now use yoko S drive and Kumho ecsta. Previously I used achilles atr.

Was using Federal SS595, directional tire. This MC5 wasn't too bad, drove around 110 to 130km/h with moderate raining on expressway and it still feel planted. nod:

It's for the thread to last long, so won't be really good at wet and grips.

Best is to try push it slowly until you feel it can't take it anymore.

Err.. when u bought it, did you ever think why it is so cheap for that kind of size ?

I never try before .. but many people said keep away from Silverstone. If 4x4 those car, silverstone is ok.

I am using the same size as you .. now Hankook S1 Evo.

The concept of Hankook Ventus S1 evo addresses the needs of owners of very fast high-performance cars and luxury vehicles that demand uncompromisingly sporty performance across all parameters, without having to dispense with attributes such as suspension comfort or low tyre noise.

As usual, Hankook’s developing engineers focused primarily on the safety criteria of handling properties, high grip and braking performance. Therefore, the use and development of the highly dispersible silica tread compound, which was used for the first time ever in creating the Ventus S1 evo, was a high priority. A new mixing process ensured a significantly higher silica enrichment level in the tread compound as well as an improved filler dispersion, which guarantees grip in the wet and at the same time enhances rolling resistance.


Its asymmetrical tread design with the characteristic massive circular tread rib built into the outer profile ensures exact steering feedback for a very precise handling even at highest speed.

In combination with a new concept sidewall profile, the closed design outer shoulder allows for maximum power transmission during cornering and exact steering feedback. Broad outer wave-form straight tread grooves effectively drain water and thus provide safety, even on wet streets.

A balanced surface contact pressure and power transmission for precise handling even at high speeds as well as optimized braking performance are enabled by Ventus S1 evo’s stiff steel belt package in combination with its high-density zero-degree nylon belt.

Today I saw CLS 350 using Falken tyre, can invest so much to get the car but can't invest a bit more for safety and performance...
