never get Federal 595 evo, it really suck based on me & a fren with federal semi slick tyre.

Tyre uneven & poorly made, Vibrate when highspeed even on wheel balancing also cannot help.

Just my personal experience, not sure about the rest.

the only good federal is the RS-R.. of late, federal tires suffer from qc problem, not consistent..

hi..i want to ask what the different between CC5 and XM1 energy...
*
difference? CC5 made by conti-sime, XM1 by Michelin.. lol

jokes aside, CC5 is quieter and more comfort than XM1. Grip wise, about the same.

Primacy LC / GR-90 > CC5 > XM1

does treadwear,traction and temperature rate is really importance?

the numbers should serve as a guideline on how the tires perform (grip), resistance to heat and longevity.. but real world performance may be different.

for example, falken ziex 912.. the ratings are decent, but in actual fact, the tire cepat botak and has so-so wet performance. hmm.gif

oh really?? bro which would u recommend me for comfort driving and good grip?

for normal driving, CC5 in wet is ok for most people. just hydroplane a bit like most silent tires.

comfort and better grip, you need to look higher category like toyo C1S. but wear is faster.

Planning on changing my tyres, 205/55/16 currently using GT radial champiro BAX2, stock tyres.

Looking for comfort>handling. Went to my regular shop for some quotation and was recommended Dunlop formula D05, claim that it's a new thread pattern, all rounder. Quoted me RM270 per tyre, trade in price not included yet. Cheap to me.

Previously was looking at Michelin Primacy ST3 & PS3, was quoted RM380 by another shop. After reading numerous thread here, I shortlisted Bridgestone Turanza GR100, Yokohama Advan DB as well but was told the GR100 is not as good as advertised and the Yokohama is pretty pricey.

I know all tyres that I mentioned probably belong to diff groups but say I can stretch my budget to a max of RM400 per tyre, which would be the most worth while ?

since you want comfort over handling, michelin 3ST and yokohama advan db are worth the look for your budget.
