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.

F1A2 slightly more expensive. F1D5 about same like Ps3.

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.

how much F1A1?its performance will b on par with v12 and t1r?

F1A2 if u see the review, pwn all UHP tire. ( for both dry and wet)

F1A2, Ps3, F1D5,CSC3/CSC5. 1st one F1A2 is the best, and PS3 so on.

the rest are pocket friendly, but in the wet must be careful.

those 4 above are emphasis on both dry and wet.

but, they are not cheap biggrin.gif

the rest of the tire, just dont drive so fast in the wet, all should be ok.
