bad train of thought. if comfort is your priority, please forget about lowering the car unless you're gonna invest in good spring/absorbers or adjustable (easily minimum of 2-3k ringgit even on basic proton rides)

very expensive ones such as eibach/H&R/titan/RCS those kind

thats why if you want comfort, forget about lowering rides

it's a basic tire, seller prolly just want to push falken out w

1) irregular wear = no claim, own fault
2) 2 years is not very new, as tires life span = ~3 years max

tldr: nope.

hmm iinm is no problem, however best if you get a few other opinions if it is perfectly fine for your city's stock rims

oh ya not to mention, xm2 is michelin's basic tire, not even for spirited driving ROFL

no worries, not really pointing to you, more towards the poster you replied to. as he mentioned spirited driving

and yes agreed fully on your point. you'll never know when you need the stopping power even if you drive slow

the general rule = you get what you pay for.

however korean tires aren't that bad and i believe they are improving. and i also know there are many satisfied users. could be a lemon unit, hard to say/tell for sure. try to do a warranty claim on the tire since it well, exploded clean.

height clearance won't be an issues cine the profile/rim diameter is the same.

only concerns would be:
- rim potentially not wide enough to support the additional width (then again there are some really radical fittings so this shouldn't be a concern either)

- tire hit fender issue on the inside, which means need spacers
get it in pairs, prolly just a thin one since just 185 to 195

if you fit the tire and the clearance is still ok, then no need spacer (save your money and better wheel rigidity since no additional element)

if other members feedback no issue and assuming they have not modded the springs, then it'll be of no issue.

im on 195/55/15. pretty much same criteria/requirement, and i'm very satisfied on my Yokohama c drive 2

there are many claims on fast treadwear, which is true, however i've used my tires for like 19-20k km, 1 year, and its only about 50-60% left. not too bad i think. (was expecting worse since many feedback that the tires only last 30-40k km)
it's not like i don't drive my car aggressively either

can consider yokohama's c drive2/advan db or toyo's versado series/c1s or michelin's ps3

cant comment for toyo, however i firmly believe yokohama/michelin would easily out handle/perform the conti cc 5

pricing wise, i believe all of them more expensive than cc5 too, having the advan db and michelin ps3/high end versado range from toyo being the priciest of the bunch

conti cc1 is rubbish lol.

stock tires that came with the nissan sentra year 2007

he said yes, and i have an iswara and dont see a problem with it.

C drive 2 sidewall is around the same softness if not even softer than cc 5. a drive is yokohama's basic tire so comfort/nvh wise can't compare to cc5.
overall c drive 2 will beat xm2 in comfort/nvh as xm2's nvh worsen after 30-40% tread usage. c drive2 remains quite consistent with the comfort/nvh although it doesn't last as long as xm2 (definitely doesn't cost as much as xm2 though)

how tight? got an actual price? if really tight, stick with basic tires. no choice anyways

yokohama c drive 2 if you dont mind the shorter treadwear.

im using 195/60/15 for around rm220-230 per tire on the nissan sentra, 55 profile on the iswara

generally, yes.

grip/nvh not as much though

ns5000 basic tire, cc5 comfort tire, so at least cc5 is good in something. so yes, it is better.
