haha...thx thx how bout u?planning 2 get new car?

wider is better sometimes..

huh wat's wider?car or tyre lolz...or something else

i mean tyre...wider tyre imporves dry grip..not neccesary larger rim, but usually larger rim has wider profile...so ur choice is nice..

oic...i'm planning to go for 215/45/R17 but not sure which brand and series is good...so far recommended ones r michelin ps3, goodyear eagle f1 assymmetric (not the latest assymmetric 2) and directional 5, hankook v8 and v12, conti premium contact 2...any idea?

how much is your budget?

if your budget is unlimited, get GY F1 A2. or PS3 or Dicrectional 5 if u cannot find F1A2.

CPC2 not on same level, hankook are when u are on a tight budget.

im not sure this review is still valid because it 2006 review...but try have a look..

hmm...not sure wat's average mid range tyre will cost...but of coz not so expensive and high-end la...not going 2 use my car 2 race lol...juz wanna improve handling and cornering stability...but i dowan trade off comfort so much lo...later bcome very bumpy...so mid-end tyres should fare well...i know GY F1 A2 and PS3 damn expensive...but i juz put it up as info...not going 4 it...

lol...good review but those test r somewat more suitable for race cars...

17 inches ps3 215 50 17 is rmn560-600.

F1A2 slightly more expensive. F1D5 about same like Ps3.

wow my pocket alrdy going 2 burn big hole...wan use those tyres...the hole straight away disappear along with my pants lolz...any mid-end tyres to recommend?

bang for buck, hankook v12, not sure about the price. or proxes T1R.

xm2= fuel saving.

icic...hankook v12 and proxes t1r is it good all-rounder tyre?xm2 is fuel saving but in terms of handling and cornering stability seems not good

all rounder is the one ps3, f1a2, they very emphasis on wet handling also.

T1r and V12 less on wet. but for medium budget, T1R and V12 is worth a look. you can find reviews and tyre test from internet too.

icic...ok...i saw got people posted a tyre review by germany mag but not sure how 2 find it...google can't find...do u know of this?

many of those are street tyres

Better maintain your 205/55/R16 specs since you want comfort as well.
Just change to lightweight rims & use either PS3, Hankook V12 or Yokohama C.Drive 2. Switching to 45 profile will definately sacrifice a lot of comfort and handling gains won't be much unless you want to use this car for track.

Can even be better than PS3.
