Looking for comfort & silent tyres. Currently on 195/50 CDrive, which seems to becomes noisier once hit abt 70% thread wear.
Am looking at PS3 or CDrive 2, are those 2 silent & comfort type? Oh maybe will change to 195/55 if it'll make a differences in terms more comfort & silent. Any advice? |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 22 2012, 04:54 PM) changing to 55 profile would be more comfort since more rubber to reduce NVH Icic...any other recommendations that are silent & comfort type? Not into performance tho. Budget if can ard rm200 c drive 2 is purely comfort, ps3 offers performance as well, at a higher price of course  |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 22 2012, 05:08 PM) budget around rm200 is a lil low for ps3 i believe. even c drive 2 also more than rm200 per tire lol. ya I know its a bit low. well anything ard 200-250 is within range. Most important is comfort & silence. CDrive new is good but once used ard 30%, the noise becomes much louder.another alternative is continental's cc5. however from feedbacks i've gotten (never used it myself personally), grip seems to be a lil bad and tends to aquaplane. I heard that abt the CC5 as well, so most likely will forego continental. the foreman keep on pushing hankook, but me think its not comfort type??? Im not sure hence would like more opinion. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 22 2012, 05:29 PM) which hankook is the foreman pushing? v12? thats directional iinm and directional and NVH are never good friends Would like to try new type or brand preferably, if not, most likely back to Cdrive 2.  if you want cheaper korean tires (as opposed to more expensive japanese ones), can opt for kumho instead (forgot which model, was ku31 iinm?). c drive 2 for the most part, is comfort until you start whacking corners over 100km/h lol, then it will have some noise as the sidewalls didnt seem to have NVH reduction treading? if you're just cruising, no problem. (been using c drive 2 for around half a yea, clocking maybe 20-30k km+ iinm) the only complain I have against CDrive is the loudness once worn abt 30%. Other than that all good. Im not sure which hankook but for sure is directional as he showed me the sample tyre, hence I'm skeptical abt it. Prefer jap brands is possible. Korean brand....just dont have the confidence yet  |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 22 2012, 06:24 PM) if you were using c drive, c drive 2 is very much different than the old c drive. both the compound used and treading design also different Icic...then most likely go for CDrive 2 since PS3 quite expensive oh it has a nice orange smell when your tires are new btw  japanese brands, AFAIK bridgestone/yokohama/toyo are the more reputable ones, and in terms of comfort tires, i believe yokohama is in the lead Thanks for your input. Btw whats the price u got for it back then, just for references as the tyre price list thread not that update. This post has been edited by vreis: Aug 22 2012, 06:28 PM |

QUOTE(babylck @ Aug 29 2012, 05:50 PM) Just changed mine to C Drive 2 185/60/15 for RM200/pcs.. I'm very happy with this tyre so far.. Quiet and comfortable.. haven't got the chance to test on wet road condition yet. mana...so cheap, klang ka?QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 29 2012, 05:51 PM) wtf so cheap lol. was going to say that as well as a reminder, don't push it too hard. it is a comfort tire and not performance tire |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Nov 16 2012, 02:15 PM) 195/55/15 c drive 2. Running on the same tyres & size. rm230/pcs incld balancing & alignment~220-230 or so per tire iinm (quite some time already) IMO the noise is worse than its predecessor C drive which is more silent. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Nov 20 2012, 05:42 PM) never had the old c drive so can't comment. however from most feedback c drive 2 is much quieter than old c drive which makes your comment rather surprising. i was surprised as well. Maybe my expectation is high but it seems the noise level in Cdrive 2 is not that good considering last time I was using 195/50 which is lower profile.of course this does come with a downside which is worsened treadwear |
