for normal driving, falken 522 fits your budget. at least its wet grip is still better than those of silverstone synergy m3 and indonesian made forceum  or whatever is it.
*
imo...falken 522 wet and drip grip are poor
comfort level are good than other performance tire

at this price can get other better tire

C.drive2 available in 185/60/14 n all come from phillipines (msia market)

compare C.drive2 to XM2
i think comfort level,grip C.drive2 better
XM2 better lifespan, a better ECO(rolling resistance) tire than cdrive2

Why not continue to use PS3 for your City? That are good tyres. Toyo's price isn't cheap and Falken..quality and performance have no match with PS3.

I heard people commented this with high speed drive during rainy days.... sweat.gif  You are among those i have heard from. I would say your comment is real there are others driving like you while rainy days.

ps3 dont have any 195/65/16
i think u r using 175/65/15 XM2


semi-slick for street use abit wasted and dangerous man
although u have good experience with it

semi slick / slicks does not offer good traction in wet. they are meant mostly for track use / street racing.
on optimum temperature and dry surface, this tires is glued to the road thus provide excellent traction / grip.

drawback: besides poor traction in wet, slicks wear out a lot faster than conventional tires.
conclusion : not practical for daily ride but okay for weekend car / track car / show car!
*
good explanation .. >>> liked

but ppl still using semi-slick for daily drive , i heard alot accident cases b4
some even said 160km/h with semi still safe and stable
in the end ...buy at ur own risk

Thanks for the heads up - very informative!

But I beg to differ on the availability of AD08R. I have a friend who waited 4 months for his 255/40/18 which I saw it was fitted on his car recently. We sum it up that AD08R for 18" is quite limited and taking into consideration if the local distributor is controlling the quantities just to make the tyre exclusive. If time permits, I would get a set of AD08R for my track use only.
*
can give yokohama Advan sport V105 a try if u going for F1 asymetric2

and of course I do have these tire ready stock and introduction price are unbelievable cheap

But usage is for track day/touge/daily driving
Fairly sure he don't want F1A2 or V105 and get slower lap time than he can on better tyres like AD08R laugh.gif
*
Yup , AD08r are street legal track tire which will more suit

Advan sport v105 are more toward all round performance and on par with michelin Pilot super sport catagory (with cheaper price of course)

Hi guys,

Need some recommendation since I'm a bit new into tyres and cars in general. I'm using a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Hatchback (2011 model), and just thinking of changing my tyres to a good quality one.

Some of my friends recommend Toyo Tyres T1R, but need opinions from the gurus here on this claim.

I normally use my car everyday on the Federal Highway and occasionally drive long distances (about 2-4 times per month). I like taking sharp corners, and good set of tyres for rainy days.

Size is a bit of a tough factor, since it's a 195/50/R16 size.

Any recommendations, gurus? Thanks! smile.gif
*
size convert to 205/45/16 just like other fiesta

Hi, any UHP tyres to recommend for the size 215/55/17 ?

Any advice?
