Guys, it's finally time to change the tyres on my Neo CPS. I really wanted RE001 but due to budget issues I had to look at other choices.

I am willing to spend around RM1K for the tyres. Any good recommendations? I was told the Neo tyre size is a weird one 195/50/16. Not a lot of choices. I am trying to avoid CSC-1 if possible. Kinda sucky to me. Grip in dry is decent but in wet is horrible and dangerous.

I am looking for decent grip for the occasional spirited driving and a safe tyre for wet condition (take note I don't plan to drive fast when raining, just want something that is safe when it's raining).

If possible, I like to keep the same size. Don't really want to go to 45 because the Neo ride is already not the best, don't wanna make it any worse that it is.

I read around and saw someone recommending Yokohama A drive R1. What's the opinion of this?

with a 1k budget and some $$ trading in your old donuts.. get the michelin ps3.. its a no brainer.. xm2 would be a good 2nd choice.. both has very good traction on wet roads..

Thank you for your reply but I look around the net and the price for a PS3 is rm500++ per tyre . That is way over my budget

How about Yokohama A drive R1? What's a good price for 195/50/16?

It's ok, I listen to loud metal music while driving anyway. LOL

How about threadwear? I heard Yokohama tyres are softer.
