I just changed to Yokohama C Drive 2 ( 205/55/R16) my comments are..

1) Comfort, very good, I like it, most likely coz it's 55 series

2) Noise, good enough for me

3) Dry grip --- sucks big time, it's the most unstable tire I've ever used, even cheaper stuff can perform better IMHO. Since using it, I'm afraid of most corners, passing heavy vehicles on the highway, uneven road (coz car bounce everywhere)

4) Wet grip --- no chance to drive in rain yet, but judging from the dry grip, it will probably be the most dangerous tires I've ever used in the wet.

got pics ?? otherwise maybe wrong advise you get since we all cannot see for ourselves.

I think your tire guy will "tampal" the inner side of the tire to reinforce it and plug any leaks you have around the tire.

if not mistaken 60 series hard to get. Why not change to 55 series, more choices.

may i know how much air you filled your tires with?

Tried from 35 to 40 psi on the C drive 2, harder improved handling a bit, but it still sucks.

What size are you using?? Isn't it 35 to 40 quite high ?

size is 205/55/R16 as in earlier post....

Anyway at least most of the cornering issue has been sorted out after I've adjusted the wheels to have more negative camber. Still bouncy but at least controllable and predictable.
