i want the best nvh tire within my budget. nothing besides the c.drive 2 fits that.

yea, i had c drive before, a good tire indeed. will get that c drive 2 for 14 inches size.

not sure if can get for 14"

as yokohama in malaysia (especially c.drive 2) can be a b**** in supply. they may have produced that size in japan/other countries, however if malaysia distro has really low demand on that size, they will just totally not import at all :/

c.drive 2 generally comes from Philippines btw, and minor/some from Thailand.
really shitty production rate and have severe outage in almost every tire shop i visit in the KV that deals with yokohama, many frustrations were had while looking for my R15, i actually wanted either 185/55/r15 or 195/50/r15. in the end settled for 195/55/15 as i couldnt get the wanted sizes (managed to get 195/60/15 for mom as per nissan sentra stock spec though) and lazy to wait any longer (few months wait, btw)

anyone got price info for GY F1A1 or not?looks damn good...but duno price good 4 my pocket or not

Think about it, Toyota Altis is a family sedan and it's recommended for comfort drive, you don't need to spend a fortune to get the 'best' tyre that costs rm500 above so that you get the extra grip to speed >180km/h

Yokohama have some nice series that floats arn 300+ to 400.
A drive R1 & C drive is decent enough to pair with Altis, with softer compound means it will absorb road noise so you get a even quieter driving experience.

ps: you change rim + tyre already void warranty so why not just change the entire suspension?

err i think i said somewhere in the replies that i'm looking for below 400 lolz...and yes decent ones are priced 300+ to 400...actually i'm getting tyre which can grip well during rain and fast cornering, and feels stable while cruising at high speed...i know altis is floaty and not good in fast cornering...and yes i'll b installing bars...for now i can think of those brands and corresponding series which are <400...at least i think...i duno the current price for some of them since there are no price info on them in the tyre price list topic...

lol entire suspension will even cost more swt

fast cornering + safe = low ride = new suspension.

Tire alone wont be the saviour try pm this guy for reasonably priced Yokohama tires.

i know but at least will improve handling for altis lo...next time onli change suspension...btw the guy u recommended onli sells yokohama?

i think the main business is Yokohama and Nexen, but you'll be able to find continental and some other brands in his shop, friendly chap

highly recommended, been dealing with him for my recent 2 sets (of 8 pieces) if tires lol.

c.drive 2 prices also amongst the cheapest (220-230 compared to the usual 230-250 price hike due to low supply ) in KV, and most importantly he got them while other shops dont lol

yea alrdy pm him...do u guys hv any recommendation for lightweight nice rims?mid range priced rim would do la...

advanti light weight rims are "cheap and cheerful". lol

basically original too, too cheap to be worth imitating for LOL!

=edit=
i have a picture of my wheels and including review too on his thread

Here's what i upgraded to recently, 8kg nett per rim. Enkei sc22

wow nice rim how much total damage for rim alone?i see u r using 215/45/R17 size tyre...wat's ur rim's pcd?

damage 1.8k, pcd 100 offset 45

wow quite a premium price u paid for there...hmm...5x100 17"...wat's ur opinion on advanti and OZ?

1.8k consider ok price to pay for original rims.

i've no experience on avanti, o.z is even more expensive if you get the original easily cost over 4k and finding pcd100 is the pain in the a$$, you know what i mean

if you are looking for a reliable and light weight imitation, try Advan Racing wheel, design is more subtle and the weight is really light, price arn 1-1.2k.
